In this article I want to expand on the topic of personal photography projects: Why do you need one? How do you choose personal projects? What are some of the more popular personal projects around? Why do you need personal photography projects? #1 – Personal projects help you get out of a photography rut Experimenting with film ( 35mm and medium...

The No-Fuss Way to Straighten Your Horizons in Photoshop

A Post By: Alex Morrison No matter what type of photography you create, nothing screams “snapshot” more than an off-kilter horizon. This is especially true for landscape images where sloping horizons, even if just a few degrees off, distract from all your painstaking composition and patience for the right light. Unless your viewers can tell that you’ve shot at an extreme angle on purpose, the horizons in your images need to be horizontal. An off-kilter horizon, not a pretty sight. If you weren’t able to get your horizon straight in...

Fujifilm announces X-A2 with selfie-friendly LCD

Fujifilm has announced the X-A2, a mostly minor update to the X-A1. The X-A2 offers a 175-degree tilting LCD that flips upward for easier self-portrait capture. Like its predecessor the X-A2 provides a 16MP APS-C CMOS Bayer-pattern sensor, unlike its unconventional X-Trans siblings. The X-A2 features a 3″ 920k-dot LCD, Wi-Fi, and Fujifilm’s new Classic Chrome film simulation mode. Shipping with a newly announced XC 16-50mm II F3.5-5.6 OIS lens, the X-A2 will sell for $549.95 starting in February. Press...

Gary Fong launches virtual camera tutorial service

Posted by on 15th, Jan, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

I hope these are better than his video tutorials for the A77II. I paid to view when I first bought my A77II, hoping that they’d help me get to grips with its unusual features. Unfortunately I wasn’t very impressed, as certain features were ignored, and some information was simply wrong. To be fair to Fong, when it comes to features he actually uses himself he’s quite comprehensive and helpful. The problem is that he focuses on his personal preferences, as if they’re inherently the right way to do things, and can be...

Apple Granted Patent for Action Camera, Causing GoPro’s Stock to Tank

Apple is getting into the smart watch business, but there’s another market that may be in the company’s crosshairs: action cameras. Apple was granted a patent for a wearable camera today, and the news caused GoPro’s stock to tumble by around 12%. The patent was filed back in 2012 and is titled, “Digital camera system having remote control.” The document details an action camera system that can be mounted to things like helmets and masks. Among the details included were mentions of weaknesses in GoPro’s line of action...

How to Build a Camera Dolly Out of LEGO Pieces

Photographer Pascal Kulcsar of Mainz, Germany wanted to add some movements to his time-lapse videos, so he built himself a fancy dolly using LEGO pieces. The tiny vehicle has 6 wheels and is powered by a motor that can run for 8 hours of constant movement with regular AA batteries. The 6 wheels placed around the dolly allow it to drive in very small circles, and speed can be controlled by trading cogwheels in and out of the build (it goes from “very slow” to “veeeeerry verry slow”, Kulcsar says). Here’s a quick example of...

Here are Graphs Showing Camera Trends On Flickr Over the Past Two Years

Last week we shared some interesting data about the most popular cameras on Flickr over the course of 2014. Today Flickr released some new charts that offer an inside look at camera trends over the past couple of years. Camera Brands While Canon and Nikon usage hasn’t changed much, Apple and Samsung both grew in their shares (1.9% and 2.1% increases, respectively). Kodak also dropped off the map in 2014, going from 1.5% of total usage to very close to 0. In general, smartphone photography has grown quite a bit in the past couple of...

Nighttime Photos of NYC Captured Out of the Open Door of a Helicopter at 7,500 Feet

Photographer Vincent Laforet captured some stunning nighttime photographs of New York City while leaning out of an open helicopter door 7,500 feet in the air. At that altitude, Laforet was able to look down at air traffic around NYC’s major airports, and there was no extra pane of glass between the photographer and the city. A few thousand feet higher and oxygen masks would have been required. Laforet has been on over 50 aerial adventures over New York City over the past 15 or so years, but this one was “by far the most frightening...

The news company says it will partner with the FAA to “advance efforts” in using camera drones for “news gathering and reporting.” CNN says it’s aiming to go beyond “hobby-grade equipment” and explore what options are available for creating “high quality video...
