Collaboration – 8 Ways to Work With Other Photographers

A Post By: Andrew Faulk In an industry where marketing strategy and professional branding are needed to survive and to “make it” fiscally, we are missing something that should define our artistic craft. Just like in any other industry, collaboration is not an ideal that limits photographers, but one that can propel us personally and professionally. Understanding that photography is not usually seen as a “team sport”, how can we collaborate with each other while retaining our individuality as visual artists? Here are 8 ways to work...

Six Ways to Take Care of Your Creative Spirit

A Post By: Lynsey Mattingly I like photographers. Some of my favorite people and closest friends are photographers. In general, I find us to be a likeable bunch: witty, intelligent, wildly attractive. I also find that we reside in a grey area where we aren’t quite regarded as artists. We are the redheaded stepchildren of the art world, and I can say that because I both am a redheaded stepchild and have a redheaded stepchild. Truth be known, she is the easiest kid of the bunch. She pulls no punches, just tells it like it is. Much like...

LensRentals looks into the Canon EF 16-35 f/4 IS

Posted by on 8th, Aug, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

that’s why i love old mf lenses – metal lens barrel, and no build-in af motor, ultrasonic or whatever, nothing really that could get broken within decades, if you handle your lenses carefully, they’d last a lifetime…and perhaps your grandchildren would love to use them. 🙂 besides that, i’ve read some time ago, the zoom lens class 70-200mm is the one which get broken seriously too often within a couple years, i can’t verify this, because i don’t own a zoom lens of that range and/or type.

Apple expands OS X Mavericks Raw compatibility

Posted by on 8th, Aug, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

I did anticipate some off-beat replies when I made my original post but not quite so many comments! First off, thanks to those who pointed out this update is available for Mountain Lion. I must have misread that. Second, Mavericks is a 5.7GB file. In the real world, away from concrete cities, that is a major download which can take a day or more, plenty of time for something to corrupt. Not even remotely trivial. Especially if you are brave enough to chance your arm at “updating” all the software which is Mavericks-only. Lastly, I...

HTC Gallery update allows for sharing of Duo Cam images

HTC Gallery update allows for sharing of Duo Cam images

We were not too impressed with results from the HTC One M8’s Duo Cam in our review,  but nevertheless, its secondary camera for capturing depth information and itscorresponding features make the HTC one of the more interesting smartphone cameras released so far in 2014. One of Duo Cam’s limitations has been that the editing features, such as UFocus for changing the focus point after capture or Foregrounder for applying effects to the back- or foreground of an image, could only be used on the device itself. This has...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 and Sony Alpha 7S added to studio comparison

Posted by on 8th, Aug, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

The GH4 is superior to its very capable sibling FZ1000. Its autofocus is better, for one thing. It also has more features. The FZ1000 doesn’t have touch screen, a headphone jack, etc. As for 4K, 4K capture is better for 1080p output than mere 1080p capture, not only because of the cropping, zooming, and stabilizing options but also because of the Nyquist Theorum. To make the most of 1080p, you need to sample twice the information (UHD). The GH2, even hacked, can’t resolve as much detail or give as much color information....

Monkey photo copyright in question as Wikipedia denies photographer’s takedown request

Posted by on 8th, Aug, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

This is a popular misconception by bloggers: they think that they have the right to copy anyone’s art, just because they found it on the internet, which is very far from the truth. The copyright stays with the creator, no matter who published it on the net, unless the copyright owner has sold the rights outright. Did Slater offer a banana in exchange of the camera, one wonders?! Evidently, copyright law isn’t totally up-to-date when it comes to pictures taken by machines (like a camera onboard a RC plane), animals, or whatever....

The New Photographer’s Ephemeris Desktop Beta Version Announced

A Post By: Stephen Trainor The Photographer’s Ephemeris for Desktop: All Change! Some important news for users of The Photographer’s Ephemeris (TPE) for Desktop: on 2 September 2014, Google will switch off the Google Maps for Flash API. On that date TPE for Desktop will stop working. When TPE for Desktop was first launched in 2009, we still lived in a pre-iPad world and Steve Jobs had yet to write his thoughts on Flash. Building on Adobe AIR provided a convenient cross-platform technology that allowed users on Windows, Mac and Linux to...

How to use the Art of Self Reflection to Make Better Photos

A Post By: Alex Morrison Have you ever “hit the wall” with your photography? Do you sometimes get the feeling your images aren’t improving as much, or as fast as you’d like? Have you ever thought about what you must do to cross that chasm from being a pretty good photographer to being a WOW photographer? Is this a WOW shot or not? How do you know? ONE SKILL FITS ALL There’s really only one ability that you need to develop to help you advance your talents, and it will serve you well in any creative pursuit, not just your photography....

If you park your car at a Walmart parking lot, and while in shopping, a meteorite falls on and destroys your car, your first instinct may be to sue Walmart (the thinking goes along the lines of, “I just lost my $20k car… that’s not fair; someone has to pay for it; Walmart should pay, they have enough money). However, it would not be Walmart’s fault. The moral of the story is, sometimes in life bad/unfortunate things happen that aren’t any person’s fault. You just have to accept the blows you are dealt.
