Contest Copyright Controversy a Crazy Coincidence
Here’s one of the stranger copyright controversies we’ve come across. It all started with a photo contest and an accusation of copyright infringement. The story was reported by The Telegraph and has to do with the Big Picture photo competition the newspaper holds on a weekly basis. In round 36 of the contest back in 2009, photographer Sarah Scurr of Harpenden, Herts submitted a photo she had captured back in 2006 showing an iceberg off the coast of Chile. Scurr had been on a cruise traveling along the coast of Chile when she...

Keegan Allen is an American actor who’s best known for playing the character Toby Cavanaugh on the ABC Family TV show Pretty Little Liars. He’s also a passionate photographer. Above is a 3-minute interview USA Today recently did with Allen about his interest and background. Allen “never goes anywhere without a Leica by his side,†the paper says. Allen says he came from an artistic family in which his actor father was a hobbyist photographer and his mother was a watercolor painter. His first camera was a Leica M6, given to him...

A Post By: Daniel Korzeniewski For travel photography, geotagging your photos has become fundamental. By geotagging your images, you’ll not only be able to remember the locations once you are back home, but also it will help on searches. If you intend to sell your photos at any time, adding the metadata pertaining to the location into the file is going to improve searches and make your photograph easier to find on the web. Geotagging is a rather simple process and there are a couple different ways to do it. At the simplest level, you simply...
read moreWriter’s Favorite Lens: 50mm f/1.8
A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth Picking a favorite lens can be tricky, because there are aspects of a variety of lenses that I like. Sometimes I like to use zoom lenses, sometimes prime lenses, and other times specialty lenses like macro or ultra-wide-angle. But despite the variety of options available, at the end of the day I keep coming back to one particular lens as my pick of the litter. The lens that gets the job done no matter what situation I’m in, the one that consistently produces outstanding results more than any other, is my trusty...
read moreReaders’ Choice Awards 2014: The Winners
This isn’t a contest about what product of 2014 is the best for “serious” photographers, though. This is about the best new product, overall. D750 is a great camera, but it isn’t nearly as groundbreaking as the X-T1 was, nor as accessible and versatile. And if we want to judge this by pure numbers, like MP or AF speed, obviously the one released latest will win. But this isn’t purely about which has the best specs. The XT-1 is nearly $700 cheaper, and lighter. If we are to exclude things like that, then this...
read moreA Look at How Michael Paul Smith Creates Historical Photos with Incredibly Detailed Models
Here’s a fascinating video about how photographer Michael Paul Smith creates and photographs Elgin Park, a 20th century town created through miniature 1/24th-scale models. Smith creates incredibly realistic photos by capturing the detailed dioramas with an ordinary compact camera, and his images have gone viral in recent years on the Internet (the project has over 70 million views on Flickr). The video was created by Animal, which will soon be publishing Smith’s photo book on this project. Everything in each of Smith’s scenes was...
read moreBTS: Shooting Portraits of Celebrities at Sundance in a Tiny Tent Studio
Here’s a short 2-minute behind-the-scenes video showing how Getty’s Chief Entertainment Photographer Larry Busacca shot celebrity portraits at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Busacca had to shoot all the portraits in the same tiny, green-walled tent studio, so he had to get creative with posing to shoot unique portraits of the actors. The speed at which Busacca had to operate was ridiculous. Tasked with shooting thousands of portraits over the course of five days, Busacca would typically have only 10 minutes with each cast...
read morekraftwerk: A Portable Power Plant That Can Charge Your Camera with Standard Gas
Want a portable generator for recharging your devices that you can literally fill up in just seconds? It’ll soon be available… but you’ll need to be comfortable carrying a gas-powered power plant around in your bag. The kraftwerk is the world’s first fuel cell power generator that’s operated on standard gas. It takes just 3 seconds to refill. The small and “highly efficient†device is refilled using standard camping gas or commercially available lighter gas. Just spray some gas in using a canister and it can be used...
read moreIt Looks Like Someone’s Solargraphy Camera Just Got Blown Up by an Atlanta Bomb Squad
If you’re looking to do a solargraphy project by leaving a pinhole camera in a place for months, a bridge above a busy freeway is not a smart location choice. Someone doing this caused a bomb scare in Virginia back in 2013, and it looks like the exact same thing caused a ridiculously huge commotion in Atlanta, Georgia this morning. A busy freeway was shut down in both directions, and a bomb squad was called out to detonate the device. Local news station WSB-TV reports that the ‘tube shaped object†was duct taped to the side of...
read moreA Review of the Venus 60mm f/2.8, the World’s First 2:1 Macro Lens with Infinity Focus
Last month, a Chinese company called Venus Optics unveiled a 60mm f/2.8 lens, the first 2:1 magnification lens with infinity focus. Thomas Shahan, the “Bob Ross of macro photography“, was sent a copy from the company and reviewed it in the 4.5-minute video above. Shahan notes that the lens weighs in at a little over a pound and has a solid metal housing. It’s “hefty†and “robust,†he says. A quirky aspect is that the front element of the lens is relatively small, and it recedes way back into the lens housing when you’re...

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
