Filmmaker links 50 Lumia 1020s to create ‘bullet time’ effect
Filmmaker Paul Trillo and Microsoft, who previously collaborated on the NY 41×41 project, have teamed up again to work on another smartphone-based visual project. Trillo and his team built  an apparatus which they call the “Lumia Arc of Wonder”. It consists of 50 Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphones fixed to a custom-built metal arc on casters, some networking equipment and external power sources. The whole rack is controlled via a custom-designed app running on a Microsoft Surface tablet. When the 1020 cameras are...

JerBill, What is “the mission of NASA”, in your opinion? It is pretty well documented that they heyday of NASA funding coincided with U.S. interest in advancing ICBM technology as part of the nuclear arms race. In fact, NASA’s own history site has quotes from President Kennedy and others regarding that point, which I’m too lazy to look up now. Which is not to say that many NASA employees have not always seen their mission primarily as exploring the boundaries of human travel, colonization, etc. in outer space for lofty...

What a hash-up. The E-P5 was released with the worse shutter shock issue I have ever seen. ONE YEAR on we have a workaround. I will never buy a PEN again, that is for sure.

Next-Generation Responsive Web Design Tools: Webflow, Edge Reflow, Macaw By Brian Wood May 23rd, 2014 GraphicsTechniquesTools 0 Comments To prepare for a talk about the changing roles of designers and developers, given at HOW Interactive a few months back, I interviewed 20+ web shops. Validated by my own experience, I found that many of them faced challenges fitting responsive design into their workflow, and the role of most web designers had changed to include coding in some form or another. At least half of the designers knew HTML and CSS...

An Introduction To Node.js And MongoDB By Elliot Bonneville May 22nd, 2014 CodingNode.jsServers 22 Comments Node.js is a rapidly growing technology that has been overtaking the world of server-side programming with surprising speed. MongoDB is a technology that’s revolutionizing database usage. Together, the two tools are a potent combination, thanks to the fact that they both employ JavaScript and JSON. At first glance, coming to grips with Node.js and MongoDB can seem both time-consuming and painful. Read on to learn how to wield these...

A Post By: Ben Evans Young photographers are often better at digital photography than older photographers. This article will explain why this might be, and how you can improve your skills faster. You may be surprised to hear that IQ (Intelligence Quotient) apparently peaks at age fourteen. Now, IQ is a deeply flawed measure of intelligence, and fourteen year olds certainly shouldn’t take over the world; but the young brain has incredible processing power. As we age, we lose this raw speed and (hopefully) replace it with shortcuts,...
read moreNo Telephoto Lens No Problem – Tips on Shooting for the Crop
A Post By: Gavin Hardcastle Maybe your photos are better than you think. Perhaps all you need to transform your images into keepers is to simply cut out the dead wood and get ruthless with the crop tool. While I’m not against getting your shot perfect ‘in camera’, I do believe that cropping like a boss during post-production can turn a ‘meh’ shot into a ‘whoa’ shot just by carefully placing those marching ants in Adobe Camera Raw and hitting ‘crop’. Why limit yourself to a mediocre image when there’s a little hidden gem...

While losing the main breadwinner in any family is a disaster to all concerned, Sherpas are the wealthiest ethnic group in Nepal. A high altitude sherpa earns annually 10 to 20 times the national average. True poverty lies in the western Nepal, where no tourists and no relief funds go. Namche, the tourist hub of Khumbu, is per capita the wealthiest city in the whole country. Something to think about also. Source Article from...

As someone who’s tried to get sea spray off of a multi-coated filter, taking countless lens tissues and eclipse fluid… …and who’s had to try to clean elephant snot (or whatever it is that comes out of an elephant’s nose) when it snorts a foot or two from your ultra-wide angle lens, depositing disgusting slime on the front element of a 17-35mm zoom… I here and now demand that Nikon create a retrofitting service so I can replace the front element of the half-dozen lenses that I use the most. I shoot a lot in...

And Ricoh still beats Fuji because their cameras actually work from factory but they bring improvements long after they are discontinued. Sony added peaking and a substantial UI overhaul to the original NEX series. Added PDAF support for ALL lenses in the last NEX update including every model that had PDAF on sensor, including well discontinued models. Canon 7D added significant features including buffer and audio 3 years after release. Pentax improved buffer on the K-5. Pentax updated the original Q to get focus peaking and made a...
read moreDxOMark recommends best lenses for the Nikon D800E
DXO mark: can be useful in looking at performance across different apertures. Trash quality reporting for headline news, and ‘perceptual megapixels’ largely a waste of time, but sounds very convincing for newcomers. From personal experience with this camera and some of these lenses, and listening to other users of the D800E, I would say it is 5-10% sharper than the D800 when used with the best lenses. But Sharpness is great almost across the board these days, especially compared to any previous generation of photography, and when...

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.
