Lightswitch: A Filter Holder That Makes it Even Easier to Reduce Up to 30 Stops of Light

Photographer Jason Miney wants to make it easier to use neutral density (ND) filters for your photographs. His upcoming product Lightswitch is a filter holder system that aims to do just that. Lightswitch features a unibody construction and is designed to quickly slip onto and off of your camera lenses without the need for any extra pieces or tools. Each of the holders can handle filters of three different sizes, and can help reduce light up to 30 stops. As explained in the five minute introduction video above, the Lightswitch is...

Tip: Two Strips of Velcro Can Make for a Super Simple Accessory Holder for Your Strap

If you’re a fan of thrifty DIY substitutes for camera accessories, here’s a quick and easy one for you: you can easily carry spare batteries (and other items and accessories) on your camera or bag strap using two strips of Velcro. More accurately, you’ll need a roughly 2-inch wide section of Velcro, with one hook strip and one loop strip. These step-by-step photos by Instructables member hagay1974 show how it’s done. The loop strip is used to secure the battery and hook strip to the strap, and the hook strip is used to keep the...

BTS: Creating a Sports Action Shot Using 3D Printed Figurines

Photographer Dan Vojtěch teamed up with Red Bull wakeskater Zuzana Vráblová for a unique and technologically challenging photo shoot. Vojtěch and his team utilized 3D scanning technology, 3D printing, and studio photography to create some eye-catching images. The first step was to use a complicated DSLR rig to ‘scan’ the model with 115 separate images. These images, after being cleaned up, were used to create a physical 3D figurine using 3D printing. Once the little figurines were created, the next step was to place them on a...

A Quirky Portrait Series that Features ‘Elderly Kids’

Los Angeles-based photographer Zachary Scott of Sharpe & Associates was recently commissioned by New York Times Magazine to shoot a quirky series of portraits for a feature titled, “What if Age Is Nothing but a Mind-Set?” The piece was about the area of reverse aging research, so Scott’s task was to make a group of kids look like they had instantly aged 70 years or so. Scott and his team used props, prosthetic makeup, and digital trickery to create their “believable time warp effect.” Scott definitely has a knack for this...

The Photographer’s Guide to Self-Promotion

A Post By: Nancy Young By Deanna Wardin Have you ever been told by your parents “Don’t talk about yourself too much; people won’t like you!” or “Don’t show off!”? Talking too much about your achievements leads not only to criticism, but can also lead to disappointment. There is always going to be someone who worked harder and who has done more than you. The minute you realize you’ve achieved so much in your personal and work life, the reality smacks you and shows you that you’re too big for your boots. Some of us engage in...

Some Wedding Photography Tips with Two Different Perspectives

Posted by on 17th, Nov, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Today I wanted to share these two videos with you that offer pretty my completely opposite ways to do wedding photography; candid storytelling and posed shots. In this first video 19 year wedding veteran  photographer, Joe Buissink, talks about his philosophy on shooting weddings in a storytelling style. He says he started in 1995, I actually have him beat on that one – 1990 for me. Unlike Joe however, I started off doing the more traditional posed style which was popular at the time. Eventually I became a...

Summer Fades Into Fall in This Simple Image Made Up of a Few Smartphone Photographs

Summer Fades Into Fall in This Simple Image Made Up of a Few Smartphone Photographs

Here’s a neat idea you can try next time the seasons change. All it took to create the image above was a couple of months of dedication, a smartphone, and a bit of work in Photoshop. No special gear, and not that much in way of effort, but a pretty cool (if a bit over-saturated) final product. Meant to be just a fun project, graphic design student Kurt Rasos went out to a place near his home in Beaverton, OR every week for two months with his Android smartphone, leaned against a tree for stability/consistency, and combined the...

Poignant Portraits of Americans in Debt Explore the Role Debt Plays in Our Personal Identity

For photographer Brittany M. Powell, debt isn’t just the subject of a personal portrait project, it’s a harsh reality that she’s had to face herself. Inspired by her own experience with debt and bankruptcy after the financial crisis in 2008, she set out to expose the truth about debt and how it impacts both our society and our personal identity in The Debt Project. At its core, The Debt Project is as much for the subjects as it is for the photographer and the ultimate viewers. A mixed-media project, each portrait is attached to a...

Sample Footage Shot with the Ultra Rare Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 that Can See Behind Itself

About once per year, one of the rare Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 lenses out there pops up on eBay when some camera shop or another picks one up. The price ranges from $60K to $160K and it’s gotten to the point where we usually just ignore the listings because… well… we’ve covered them enough times. But when one of our readers tipped us off to a new listing earlier today, we took notice, because this one comes with a sample video of the lens in action. The folks at Photografica in Denmark slapped their copy onto a Nikon D4s and created the...
