People like to occasionally have photos of themselves in them. In the past, you had to hand the camera over to someone else to take the photo for you, or stick your camera on a tripod. “Selfie” simply means that you can now do it all on your own, and without a tripod. Having a photo of you and your friends in it is not a “craze”. People have been doing it since the beginning of photography. Technology has simply enabled us to do it more easily.

read morePanasonic has taken the wraps off the Lumix DMC-GF7, a retro-styled 16MP mirrorless camera with a 180-degree upward-tilting screen ready for – you guessed it – selfies. Internally, it shares much of the GM1/GM5’s components including built-in Wi-Fi with NFC and a sensor it also shares with the Lumix GX7 offering 1080/60p HD video. It also provides a built-in pop-up flash and a 1.04M dot 3″ touch screen, though lacks a built-in electronic viewfinder. The GF7 will be sold for $599 with the...
read more@stevo, I think if someone is happy enough with his system, we should not give him GAS :)) I like these two lenses a lot 55/1.8 (specially at f/2.8 and beyond) and 16-35/4 on sony A FE. Not overly impressed about other as such, as much. But 55/1.8 is quite an expensive lens to buy roughly 700£ on amazon.uk. Compare it with Fuji on similar “angle of view” 50mm equivalent i.e. XF 35/1.4 is roughly 400£ and with fuji promo its 300£. IQ was its a great lens too, you can’t complain about it on any thing. You won’t see...

read moreHere’s a tutorial that will teach you how to photograph and process one of the most colorful parts of the night sky, the Orion constellation. It will walk you through all the steps of planning, shooting, and processing a photograph of Orion and the colorful features in it. Introduction The best time of year to capture the brightest part of the sky is typically in June or July when the galactic center appears high in the sky almost the entire night. But every year, as we near the December solstice, the Earth moves into a position...
read moreJapanese photographer Daisuke Takakura takes clone photography pretty seriously. His project “Monodramatic†features some models tens of times, with some of the clones so far away from the camera that they can barely be seen in the distance. Takakura says that the project is his exploration of the idea of “self†and the idea of a person meeting many versions of themselves. His title refers to the type of theater in which one actor is featured through the entire production. In this series, Takakura puts the actor in the frame of...

read moreA Post By: Meredith Clark Let me just come right out and say it – I think Pinterest is amazing. Not only is it a wealth of information when it comes to recipes and easy craft projects for my two kids, but it is also an incredible source for both photography instruction and inspiration. As a photographer, I am constantly inspired by the images that I see while browsing the “Photography†category on Pinterest, and I think it can be a really valuable tool in terms of identifying your personal style in photography as well as pushing...

read more“One must have the Vision in their head, before you shoot.” Or not, and respond to formal mechanics as presented in the moment. “Practice, Practice and A lot of Practice.” Yes, do. But, alas, whether a viewer finds what you do compelling (formally, conceptually, etc) will remain a subjective response. Source Article from...
read moreI could not agree more. There is a basic lack of civility one encounters in almost any comments section for any article posted anywhere. People attack the subject of the article, the quality of the work, the writer of the post, the publication, and other commenters. The tone is not so much the expression of a different opinion, but that the other person is stupid, inferior, or incompetent in some way. As you say, “overly critical.” Source Article from...
read moreHere’s a nice dose of inspiration: above is a beautiful 16-minute mini-documentary that looks at the work of Sydney-based street photographer Markus Andersen. Titled “Belly of the Beast,†the profile features Andersen talking about his thought process and love for film photography. “I love creating imagery. It’s the most important thing in the world for me,†he says. “It’s not about being well known or famous. It’s about the more successful you become, the more time you have to shoot.†Here is a selection of...
read moreLeica has created two unique M-series rangefinders based on designs by elementary school kids. One is a Leica M (type 240) covered with a rainbow pattern, and the other is a Leica M-E with a dragon and swordsman drawn onto the front of the camera. The single edition cameras were created for a good cause. It all started when Leica handed out 140 blank white paper cameras to the kids at a primary school in Dortmund, Germany. The kids were asked to “unleash their creativity†on the cameras by drawing designs on them. Those paper...
read morePhotographer Attila Bicskos was diving off the coast of the Philippines last year when he spotted a thresher shark swimming by and snapped a photo. He almost tossed the photo away afterward, but it’s a good thing he didn’t: the photo is now the first recorded image showing a thresher shark giving birth. If you look closely at the tail end of the shark, you can see a baby shark emerging from its mother: Bicskos tells the Huffington Post that he originally trashed the photo because he thought the blob under the shark was a jellyfish...
read moreThere’s a dispute going on over in Texas that shows the importance of getting your contracts right as a photographer. A pair of Dallas newlyweds are going public with their disagreement with wedding photographer Andrea Polito over an album “cover†charge that Polito is asking for — a charge that doesn’t specifically show up in the contract. Local news station NBC 5 reports that the couple had paid Polito $6,000 to shoot their October 2014 wedding, and expected to receive a “40 page 8.5×12 Storybook Album with up to 80...
