read moreVanguard Vojo 25 Camera Bag Review
A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson Earlier this year I bought a couple of mirrorless cameras. The camera bodies and lenses are smaller than those of my digital SLR system, so I also needed a new, smaller, camera bag to put them in. The one I chose is the Vanguard Vojo 25. I’m really happy with the purchase so I thought I’d share my experience for those of you in the market for a similar bag. Why I like this camera bag It’s light Shoulder bags soon weigh down on your shoulder no matter how well they are designed. If the bag is heavier than it...
read moreHow to Create Dark Moody Low-Key Portraits with Minimal Gear
A Post By: Nick Fancher To paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson in Jackie Brown, “Grids: when you absolutely, positively got to kill every lumen in the room, accept no substitutes.†Do you have a room or environment that you want to appear black? You don’t even need a black backdrop or the dark cover of night to create a dark, dramatic scene. All you need is a flash, a grid and enough space to allow your subject to be at least 5-10 feet away from any walls. As long as you can keep your strobe light from falling on the ground, background or...

Lighting manufacturer Metz is to introduce a new miniature flash unit that is designed to marry with small cameras, such as premium hotshoe-equipped compacts and compact system bodies. With a maximum guide number of 26m/85ft at ISO 100 the Mecablitz 26 AF-1 is many times more powerful than the flash units that come bundled with, or built-in to, this sort of camera – and indeed many don’t come equipped with a flash at all. Weighing 115g/4oz and measuring 63x85x85mm/2.5×3.34×3.34 in, Metz intends this model to...

read moreCreate Trippy Star Trail Effects in Time-Lapses Using a Motorized Zoom System
Here’s a neat video that shows what you get in a star trails time-lapse if you slowly move your lens’ zoom ring over the course of the long exposures. Long exposures naturally create star trails around Earth’s axis of rotation, but throw in some motorized zooms and you can turn those ordinary trails into some pretty trippy effects. This particular project used the ZenFocus motorized follow-focus/zoom system, which helps you program movements to your focus or zoom ring using a belt that’s compatible with any lens. Here’s what...

Want to see the photographs that made the biggest splash on Flickr over the course of 2014? Flickr’s website doesn’t have a leaderboard — the best you can do is explore popular photos — but luckily for us, the company has just announced the top 25. Of the hundreds of millions of photographs you’ll find on Flickr, these 25 photographs were found to be the “top†images based on a number of “engagement and community†factors, including how many times they’ve been viewed and added as a favorite image.

The Canon 5D Mark III was first announced back in March 2012, so it should be due for a replacement soon.

Two of them will reportedly carry the name “EOS 5Ds†and feature 53 megapixel sensors —...

Thieves are reportedly using the iPod Nano as a spy camera for stealing PIN numbers from people using ATM machines. The device is small enough to remain relatively hidden and packs a camera that’s good enough to spy on the keypad of ATMs as unsuspecting people punch in their PIN numbers. The warning comes from the Greater Manchester Police Department over in the UK, which posted a number of photographs on its Twitter account showing one example of an iPod Nano being used in this way. Here’s what the ATM looked like. Unless you look...

read more5 Tips to Cut Your Portrait Editing Time in Half
A Post By: Lynsey Mattingly Editing is the bottleneck part of the workflow for many portrait photographers. We can shoot a great picture in mere seconds, but when it comes to editing dozens of images, it often feels like it takes forever. The biggest editing time saver is of course to get it right when shooting. There are countless things that can’t be “fixed†in Photoshop, but editing images isn’t meant to be the main part of a photographer’s job anyway. I am always hesitant to talk about editing because I think it gets taken way...

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.
