The Mystery Is Resolved: A Story Of Muffin Crumbs, Shady Characters And Invisible Letters By Vitaly Friedman March 31st, 2014 Books, Events 2 Comments We’ve all been there, haven’t we? You find yourself in a coffee shop abroad, sipping cappuccino and chomping a muffin as you realize that your laptop’s battery charge is just about to crush your creative session to dust. Well, perhaps you’ve got your power adapter with you but, of course, it isn’t the right one for foreign power sockets. So...

The YN-560-III is a great all around manually triggered flash that you can use to get started or if you are using Scott Hargis’s Lighting Interiors manual flash technique. For details see Lighting Interiors e-book or Scott’s Lighting Video series. The YN-560-III that was introduced in January of 2013 is a slight refinement of the YN-560-II that has a built-in 2.4Ghz trigger compatible with the RF602/603 triggers. That is, when you are using Scott’s manual flash system you need to trigger at least one flash wirelessly if you are going...
read moreTips for Photographing Auto Racing
A Post By: Jim Wise “Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.†– to quote Michael Delaney (played by Steve McQueen) in the movie ‘LeMans’. You don’t have to be a race car driver to feel the adrenaline rush that is auto racing. Being a photographer, and being part of the action can also be very exciting and a lot of fun. There are a number of different types of racing such as sports cars, stock cars, rally cars, open wheel cars and even your local short track cars that might race on dirt or asphalt....
read moreIs it REALLY the Gear?
A Post By: Rick Berk EOS-1D X with EF 200-400 f/4L IS USM +1.4x Extender. 1/1000, f/5.6, ISO 800. Recently, I’ve noticed some comments from readers who seem to feel that the gear I use for my shots is the reason I get the images I do. They seem to feel that similar results cannot be achieved using consumer level gear. True, I use some top-of-the-line gear, and there are many reasons for that. But rare is the shot that I was able to get with an EOS-1D X or 5D Mark III that I could not also get with a Rebel T5i. So that begs the question: why...
read moreOlympus updates OM-D E-M1 with electronic first curtain ‘anti-shock’
So, Olympus, this is admission that there is a shutter shock problem with the E-M1? Good to know that there is a solution for the E-M1. Could it not be used to fix the E-P5, which is by all account ruined by a more severe shutter shock problem. And, shouldn’t it be used for the E-M5 and also all future OM-D cameras, if not all Olympus cameras? Let us have the firmware updates for the other cameras, Olympus. I think Olympus is changing. Lens hoods for the 12-40mm and then the 25mm f/1.8 lenses. Firmware updates that actually provide...
read moreOlympus brings PEN style and 5-axis IS to Stylus SH-1 travel zoom
The Olympus Stylus SH-1 may look like a PEN mirrorless camera, but it’s actually a compact travel zoom. But it has inherited a pretty big feature from the PEN: 5-axis image stabilization. Other features of note include a 16MP BSI-CMOS sensor, 25-600mm equiv. F3.0-6.9 lens, touchscreen 3″ LCD, limited manual control, 1080/60p video, and built-in Wi-Fi. It will be available in May in black, white, and silver for under $400. Jump to: Press Release Specifications Press Release: SMART, SLEEK AND STEADY: OLYMPUS STYLUS SH-1 IS WORLD’S...
read moreShockproof flagship: Olympus ‘drops’ new Tough TG-3
Olympus has announced the Tough TG-3, which takes its place as the flagship in the company’s rugged camera lineup. The TG-3 features a 16MP BSI-CMOS sensor and 25-100mm equiv. F2.0-4.9 zoom lens with IS, plus a 3-inch LCD (which should hopefully perform better than the OLED display on its predecessor), limited manual controls, GPS (with landmarks and e-compass), and Wi-Fi. An interesting new feature is focus stacking, which takes a series of photos to simulate greater depth-of-field. The Tough TG-3 is waterproof to 15m/50ft, shockproof...

A Post By: Andrew S. Gibson In previous articles you learned: how to create a photo website using the Koken plug-in for Lightroom, how to use The Fader plug-in to add an opacity slider to Develop Presets, and how to upload photos to 500px using their own plug-in (scroll down to read that section). Today I’d like to look at some other Lightroom plug-ins you may find useful. To clarify, I’m referring to plug-ins that add extra functionality to Lightroom by enabling you to do things with finished photos. Not programs such as those made by...

read moreNikon to offer D600 replacements if ‘spots’ continue
This entire debacle is a big missed opportunity for Nikon. In the end, they’re having to do what should have been done in the first place anyway, but now it’s perceived as a negative, with them grudgingly providing customer support because they’ve been forced into it, and every time someone reads a story about it, it reminds them of the negativity. Had they been proactive, and as soon as the issue was discovered, offered free maintenance/replacement/upgrading to all D600 owners, it would have been less costly for them, and...

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.
