The project is curated by João Paulo Bernardes, who searches through the Creative Commons archives of NASA and the Airbus Defense and Space. The images are sized for the iPhone 6 Plus, but they should look decent on other phones as well. Here is a sampling of what you’ll find on the site: Aerial Wallpapers (via Colossal) Source Article from...

Video Series Walks Through the Major Photographic Processes Used Throughout History

Back in 2012, the George Eastman House released a series of six videos showing six photo processes used in the history of photography. This month, the museum re-released those six videos alongside six new ones. It’s a video series that now spans 12 videos showing major processes spanning from the Daguerreotype all the way up through digital photography. The discovery of these processes have forever changed our understanding of time. For the first time in history we could see what our ancestors looked like. Take a look behind the...

A Look at How Dynamichrome Infuses Color Into Old Black and White Photos

Colorizing old black and white photographs in Photoshop has become quite a trend over the past few years, and communities of retouchers have sprung up in order to share and compare their work. One particular colorizer named Jordan Lloyd has decided to turn his hobby into a business called Dynamichrome. It specializes “in high fidelity colour reconstruction services in culture, history and entertainment.” Lloyd comes from the world of architecture, which trained his eye and Photoshop skills for the tedious process of eyeballing...

A Casual Review of the Fujifilm X100T

A Casual Review of the Fujifilm X100T

For the last 21 days I have been in Japan putting Fujifilm’s new X100T through its paces. This review will not cover every technical aspect of the X100T, but rather how it feels to shoot with it every day and how it fits in with my workflow. It is also very photo heavy. You can find pictures of the camera itself on any review site, so I’ll mostly only include work that I have produced with this camera. I’ve upgraded from the X100S, so I will also comment on the main differences and whether or not I think it may be worth...

How to Use LAB Color in Photoshop to Remove an Unwanted Color Cast

A Post By: Jim Hamel In a recent article about the LAB colorspace, I covered the basic LAB move to enhance colors. Hopefully that gave you an idea of the power of the LAB colorspace to manipulate color in Photoshop. In this article we are going to build on that a little bit. Whereas in the last article we simply used the basic LAB color move to enhance color, now we will get into color manipulation. Specifically, I will show you how to remove an unwanted color cast from your photos using LAB. In many ways doing this in LAB is simpler and...

Sony World Photography Awards 2015: Standout submissions

Posted by on 15th, Dec, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

The penguin shot isn’t great. You just need the shooting opportunity, and a long lens. The photo posted is an inevitable photo result when you have been given both, and shoot for 15-20 minutes. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but given how crowded that scene appears to be, I view such a shot as being simple to take, and not unique if given the opportunity. I disagree with the air show. The photo itself is excellent because of the position and angle of the planes, which is part foresight, and part luck. Source Article from...

Seattle PI.com showcases its ‘pictures of the year’

Posted by on 15th, Dec, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

InTheMist, the other 3 posters will not be able to “enter” next year, if you read it, the Seattle Pi only has two photographers on staff, Joshua Trujillo and Jordan Stead. So you won’t see anyone else photos next year, as its not a contest. Hence why to me its underwhelming to see an article like this in DPreview, especially since there are so many better online Photo Journalist websites, even major newspapers have better photo blogs then the Seattle PI, one thats popular online is the darkroom.baltimoresun.com who have...

This Just In: Peter Lik’s Record-Breaking Photo Sale May Constitute Torture

(Newswire, December 13th, Las Vegas) — A group of leading photographers, curators, and general taste arbiters has determined that Peter Lik’s sale of a photograph may constitute torture under the Geneva conventions. The photograph in question, an open edition of a mundane Southwestern landscape, sold recently for $6.5 million, the largest figure for a photograph in history. The sale, announced in an artistically unsanctioned press release which circumvented auction houses and was generally agreed upon as “fishy”, was conducted...

This Guy Captured a 100 Clone Selfie in the Cabin of an Airplane

Check out this crazy self-portrait photo by a guy named Timothy LaBranche. It’s a composite image showing LaBranche posing as all 100 passengers in the cabin of a passenger plane. We got in touch with LaBranche, who offers some details on how he created, “100 Tims on a Plane” (you can find a larger version here). First of all, he’s an airline employee who works for JetBlue Airways out of Houston, Texas. The idea for this photo had been brewing in his mind for months, but he didn’t have a plane stay overnight in his station...

The Parrot is a Teleprompter You Attach to the Front of Your Camera Lens

Want to read lines into your camera while maintaining eye-contact with your lens? The Parrot is a new teleprompter system that can help you do just that. It attaches to the front of your DSLR or mirrorless camera, and is uses your smartphone for the text it reflects toward you.

Maha Kumbh Mela: The Largest Peaceful Gathering in the History of the World

In February 2013, Hindus from around the world made a pilgrimage of faith to bathe in the Ganges and Yamuna rivers in India. The event was called Maha Kumbh Mela, a particular festival held once every 144 years, and an estimated 100 million people visited the site over a period of days. It was likely the single largest peaceful gathering of people in the history of the world. Photographer Rufus Blackwell was on hand to shoot photographs and a time-lapse video of the festival. Here’s his award-winning video he created: Blackwell says...
