Restaurant Menu Food Photography Using Natural Light

A Post By: Suzi Pratt There are many ways to approach food and drink photography, from big budget shoots with food stylists and complicated lighting setups, to low budget natural lighting setups. For a formal restaurant photo shoot, which setup would you choose? I’ve had successes doing both types of photo shoots, but in this particular example, I’ll show you super low budget ways to pull off professional, tasty-looking food photos appropriate for a menu. Client Brief Based in Seattle, this client is an American restaurant going in a new...

Tips for Retouching a Night Photograph using Lightroom

A Post By: Serge Ramelli I will show you an experience I had of shooting in the middle of the night after sunset without a tripod. Many monuments don’t allow you to shoot with a tripod but you still want to take a photo. The nicer light in my opinion is usually after sunset or before sunrise, so I will show you how to take and process a photo without a tripod at night. If you have a nice high vantage point to take a beautiful photo but cannot put down your tripod you will see that there is something we can do about it. The trick is you...

This DIY ‘Patina’ Leica M2 Was Turned Green Like the Statue of Liberty

Did you know that the Statue of Liberty started out as a dull copper color, but turned green over time due to oxidation occurring on the copper skin? The green patina (also called verdigris) can occur naturally or with human intervention on copper, brass, and bronze. Know what else is brass? The body of the Leica M2 underneath the chrome surface. Photographer Bellamy Hunt used this fact to create a custom DIY special edition of the M2, the “Patina Edition.” Did you know the Statue of Liberty was once a dull copper color? Hunt, who...

In it, photographer Craig Semetko discusses the basics of rangefinder photography — in this case he’s using a Leica M — and its advantages compared to SLRs. (H/T Leica Rumors) Source Article from...

Megatron is Not a Fan of Selfies

Posted by on 21st, Dec, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Universal Studios in Hollywood recently offered guests a photo op with a performer dressed very impressively as Megatron, one of the main baddies in Transformers. It turns out Megatron is not a fan of selfies. When Alexandra Trew walked up and tried to snap one, she ended up capturing this video of the villain ranting about selfies and arguing how people need to learn to live in the moment. Here are the strangely eloquent words spoken by the giant robot: You will not receive a selfie so long as you stand before me with your ridiculous...

How to Make a Coffee Cup Spy Camera That Snaps a Shot When You Take a Swig

Here’s an interesting weekend photography project of moderate technical difficulty: the video above is a tutorial on how you can make a DIY coffee cup spy camera. The camera sees out of the cup’s base and has a shutter that’s triggered whenever you lift the cup and pretend to drink from it. The build comes courtesy of tinkerer Steve Hobley over at Make. It’ll require an Arduino Uno Rev 3 microcontroller board, a JPEG camera module, an SD card shield, a Memsic 2125 accelerometer, and a few various small components (e.g....

How to Harness Your Fear to Become a More Confident Street Photographer

How to Harness Your Fear to Become a More Confident Street Photographer

Street photography is one of the most difficult forms of photography out there. Not only do you have to rapidly compose, frame, and approach strangers, but you have to do so with the risk of “injury.” They might injure you verbally (threaten to break your camera, give you a dirty look and call you a creep, or curse at you) or they might injure you physically (try to grab your camera, hit you, shove you, etc). Of course these fears are legitimate fears. After all, we are in a society in which taking a photograph of a stranger...

Writer’s Favorite Lens – The Canon 24-105mm f/4

A Post By: Jim Hamel I like shooting all manner of outdoor scenes. I am a sucker for landscapes and seascapes, which almost always require a wide-angle lens. I really enjoy exploring new cities with my camera, which also requires a wide-angle lens but can also be helped by a little zoom to capture details. And, of course, I like taking pictures of my family while we are out, which requires portrait focal lengths. My favorite lens, the Canon 24-105mm f/4 does all these things, and does them remarkably well. A wide angle allows you to get right...

National Geographic Photo Contest 2014 winners announced

Posted by on 21st, Dec, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

#1 is something that I’d LOVE if I had taken it. However, for a National Geographic photography winner, it’s boring. The theme itself — technology taking over our lives — is boring, and since the photo can’t survive on other attributes such as beauty or skill (e.g. the owl photo), I wonder why it wins? Again, it’s a good capture, and I’d love the photo if I had taken it myself. I do expect more from contest winners though. I’m not that great a photographer, and even I wouldn’t have felt...

Brooklyn Street Photographer Andre D. Wagner Talks Us Through His Photographic Process

Posted by on 20th, Dec, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Here’s a short, inspiring video profile of Brooklyn-based street photographer Andre D. Wagner. We’re offered a glimpse into Wagner’s mind as he talks about his process for creating images, from how he approaches photographing people on sidewalks with a Leica 35mm film rangefinder to his love of making photos with his hands in his darkroom. On his website, Wagner writes that his “love and true desire to capture his subject using traditional film is not solely based on the tangible textures and grains that’s visible in the...

A Brief Comparison of Canon 400mm Lenses, Mark I Against Mark II

A Brief Comparison of Canon 400mm Lenses, Mark I Against Mark II

Canon shooters have a bit of 400mm excitement right now. The biggest news, of course, is the release of the 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS II lens, replacing the original version that’s had a very long, successful run. Not quite so much excitement was generated by the release of the 400mm f/4 DO IS II lens. It too replaces a long running lens, but one that has been considered more of a niche lens. (I’ll admit, though, it’s been one of my favorite niches. I used the 400mm DO a lot over the years.) Most surprisingly, neither lens was...
