A Post By: Simon Ringsmuth Sometimes the most interesting things to photograph are right under your nose, even though you might have to look a little harder to see them.

read more1,000+ Crowdsourced Instagram Photos Turned Into Timelapse Showing One Day in London
Here’s a neat video that combines the concept of the hyperlapse tour of a city with crowdsourced photography. Put together by filmmaker Lorenzo Antico, London in a day – INSTAGRAM was created by compiling a time-lapse of sorts using public Instagram photos taken by people in London. Inspired by the desire to make a short film from other people’s point of view, Antico decided to use Instagram, the most obvious choice of social networks, to do just that. To gather the 1,017 images, he used Iconosquare (formerly Statigram) to find...
read moreHow I Built a Huge Gigapixel Panoramic Robot
Today I want to share how I created a few huge, Gigapixel photos, using a DIY panoramic head. Actually, it is not a panoramic head, because it not only goes right and left, but also up and down. I’ve been a big fan of panoramic photography and of landscape in general for a long time. But four years ago I was climbing a mountain and the view from the top simply took my breath away. I felt an urgent need to share the image with people who don’t climb and therefore will never get access to such views. Here is the thing though,...

There’s a rule of thumb when it comes to viral dog photography: what’s cute with dogs is going to be twice as cute when you shrink your subjects down to puppies. Photographer Seth Casteel did it with Underwater Dogs and the sequel Underwater Puppies, and we are very happy to inform you that animal photographer Carli Davidson recently decided to take her viral SHAKE photos of dogs and create the photo series and book SHAKE Puppies. These younger portraits actually came about thanks to a suggestion by the best possible team of photo...

With a death toll estimated somewhere between 600k and 750k, the American Civil War was without a doubt the bloodiest conflict in U.S. history. But even the soldiers who made it out alive didn’t always do so without sustaining serious injuries. On its Flickr page, the US National Library of Medicine has shared a handful of portraits that depict the war-torn bodies of soldiers who fought through the war. According to the US National Library of Medicine, roughly 3/4th of all surgeries performed during the Civil War were amputations....

A Post By: John Davenport The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 APS-C sensor lens is without a doubt my favorite lens in my camera bag and it also has some great reviews throughout the photography community. But is this lens for you? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Ultimately, what kind of photographs can you take with it? Who is the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for?

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.
