A Post By: James Brandon A hard graduated neutral density filter worked great here to darken the sky. There are three types of photographers in the world; those that try to get it right in camera, those that simply rely on post-processing, and those who believe that both mindsets together lead to the best possible outcome. I try to always keep the mindset of that third type. If I can get everything right in camera (and save minutes or even hours in post) I will. I also have always loved post-processing and the art of making an image...
read moreNatural Style Newborn Photos: The Way I Like to Remember Them
A Post By: Melinda Smith Why natural lifestyle newborn photography? There are lots of different styles of photography when it comes to capturing a newborn baby. Some people love to use lots of props, and introduce many fun things into every photo. Some are experts at posing the baby in unique and whimsical positions. Although I can appreciate all the different styles, I prefer to capture a newborn baby the way that I remember my three newborns. My kids are almost all grown up now, and it’s hard to remember exactly what they were like when...

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, more commonly referred to as the LSST, will take ultra-high-resolution images of the universe around us in the relatively near future, thanks to recent construction approval from the US Department of Energy. This will pave the way for the telescope’s completion for its anticipated 2022 launch date. The LSST contains a 3.2 gigapixel (3200 megapixels) digital camera, which will be the largest in the world – in total, about the size of a small car. The focal plane uses 189...
read moreSamsung NX1 First Impressions Review updated with shooting experience
I have not looked at the 45, as I have no interest in that focal length. The 30 is sharp, but the distortion is high, is highly corrected electronically, and more importantly, it is too slow (in APS-C I need a 1.4) and the bokeh is horrid. Those pancake lenses were designed around size, weight, and most importantly, cost. I do not mind paying $1000 for a lens I will use for tens of thousands of shots over the years, and am willing to deal with the size and weight. The pancakes were designed for the little LCD-only cameras, and were meant to...

read more‘The Cut’: A Stop-Motion That Offers a Cross-Section Look Into Fruits and Vegetables
Photographer Carl Pendle created this clever stop-motion titled “The Cut†that offers an interesting perspective into different fruits and vegetables. Pendle created the project over the course of 3 days with a very sharp knife. He would slice off a layer of the produce and then shoot a photograph with each cut. He ended up capturing around 1,000 separate photos. When played back in sequence, the photos turn into a stop motion animation of the fruits and vegetables changing shape and exposing their innards. Source Article from...

Underwater photographer Aaron Gekoski was recently on an outing to photograph one of the largest migrations in the world’s oceans, but the project was hampered by unfavorable conditions. Instead of writing the trip off as a failure, however, Gekoski and his buddy decided to tackle a different photo project instead: selfies with sharks. Gekoski jumped into the water with large sharks swimming all around him and started trying to snap the perfect self-portrait with “one of the sea’s apex predators. Here’s a behind-the-scenes...
read moreCanon 5Ds Won’t Have 4K, but the 1D C Just Got a $4K Price Drop and the 5D Mark IV Might
When the upcoming Canon 5Ds was leaked a couple of days ago, one of the features that was notably absent was 4K video recording. Instead, it will be a high-res, photo-centric DSLR that can capture 1920×1080 video at 30fps. This detail about the 5Ds’ video capabilities was leaked in a much more comprehensive spec lineup over at digicam-info. Other new details include a 100% field of view viewfinder, an electronic level, a fastest shutter speed of 1/8000s, a 3.2-inch 1.04-million-dot LCD screen, mini HDMI out, and an external...

There’s a royal rumble going on in the world of cloud storage, and photo storage is one of the battlegrounds upon which the war is being waged. Dropbox launched a photo storage and sharing service in late 2014, and Amazon recently added unlimited photo storage to its Prime membership. Now Microsoft is getting more serious with photography as well: this past week the company announced updates to its OneDrive service that greatly improve the photo experience. The updates introduce all new ways to “view, manage, and share your...

London-based interdisciplinary photographer Sean Tucker has created a helpful three-part video tutorial that teaches the basics of shooting larger products in a studio in front of a white background. Part One: Shooting Tucker starts out by walking through camera settings and setting up your lighting for the shot. Part Two: Editing Next, we learn about the editing process from retouching the image and cutting the product out onto a pure white background to adding a drop shadow. Part Three: Recoloring Tucker concludes by discussing...

A Post By: Suzi Pratt If you’ve been taking photos for a while, this question will undoubtedly cross your mind at some point: “Am I a professional photographer or an amateur?†The idea of what separates an amateur from a professional sparks many debates, and there are many ways of looking at it. By Bob Prosser What the Dictionary says Perhaps the most straightforward way of separating amateurs from professionals is looking in the dictionary. By definition, an amateur is “a person who engages in a pursuit or activity for pleasure...

A Post By: Alex Morrison There are many reasons that you might want to add words over your images. Text on photos makes great promotional items such as postcards; you can create your own social media messages with quotes or inspirational sayings; and you can add your name or your website URL. I’m sure that once you understand all the creative options for adding text, you’ll come up with hundreds of other things you can create with your photos. This article will guide you through the many ways you can work with text in Photoshop to...

I believe that not every accomplished photographer is gear-oblivious. Case in point, it looks like the author of “Joie de Vivre” (the horse) likes fast shutters; the tips of the hairs of the mane and the tail look frozen in air.And, on other technicalities, one staple discussion here (more often than not scoffed at as pointless) is about sensor DR, especially across brands. I wonder, though, if the author of Leading Actress/photo 11 would settle for a so-so sensor? (No crushed shadows, nothing miserably blown next to the light...

This post is a curmudgeonly look at the current state of landscape photography. I was in Munich yesterday, munching on some bratwurst and drinking a beer in a place where a huge TV monitor on the wall was playing a slideshow of landscape photos. I couldn’t keep my eyes away from it, as the photos were really beautiful. You know the type of photo: amazing locations, wonderful light, colorful sunsets, starry skies, waterfalls, ocean waves, tropical beaches, brilliant colors. Most of them revealed a mastery of technique, accurate choice...

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.
