5 Quick Reasons to Use the Nifty Fifty for Landscape Photography
A Post By: Tim Gilbreath The 50mm prime lens, or as it’s more commonly known, the Nifty Fifty; we all know the name, even inexperienced photographers have likely heard of it. Most of us know it for its outstanding qualities; an inexpensive, quality, prime lens that is in plenty of photographers’ bags around the world, and one of the most popular lenses of all time. What we might NOT think of it as, however, is a lens normally used for landscape photography. The zoom is tight, and doesn’t possess a field of view wide enough to usually be...
read moreA Super Simple Way to Make Landscape Photos POP Using Lightroom
A Post By: Jim Hamel It seems like virtually all outdoor or landscape photographs suffer from the same illness when they come out of the camera. The symptoms are: An overly bright sky Foreground that is too dark A general lack of color and contrast. Sound familiar? Fortunately, there is a cure for this ailment. Actually, as anyone who has worked with post-processing software for any length of time knows, there are a lot of different cures. But I want to show you a super simple way to fix pictures with these problems. I performed these fixes...

Need a bubble level? Really? Nikon Says :-)… “With the D800/D800E, you can always check the LCD monitor or the viewfinder for both the camera’s position in relation to the horizontal plane and its pitch (forward or rear rotation). This can enhance compositional accuracy, particularly when shooting still lifes, landscapes and architecture.” Even my old D600 (sold) has one. Source Article from...

Hippos are huge, but they’re deceptively fast underwater. Photographer Craig Clive Jackson was recently on a photo safari in Botswana when the boat he was sitting in was charged by a gigantic hippopotamus. He caught the whole experience on camera in the video above. Jackson was on a photo safari with Pangolin Photo Safaris in Kasana, Botswana. The tours are on eight-seater boats, and every customer is loaned a Nikon D7000 DSLR and a Sigma 150-500mm lens to shoot with. The group was traveling along the Chobe River on a 3-hour journey...

Samsung is rumored to have a new NX500 mirrorless camera up its sleeve. We now have a better idea of what the camera will look and be like thanks to a newly leaked graphic.

It shows a front view of the camera, a list of specs, and reveals that the camera will be offered in black, brown, and white varieties.

read moreRe: If You Don’t Want Your Photos Stolen, Don’t Post Them on the Internet
“If you don’t want your photos stolen, don’t post them on the Internet.†This is an argument I have heard over and over again, mostly from people who have never had their work borrowed. Which of course is like saying, “I know you were home, but if you didn’t want your belongings stolen, you shouldn’t have left your door unlocked.†I have never been partial to that argument as there is a whole world of opportunity the Internet has to offer. For every negative word or stolen photo due to posting my photos to social media,...

Photographer Levi Bettweiser is the man behind the Rescued Film Project, an effort to find and rescue old and undeveloped rolls of film from the far corners of the world. He recently came across one of his biggest finds so far: 31 undeveloped rolls of film shot by a single soldier during World War II. Bettweiser tells us he found the film rolls in late 2014 at an auction in Ohio. About half the rolls were labeled with various location names (i.e. Boston Harbor, Lucky Strike Beach, LaHavre Harbor). “I know nothing about who shot the...

Photographer Jeffrey Vanhoutte of Brussels, Belgium was recently tasked with shooting a series of photos for a coffee creamer company. They ended up doing a mixed photo/video shoot with a professional acrobatic dancer flinging puffs of white powder into the air while doing dance moves. Vanhoutte used Broncolor flashes to freeze the particles of powder in midair. “The movement that she did and the powder together, we were all amazed that it was perfect from the start,†he says. The model had to be cleaned off after every five to ten...

Canon has released an advisory note informing select PowerShot owners that their cameras might be affected by an issue with poor contact between the battery and battery terminal. If this is present, the user might experience one of a few different problems, including a message telling the user to “charge the battery”. In addition to the charge message, affected users may not be able to turn their camera on at times, or may experience it randomly turning off when in use. Says Canon, this is a rare issue that...

The Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.8 Di III is a superzoom lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It offers a 28-300mm equivalent range and uses a stepper motor for silent autofocus (including during video recording). Because it does not include any form of image stabilization, we used it on an Olympus camera, specifically the OM-D E-M1, which has 5-axis sensor-based IS. All of the following images are out-of-camera JPEGs except where noted. Skip to the very end of the gallery for examples of the various focal lengths, all...
read morePhotographer Captures Rare Pictures of an Upside-Down Iceberg
When you think of icebergs, you probably think of those large white objects you see in movies and pictures. In rare situations, they can also be seen in a different form. When the iceberg gets flipped upside-down, it looks like a giant shiny piece of ice that’s the color of the surrounding water. That’s what photographer Alex Cornell came across last month while sailing through the Drake Passage to Antarctica. After days of staring at ordinary white icebergs, the boat came across an iceberg at Cierva Cove that had just flipped over...

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.
