DPReview Readers’ best shots of 2014

Posted by on 27th, Jan, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Very nice pictures all-around! Let this be a reminder to trolls and fanboys that THIS is what photography is about: no emphasis on what camery was used, just the end result as the photographer envisioned it. @DPR: a pity that it isn’t possible to easily navigate though the pictures in a screen-filling format – having to click on every image to see it full-size and then closing the opened tabs again is very cumbersome. Also, I found the categories quite confused – I realize the mamoth task it must have been to make the...

Photographer Makes Fruits and Vegetables Glow by Sticking Lights Inside

Romanian photographer Radu Zaciu has been experimenting recently with photographing fruits and vegetables using internal lighting. He places bulbs inside and uses that as the main light source for his series of glowing images. The project is called “The Light Inside.” He starts by drilling or carving holes into the fruits and veggies. The holes need to be big enough to fit a light bulb, but not so big that it completely removes the flesh of the “subject” (which helps give a glow color that unique to the fruit). “It all...

“The Last Book” is an interesting series of images collected by Dutch photographer Reinier Gerritsen, who spent 13 weeks over 3 years scouring the subway system of New York City for riders reading books.

Gerritsen shot thousands of photographs during his many hours in the subways, and what resulted was an extensive catalog of subway riders and their books of choice. He has selected a large number of them for display on the project’s...

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt In this short video tutorial by Tuts+ you can get a quick overview of how the basic sliders work in Adobe Camera Raw. It has a great demonstration using a white to black grayscale image which shows what each slider does, and which parts of your image each are affecting.
