A Step By Step Guide to Making Your First Panorama Photo

A Post By: Soumya Shankar Ghosal While visiting an art gallery or a photography exhibition, at times you may have noticed certain landscape photographs have extremely elongated fields of view. They seem quite impossible to have been photographed with a standard camera. If you wonder how such elongated photographs are made, you are not alone. I had my first encounter with a panoramic image of the Himalayan mountain range being displayed at Das Studios in Darjeeling, a Himalayan resort town in West Bengal, India. That photograph had a huge...

Seven photographic hacks, one short video

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

I’ve used the string before, but never from both feet. Another steadying DIY device I’ve used quite a bit, is a small fat bean bag, and a short 12, or 18 inch bungee cord. Place the bean bag on the post, fence rail, tree, or whatever you find, then the camera goes next, keeping the bean bag between the object, and the camera, then strap it all down with the bungee cord wrapped around everything. The bean bag makes it possible to steadily adjust the direction the camera points, rather than depending on the angle of the post. Finger...

NightCap Pro enables ultra long exposures on the iPhone

While the latest generation of smartphones can in many ways rival traditional compact cameras, the lack of true long exposure functionality on most phones is a limitation and means taking images in very low light or capturing light and star trails is simply not possible. However, now there’s an app for that. NightCap was one of the first apps to enable long exposure capture on the iPhone and now its maker Interealtime has launched NightCap Pro, an enhanced version that adds iPad support, low-light video recording, a “light...

Found film: Keep a lookout for photographic treasures

 An image from the Kodak Super XX film Derek Wong bought in Michigan. The next time you’re in a thrift shop or antique store, keep a lookout for photographic treasures. While old cameras are always eye-catching, the images captured with those cameras are often more intriguing as Mike Ames and Derek Wong discovered.   Ames came across a number of small tins of developed Kodak Panatomic film in a Roanoke, Virginia thrift store and once he saw that the negatives were in good condition, he purchased the tins and had the film scanned. In...

Smaller, faster … better? Canon G1 X Mark II review

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

Kinda disappointing… but it’s a Canon, so Silver Award anyway? 😉 I actually used to be a big fan of the Canon G1 and then the G5, but this doesn’t seem to have a great sensor and the touch screen is a poor excuse for not having either an optical finder or, better, an EVF. Actually, I think the touch screen is great for video (as an alternative to pulling focus), but this camera does mediocre video — is Canon just trying to attract cell phone users who want some DoF control? The G1X is supported by CHDK, so hopefully...

Unicode For A Multi-Device World

Unicode For A Multi-Device World By John Holt Ripley May 6th, 2014 FontsMobileTypography 2 Comments A while ago, I was working on a website that required a number of icons. “No problem,” I thought. “I know how to handle this. I’ll use an @font-face icon set for high-resolution screens. It’ll be a single file, to reduce HTTP requests, and I’ll include just the icons that I need, to reduce file size.” “I’ll even use a Unicode character as the base of the icon, so that if @font-face isn’t supported, then the user will still...

How to do Great Photography Even When Your Surroundings are Boring

A Post By: James Maher Gowanus Fire Hydrant I have always been fascinated with great photography taken in areas that people might commonly refer to as ‘boring.’ I use the word boring because that is the specific word I most often see used as an excuse for people having trouble with their photography. Someone will say, “I wish I lived somewhere more interesting and beautiful”or “I can’t do interesting work where I live. It’s too boring.”. Can you relate to that? What these people don’t realize is that what might seem boring...

Is it true? New service detects processed photos

Posted by on 7th, May, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

What’s your point? Mine is that all ooc jpegs are already processed. Ooc jpegs aren’t reality, even if you haven’t touched them since they came from the camera. An ooc could have been processed with a pinhole, miniature, dramatic, etc. art filter, but even if it wasn’t, it was processed in some way. It reflects a choice, if not on your part, then on the part of the camera manufacturer, who chose a default processing standard. Detecting artifacts from multiple saves proves nothing. The image may subjectively (or...

FlashQ: The little cube for flash photography

Posted by on 7th, May, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

What did she actually say?Her English is so hard to understand that it nearly made me stop looking at the video. Although the idea by itself is nice.Its never a good idea to hold a camera in one hand while holding a flash in the other. You’ll loose a lot of stability even though the flash freezes your movement. Also not of much use to those photographers that don’t understand how to operate a flash in manual mode. Many will get horrible results by using these simple wireless hotshoes as their flash will overpower the subject they...

Nikon D4S dynamic range and tone curve measurements

Posted by on 7th, May, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Just tested the studio tool with the D4s and the NEX-5T (a fairly modern APS-C/DX camera), and found that their ISO capacity did vary that much: I selected incandescent light, and the patch of greenery in the upper right corner. Set the ISO to 102400, which the 5T can’t follow, so stopped at 25600, and as far as I can see (I use a calibrated iMac) there was little difference in noise, at that setting. Menas a camera that costs maybe a tenth of the D4s can deliver almost the same image quality, just two ISO steps behind! Tried the D610...
