Predicting Dramatic Sunsets

A Post By: Bruce Wunderlich “Red Sky”  Summer sunset over Marietta, Ohio One question every child asks is, “Why is the sky blue?” But let’s look at why is the sky red at Sunset. Light from the sun is made up of all the colors in the rainbow. As the sunlight enters the earth’s atmosphere, the short wave length of blue light is scattered in all directions, more than any of the other colors, causing the sky to be blue during the day. At sunrise and sunset, the light has farther to travel due to the low angle of the sun in the sky....

How to Improve Your Photography with Storytelling Images

A Post By: James Maher How many times have you had this interaction? “This photo is beautiful!” “Thanks!” End of conversation. There’s nothing wrong with this, of course. Beautiful is a great, great compliment. However, if you’ve ever wanted to have a longer conversation with a viewer about one of your photographs, then creating images with stories behind them, or around your own personal stories, can be a very important approach to try. My favorite photography tip has always been that you should photograph what you know and...

Hipstamatic updates Cinamatic with manual video controls

Cinamatic, Hipstamatic’s iOS app for capturing short video clips, has been updated to implement manual control over focus, exposure, white balance, shutter speed, and ISO. This has been made possible by changes to the camera API in the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 8. After the launch of the new OS manual control had been implemented in several still photography apps very quickly but Cinamatic is now the first video app to come with the additional controls.  Apart from bug fixes and general...

HTC introduces the RE digital camera

Smartphone maker HTC has introduced its first stand-alone camera in the shape of the HTC RE. With no viewfinder, screen or controls other than a shutter release button, the RE is designed to be used either as an independent still and video camera, or as a connected device controlled via a smartphone. Housing a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor that features 16 million pixels, the RE uses a fixed-focus f/2.8 lens that HTC says has a 146 degree angle of view – equivalent to a 6.5mm focal length on a full frame body. The camera comes to life when it...

How to Improve Your Composition Using Juxtaposition and Contrast

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson Today I’d like to explore two complementary elements juxtaposition and contrast, to help you improve your composition. Juxtaposition occurs when you place two contrasting subjects side by side. The difference (i.e. the contrast) between the two subjects creates an interesting photo. A classic example A great example of this is the Annie Leibovitz portrait (bottom of page linked) of jockey Willie Shoemaker (4’ 11” tall) and basketball player Wilt Chamberlain (7’ 1”). Placing the two men side by side...

How to do Great Black and White Conversions Using Photoshop

A Post By: Helen Bradley Some photos that you take you’ll want to convert to black and white. Photoshop has some tools that you can use to convert your photos to black and white and I’ll show you what these are and the best way to do the conversion. Why you should shoot in color and convert to black and white If your camera saves photos as jpeg images, even if it can capture in black and white, it’s advisable to avoid this setting and instead shoot in color and convert later. The reason is that when you capture in jpeg and have the...

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Why does no-one make a sophisticated camera today? Camera-phones have mopped up the non-enthusiasts. The mad boom of selling SLRs by feature count to people who used one feature – full auto – is over. Soon the boom of bigger and better sensors will be over. What remains is an unmet need to focus on quality, simplicity, and usability. In this discussion about LX100 fluff features:...

Add to that WiFi, an articulated screen, small & lightweight body, and you have quite the FF body. Oh, and let’s not forget focusing down to EV -3 (for all AF points), which puts it ahead of most, if not all, other DSLRs in this regard. The A7S does focus in lower light, but b/c it is CDAF which already tends to be slower than PDAF, and b/c focusing slows down in low light, the reality is that focusing on moving subjects in such low light proves rather difficult for the A7S (and many others, really). The top downsides that come to...

‘See Impossible’: Canon counts down to… something. *UPDATED*

UPDATE: When Canon’s countdown clock reached zero this morning, the big surprise turned out to be… a ‘marketing initiative.’ Canon wants to remind consumers that its products can help them ‘see impossible,’ and it is doing so with an interactive website. The campaign will also include efforts in print, digital and live events. If you were waiting for the next big thing in imaging, it looks like you can keep on waiting. Canon is counting down to something, offering by way of a clue a...
