LiveBlend Lets You Capture Double Exposure Photos on Your Phone with a Real Time View
Photographer Eric Kunz has created a new iPhone app that makes it easy to create high-quality double exposure photographs using your phone. It’s called LiveBlend, and Kunz claims that it’s the only app currently in the App Store that does double exposure blending in real time. The minimalist app allows you to use your own photographs as the “base†image (Kunz has also provided a free set of images you can download). A high contrast silhouette is probably what works best. Once the base image is selected, the camera’s live view...

Nice summary. Thank you. Keep doing the videos and the readers’ showcases. Biggest personal highlight (or perhaps realization) was when I picked up a Fuji X-T1 and an Apha 7 at B&H and hefted them in comparison to a Canon 5D Mark III. 2015 will be the year mirrorless makes a big dent in the market for big DSLRS. But Barney, that’s an old joke in Slide 13: “Oh, Photokina… warm sausage, cold potato salad and beer that tastes like someone drank it once already,” attributed to Damien Demolder in 2008. I heard it...

You’re right, I don’t use a tripod for these images, but it’s not as challenging as it might seem. I need to rotate the camera around the subject to find the correct lighting angle with the ring flash, and this would be a very tricky maneuver if a tripod was in use. You’ve got to work quickly, as a snowflake will begin melting or sublimating even before it hits the ground – the best results are always achieved by the fastest methods. I hold the edge of the ring flash with my left hand, and rest that same hand on...

Photography enthusiast Steffen Ross works a radiologist in Switzerland who operates a CT and MRI scanner for autopsies. When he’s not using the machine to look into dead bodies, Ross has been placing camera equipment in scanner to peer inside them. Here’s the CT scanning system used by Ross in his lab: The system scans each piece of camera gear 500-1500 times with slices between 0.4 and 0.6 millimeters thick. 3D Reconstructions One of the neat things about CT scans — compared to simple X-Rays, which we’ve featured in the past...

Looking back at this year, I was fortunate enough to photograph a lot of cool things and meet a lot of great people. It’s only right that I write about my biggest shoot this year — well actually, the biggest shoot of my career to date. I’ll start off by saying that everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong. One of my favorite quotes of all time is by Mike Tyson: “Everyone has a game plan until they get punched in the face.†I find that to be so true, not just in boxing but in life. No matter how much you plan for...

Brazilian sports photographer Marcelo Maragni likes to do experimental photography in addition to his “ordinary†sports photography. Earlier this year, he decided that he wanted to try to capture action shots at night with ultraviolet flashes and colorful paint. Broncolor sells a UV attachment for its flash systems, but that one costs over $1,500. Maragni decided to go a DIY route instead, and created a homemade alternative by slicing up black light bulbs and using the glass as a filter for his normal studio flashes. He then...
read moredubble is a Social Photo App That Lets You Create Double Exposure Photos with Others
In the world of analog photography, “film swapping†is an activity in which two photographers each shoot through the same roll of film, creating random — and often beautiful — double exposure photographs in each frame. dubble is an app that wants to bring that same experience to the world of digital photography. It allows people from around the world to create random double exposure photos with each other. In the first 6 months after being launched in 2013, the service saw more than 1.2 million dubbles created from people...

The CASE Remote is a new wireless camera controller that attaches to your DSLR and turns your smartphone or tablet into a wireless remote you can use to control your camera. The device was created by a Chinese startup called Cheering Tech, which managed to raise $38,934 on Indiegogo for a first version of the device (simply called CASE) earlier this year. With the success of that campaign, they decided to take preorders for a second version of the device (now called the CASE Remote), and raised another $39,989 through Indiegogo. CASE...

read moreThis Time-Lapse Reveals the Insane Amount of Work That Goes Into Stop Motion Animation
Want to know how much work goes into an old fashioned stop motion animation movie? The short clip above will show you. It’s a short extra scene that appeared during the end credits of the 2014 film “The Boxtrolls.†The shot starts out looking like a normal scene from the film. However, the camera starts zooming out, turning the clip into a creative behind-the-scenes time-lapse that shows how it was made. The wider perspective allows us to see the tabletop set and the ghostly figure of the animator — a guy who tediously makes...

Photographer Dario Morelli is a computer aided designer and programmer by trade. Several years ago, during a period of unemployment, he began diving deeply into the world of custom-made scanner cameras. There’s an entire niche of photographers who are interested in the idea of turning flatbed scanners into digital cameras. What you see is the result of one of Morelli’s experiments. It’s a medium format camera created by stuffing parts from an Epson scanner into a custom enclosure. Here’s what the camera looks like now after a...

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.
