Why build a variable ND filter into an adapter you ask? Well, there are a number of reasons.

As Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev shows you in the video above, taking a self-portrait in space is a whole lot easier than on Earth. No need to find a place to set the camera… just set the timer and ‘place’ the camera in the right spot in mid-air. In the video’s description, he writes, “how to make a selfie in zero gravity,†but does...

Chinese New Year, 1984 Revisiting photographs you took 30 years ago can be an eye-opening experience, and not simply because of the sharp realization of just how much has changed. For photographer Bud Glick, digging up, scanning and printing his photographs from New York City’s Chinatown in the 1980s has allowed him to discover images he once looked over, save images that were once unprintable, and revisit a fascinating time characterized by rapid social change. The photographs in Glick’s Chinatown, NY series were captured between...

read more7 Tips for Photographing Groups
A Post By: Karen Quist Whether you’re an amateur or professional photographer, whether you usually photograph people, products, landscapes or insects, the time will come when you will be asked to photograph a large group of people. Of course large is a relative term. If you are used to photographing couples or taking individual portraits, large could mean a group of five people. In general, I consider large to be a group of seven or more. The festive season is fast approaching, and this is the time of year when you are most likely to be...

A Post By: Prathap DK Post-processing is one of the most important steps in the image making process. It is in fact one of the most powerful tools to make your vision come true. The camera does not see the way you see your world and it is your responsibility to translate your vision into reality in post-processing. You can achieve most artistic results in post-processing that are simply not possible in reality. But, being a bird photographer you do not often get a chance to post-process your bird photographs artistically. Why? Since the...

Here to hopefully solve this issue is Kumbacam: a Florida-based imaging company that has a lineup of one-handed gimbals specifically designed for GoPro and smartphone cameras. Nearly identical in functionality, but slightly different in design, these two gimbals use three brushless motors to provide tilt, roll...
