Lytro’s new Develop Kit opens platform to NASA and more
Read our interview with Lytro’s CEO and founder Lytro has opened its doors to outside companies with a Lytro Development Kit (LDK), giving the likes of NASA and the Department of Defense - two of its first customers - access to its light field technology hardware and software. This is part of its Lytro Platform, and it starts at $20,000 USD. According to Lytro, the goal is to provide other companies with the ability to develop custom light field cameras for use across many industries. ‘It paves the path for...

I went to the last finalists exhibition, last Christmas. These pictures look like “the ones that didn’t quite make it”, so if you like these definitely check out the show if you can. I expect the World Press Awards show, which is good, will be across the river at the Royal Festival Hall at about the same time. The Taylor Wessing was largely environmental portraiture, and pretty good. For gearheads, they put up a PDF with details for all the pictures. So you can see how almost none of the finalists were shot at 85 to 135mm...
read moreDrift Stealth 2 action camera is maker’s smallest yet
Drift, maker of the Ghost-S and HD Ghost, has introduced its smallest action camera to date: the Stealth 2. Its diminutive size is the Stealth 2’s most notable feature – it’s half the size of the Ghost-S, measuring 3.15 x 1.65 x 1.06 inches, and it weighs 40% less. The combination of a 1.3-inch Mono Graphic Backlit LCD and status LED panel show the camera’s current operations and mode, and is joined by support for the Drive 2-Way Remote Control. Videos can be captured in either 720p at up to...
read moreReview: A 34-Inch 3440×1440 Monitor is Great for Photo Editing, So is it Better if You Curve It?
Back in June I posted about how the then newly released LG 34UM95-P had changed my editing workflow going from dual screens when editing to a single ultra wide one. Today I’d like to follow up on that experience with a new one with the curved version of the LG monitor, the 34UC97-S. Just as with the 34UM95, the 34UC97 is a 34†ultra wide LED backlit IPS LCD monitor with the same native resolution of 3440×1440 at 60Hz. On paper you would be forgiven for thinking they’re twins and, indeed, on all but a few counts they are. The...

They say the devil’s in the details, and one of the most crucial details of any portrait is the eyes. You want to make sure that the eyes in your portraits are always looking the absolute best without somehow coming off as fake or enhanced. Here to help us do just that with a new tutorial that focuses, for once, on the white of the eyes, is retouching expert Michael Woloszynowicz. In the seven-and-a-half minute video, Woloszynowicz walks you through a straightforward Photoshop workflow that will help you make the sclera of the eye...

In 2012, photographer Kelly Lewis and her husband adopted young Alice Lewis into their family. Between Alice’s dream of becoming a model/actress, Kelly’s passion for photography, and the entire family’s love of cosplay, the trio quickly found the mutual ground that would forge a deep bond between Alice and her adoptive parents. These mutual fascinations have turned into a fun and popular portrait project called ‘Malice of Alice’ in which Alice dresses up, gets into character, and poses for her mother’s lens. Kelly and Alice...

If you’re a Canon user and a hater of all things DxOMark, you might want to skip over this one and read this article on how well the 7D Mark II is weather sealed instead. If you’re a Canon hater, read on! You’ll love this! Earlier today, the lab released their official review of the Canon 7D Mark II, and while there were a few bright spots, the tone of the review in general might be summed up by the word ‘meh.’ The biggest issue with the camera, according to DxO, is how it performs at base and low ISO. In their words, “the...

read moreOvercoming Fear in Photography
A Post By: Adam Welch Fear. It’s an emotion to which we all can relate. Luckily, nervousness or fear in photography can be overcome with practice and patience. After speaking with a few fellow photographers and borrowing from my own experiences, I have listed some shared fears among photographers and ways you can learn to overcome them. 1. The fear: I’m afraid I don’t know what I’m doing. Every photographer at some point feels a little out of their depth when encountering a new situation or problem. Whether it’s learning to use 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.
