read more7 Photography Podcasts That are Worth a Listen
A Post By: Ken Lyons There is no shortage of podcasts about photography. They cater for everyone from beginners to experienced amateurs, semi-pros and professionals. A quick search in Google returns so many options it can be a bit overwhelming. It’s impossible to listen to them all, so how do you decide which ones to download or subscribe to? The simplest answer is to follow recommendations from friends and colleagues. So, in no particular order, here are seven photography based podcasts that I currently subscribe to, that I think will be...
read moreHow to Choose Which Version of Lightroom to Buy
A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson Buying Lightroom used to be simple. All you had to do was buy the full version of the program, and upgrade (if you wished) every time a new version came out. But ever since Adobe announced the Creative Cloud subscription service, photographers have been faced with two choices. You can still go for the standalone version, or you can buy Lightroom as part of a Creative Cloud monthly membership. But how do you know which is the best option for you? Read on to find out. Creative Cloud is announced Adobe’s initial...

Connect smartphone reviews are written with the needs of photographers in mind. We focus on camera features, performance and image quality. Introduction While both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 were built by Korean manufacturer LG, the Nexus 6 – the latest model in Google’s Nexus line of showcase devices - was designed and built in cooperation with US company Motorola. In light of this, it’s no surprise that the Nexus 6 looks very much like an enlarged version of the 2014 edition of the Motorola Moto X, with the same...
read moreIdentity At Play: Basketball Culture In the Sierra Norte Villages of Mexico
I grew up in Guelatao de Juárez, a Mexican village of approximately 500 people in Oaxaca’s Sierra Norte. Guelatao is famous not only as the birthplace of Mexican president Benito Juárez, but also as the site of the annual Copa Benito Juárez, in which more than 200 teams of indigenous Zapotec, Mixe, and Chinantec players compete at basketball over a period of three days. Unlike in most of Mexico, where soccer reigns supreme, basketball is king in the Sierra. The sport was introduced in the 1930s by president Lazaro Cardenas as a...

Last year, lighting company Profoto teamed up with New England-based wedding photographers Justin and Mary Marantz to create a series of behind-the-scenes videos showing how the duo goes about shooting a wedding from start to finish. The Walk Through a Wedding series started in February 2014 and ended in December of that year with 20 short videos. Each video offers a glimpse into the couple’s mindset and photo process for a particular shot, starting with an “iconic†portrait of the bride at the beginning of the day to capturing a...

Can you tell what the translucent object is in the photograph above? It’s a single grain of sugar captured in a macro photograph by artist Pyanek, whose “Amazing Worlds Within Our World†project is a series of macro shots that show the beautiful details of ordinary things — things that we generally don’t (or can’t) see with our naked eyes. Here’s the project presented in video form. For each of the photos, see if you can figure out what the photo is of before the answer shows up on the screen: The photos were captured...
read moreA Simple Video Tutorial on Creating a Hyperlapse with Your DSLR
If you’ve been itching to try your hand at shooting a hyperlapse video, the short and sweet video tutorial above may be a nice place to start your journey. It was made by Cal Thomson, the same guy who created the popular time-lapse tutorial that we featured earlier this month. A “hyperlapse†is a timelapse with camera movements. By changing the position of the camera slightly in between each exposure, tracking is introduced and the viewer can be taken across long distances in a very short amount of time. “Whilst I’m...

American photojournalist W. Eugene Smith was widely praised for his devotion to photography and for pioneering the use of the photo essay to tell stories. He is said to have “created at least fifty images so powerful that they have changed the perception of our history.†There’s one little fact about how Smith worked that may be of great interest to photographers these days, especially as debates rage on regarding the merits of “straight out of camera†(SOOC. i.e. non-Photoshopped) photography: Smith believed that most of...
