8 Quotes From Master Photographer Ansel Adams and How You to Apply Them to Your Photography

A Post By: Bruce Wunderlich The technology of photography has been evolving at a very rapid rate. Most of our cameras are almost obsolete by the time we purchase them! But one thing about photography hasn’t changed over the years and that is the art of photography. We can learn so much about the that from the masters of yester-years. Ansel Adams was one of these great masters, best known for his iconic black and white images of the American West. Let’s review some quotes from Mr. Adams and consider how we might apply them to modern day...

How to Crop Like a Boss in Photoshop

A Post By: Gavin Hardcastle I have a habit of shooting for the crop (see my previous article ‘No Telephoto lens No Problem – Shoot for the crop‘) which often means that my final vision is a 4:2 proportion, or even a 4:1 panorama style image, instead of the most common 3:2 that is the default for most digital cameras. With Photoshop’s latest crop tool this has never been easier, so let me show you how to crop like a boss! Step 1 – Load the Crop Tool in Photoshop With your image open in Photoshop, press the ‘C’ button on your...

Nikon D750 flare investigated: Why we’re not worried

Posted by on 22nd, Jan, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Sorry, it’s bad news…period. This “recall” is an expensive exercise, no matter how anyone tries to spin it. They are paying for shipping both ways for my D750. Also for the inspection, adjustment/repair, calibration and testing. Plus the stock swap of the entire retail distribution channel. This significantly erodes if not completely eradicates an already thin profit margin on the body. Nikon, like most if not all manufacturers, makes more money on lenses and accessories. Problem for Nikon et al., in my opinion, is...

Animated GIFs Reveal the Retouching That Went Into Composited Photos

Ashot Gevorkyan is a professional photographer and retoucher based in Kaliningrad, Russia. He recently created a series of animated GIFs that offer a look into how commercial images are composited and retouched from the original photograph to the final delivered image. This shot for a promo calendar was captured in a parking structure and then retouched into a sunny outdoor scene: Gevorkyan created this image for the BFA Bank in St. Petersburg by combining two separate photos (one featuring the girl and the other showing the bank in...

New Atlanta Stadium’s Roof Opens and Closes Like an 8-Blade Camera Lens Aperture

Here’s something super random that caught our attention: the new stadium for the Atlanta Falcons football team features an innovative roof design that seems to be inspired by the world of photography: it opens and closes like an 8-blade camera lens aperture. The New Atlanta Stadium is estimated to cost $1.4 billion. Here’s what its website says about the retractable roof: Inspired by the oculus in the ancient Rome Pantheon, the stadium’s unique roof opening will provide tremendous flexibility in hosting a wide variety of events...

Head Shots of Hand Models: These Are The People Behind Those Hands in Ads

You know those hands you see in advertisements and commercials? Those hands belong to people who make a living by offering up their beautiful hands to help companies market their products. Some of those hands are insured for seven figure sums and have helped their owners become “supermodels” in their field. For their project “Head Shots of Hand Models,” ad executive Alex Holder and photographer Oli Kellett shot portraits of hand models, both their hands and their faces. These are people who work with the world’s largest...

Nikon Issues an Official Service Advisory for the D750 Flare Issue: Check for a Black Dot

Nikon said earlier this month that it would be offering free repairs for D750 owners affected by the camera’s flare issue, and today the company issued a service advisory that gets the ball rolling. There’s a new serial number checking page on the Nikon site that can help existing D750 owners determine whether their camera is one of those affected. Find your camera’s serial number on the baseplate, type it into the field on the website, and the website will provide you with details on how to get your camera repaired for free (as...

One Photographer’s Reflections on Making His Own Instant Photo Press Camera

One Photographer’s Reflections on Making His Own Instant Photo Press Camera

One of the most important decisions a photographer can make is picking a camera, and with all the different kinds out there, everyone has options. You can look up reviews, talk shop with colleagues, and take your time in the very subjective process of picking out the best camera for yourself and your needs. But what about building the best camera for yourself? I grew up in a very poor household in rural Louisiana, where buying something new was a rare occurrence and hiring a repairman for the house or car was out of the question. Most...
