Getting off the ground: Cheap drones for photography
Aerial photography is booming. Putting a camera up in the air offers new opportunities in familiar types of photography and videography, like sports, landscapes, and more. Even better, it costs less than $1,000 to get started with the DJI Phantom II and GoPro Hero3+ – widely considered to be the gold standard setup for drone photography. While that buy-in price is reasonable for such a new hobby, it still costs about as much as a mid-level system camera plus a decent lens. But is there a cheaper way to try it out? ...

Yes, oselimg, nothing says poser, hipster, wannabe like a camera that everyone thinks is either a compact superzoom, a small, inexpensive DSLR, or a too-old digital camera from the days when the small ones were this size. Ohhhh yeahhhh..when my RX10 comes out, it’s like…look out, ladies. Giggity, giggity! I don’t even take pictures with it. I just carry it around, takin’ in the stares of admiration. “Uhhh huhhh…yeah…it’s an RX10, alright.” Source Article from...
read moreA look at the Lomography Petzval 85mm F2.2 lens
Introduction to the Petzval lens By Andy Westlake The Lomography Petzval 85mm F2.2 is a recreation of a 19th century lens, complete with brass barrel Lomography isn’t a company we’ve historically talked about much on DPReview; with its emphasis on low-fi, ‘shoot from the hip’ photography using plastic film cameras, it’s a long way from the typical interests of our readers. But last year the company came up with an interesting idea: to recreate a classic 19th century portrait lens for modern...

Don’t Be Scared Of Functional Programming By Jonathon Morgan July 2nd, 2014 CodingJavaScriptTechniques 0 Comments Functional programming is the mustachioed hipster of programming paradigms. Originally relegated to the annals of computer science academia, functional programming has had a recent renaissance that is due largely to its utility in distributed systems (and probably also because “pure†functional languages like Haskell are difficult to grasp, which gives them a certain cache). Stricter functional programming languages are...

Over the last couple of years, Responsive Web Design and tools like Modernizr1 have become very popular. Recently,...

A Post By: Gavin Hardcastle I’d forgotten all about my childhood dreams of achieving world domination using my very own robot army until I switched on the TB3 from eMotimo. As soon as I synched up the wireless remote and started panning and tilting this robotic tripod head, I was transformed into a grinning 8 year old boy who believed he could do anything. I expect that the eMotimo exhibit at trade shows is usually ringed by a troupe of grinning time-lapse photography nerds like myself, who just realized they stumbled upon a truly...
read more5 Hot Tips For Improving Your Summer Photography
A Post By: John Barbiaux We aren’t going to talk about cleaning your lenses (although you should), I’m not going to tell you to use a tripod (you should know that), and I’m definitely not going to tell you to compare last year’s photography to this year’s (but that’s not a bad idea). No, I’m going to suggest you get out of your comfort zone and do something new. If you open up your Flickr, 500px, or wherever you store your thousands of kitty cat photographs you might notice that there may be a lot of similar shots. Different...
read moreAndroid L to feature Raw shooting and added manual camera controls
Android “copy, steal, copy, pilfer, copy, filch, purloin, steal” what exactly? The pulldown notification bar?Multitasking?Quick settings bar? Basically everything that made iOS a ‘full featured’ OS and pleasant to use on a day-to-day basis is ripped off from Android and Windows Phone. They stole the ugly flat, textual in-app UI in iOS 7 from Windows Phone and now Android is going the same way. Get used to it, companies copy eachother because all three vendors seem to think that the consumer will only buy whatever looks...

Lee claims the 36x31mm filters...
read morePanasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 compared to Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10
I agree on this too. On the 4k deal and “very few people” have the TV for it…think back to the old days of video when full HD was new. I think a lot of people may have said that same thing. Now, it would be nice to have that full HD video from 5-10 years ago vs the SD. When i doubt, that 4k can’t hurt. However, there are MANY things of the RX10 I greatly prefer. Some of them include: f/2.8 all the way, exp comp dial (I hate cameras that don’t have this), threaded shutter button (so I can use my soft releases),...

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.
