Photo Shoot with a 15-Year-Old Elk Hunter Challenges Photographer’s Views On Hunting

Recently, after a decade as a successful wedding photographer and another decade as a professional snowboarder, photographer Hillary Maybery decided to switch it up a bit and start shooting more commercial lifestyle and fashion work. But her favorite type of work is personal work. And it’s her personal desire for continued growth and variety that led her to challenge her own pre-conceptions and create an interesting photo series that follows a 15-year-old girl who loves to elk hunt. The idea came to Maybery while browsing Facebook...

DSLR versus Mirrorless: Guide to help you decide which is right for you?

A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth Recently there has been a great deal of buzz in the photographic community regarding a few terms that might sound a little odd or strange, like “mirrorless” or “micro four thirds.” These refer to different types of cameras that might not be as popular as standard DSLR models right now, but many think are the future of photography. However, just understanding what everything means can be an exercise in frustration, especially when all you likely want to do is buy a camera you can enjoy using. By Nadir Hashmi...

All-in-one: Ona Capri bag review

Ona Capri www.onabags.com $349 /£313 We’ve heard the refrain ‘the best camera is the one you have with you.’ It’s implied here that you don’t have a proper camera with you, and are using your smartphone to take pictures. Quality suffers, but hey, at least you got a picture rather than none at all.  The underlying assumption is that you’re not carrying a proper camera because it’s a pain. And in lots of situations, it is. Cameras require care, and bags with nice little padded...

Polaroid’s Instagram Logo Look-a-Like Camera, the Socialmatic, Gets an Official Release Date

After three years of teasing and a handful of tentative release dates that have come and gone, the Polaroid Socialmatic instant printing digital camera officially has a release date.

Similar in almost every regard to the concept first shown off years ago, the specs are slightly different, fortunately for the better. The final specs for the camera include a 14-megapixel...

New Report Shows Solid State Drives Can Take Over 1,000 Years of Data-Writing Abuse

Media storage has come a long way since the days of the room-sized 3.75MB hard disk drives (HDDs) you had to carry around with a fork lift. Most recently, solid state drives (SSDs) have taken over, providing a much more durable means of storing your media, since there are no moving parts inside. But just how durable are we talking here? It turns out, very. The Tech Report recently put six different drives through the wringer, and it’s been concluded that today’s SSDs will last a thousand years of use — long enough to last until...

We have seen a number of smartphone-controlled camera trigger devices enter the market in the last three years or so and it seems we will soon have another, very feature-rich, option if the CamsFormer Kickstarter campaign is successful. Given it has already reached almost 75% of its $7000 funding goal at 57 days to go we can assume it will be. CamsFormer plugs into the USB and cable release port of your camera or flash and is controlled wirelessly from a smartphone and tablet. It can trigger up to two cameras and two flashes using...
