read moreWeekly Photography Challenge Worm’s Eye View
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt This week I rounded up a bunch of images taken low to the ground, otherwise known as worm’s eye view. It’s not a common view that people see, so images you create shot from this angle have a unique look and pique interest with viewers. Your job is to take on this low down task and shoot from the ground level. Here are some examples for you: By Stephan Rebernik By Stephan Rebernik By Stephan Rebernik By Tim Hamilton By Dr. Motte By AJ Mangoba There’s no special equipment needed to do this, or magical...
read moreA Collection of Low to the Ground Images
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt Creating an original image can sometimes be challenging. One of the best ways to do it is to change up your camera angle or perspective. Getting up high and looking down is one method, another is crawling around in the dirt to get a worm’s eye view. As you can imagine the name comes from approximating the view a worm would have from his angle on the ground. Being low to the ground will set your images apart because the average person doesn’t see that way, or take photos from down there. It can also mean...
read morePhase One to introduce A-Series mirrorless medium format camera system
Update: It appears that Digital Transitions made information about the new Phase One A-series public before an official announcement, and Phase One has responded with the following letter to clear up some confusion – our original news story appears below: Letter from Phase One While product teams have been hard at work preparing the new A-series camera systems for market, Phase One and ALPA are happy to see such interest based on the early news shared by some of our U.S. partners. We regret any confusion, including...
read moreOlympus OM-D E-M5 rumored to be out of production
I think it’s practical that DPR informs us otherwise out-of-time folks also about not confirmed rumors, although I see unhappy comments below. To be honest, not everyone has enough time to check all the rumors sites every single day, but DPR belongs so far to sites which a few users visit daily ;-). I personally prefer to be informed also about rumors (which were in in this case in the air anyway months ago, so they are likely to happen), than to be totally surprised when it may be happens, as such information might influence buying...

Bad photos, the first one shows a definite softness in the corners, photo nr 5, blown highlights, my Gawd … and, what’s totally unacceptable, sharpness across the frame is absent in all of them! Why on earth post this crap? Joking of course … 😉 Source Article from...
read moreIs Black and White Photography a Gimmick?
In an age where digital photography is ubiquitous, and post processing allows everyman to bump saturation levels and create hyper-real images, black and white photography seems like a curious anachronism. Color film went mainstream in the 1930s with the introduction of Kodachrome, but black and white has stubbornly persisted not only in newspapers, but also as an expressive outlet for many photographers who choose to shoot photojournalism, weddings, portraits and more by converting color digital files to black and white. Even Leica...

We’ve shared an interview with him and even featured a short behind-the-scenes video of him explaining his process a bit. But Nikon recently released a comprehensive collection of videos that will tell you just about everything you might want to know about Clark Little and his beautiful big wave photography. This all-inclusive collection of videos and interviews was put together by Nikon for its I AM DIFFERENT campaign. In it, Nikon includes an interview with Little, the story behind his work and the passion that fuels it, a...

Almost two months ago Getty unveiled Stream, an iOS app designed to let you browse through and legally share its impressive image archive. Today, they bring that experience to the desktop with Getty Images Stream for OS X. There’s not much to say about the app, other than it’s a super-sized version of the iOS experience. Similar in aesthetics and navigational hierarchy, Stream for OS X lets you browse through the continually-updated image archives, favorite the images you most like, share images with your friends or followers...
read moreTutorial: A Much More Effective Way to Correct for Distortion in a Fisheye Photograph
When it comes to correcting the distortion on fisheye lenses, most of us use the fairly standard rectilinear methods built into Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw. And while that gets the job done decently well, there’s a way to go about it that will leave you with a lot less noticeable distortion and more of your image still intact. The above tutorial was shared by astrophotographer Ian Norman, and in it, he explains how this alternative method — which uses Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Image Trends’ $30 Fisheye-Hemi Plugin —...

If you’ve ever wondered to yourself what life as a Steadicam operator is like, you might want to take a look at this video. Deemed a ‘Walkumentary,’ this two and a half minute video shows you what Jon Beattie had to do during his incredibly grueling job as the Steadicam operator for 24 hours of Happy — the extended music video for Pharrell Williams’ hit song. In the BTS video above, Beattie narrates the process of filming the unusual music video, tossing out some mind-blowing statistics about just how much walking and effort...

read moreImprove your Images with Photography Projects
A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson Have you ever been in a situation where you are stuck for ideas about what to take photos of? I certainly have, and a lot of it comes from being so familiar with my surroundings that it’s hard to see the photographic potential in anything. A newcomer to my local area would probably see it completely differently, and find lots of inspiration. Given that most of us spend the majority of the year at home, is there an easy way to find inspiration? There is – the secret is to get in the habit of setting yourself...
read moreSamsung developing 360 degree panoramic 3D camera for VR headsets
New display technologies often have the problem that, due to a lack of cameras that support the new format, there is very little content available for them. Virtual reality (VR) headsets, such as the Oculus Rift or recently announced Samsung Gear VR are no different. Think Tank Team, a research division of Samsung, is now looking to mitigate the problem with the help of Project Beyond, a camera that captures 360 degree images and video footage that can be viewed on the Gear VR. Project Beyond is still in the prototype stage,...

DJI has launched its latest drone, the Inspire 1, equipped with a new camera unit capable of 12MP stills and 4K video recording. The latest addition to DJI’s arsenal also includes a newly developed gimbal that can be removed and potentially upgraded in the future.

2013 was a fantastic year for astrophotographer Mark Gee. First, barely one month into the year, he went from amateur photographer to Internet sensation when his gorgeous video “Full Moon Silhouettes†went viral. And then, to finish out the year, he took home the top prize at the Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2013 competition with his beautiful “Guiding Light†photograph. In the video profile above by New Zealand’s The Learning Connection, we get to know Mark and his history, hear about his meteoric (pardon the pun) rise...

DJI has officially announced its latest camera drone. Called the Inspire 1, the new remote-controlled quadcopter brings 4K aerial video and 12MP aerial photos to the masses in a sleek and easy-to-operate package. The camera on the bottom is attached via a 3-axis gimble that stabilizes the camera. The downward facing optical stabilizer allows the camera to be completely stable in flight even without a steady GPS signal. The 94-degree wide angle (not fisheye) lens has an unobstructed 360-degree view of the world. A threaded filter mount...

Today, at its 2014 Developer Conference, Samsung unveiled Project Beyond: a camera capable of capturing true 3D video in a full 360-degrees. The saucer-shaped design captures a gigapixel of 3D footage every single second! Which sets the stage for Samsung’s endeavors to make virtual reality more realistic than ever. The camera, whose footage is designed to work seamlessly with Samsung’s own Gear VR headset, packs quite a punch inside its considerably small form factor. Along the outside of the device, there is an array of 16 Full-HD...
read moreDid You Know: Publishing Nighttime Photos of the Eiffel Tower is Copyright Infringement
According to an oft-forgotten clause in EU copyright laws, it is illegal to publish nighttime photos of certain public buildings in certain countries without asking permission from the owners of the buildings. So why isn’t everyone who captures and posts images of iconic building such as France’s Eiffel Tower prosecuted then? Because the clause and accompanying law are rather vague, only accepted by certain states, and all-round confusing to interpret. Certain buildings also have their own rules in place, such as the rules the...

These days a lot of people seem to be offering advice in the area of becoming a full time professional photographer. Some of those folks, like Greg Heisler, Jay Meisel, Gail Mooney and others, have long careers and great inspirational advice for those who are beginning the journey. Others, whose names I won’t mention, and hosts of FB, G+, and Flickr shooters want you to know that the life sucks, the cameras suck, the business sucks, and the whole idea of being a professional photographer is a total pile of crap – and it sucks, of...

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.
