Canon to move camera production back to Japan

Posted by on 13th, Jan, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

@eddaweaver: it wouldn’t take much to fix the anti-Japanese fervour. Follow the example set by the Germans: let your population, and the world, know the worst of what you’ve done. Take the worst input to heart. Put it in textbooks. Make sure your population are fed documentary, to public forum, TV, that explores foreign opinion on what you have done. Japan still enshrines the deeds of class-a war criminals. They claim it a national right/rite. It incites anti-Japanese fervour by constantly demeaning China and Korea, by erasing...

Wild Things: Marsel van Oosten’s landscape and wildlife photography

Posted by on 13th, Jan, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

@Marsel – of all the shapes in the world and the universe, CIRCLE is my fovorite. So SIMPLE, yet complete. Of all of Leonardo DaVinci’s painting, Vitruvian Man embodies the simplicity of Math. My comment about the GEARS is not directed at you, rather, at the author of the article. To me, all the gears you used is irrelevant. to me, it detracts from the THEME of what you try to project . . . SIMPLICITY. To me, the Best Puzzle I came across is ErnÅ‘ Rubik’s Cube. So SIMPLE and yet so challenging. I am a very strong proponent...

Tintype Portraits of Silver Miners Created Using Silver They Mined

Here’s a creative (and super meta) idea for a photo project: photographer Sean Hawkey traveled to a silver mine in Peru and shot tintype portraits of the miners there using the silver they mined as his emulsion. Interested in the history of photography and the art of wet plate collodion portraits, Hawkey brought crates of camera gear and tens of pounds of tintype plates to the Sotrami mine in Santa Filomena, Ayachucho, Peru. After setting up a makeshift studio at the mine, Hawkey created the emulsion he needed using silver nitrate...

Help: I Am Being Sued for Nearly $500,000 by a Model I Photographed

Posted by on 12th, Jan, 2015 in Blog | 0 comments

Hello fellow photographers. My name is Joshua Resnick. I am a stock photographer, but what I am going to tell you potentially affects all photographers. I wanted to bring to your attention a lawsuit I am involved in that I think could put the whole industry at risk if things don’t go well. I am being sued in federal court for hundreds of thousands of dollars by a model I worked with in January 2013. This is a model that I paid, and who signed a release allowing me to sell her images through stock photo agencies. Why I am I being...

This is a True Color Photo of Saturn and its Moon

The image above may seem like some kind of artist rendering, but it’s an actual true color photograph showing Saturn, its rings, and one of its moons. Click here for a full-resolution version of the photo. The photograph was captured by the Cassini space probe that NASA sent to Saturn. After launching in 1997, the probe arrived at Saturn in 2004.

Is Your Tripod Sturdy Enough? Let’s Test it

A Post By: Bruce Wunderlich If you are looking to take long exposure shots like this 10 second night image of downtown Marietta, Ohio, you’ll need a quality tripod to give your camera a stable base. One of the most important pieces of equipment for a photographer to have access to is a sturdy tripod. You might be tempted to purchase just any tripod without regard to whether or not it is up to the job you are asking it to do, but a strong and stable tripod can be the difference between a great image and a blurry one. Warning:...

How a Step Ladder is Useful for your Photography

A Post By: Sarah Hipwell The invaluable photography assistant Normally assistants play a key role on commercial shoots. They are integral to the team effort that is required to ensure a photo shoot goes as planned. They do a lot of the donkey work; moving lighting gear from one position to another; lugging camera gear around in general, and much more. The work of an assistant is unglamorous, tedious, and the hours are long. Assistants salaries will vary according to their level of skill, experience and employer, and they generally work...
