Weekly Photography Challenge – Long Exposures

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt In this collection of long exposure photographs you can see some great examples of how you can use this technique to produce stunning images. By Stewart Ayrey I teach a night photography class and many times I’ve seen a whole new world of exciting things open up for my students when they learn about long exposures. Of course you can use this technique in the daytime as well, but it is often associated with night photography. On a weekend workshop I lead we go out and photograph the sunset and I MAKE them use...

37 Ethereal Almost Supernatural Long Exposure Photographs

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Landscape photographers use a technique involving long exposures to create those milky smooth waterfalls, and misty images of coastlines. But what other ways are long exposures used? Here are a few long exposure photographs that seem almost otherworldly or supernatural in their appearance for you to ponder and enjoy: Smoking Jungle by Karim Nafatni on 500px Snake on a Train by Brian Donovan on 500px Skipping Rocks by Michael Shainblum on 500px Autumn Swirl by Andrew Kumler on 500px 49 Shades of Grey by Dylan Toh...

Canon 7D mirror box filmed at 10,000fps

Posted by on 31st, Jan, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

I asked this question on the YouTube page, but maybe I’ll have better luck here: I’m sure I’m making an obvious mistake here, but it’s killing me 🙂 At 4:20 he explains how the top of the picture is “older” than the bottom, due to the way the shutter leaves work. Then at 4:28 he further explains that this is in fact reversed due to the way lenses invert the image, i.e. the bottom of the picture will be “older”. So why is the shadow of the cork, which is lower in the frame and therefore should be...

Last Chance to vote! 2014 Readers’ Polls – best product of 2014

Posted by on 31st, Jan, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Think what you want. People are no longer buying cameras, they are buying reviews. They read the reviews, mingle in the fanbois forums, click through to B&H, Adorama, Amazon, etc., pay their money — and five days later they finally get their camera, bought sight unseen. Pretty crappy products when people are no longer inspecting the actual product before they buy. Look at the “I want it” numbers in the voting. And then the links at the bottom inviting you to “Shop Now” at Amazon. People are buying reviews. Bricks...

How I Made Myself a DIY Spider Light for $40

How I Made Myself a DIY Spider Light for $40

I recently made myself a DIY Spider Light as a thrifty alternative to the Spiderlite that costs hundreds of dollars. The entire project ended up costing $40 per light and can be built entirely with parts from a local home improvement store. It turned out pretty well I think, with the added benefit of being bulletproof — you can stand on the body without breaking it. What You’ll Need How to Build It I started off by using a holesaw to drill socket holes in the 4” domed cap. Then I trimmed some length off the back end of the 4”...

The Graceful Movements of Tennis Players Captured with Long Exposures and Strobe Lights

For a series of photos titled “Chronophoto,” photographer Jean-Yves Lemoigne paid tribute to old strobe photography camera tests with his own series of images that explore the movements of tennis players. The effect was achieved entirely in-camera by photographing the athletes in a dark studio with long exposures and repeatedly flashing strobe lights. Each of the flashes records a ghostlike image of the player in the frame at a different moment in time. These photos were captured for a special tennis issue of Black Rainbow...

Watch How DSLR Shutters Work in 10,000FPS Super Slow Motion

If you want to see the mechanics of how a modern DSLR shutter works, one way to do so is through slow-motion captured with a high-speed camera. That’s what Gavin Free of The Slow Mo Guys recently did by pointing a Phantom Flex at his Canon 7D and capturing what goes on inside the mirror box during exposures of various shutter speeds. By slowing down the movements after shooting at up to 10,000 frames per second, we get to see exactly what goes on in the camera in the blink of an eye. Viewed side-by-side, we see the gaps of various...

Crowdsourced Instagram Photos of Snowstorm Land on the Front Page of the New York Times

Yesterday’s front page of the New York Times featured a story about the snow that has been falling on the Northeastern United States. Accompanying the article and dominating a large portion of the page were 9 Instagram photos of the snow as snapped by Times readers. Poytner points out that this appears to have been the first time the New York Times published audience-submitted photographs on the front page of its printed newspaper. On Monday, the New York Times published an article that asked readers to share their Instagram photos...

11 Tips for Creating Stunning Photographs of Cities at Dawn

A Post By: Anthony Epes We’ve all seen hundreds of gorgeous photos of sunrises over beaches and beautiful landscapes. Of course they have the capacity to wow and inspire, but I would argue that it’s far more interesting to photographs cities at dawn. You have so much more to work with – buildings, graffiti, debris, rivers, glass, the odd person, roads, and greenery in the midst of all of this urban-ness. The possibilities to create unique photos are endless. So, if you combine all this intense city landscape with the wonderful and...

Food Photography – How to Shoot A Beverage With Only Two Lights

A Post By: Joel Dryer The wonderful thing about food photography is that you can easily turn your apartment, home, or garage into a studio. This image was shot for a local ice cream franchise that offers a different spin on the traditional root beer float. The set was constructed on a coffee table with common household items, and was lit with just two lights. Final image You might be thinking that the featured photo does not look like your normal, every-day root beer float, and you would be right. The ice cream pellets in the float...
