LenzBuddy: Custom Lens and Body Caps for Branding and Ease of Use
Lens and camera body caps aren’t usually very informative or personalized, and LenzBuddy wants to change that. The Dallas, Texas-based business sells custom lens caps that help photographers both add branding to their gear and find lenses in their bags more quickly. Founder and photographer Brian Herbert came up with the idea for the business back in the summer of 2012 when he was digging through his camera bag. He was using a permanent market and masking tape to label his equipment, but wondered if there was a better solution. Thus,...

read moreVintage Photo Finds is an Online Collection of Old Pictures Found at Flea Markets
Joel Snow was visiting a flea market in Colorado this past October when he came across a box with several packets of old negatives at the bottom. After digitizing them, Snow realized that it was a fascinating collection of old photos from the early part of the 20th century. Many of the photos appeared to have been taken in Mexico, and some of the shots appear to show soldiers during the 1916 Punitive Expedition to Mexico. Here are some of the photographs discovered in the box: Snow is sharing his find through a new website called...

Back in September of this year, Olympus announced that it would be trying its hand at “lens cameras†with a new “Open Platform†project. The goal is to create a camera module that features a sensor, a lens mount, and wireless pairing with a smartphone. Early illustrations showed a cube-like camera, but Olympus is now showing off a new rounded prototype that looks a lot more like a lens than it does a camera. According to 43 Rumors, which received the photos below from a tipster named Alvin, the gadget was being exhibited at an...

A Post By: Peter West Carey Flickr/Crystian Cruz Barely a day goes by when I don’t see a tweet or Facebook post about yet another photo contest I must enter. “Big prizes! Fame! Exposure! Magazine Cover!†they yell out at me and I’m often tempted for various reasons. On the surface, most contests seem like a good idea given the potential upside. However, there are many aspects to any contest which photographers should consider. Those considerations will depend upon where you are along the photography spectrum, from beginner to advanced...
read moreHow to Use Hard Lighting to Create a Dramatic Portrait
A Post By: Joel Dryer When was the last time you did not primarily light your scene using a large soft source, such as a soft box or umbrella? Large soft sources easily create a beautiful, wrap-around quality of light. Just pop one up and you have instant “good†light. Final image: before and after in Lightroom Though soft light is beautiful and has its place, it represents only one part of the artist’s palette. In this article we are going to dissect the lighting setup for a men’s fashion shoot, and look at how using hard light can...

read moreBPG image format aims to replace JPEGs
There’s no doubt that JPEG is the web’s go-to image format, offering both widespread compatibility and small file sizes, but its compression artifacts and an 8-bit limitation mean it’s far from perfect. Alternative image formats have been developed that provide higher-quality compression, but nothing yet has come close to toppling JPEG thanks to its ubiquity. BPG is the latest new format to challenge it. Created by Fabrice Bellard, a developer responsible for other open-source projects, BPG stands for...
read moreHave your say: Best Lens of 2014
I have bought three lenses in the last year, and just as others are saying the Tamron 150-600, with VR, should have been on this list. It is much better than the Tamron lens that was listed. This lens opened up a category previously reserved for lenses costing over $6000. It is a superb lens, and I was surprised it was so cheap after using it, and marveling over the image quality. It is putting out pro caliber images, attached to my Nikon D7100, that I have no problem selling. By the way, on my D7100 set to 16megs, that puts the lens crop...

My take.. 1) NX1 – cause its first and apparently very good “pro” mirrorless from Samsung, also with some edge in various things, some are future stuff even 2) 645Z – “affordable” Sony based MF camera, could be better, but its very good as it is 3) D810 – cause Nikon finally made what they should do instead D800/e .. proper replacement for D700 too Rest is sometimes interesting, sometimes not at all. Not sure why those votes for D750. Its “cheap” and? And nothing.. Source Article from...

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.
