Google applies for contact lens camera patent

Posted by on 16th, Apr, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Yoshihisa Maitani once was asked what his ideal camera would be. His reply was along the lines of “simple: you simply look at something, and the picture is captured”. If it were to be limited to that function, this invention would be marvellous, but the nasty information-hungry goblins infesting the Internet have made every such new development seem more of a curse. It’s time that stringent electronic privacy laws were enacted, and enforced with a very big stick. …Always supposing, of course, that they don’t...

Never lose your lens cap again with HACkxTACK

Never. I had my bank cards near working MRI machine, nothing happened to anything. Mythbusters did an experiment about cards and magnets, and that was busted: you have to have VERY strong magnet to ruin modern cash cards. I tried that myself with 30’000 Gauss lab magnet (which is enough to stop your anti-magnetic Swiss or Japanese watch and drive nuts many other things, although it’s nearly not the strongest magnet I messed with) and own active card. Nothing happened to both, magnet survived, card survived. Anyway, if you ruin...

A Guide to Landscape Photography Workflow and Post-Processing

A Post By: Darren Rowse Today is an exciting day at dPS HQ because we’re releasing an eBook that has been asked for many times by readers – LOVING Landscapes, a Guide to Landscape Photography Workflow and Post-Processing by Todd and Sarah Sisson. Early in 2013 we looked at our growing library of photography eBooks and realised that we had a big hole to fill – we were yet to publish a Landscape Photography eBook. We began the hunt for a photographer to create a guide. After much searching we came across the photography of husband and...

How to Get Super Sharp Landscape Photography Images

A Post By: Gavin Hardcastle The most common question I get asked by my workshop students is ‘how do you get such sharp images?’. It’s actually really simple. Basically, avoid movement of any kind while the shutter is open, focus well and choose the right aperture for your creative vision. Mostly it’s just plain old common sense with a couple of technical elements thrown in, so if you want to learn how to get super sharp landscape photography images, here’s my list of top tips.

A New Photographer’s Guide to Composition

A Post By: James Maher Recently I wrote a New Photographer’s Guide to Camera Settings. Once you become comfortable with your camera settings, the next step is to learn the rules of good composition and design for your photography. So here are the 10 most important tips to take into account when framing your scene. Your guide to composition. Grand Central Terminal and Chrysler Building, NYC #1 How will the viewer’s eyes flow through the scene? I prefer to think about composition as if it is a game to please the eyes, and if you want to...

Pulitzer Prize 2014 winners announced for photography

Posted by on 15th, Apr, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

The Lacy Atkins site, if one can excuse the “selfie” on the main page, includes various interesting photo series, including the one about the Oakland charter school. It features some motivated, engaged people. Unfortunately, most of the pictures portray very reluctant or bewildered young men. One appears to give up entirely. The learning experience seems reduced to passing unappetizing multiple choice proficiency exams. The school could probably use a music and choir director prior to a math drill sergeant. The enrollment...

Hands on with the Pentax 645Z

Posted by on 15th, Apr, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

The old 645D is no slouch either, and comparing it to 35mm full-frame DSLRs, it still holds its own rather well. It will be nice to see what kind of image improvements are under the hood of this one. By the way, with that kind of price for what is a camera with a sensor basically half as big as the 645 format, wouldn’t it be possible to get one that actually was full-frame similarly priced to the Hasselblad? now, that would be game-changing! Anyway, I really like the Pentax cameras. I was seriously considering splurging out on a 645D a...

Windows XP is dead. Long live Windows XP ‘Bliss’

Posted by on 15th, Apr, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Still use WinXP on my Thinkpad R52 (Pentium m 1.8Ghz + 2GB DDR2), mainly because I can’t get proper drivers for its display adapter in Win7. And then some, I use WinXP SP3 32bit for my desktop PC (AMD X2 3Ghz w/ 4GB of RAM) too.Indeed I lost about half gigabyte of RAM. Why is that? Well, I do love simple UI and it simply works for me, to make or change file association, file search features, drivers, etc.Currently most of the time the machine would run Photoshop CS6 with latest compatible ACR & DNG converter. I have no problem (yet)...

Object of desire? Our Fujifilm X-T1 in-depth review

Posted by on 15th, Apr, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Great review, really enjoyed that, thanks! However I am struggling to understand how, in The Final Word, the Fuji is compared with 5 cameras, yet four out of five or 80% of these are not even in the same category, according to the Compare mode tool. As the line between camera classes/categories become increasingly blurred, is this evidence that the Compare mode tool and it’s categories are becoming redundant? In this instance comparing to the demonstrably out-of-date 7D and E30 is just silly. The Editor’s own differing choice of...
