Photo Sharing is Big, Big Business: Instagram is Now Reportedly Worth $35 Billion
When Facebook agreed to acquire Instagram for $1 billion in cash and stock back in April 2012, the world balked at the price. Instagram was only a 17-month-old company at the time that had just launched on Android, and there was no income on the horizon. Well, fast forward two years, and Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg looks like a genius for making the deal: Instagram is estimated to be worth $35 billion now. The figure comes from a report released by Citigroup today. Using “conservative assumptions about growth and...

What’s interesting about Thorpe’s images is that, through the years, he has continued to create the scenes using sets and props rather than digital trickery in Photoshop. Here’s a collection of photos that have appeared on his cards over the years: As a bonus, here are some...

read moreGold Standard: Nikon D750 review posted
Very impressive camera indeed! Well done DPR – you’ve earned a few days of rest now 😉 One thing that surprized me is the lack of mention of the lack of a touchscreen (TS). I know many will at this point want to reply that TSs are useless and even call it a plus that the D750 (like all other FF DSLRs?) doesn’t have one, but (1) you can disable them; (2) if well implemented like on the Eos 70D I have, it’s amazing how natural it comes to use them and operate the camera more quickly, esp when shooting on a tripod. Before...

Photographers Chris Limbrick and Francesco Fragomeni both work for the website hosting company Squarespace. During times in which they’re not hard at work, the duo has been shooting a lighthearted photo project called foolsdoart. Each photograph is a recreation of a famous painting with Limbrick and Fragomeni as the subjects and with their office as the stage. “All of the painting remixes are done at the Squarespace office in NYC,†the project says. “The only rules are that all props must be things found in the office and all...

There have been a few film versus digital articles here and there on the interwebs, but seems like very few have approached the subject in a scientific fashion or with the advice of both film and digital experts. However, with the help of Joe Cornish (a landscape photographer who made his living shooting on medium and large format but now shoots Phase One IQ280s), Chris Ireland (who sells Phase One cameras), and myself, Tim Parkin, (I shoot film and run a drum scanning service), a definitive test was born. The first part of the test...

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.
