‘Lightspeed’: A Stop Motion Journey Around California Made with 1,000+ Light Painted Photos
Light painting photographer Darren Pearson spent the past year working on the stop motion animation above, titled “Lightspeed.†Each of the 1,000 frames in it is a separate light-painted photograph that was captured in various locations across California. Locations featured in the video include Mono Lake, Big Sur, Trona Pinnacles, Death Valley, Sequoia, Joshua Tree, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. At each spot, Pearson pulled out his camera gear and LED lights and then began shooting long exposure photos while waving...
read moreJPEG Voodoo: Or, Does JPEG File Size Matter?
Would you say the above photograph has any compression artifacts? Compressed too much, not enough, or just right? What exactly is “just right†anyway. This post will explore the concept of compression, why and how do we do it, and how aggressive we should be in either reducing the file size or increasing the image quality. I have been asked many times about the JPEG compression, file size, screen or projection resolution and how these affect the visible quality of an image. It is hard to convince people that at the same pixel...

A Post By: Sime I’ve been using studio lights for a couple of years now, I’ve used a few different brands with all sorts of different modifiers, from the basic softboxes that your less expensive lighting kits might come with, to my current favourite, the 2 meter Octa from Studio-Flash.com. The one consistency with bundled lighting kits is that they mostly all come with a set of lightweight stands that, for the most part, are great and will certainly do what you need them to do when you’re starting out and they’ll get you a long way...

A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth Over the past few years I have learned a great deal about doing portraits, especially of young kids. I think it’s because I get so much enjoyment out of these types of shoots that I end up doing them more, though at some point it hardly seems fair because I wonder if I’m having more fun than the children whose pictures I am taking. While each session is unique, I have developed my own style (which, in many ways, will always be a work in progress as I continue to learn new things) when it comes to both the...

While pursuing a self-portrait project about motherhood, photographer Jamie Diamond stumbled upon the world of reborn dolls. These are realistic dolls that are made to look like actual babies as much as possible. An entire subculture exists around this idea: the process of creating these dolls is called “reborning,†and the artists who create them are called “reborners.†Diamond spent a year immersing herself in a community of reborners, investigating their craft and documenting their lives through portraits. Once she had a...

read more27 Elegant Images of the World of Dance
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Last week we looked at magical images of music, this week let’s explore the world of dance! Dancers have a lot of passion and determination. It takes a lot of work and practice to be a good dancer, even more to be great. Hmm, sound familiar? Just like anything – the more you do it, the better chance you have of improvement. I’ve always silently envied dancers. They move with such grace, flow, elegance. Not to mention how fit and strong they always look. Photography of dancers is the same – when done...

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.
