The World’s Largest and Most Powerful Camera Gets Funding for 3.2-Gigapixel Sky Photos
The world’s largest camera is now one step closer to becoming a reality. The 3.2-gigapixel camera being built for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) in Chile has secured the funding it needs to ensure it will go into operation according to schedule. We first reported on the camera back in 2011 when the project received a green light from the US government to move forward. The latest green light has to do with the project’s funding. “This important decision endorses the camera fabrication budget that we proposed,†said...
read moreThe First Leaked Photos of the Olympus E-M5II
The first leaked photos have emerged showing the upcoming Olympus E-M5II. The camera is a followup to the popular Olympus E-M5, a camera announced back in 2012 that shook up the camera world with its retro styling. The leaked photos first appeared over at Digicam-info and show that Olympus is sticking with a very similar design in the new camera. Here’s a look at what the original looks like: It looks like Olympus is making the camera sleeker and even more “retro†by using chrome dials, wheels, and buttons instead of black ones....

Ten years ago, on January 14, 2005, NASA landed its Huygens probe onto the surface of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. To commemorate the event, NASA released the above video that takes us on a 1,000,000,000x journey from a zoomed out photo of Saturn and the moon and into the closest photos captured by Huygens. The wide view photos were captured by the Cassini orbiter using its 1-megapixel onboard camera: As the view zooms in, we move onto photographs captured by the Huygen’s probe during its 21-day journey, 2.5-hour descent, and...

read moreTelling a Story in a Single Image – Tips from a Photojournalist
A Post By: Felipe Passolas Photography is visual communication medium. You can follow and use some rules, through composition and technique – but photojournalism takes it a step farther and states facts and gives information that is true and real. You need to follow two basic pillars to be an ethical photojournalist. Those principles are: you do not manipulate your scene, and the information you are photographing must be real. The best recipe you can use for getting a good photo that tells a story is by combining good composition, action,...
read moreInitial impressions of the Nikon D750
A Post By: Sarah Hipwell Nikon D750 When Nikon made their announcement just prior to Photokina in September of this year (2014) Â that they were launching the D750, my interest piqued, especially as the specs on paper were ticking all my requirement boxes. The price looked good too! I have had the Nikon D750 a little over two months now, but have yet to put this camera through any serious testing. Over the following months, I will give this camera a thorough workout. In the meantime, this article will outline my first impressions and why I...
read moreOlympus Stylus 1 firmware update adds wide angle converter compatibility and interval shooting
Olympus has released v2.0 firmware for its OM-D styled premium compact camera, the Stylus 1, which will enable users to fit a wide angle converter to the lens. Using the new CLA-14 adapter the camera will now operate with the 0.8x WCON-08X wide angle converter to take the widest setting from 28mm equiv. to 22.4mm while maintaining the f/2.8 maximum aperture. This, combined with the CLA-13 adapter and the 1.7x TCON-17X tele-converter, gives the Stylus 1 a potential focal range of 22.4-510mm equiv. from its 28-300mm equiv....

So for the price of an entry level dSLR lens kit, you can get this very fine looking camera, with a compact body, flip-out LCD, and two control dials while giving up nothing on the image quality side. No viewfinder? For a lot of people: no problem, apparently. I’ve seen a lot of X-A1 and M1 out and about recently. Source Article from...
read moreNikon USA addresses disappearance of D750 from retailers
@String – While my research did not lead to the quote you attributed to Thom (Hogan, I assume) I will take your word for it. However, since I did not experience the “alleged flare” issue, and not all users reported, nor perhaps 50% of users reported the Flare issue, why would Nikon do a knee-jerk reaction? It seems to me that Nikon perhaps gathered then analyzed the data and acted accordingly. Since I do NOT own a D750, I don’t know what steps Nikon took WITH those who bought and registered D750. As a Nikon owner since...

You can now browse through the 8,000 or so items held by the museum — some of which had never before seen the light of day. The digital initiative is a comprehensive effort to...

You don’t even need any kind of Internet connection for it to...

Here’s a strange (and time-consuming) way you can test your Photoshop prowess if you ever have some time to kill: turn a dimpled golf ball into a smooth ping pong ball using only the dodge and burn tools. Photographer Stefan Kohler came up with the challenge one day when talking about the power of dodging and burning in retouching blemishes. He then tried his own hand at it, and spent over three hours dodging and burning a golf ball. “After about 10 minutes I realized: This is not going to be easy,†he says. Here’s what the...

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.
