These Are the Photographs That Took My Freedom, and This is the Story of How It Happened
My name is Abe Van Dyke. I am a photojournalist who was arrested by the Milwaukee County Sheriffs department for being on Interstate 43 photographing protestors on 12/19/14 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is my story. Friday started as any other day. I woke up and checked Facebook like anyone else and saw on the Coalition For Justice page that another event would be taking place. I decided that once again I would go photograph the event and headed into Milwaukee, WI that afternoon. As usual I found myself rushed driving into the city...

read moreUsing Graduated Neutral Density filters for Landscape Photography
A Post By: Barry J Brady You can see the effect a graduated neutral density filter has on the scene One of the biggest challenges in photography is managing the light in your scene. It is for this reason that many landscape photographers love to be out shooting during the golden hours or blue hour when the light is beautiful and the contrast is manageable. Contrast is tough to manage on bright days and in certain scenes, but there are a few ways to work around this. In this article we are going to look at the usefulness of using neutral...
read moreHow to Learn Your Camera’s Light Meter and Master Manual Mode
A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth Most cameras have a few different shooting modes such as Automatic, Aperture Priority (A or Av), Shutter Priority (S or Tv), and Program. It’s not uncommon for people to take a majority of their photos in Automatic mode since it generally does a good job of getting decent results, though more advanced photographers will often use Aperture or Shutter Priority. Shooting in Manual, however, might seem intimidating and highly complex but once you understand a few basics it starts to make a lot more sense. Certainly...

read moreStudio update: Cameras added to our comparison tool that you may have missed
That would involve an adaptor, introducing a whole second set of mount tolerances/variance, which would give only the native mount lens the advantage. We are trying to give every camera a fair fight here. Also, a camera is only as good as the lens in front of it. When we use lenses from a cameras native system, it potentially shows what a customer is going to get out of that total package. With sensors getting as high resolution as they are, we definitely need to consider updating some of our glass, and are working on that now. Source Article...

read moreLens Technologies: Fluorine vs. Fluorite
There are two lens terms that have similar sounding (and potentially confusing) names: fluorine and fluorite. Apparently quite a few people have trouble distinguishing between the two, so here’s a quick look at what they each are. Fluorine Coating When lens companies talk about fluorine, they’re talking about a special coating based on the element fluorine that’s applied to the surface of your lens glass that helps to repel things like dust, water, grease, and dirt. Here’s a short demonstration video by Nikon that was shared...

Here’s a video showing what happened: So it seems that people drop their...
