Blackout Time-Lapse: This is What the London Skyline Would Look Like if You Could See the Milky Way
UK-based photographer Nicholas Buer wanted to see what the view over London would look like if the city skies were void of the light pollution that illuminates the streets long after the sun has set. Camera gear ready and with a plan of attack, he got to it, cleverly piecing together Blackout City, an awe-inspiring time-lapse that shows what the skyline of London would look like if there were ever a complete blackout and you could see the milky way. Buer started this project back in August of 2013. Since then, he’s been slowly...

Casio has officially unveiled its latest point-and-shoot camera. Its official name is the Exilim MR1, but to the general public, it’s more likely to go by its street name, the ‘Kawaii Selfie by Mirror Cam.’ As the name suggests, this camera is designed with one thing in mind: selfies. The 14-megapixel camera features a rather unusual form factor, as there is no visible lens element. Instead of being out there for the world to see, the unusually slow f/5 lens is hidden behind a two-way mirror of sorts that allows users to more...
read moreGrowth: Comparing Photography 2 Years Apart
I was immune, I thought. Having been looking at Photoshop tutorials for over a year, I thought I knew all the tools needed to make a photo “popâ€. I had also been reading up on a bunch of photography theory so I thought I knew the dangers of over-editing. Resolving myself to not boost contrast +100 or saturation +100 or tonemapping the sh** outta my pictures, I still managed to end up with this eye manure that I had decided to give a 4 star to in LR. I was the perfect example of all theory and no practice. Quick side note on my...

Biomedical researchers at the University of Washington have created what they claim to be the world’s fastest 2D ‘receive-only’ camera. Just how fast exactly? Up to 100 billion frames per second with the help of a technological process called Compressed Ultrafast Photography. This allows the scientists to SEE laser light moving… actually watch it move… think about that for a second (or 100 billion frames). As they currently stand, receive-only cameras are capable of capturing roughly 10 million frames per second, limited due...
read moreThe Photographer’s Sandbag Has Evolved… and Become the Donut-Like WaterWeight
When you’re shooting on-location, you often want to pack as light as possible to minimize the physical effort needed to set things up. Just one problem: you’re probably going to need to carry around big, cumbersome sandbags in order to hold down all that ultra-light gear you packed. Here to change the game is WaterWeight, a creative reinvention of the sandbag by the folks at Inspired Photo Gear. Small, portable and versatile, these little beasts ensure that your lights will be staying right where you need them without weighing you...

A Post By: Lynsey Mattingly Writing for dPS has afforded me several opportunities, the best one being getting to converse with photographers – hobbyists to professionals and everything in between – from all over the world. Each time an article I write is published, I get the loveliest emails and comments, and I do my very best to respond to each of them. The question I get most often is one I ask other photographers all the time: How do you make your pictures look like……..that? The question may be worded differently, but ultimately...

Rumors are swirling about a possible replacement to Olympus’ venerable OM-D E-M5 (pictured above). Rumors are circulating about a possible successor to the Olympus OM-D E-M5.

This follows a rumor from November that Olympus has stopped production of the E-M5 model....

No @ulfie, your remark is not just an opinion, it’s a misinformed statement. You said: “[The picture] is smeary-noisy as heck for ISO 640 full-frame no less! At this ISO full-frame should be crisp and sharp.” And I’m telling you you can’t say ‘for an ISO 640 shot’. The definition of ISO is not as straightforward when you add post-processing to the mix. If you lift tones 3 stops, you can’t just say that that’s how the camera performs at ISO 640. At that point, you have to add 3 EV to the...

Casio has taken the selfie camera a logical step forward with a new design. The Casio Exilim EX-MR1 uses a lens behind a large mirror so that shooters can check their appearance as they take a picture. The camera, which the company seems to be targeting at women, is a 14MP compact camera with an extra wide angle 4x zoom that starts at 21mm equivalent - a focal length Casio says is optimal for taking self-portraits. Not only can users check their lipstick in the camera’s mirror before the picture is taken,...

The life of a taxi driver can be a strange one… to put it mildly.

From drunk pregnant women running away without paying, to illicit drug offers instead of payment, Harvey has seen the full array of eclectic personalities South Wales has to offer. At some point, Harvey decided to pick up a DSLR and capture his short-term travel companions. And now that he’s since given up the life of a taxi driver,...

Together, they created an impressive device that surrounded President Barrack Obama and captured every intricate detail of his head using 50 LED lights,...

New York-based photographer Josh Owens spent over a month a few years back bringing New York City to life in the time-lapse above called Manhattan in Motion. Using three cameras, a motion dolly, a special intervalometer and a lot of planning, he was able to capture the always-changing cityscape in an engaging and fresh light that few time-lapses have been able to match, much less beat. By securing prime locations across the rooftops of twelve NYC hotels, Owens complied some of the most beautiful vantage points you’ll find in a NYC...

This September, Airbus took to the skies to capture photos of five of its massive test and development A350–900s. The photo shoot was meant to celebrate the certification of the company’s latest twin-engine, wide-body jetliner. It was also probably one of the most expensive photo shoots we’ve ever come across. At a cool $300 million for each of the five A350–900s, the cost of the subjects alone totals $1.5 billion dollars. Initial capital aside though, the cost to actually perform the shoot is equally nauseating for us plebs....

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.
