The Bob Ross of Bug Photography Returns with a Solid Overview of the Macro Workflow
Two years ago we dubbed photographer Thomas Shahan ‘the Bob Ross of bug photography.’ Today, we’re back with a video from the macro master in which he dives into his workflow in the field, dropping bits and pieces of useful knowledge as he goes through a daily shoot. The video begins with a bit of a preface as to what he’ll be doing, after which Shahan dives into his workflow, explaining the techniques and approaches he uses to capture the fantastic up close and personal portraits of insects that he does. In addition to showing...
read moreComparing Modern Day Flash Technology with Old School Magnesium Flash Powder
Long before high-sync speedlights were ever a thing, there was a bleeding-edge technology that forever changed the way people photographed subjects. It was called magnesium flash powder. We’ve seen it in old noir and western films, but today we have for you a video that brings it into the modern era, pitting the age-old technology against a standard electronic flash to see how they compare. The eight minute video was dug up by our friends at The Phoblographer, and it highlights the basic principles of flash powder, followed by a...
read moreMusician Ryan Adams Stops Show to Yell at Fan Whose Flash Triggers His Ménière’s Disease
Editor’s note: This video contains NSFW language It’s easy to assume that the whole ‘no flash photography’ rule at concerts is ignorable, but as the clip above shows, not only can it distract the performer, in some rare cases it might actually be a health hazard. Musician Ryan Adams has something called Ménière’s disease (aka. endolymphatic hydrops), an inner ear disorder that can lead to episodes of vertigo. For Adams, his symptoms are triggered by flashing lights, and so when the fan in the front row wouldn’t turn off...
read moreThis is What Adobe’s Cloud-Based Version of Photoshop Looks (and Works) Like
Two months ago, we told you that Adobe and Google were hard at work bringing Photoshop to the browser. Essentially, this version would run off of a server, allowing you to use as weak of a machine as you like, since the program isn’t relying at all on your computer’s processing power. Up till now, that’s really all we knew, but after two months of testing Adobe has pulled back the veil and given us a sneak peek at what ‘Streaming Photoshop‘ — as the program is called — actually looks like. The long and short of it is...

read moreWeekly Photography Challenge Bird’s Eye View
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Earlier I shared a collection of photos shot from above using a bird’s eye view. In the photography challenge last week you were assigned to photograph from a worm’s eye view or low down. This week you will be looking down, using the bird’s eye view to create your images. Bird’s eye view Bird’s are usually flying overhead or sitting up high on a wire looking down on us. So try something to get that kind of perspective in your image this week. Get up high and look down. That could mean: Climb to a...

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Last week I rounded up a bunch of worm’s eye view images so this week we’re going the other way and taking the high road with bird’s eye view photos. Angle of view and perspective use is a great way to make more interesting images. As you might suspect bird’s eye view photos are taken from above, look down on the subject. That could mean standing on a chair, climbing a ladder, shooting from a rooftop or even a mountain top. Enjoy these bird’s eye view photos and allow them to inspire you: Conical...

read moreThis Small, Portable Flash Cube Can Pump Out 1,500 Lumens of Light for Your GoPro or Smartphone
One of the biggest weaknesses of mobile cameras is shooting in low-light. The sensor can’t usually handle it very well, and the built-in light sources are usually… well… crap. Here to help with that is Lume Cube, a product currently being funded on Kickstarter that hopes to quite literally light up your smartphone and GoPro imagery. The Lume Cube is a small, pocketable LED light source that can pump out a whopping 1500 lumens worth of light, all of which can be precisely controlled via a dedicated smartphone app. Even better than...

In it, she turns the camera on herself and her family, portray a handful of family life scenes that she has meticulously crafted.

read moreVideo: How to Properly Fine Tune Autofocus on Your DSLR Through Micro-Adjustments
One pesky issue you may have run into with your DSLR is front-focusing or back-focusing, a problem that, in the past, required that you send your camera into a service center along with any troublesome lenses. Thankfully, that’s not the case anymore. This problem can now be fixed with the help of microfiches adjustments, which almost all DSLRs have built into them now. And here to show us how to properly do just that is John Greengo in the above CreativeLive tutorial. In the video, Greengo lays out what the problem of front-focusing...

Is it really “crashing†a photo shoot when the person doing the crashing is more than welcome to stick around as much as they like? We’re not sure, but that was certainly the case in Nashville about a week ago when photographer Sarah Bailey had a Christmas family shoot hijacked by a very welcome guest. Pop star Taylor Swift was jogging in Percy Warner park when she spotted the family and decided to drop in. As you might imagine, the young girl of the family was a huge fan, and beyond just talking to her, Swift also posed for a...

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.
