How to Clean Your Camera Sensor in 3 Easy Steps

A Post By: Alex Morrison There is really nothing more frustrating for photographers than a camera sensor that is full of dust and specks. Dust on the sensor happens, it’s just a fact of digital photographic life. If you’re an outdoor photographer with a zoom lens, or one who changes lenses in the field, dust and particles will find a way onto your sensor on an almost regular basis. But even studio photographers experience the distress of a dirty sensor. The world’s dirtiest camera sensor. Yuck. A few weeks ago I was on a mountain photo...

Capturing Unenthusiastic Teens: Forget the Perfect Pose and Get Photos You Truly Love

A Post By: Melinda Smith I wrote an article recently sharing some tips for Capturing Busy Little Ones, and had a request for a similar article for photographing teens. Since I love photographing teens (who doesn’t??), I’m thrilled to share some tips. These aren’t tips for photographing the aspiring model teens. Those teens are usually pretty easy to photograph, they will pose for you until the cows come home, and love every minute of it. No, I’m going to let you in on some ideas for photographing those teens that aren’t so...

Winners announced for 2014 British Wildlife Photography Awards

Posted by on 4th, Sep, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Excellent photos. As has been noticed below, the colours nicely correspond with British weather 😉 e.g. the goose picture. My favourites are the goose (No 1, perfect composition, matching colours and mood, good title), the otter (3, thatÅ› real wildlife, good timing), b&w shark (5, like a PC animation, fascinating) and the gnat (absolutely minimalistic, almost surreal). Deserved winners I think. Source Article from...

Samsung introduces Galaxy Note 4 phablet with OIS

Samsung has announced the latest iteration of its top-of-the-line phablet, the Galaxy Note 4, at simultaneous events in New York and Berlin today. In terms of design the new model is very close to its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 3, and also features the same faux-leather back. Under the hood, however, things have been upgraded significantly, specifically in the camera department. For mobile photographers, the big news about the Galaxy Note 4 is its optical image stabilization system which makes it the first Samsung smartphone to...

A guided tour of the Sony QX1 and QX30 smartphone cameras

Posted by on 4th, Sep, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Having used the QX10, I had exactly that issue tkbslc. It straps around my wrist, great, now add a Galaxy S4 to that and I have a very awkward setup. The module is thick enough that it doesn’t fit in a pocket well at all (like a point and shoot would), so it really needs a purse or something, which I don’t carry. Then, add all the usability issues or having a Wi-Fi based screen and you have a rather useless toy. Having to wait 12 seconds to compose a photo (can take one right away, but no screen to compose for many seconds) or...

Sony introduces QX1 with APS-C sensor and E-mount for smartphones

Sony has announced the Alpha QX1 and Cyber-shot DSC-QX30, expanding its line of ‘lens-style’ cameras ready to be paired with a smartphone. The QX1 is an interchangeable lens model, containing a 20MP APS-C sensor and a Sony E-mount for use with lenses designed for Sony’s mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. More like the existing QX10 and QX100, the QX30 is single unit containing a sensor and lens, providing a 20MP 1/2.3″-type sensor and a longer 24-720mm equivalent optical zoom with OIS. Both...

Everything You Need to Know About Lightroom and Colour Space

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson This diagram shows the three colour spaces that Lightroom works with. Photo from Wikipedia One of the key differences between Lightroom and Photoshop is their approach to colour management. In Photoshop, once out of Adobe Camera Raw, you can go to the Colour Settings menu option and tell Photoshop in which colour space you want it to work. How Lightroom works Lightroom works differently. When processing Raw files, Lightroom uses the ProPhotoRGB colour space the whole time, and there’s nothing you can do to change...

Cartier-Bresson and Stieglitz – Study the Masters of Photography to Become a Better Photographer

A Post By: Adam Welch There is an unnervingly common trait among photographers, image makers, picture people, etc. Sometimes we forget that the reason we have access to such awesome gear and techniques, is because those who came before us in our trade figured them out, practiced them, advance them, and then left us a legacy of knowledge. The further we go back through the history of photography, the more prevalent this apathy becomes. What do you have to learn from someone who used a camera less advanced than a garage door opener? Well, as it...

Canon confirms price drop on select EF lenses

Posted by on 3rd, Sep, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Sometimes low-tech is simply more reliable. OVFs don’t require power to function, and the image is updated at literally the speed of light. At any moment whilst in use, a mirrorless camera is powering its sensor, its image processor, and some form of screen, be it an EVF or not. Most of the time your DSLR is turned on, the only components actually drawing power are the AF sensors and possibly motor, the metering system, and if applicable, the top LCD—all of which require minimal power to operate. Of course, my priorities are...

Zeiss launches Loxia full frame lenses for Sony E-mount

German optical manufacturer Zeiss has announced a new range of lenses called Loxia, designed for full frame cameras using the Sony E mount – essentially the Sony Alpha 7 series at the moment. The Loxia 2/35 and Loxia 2/50 are based on the company’s existing 35mm f/2 Biogon and 50mm f/2 Planar lenses from the ZM range. Both models will allow users to deactivate the ‘click’ of the aperture ring by turning a screw on the lens mount, making these lenses suitable for videography as well as for stills. Zeiss claims the lenses...
