The folks at Daytripper Photo recently decided to find out what happens when you microwave a DSLR camera in the name of science. The 11-minute video above documents how the Nikon D60 and 18-135mm lens fared (spoiler: not well). The camera was placed in a microwave sitting out in the middle of a grassy yard.

After 5 minutes in the microwave, portions of the DSLR were beginning to melt. The LCD screen on the back had melted and things were falling apart in the grip area. After several more minutes of being bombarded with microwaves, most of the DSLR’s plastic had melted away, exposing the electronics within. The lens fared well, though.

Here are some photos showing what the Nikon D60 and lens looked like. Looking for exceptionally dark skies in the United States? It seems Idaho is the place to visit.

A large patch of land in central Idaho has just been designated the first International Dark Sky Reserve in the country, and it’s one of only 12 such reserves on Earth. The designation was announced this week by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), which picked an area spanning 1,400 square miles (3,600 square km) from Ketchum/Sun Valley to Stanley. The reserve becomes the 3rd largest of the 12 reserves. IDA says that the designation comes after two decades of Idahoans working to limit light pollution on the region’s environment. Becoming a reserve will further help the area combat the use of. I purchased the new Sony a7R III last week as an upgrade to my a7R II. I’ve used my a7R II in hundreds of shoots over the last year and it has always given me amazing results, but I’ve had one major issue with the camera: tethering speed.

I shoot for magazines and clients. I make it a point to tether my camera to my Microsoft Surface tablet so the clients can see what I am shooting as I do my work. Using Capture One, I can even have settings apply to each image as I shoot them so the client can have a more realistic view of the final image look. But my issue was, when shooting tethered, the Sony a7R II could only capture 22 images in a row before it got “buffered” and you had to wait for the. If you’d like to shoot studio portraits but don’t have access to an actual studio or pricey equipment, you can achieve beautiful results with a minimalist setup in a small room that’s bathed in natural window light. Here’s a 5-minute video by photographer Irene Rudnyk that shows this type of setup for a recent shoot. Rudnyk set up a backdrop in a room that has large bay windows.

She then had her model sit facing the window with her knees raised by cushions and dress held up by chairs. Rudnyk photographed the model from in front of the window, standing on a step ladder for a flattering high angle and slightly off to the side to avoid casting shadows on the subject.

In November, photographer Allison Joyce, working for Getty Images, spent time with several Rohingya families in crowded refugee camps in Bangladesh, as they prepared their young daughters for weddings, hoping to secure more food for them and their families. Joyce: “Early marriage is a common cultural practice within the Rohingya Muslim communities in Myanmar with child marriages being extremely common among the ethnic minority group. As over 620,000 Rohingya have fled their homes into neighboring Bangladesh since late August, food rations have reportedly been a major factor in the decision for families to marry off their children in the camps while UN officials warned that Rohingya children, especially.

In September, New Carlisle News photographer Andrew Grimm was shot by Clark County Sheriff's Deputy Jacob Shaw when the officer mistook Grimm's camera for a firearm. The incident, which was captured by Shaw's body camera, happened while Grimm was setting up his equipment to photograph Shaw, who was in the middle of a traffic stop. The body camera footage shows Grimm, who was shot in the chest and grazed in the shoulder, telling Shaw that he had both flashed his car lights and waved in order to alert the deputy to his presence. Shaw, who knew Grimm, was recorded by his camera saying, 'Andy, I'm sorry, brother. Listen, dude, you pulled that out like a gun out of the back of the Jeep. I thought it was a. The United States has established its very first International Dark-Sky Reserve—one of 12 found around the globe, and now third largest in the world.

The designation was granted to the Central Idaho Dark-Sky Reserve by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), which says the region offers 3600km² / 1400mi² of 'exceptional or distinguished quality of night sky, view of the stars and nocturnal environment.' The Central Idaho Dark-Sky Reserve IDA designation is a milestone for American conservation, not only protecting wildlife in the region from the negative effects of artificial light, but also giving visitors from around the world another place to view the pure night sky.

This blog post will be the final post with my Leica M Monochrom. This camera has served me well for the past five years.

It has traveled the world with me. But, I'm enjoying shooting the Leica M10 and ready to move on. I'll start posting some M10 images soon. More on why I'm changing in my last post. My friend Steve was in town from Taipei. Whenever he is in town, we always try to meet up. This time was no different.

We started off in Daikanyama. A fun place to walk around. Today's Configuration: Leica M Monochrom with a Summicron 28mm f/2.0 Daikanyama Stalogy. I've been noticing a lot of spots on my images when I am shooting at f/11+. I could really notice it when I am looking at the images large. I brought in both my Leica Monochrom and my Leica M9-P to Leica Ginza to have the sensors cleaned. My long time Leica customer service rep Naoki came out looking a bit concerned.

He informed me that both cameras sensors have significant corrosion on them. This is known problem for this Leica sensor.I have had this problem before and Leica replaced the sensors free of charge.

They offered to replace them again. Naoki also told me about a new program only at Leica Ginza for upgrading to the Leica SL and Leica M10.

Long story short they gave me a great deal to. Amazingly Japan has 17 public holidays. The way the holidays fall this year I end up with 6 long weekends this fall.

They have arranged them in such a way that you get a lot of long weekends. A few fall on Thursdays so you take Friday as a vacation day and get a 4 day weekend. This weekend happens to be one of them; 文化の日, or Culture Day was on Friday.

I didn't realize until the end of day on Thursday that Friday was a holiday. It was a nice surprise. I'm glad I'm not traveling much this fall so I can stay home with my family to enjoy them. I do have one last trip for the year. I'm going to go to Florida to visit my parents in early December.

I haven't seen them in two years so I'm. I looked at the images I've collected on my Monochrom after the past few weeks and they were all more or less of modes or places of transportation; Trains, Subways, Airplanes, Train Stations and Airports with very little scattered in between. That's the reality of business travel which I think is different than most people's image of it.

The photos understandable given the amount of travel I have been doing. I hope to have little travel for the rest of the year. I just checked my mileage status and I made Gold on United before dropping them as an Airline I use. I just can't support them anymore.

I was able to make Platinum on ANA in the latter half of the year. I was flying them anyways most of the. I just got back from recent trips to Ho Chi Minh City and Melbourne Australia. Both are places I haven't been to in a really long time. I was last in Ho Chi MInh was on a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia with my dad. It has changed and developed so much since that time. It has been even longer since I have been to Melbourne.I was pretty busy with work in Vietnam.

I got out for a short walk but it was so hot that I didn't stay out that long. I would struggle to be a street photographer in Vietnam. Today's Configuration: Leica M Monochrom with a Summilux 28mm f/2.0 Ho Chi Minh. Mavic Pro On the Way! Well, I broke down and bought a new Mavic Pro Quadcopter! I love my Phantom 4 Pro, but I also wanted not just a backup, but a device that I could quickly get up in the air.

The Eventful Landing Related to the story below Daily Photo – That time we lost a quadcopter Well, there was never really ONE time, there have been many. But this one, I can say honestly, was not my fault. We had the DJI Inspire up. It was an early demo model and we never really had great firmware for it.

We were going to fly towards the windmills, but about 2 minutes into the flight, we lost control. I mean, literally. We could not see it, but it was still broadcasting a live feed with GPS. It took another half hour, but apparently, it went about 10 miles away and landed itself perfectly. One strange thing, however, it landed right beside by a dead cow I assume the death of the cow was not related to. Venice Photo Tutorial Here’s A LINK to the video tutorial we made while in Venice.

Click here to read the Fujifilm X-E3 Field Test Part I Fujifilm's new X-E3 interchangeable lens camera costs under $1,000 for the body, and it includes the same image sensor and processor combination as is found in the flagship Fuji X-Pro2. That's an impressive combination for the price and in my time with the X-E3, the camera's prowess showed. The 24-megapixel sensor delivers high-quality images, and the camera body itself looks and feels great in the hand. The touchscreen display works well during shooting, although.

However, your choice of aspect ratio is very important for a variety of reasons. It affects how your image is presented and how your artistic vision is portrayed. Do you want a square crop for sharing your work on Instagram, or perhaps you want to replicate the large format photographers of yesteryear and opt for a 5:4 presentation?

Or maybe you want to stick with your camera's sensor and never waver. (read more) •. Over at COOPH, the founder Ulrich Grill has made a new video highlighting the most important aspect of any photo project or photoshoot. When he says 'aspect,' he means 'A.S.P.E.C.T.' What does each letter mean?

They are light, and convenient and cheap. But they don't have a ton of power.And the aggravating factor is the relationship between a small flash and a bright environment.

Which is, in turn, governed by our sync speed. And by this I mean our natural speed limit for flash, absent power-robbing gimmicks like high-speed sync (HSS).At a sync speed of 1/250th of a second, even at a low ISO, you are probably going to be at f/16 in full sun. That's a small aperture, which means your flash will be working hard to create a full exposure.Because of that, working in full sun with speedlights usually means we lack the power that we need. NOTE: Links to individual lessons are below.The Strobist lighting Cookbook is a practical manual for how to use your flashes. It's where lighting theory meets real world situations — and solutions. In this module, we will assume you have read Lighting 101 through Lighting 103.

You'll be able to find a solution set for yourself if, for example, you just own one light. The examples will be (mostly) speedlight-based, and grouped by the equipment it takes to make them.

After mentioning the Lodima Press Weston Anniversary Portfolio I bought myself as a Christmas present, I got a nice little note from Michael A.

Smith this morning: 'Paula and I have been so busy that we have neglected TOP. Today we received a number of orders because of Mike Johnston's announcement. Although the time is over for the the pre-publication price for the book of Edward Weston’s Fiftieth Anniversary Portfolio, which we have reproduced as closely as possible to a facsimile version of the original portfolio, we will keep the offer open through the end of this year. The only place we are announcing this is on TOP.

The book is available at www.lodima.org. Recently, the server of our web site was. It's a lovely morning here in the Finger Lakes.

She's eighteen years old and very pretty and, moreover, happy (why are all Mennonites so well-adjusted?

She keeps right at it, works straight through, never takes a break, so I never have to worry whether she's slacking off.

And she's better than. This was my Christmas present to myself. Having bought few photography books all year, I splurged and bought the deluxe slipcased edition of Edward Weston Fiftieth Anniversary Portfolio from Lodima Press.

It's a delicate, slender volume and absolutely wonderful—a virtual facsimile of the original, with the text from the original portfolio printed on the same kind of paper, and breathtaking reproductions. The deluxe edition is sold out but if you're interested you can still buy the hardcover direct from Lodima. I don't have any connection to this book whatsoever, except as a buyer of it. But speaking of connections to books, while you're on that page, do you remember that several years ago Michael A.

People with real authority in their fields offering to let you in on their secrets and tell you what they know. I mean really, Herbie Hancock teaching jazz and Helen Mirren teaching acting?

Kinda gets me verklempt. I enjoy the ads and always watch new ones to the end. I'm not recommending this per se, because I don't know anything about the organization or the classes.haven't taken one, haven't looked into it. But none other than Annie Leibovitz is teaching an online class in portraiture, and, well, wow. I don't know, but I think I'd pay $90 for that. I did quite enjoy her book At Work (now out of print.

Today only: Remember when I called the Fuji X-T1 Graphite 'One Good-Lookin' Camera'? Remember how it cost $300 more than the then-high-priced regular version of the X-T1? I think it was selling for $1,800. That was back in '14. Well, now you can get that very same camera, brand new, for $599. The X-T1 is no longer the latest thing, and it 'only' has 16 MP, etc., etc.but it's still a very nice camera, with excellent capabilities for general shooting and excellent files.

The Peak Design Capture Clip V3 is Peak Design's latest evolution of the original Capture Clip that helped them get famous off of Kickstarter. This latest version is a massive jump forward in many ways. Designed by a former Apple engineer, the Peak Design Capture Clip V3 is made mostly of a single piece of aluminum. When you look at it and feel it, it feels super slick. Plus it's smaller than previous versions.

And like the other Capture Clips, it's designed primarily to house your camera in a reliable place with little to no movement. During my testing, I found this to be the best Capture Clip yet in many ways.

But in other ways, I found it to be a pain for the landscape and adventure style photographer. You would not be thought down on if you had forgotten about Leica’s CCD-Gate problem with their M9 family of cameras and the CCD sensors that are housed within them.

Sandi Bertoncelj is a landscape and adventure photographer from Slovenia who shows absolutely stunning photographs. Step inside the world of Sandi Bertoncelj to learn what it is that makes him so good in his field.

1) Tell us about yourself, where are you from? How, when and why did you get into photography? I’m a mountain landscape and adventure photographer based in Slovenia. As long as I can remember I have had a passion for photography. I have been very fortunate to live in beautiful country, and been surrounded with some amazing places, which provides me with excellent opportunities to practice my interest in photography. Hi all an welcome to this Photoshop Tutorial were I’m going to show you how to create a cool but very simple landscape reflection scene. So if you have any images of mountain ranges that you took feel free to use them, in fact I encourage it.

I’ll be no doubt adding in some nice lighting effects as it’s winter here, covered in ice and snow I’m going to go the opposite way and create a nice uplifting scene that inspires hope and happiness, I’ll keep some of the elements of cold but I want the warmth to blast through giving us a rebirth of warm weather, so with all the technical Artsy drivel out of the way lets get to it and get creating our image! Ok so the scenario today is that we were out taking. Macro or close-up photography is one of the most interesting fields of photography, because you enter a new world when taking images of small thing, things that can’t be seen by the naked eye. Macro photography is an art for itself and it can take a bit of time and patience to master this kind of art, especially if you want to take photographs of tiny insect. Depending on your budget following lenses in this article will help you to get the macro image you want. Canon Mp-E If you are owning a Canon camera, one of the best lenses for extreme macros in my opinion is the Canon “Mp-E” Lens.

This specific lens is enormously sharp and is just perfect for low light conditions as its maximum aperture is. Hi all got an awesome Photoshop Tutorial for you today. So for today we’ll be creating an intense volcano scene using our own Photography or stock images which ever doesn’t matter. If you have your own shots then it would be cool to pick out a nice mountain scene that you can transform into making a magnificent scene with an erupting volcano.

The image that I’m going to be using today will be this mountain scene. I chose this one because I liked the look of the desolate landscape/lone Vehicle and thought with a volcano it would be a moving image. First thing I’m going to do is to create a Duplicate layer, I always do this even if at the end I never actually needed it just in case.

I don’t want to create. Welcome to another episode of Photographer Spotlight, this time I’d like to welcome Danilo Faria, an incredibly gifted photographer from America, who shows absolutely breathtaking landscape pictures.

Read the Interview to learn more about Danilo, his camera equipment, techniques and landscape photography in general. 1) Tell us about yourself, where are you from?

How, when and why did you get into photography? I was born and grew up in Minas Gerais – Brazil, which is where my love for photography began, but I have been living in the US for over 17 years now. As a child, my dad and I would take pictures on vacation with his simple “point and shoot” Kodak camera. Back then that is all we had-equipment. (video by Marques Brownlee)Have you ever wondered how a smartphone's shallow focus or 'portrait mode' worked? Or if it can really stack up to an $8,000 camera?Well, that's what Marques Brownlee tried to figure out.

So, he pitted the iPhone X, Note 8 and Pixel 2 against the $8000 (without a lens) Hasselblad X1D medium format camera. Smartphones can't naturally replicate the sharp focus in the foreground with a soft focus background simply because they have such small sensor and tiny wide angle lens. When phones added dual lenses a few generations ago it enabled them to mix the image from a telephoto and the wide angle, but they still need software assistance for maximum effect. Now, the lens on the. Augmented Reality apps or AR, have been around for a few years, but they've mostly been static, meaning you have to remain still while shooting something to a lovable character from fiction to your photo or video. Well it's good enough to fool your grandparent into thinking you spent Christmas shooting a film with a bunch of people in costumes. The way the camera is able to track the motion and angle and match the sticker is incredible. I know it's a promotional video and everything always looks better in promotional videos, but this is really promising. They also launched STRANGER THINGS AR stickers, but those look old Nintendo Wii avatars crawled out of the past and into your phone.See.

(Lytro Living Picture with adjustable focus AFTER image is taken. Photo by LYTRO)In 2012 Ren Ng set out to change the way you take pictures by releasing his original Lytro Cameras.They were available in either 8GB or 16GB and offered the promise of always getting the image that you want by not having to focus. Its concept was revolutionary. According to VERGE:'Lytro's cameras worked thanks to something called light field photography, where individual rays of light are captured along with data that describe where they came from in 3D space. This allowed Lytro to build software (on the desktop, on the web, and on the cameras themselves) that used all this information in novel ways, like changing the focal. Thingyfy, the company that brought you the first multi-aperture Pinhole lens (it actually has no lens at all, hence the pinhole part of the equation) is back with a wide angle offering.

But there's actually so much more. The original Pinhole pro medium lens was a huge success, allowing people to take creepy pinhole images whenever they wanted. From their website: Pinhole photography has long held a vintage and DIY aesthetic, discountedby many perhaps because of the breakthroughs in optics since its creation. But there is still room for this simple, elegant implementation in contemporary photography. The pinhole lens embodies a foundational concept in photography- the camera obscura. The images it.

Craig Oppenheimer, Wonderful Machine Just as often as I consult with photographers when they need pricing and negotiation support, I work closely with agencies to oversee projects from initial photographer recommendations through production and retouching. This experience on both sides of productions has allowed me to thoroughly understand what clients are looking for, and many times it’s the photographer’s personality and ability to be a problem solver that lands them the gig. While a photographer’s portfolio and body of work will get them to the point of consideration by a client for a given project, they can articulate their experience and ability to add value to the production that will help them.

So far Nikon has not scheduled any press conference during the media days of the 2018 CES show that will start on January 9th in Las Vegas. While other companies like Panasonic and Sony have already reserved their CES press events, I could not find any reference for Nikon: In the past few years, the CES show has been the place where Nikon introduced their flagship cameras (D4, D5, the D4s was announced at the CP+ show). As I already reported, I have not seen any reliable indications that there will be a new Nikon D5s DSLR camera announced in January but all this may still change in the next 3 weeks. Of course the big hope/surprise will be to see any reference to the new Nikon mirrorless.

I’ve heard it. You’ve heard it. And it’s a great big steaming pile ofbaloney. Myth – Professionals Only Shoot in Manual Mode I recently read an account of a new photographer who heard that “expert” photographers only shoot in manual mode, so he headed out to shoot. Camera firmly set to M, he shot away, happy as could be. However, the results from that first exploration were, needless to say, disappointing; overexposures, under-exposures, and a lot of crappy, blurred photos. I had about 10 seconds to make this image of a grove of Baobabs in Botswana.

Had I been fiddling with finding the right manual settings, I likely would have missed the shot. Here is the reality: Professionals and other. You’ve got a perfect macro subject, the perfect angle, and the perfect composition. You’ve checked your focus, and it’s spot on. Your finger hovers over the shutter button.

One quick press, and you’ll have the shot. It’s all there before youright? There’s one more thing that I’d urge you to check before you shoot – and that is the background. See, while subject, lighting, and setup matter a great deal in macro photography, the background matters too, far more than people often realize. This is quite understandable; it’s the background. As long as you’ve got the perfect subject, why worry?

But when it comes to macro photography, the background can make or break a shot. You’re often working with. The use of lens filters can transform your photograph completely, as it allows you to go beyond the usual and explore something creative with your gear. Among multiple filters, a circular polarizing filter (CPL) is one such creative tool using which you can enhance the final photo that appears on your camera LCD screen. A circular polarizing filter is a landscape photographer’s best camera accessory as it allows you to capture vividness and contrast in a photo. I have even used it to capture cityscapes and trust me it completely changes the image once you have it mounted on your camera lens.

Having said that, let me take you through detailed uses of a CPL filter. CPL Filter Enhances the Sky Color One of. One of the most powerful new filters in Luminar 2018 is the RAW Develop Filter.

RAW files, straight out of the camera, appear flat and boring, but with capable RAW conversion software like Luminar 2018, you can transform the RAW data into a detailed and vibrant photograph. Luminar 2018’s RAW handling has seen significant improvements over previous versions. It performs faster and the tools in the RAW Develop Filter reveal additional details in the highlights and shadows, display more accurate color, and reduce noise.

The latest APS-C DSLR from Nikon, the D7500 is a semi-professional offering with image sensor taken from the flagship D500. This ensures top-most image-quality in its class at much lower price given that it has a 51-point AF system and 8 FPS drive, instead of the 153-Points and 10 FPS, as on the D500. Still, the Nikon D7500 is a fully capable and feature-rich DSLR with a weatherproof body, dual control-dials and plenty of controls. An in-depth review of the Nikon D7500 was just publised at Neocamera. Read on to find out how the D7500 performs and compares to both its predecessor, the D7200, and the flagship D500. The Fujifilm X-E3 is a compact mirrorless digital camera with unique twist on the rangefinder design.

It houses a 24 megapixels X-Trans CMOS III sensor with built-in 325-Point Autofocus system. This mirrorless can record 4K Ultra-HD video at 30 FPS and shoot continuously at up to 14 FPS using an Electronic-Shutter or 8 FPS with a Mechanical-Shutter. The body of the X-E3 has been shrunk compared to the X-E2 that precedes it by removing the 4-way controller on the back, leaving only a focus joystick to navigate the menu system. This makes using the X-E3 completely different than any other digital camera, although it maintains efficient controls with dual control-dials, a dedicated shutter-speed dial and an.

The Panasonic Lumix GX850 is the smallest Micro Four-Thirds mirrorless camera on the market. This mirrorless packs a 16 megapixels CMOS sensor with high-speed output that is capable of filming 4K Ultra-HD video and take 30 FPS bursts at 4K resolution. Its hybrid shutter covers a broad 1/16000s to 60s range and is capable of completely silent shooting. Panasonic Lumix GX850 Review A review of the Panasonic Lumix GX850 was just published at Neocamera. This review goes over the capabilities, usability and performance of this compact mirrorless camera. As always, a gallery of full-resolution images at every ISO is available for readers to evaluate the image-quality of the Panasonic GX850.

Olympus has been quite ambitious this year. Their latest flagship camera was introduced to push the performance boundaries of mirrorless digital camera and they succeeded in producing one of the most promising camera on the market, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II. This high-end mirrorless is built around a 20 megapixels CMOS sensor captable of recording 4K video.

This new sensor delivers an unprecedented through put with burst rates of up to 60 FPS and incorporates Phase-Detect autofocus at 121 points. This autofocus system manages to keep up with action at up to 18 FPS, an unprecedented level for a Micro Four-Thirds camera or even a DSLR.

Andy Ilachinski PhotographyAfter a summer/fall filled with a major personal loss (my mom, who passed away in Sep), a kitchen renovation (that necessitated a several month long stay at a hotel to get away from dust and noise), intense weekend-long musing/writing sessions to stow away a cache of material to prepare for the on-line photography workshop I led in Oct/Nov (which I enjoyed thoroughly; see previous blog entry), and new 'day job' duties (that include weekly podcasts on artificial intelligence), I have much catching up to do on this blog.

'Be still with yourself until the objectof your attention affirms your presence.' - Minor White (1908 - 1976)This is an update on (along with a few more details about) my upcoming Shanti Arts sponsored 'Cultivating the Art of Simplicity in Photography' online workshop (scheduled for Sep 11 - Oct 23).

I just learned that the 8th and last available slot has been taken. For for those of you who have signed up - thank you! - and I look forward to meeting you all (virtually), and engaging in what I hope will be a fun and stimulating couple weeks' worth of discussions and picture making:-) For those of you who wanted to participate, but were unable to sign up on time, I am sure there will be future. 'We do not see things as they are,we see things as we are.' - Anais Nin (1903 - 1977)For those of you not immediately put off by the (seeming absurdity) of a 'complexicologist' (one who studies 'complex systems' for a living, which is what my physics Ph.D. Has opened the door for me to do during the times I'm not wandering around with my camera) leading an on-line workshop on 'simplicity' in photography, I'd like to announce that that is precisely what I will be doing from September 11 to October 23 under the kind auspices of Shanti Arts.

The title of the workshop is 'Your Inner Gift: Cultivating the Art of Simplicity in Photography,' and you can read a summary of it here.Though details are still to be. 'Science is a second-order expression [of the world]. Science has not and never will have by its nature the same significance qua form of being as the world which we perceive, for the simple reason that it is a rationale or explanation of the world. Scientific points of view according to which my existence is a moment of the world's are always both naive and at the same time dishonest, because they take for granted without explicitly mentioning it, the other point of view, namely that of consciousness, through which from the outset a world forms itself round me and exists for me. To return to things themselves is to return to that world which precedes knowledge, of which knowledge always speaks and in.

'The beauty in the genome is of course that it's so small. The human genome is only on the order of a gigabyte of data.which is a tiny little database. If you take the entire living biosphere, that's the assemblage of 20 million species or so that constitute all the living creatures on the planet, and you have a genome for every species the total is still about one petabyte, that's a million gigabytes - that's still very small compared with Google or the Wikipedia and it's a database that you can easily put in a small room, easily transmit from one place to another. And somehow mother nature manages to create this incredible biosphere, to create this incredibly rich environment of animals and plants with. While those pre-built collections in the Catalog panel (from last week) are all very useful in their own way there is another level of user-driven collections that you can leverage to fit your organizational needs.

This is where the Collections panel comes into play. The Collections Panel There are three types of collection tools found here: • Collection Sets – used for providing organizational structure • Collections – used for manually gathering up photos in various groupings • Smart Collections – a type of saved search that automatically finds photos matching specific criteria Collection sets can only contain collections, smart collections, or other collection sets, which is why they are.

In my recent posts about the Folders panel a request was made to do a similar deep dive into collections, which I thought was a great idea since they are both used for organizational purposes, but are very different in nature. In the first part of this series I’m going to take a closer look at the often overlooked Catalog panel.

A key piece of data stored in the Lr Classic catalog is the location of each imported photo on your system, stored as a path, from the volume name (PC: drive letter) to the individual file name and all the folders in between (this is part of what we see in the Folders panel). This allows Lightroom to reference where each photo is stored, and when needed for working in Develop.

It’s new Lightroom features day! (whoo hoo!) We’ll start with Lightroom Classic version 7.1 update (it gets two new features, plus some new camera and tethering support). Here we go: (1) Feature #1 is a totally new reimagined “Auto” tone feature, with Adobe Sensei technology under the hood which analyzes your photo and then compares it to one of thousands of professionally edited images in its database, and it uses that info to create a better automatic adjustment for your image. In the tests I’ve done, overall the results are much, much better than the Auto button has ever delivered before (Note: it’s no longer called the “Auto Tone” button or feature — now it’s called “Auto Settings” because it goes. Marketings is a necessity within any profession. But some professions have a harder time of it than others. Photographers face some unique marketing challenges.

One of the most significant issues is the visual nature of photography. High quality visual marketing wasn’t very feasible until quite recently.

One of the most important reasons that it’s an marketing tools for photographers. Quite a few elements come into play when creating a great portrait.

Photography as a hobby can be a great way to express yourself, can be a rewarding experience, and in some cases can be a lucrative path to a successful career. For the most part, when you first start your photography venture, a camera, a memory card for your DSLR, and a single lens is a good way to begin. You can practice your newfound skill before you move on to adding to your photography bag of tricks and expanding your choices.

Understanding how to manipulate depth of field in photography to focus and enhance the subject of a photograph is as essential to the art form as finding the light.

The depth of field surrounding the subject of a photograph can be used as a spotlight to focus the viewer’s eyes of a classic portrait shot. The wide, large depth of field used in landscape shots serves to emphasize the scene’s great breadth. Read on to find useful information on identifying depth of field in photography and what factors can affect its size. What Is Depth of Field in Photography?

‘Depth of Field’ refers to the zone between the closest and farthest objects in a photograph that still appear acceptably sharp. The Back Story If you’ve ever wondered how pro photographers capture great photos with their phone, I have something for you.

What You’ll Learn Using natural light to capture indoor and outdoor portraits Simple posing and light considerations for kids, adults, families or group photos Techniques for capturing those fleeting, candid moments Simple tricks for capturing great action photos of fast-moving subjects Tips for capturing gorgeous landscape and cityscape photos in different lighting conditions Utilizing the newest features to capture gorgeous 4k video. Ryan Hoover is most notably known as the founder of the website that brings you all the world’s newest products and technologies, Product Hunt. He’s also a writer and founder of his new VC firm, Weekend Fund which he admits he started because he’s constantly chasing the warm fuzzy feelings he gets from helping other people. Some call him Silicon Valley’s “resident nice guy” and it won’t take you long to figure out why. Ryan sees more product launches than perhaps anyone else in the world and knows how to do it well and how to do it poorly.

He shares his insights for his path of launching (and continuing to launch) Product Hunt and what he notices in the 100’s of launches that make it to his. Mobile gimbals aren’t a new thing, but the new Freefly Movi is mobile cinema reimagined. We were lucky to get a hands-on preview on a pre-release unit and it’s sexy. I’ve worked with Tabb, CEO of Freefly Systems, for over a decade – before drone was a trendy buzzword. Freefly builds first-in-class stabilizers used on multimillion-dollar film sets like Game of Thrones, Wolf on Wallstreet, Alien, Baby Driver and more. Now, they’ve basically took that knowledge and craft and shrunk it into a mobile size device.

The result is stunning. Maltego 3 4 0 Crack Cocaine here. Here are my first impressions — more to come as we get some time shooting with it. Form Factor – I’ve always found the stick gimbals a bit awkward to use. They are top heavy.

If there’s anyone qualified to lay out the blueprint for dreaming big, living life on your own terms and turning your passions into your career, it’s the iconic Sir Richard Branson. He’s fearlessly and boldly disrupted one industry after another as the founder of the Virgin Group, from publishing to airlines to creating Virgin Galactic (the world’s first commercial spaceliner), building an empire of more than 100 companies and 60,000 employees in over 50 countries. Drawing threads from his new book, Finding My Virginity, we talk about some of his recent projects as well as the steps he took to get from one stepping stone to the next. Sit down with Sir Richard and I as he uses stories to break down.

This is an amazing 15 minute mini-documentary highlights the life of internationally acclaimed sports photographer, David Katz. Specifically, it highlights the fact that he’s been legally blind since birth, being diagnosed at only three months old with ocular albinism. It’s a genetic condition characterised by a lack of pigmentation in the iris.

Albert Theuwissen's IEEE webinar 'Noise: You Love It or You Hate It' to be held on January 24, 2018 10:00am EST, will focus on the various noise sources present in a CMOS image sensor. A CMOS image sensor is a great example of a mixed-signal circuit: the analog pixel array is driven by digital control signals. The analog output signal generated by the pixel array, goes through a denoising step in the analog domain before being converted to the digital domain.

So it should not be surprising that a CMOS image sensor is a complex collection of different noise sources.This webinar will address the most important noise sources in a CMOS image sensor, from temporal noise to spatial noise. The origin of those. TechInsights image sensor Senior Technical Analyst Ray Fontaine posts 'Image Sensor Technology: Noteworthy Developments in 2017.' The short article includes a lot of information:'A noteworthy twist on Bayer RGB is Samsung’s TetraCell and OmniVision’s 4-Cell strategy for high resolution front-facing cameras. This strategy enables in-pixel binning for greater sensitivity (with lower resolution) for low-lit scenes.as we end 2017 we are happy to announce we have found 0.9 µm generation pixels in mass production!we are tracking new types of associated autofocus (AF) systems, including: laser-assist, lossless phase detection autofocus (PDAF) in 1.0 µm telephoto camera chips, new types of masked PDAF. After announcing development of BSI ToF sensor half a year ago, Sony announces the release of 1/2-inch VGA IMX456QL product, with samples shipments planned for April 2018.

The pixel size is about 10um.' While conventional ToF sensor has difficulty in measuring far distance of approximately 10 meters, the new product comes with a sensitivity raising mode, enabling distance measurement with a high rate of detection at these distances. It is also possible to capture high-precision depth maps in a VGA resolution at close distances of approximately 30 centimeters to 1 meter. Additionally, because this sensor captures depth maps for each frame, it enables image capture at a higher frame rate than when using a. We see the world in images and words. Photographs should be able to speak for themselves, but when you have the right words too, embrace them.

They allow for more depth, nuance, and gravity. There is nothing I can say that will come close to this though, so these words I share today aren’t mine. Francis’ own, in his profoundly moving letter to Maui: “Relationships aren’t supposed to be easy, and ours certainly wasn’t an easy ride. We probably got together at the worst possible point in our lives, but I will always be thankful that we did. The past seven years have taught me to never take things for granted, and to cherish every moment. Thank you for teaching me that love is. I’ve been following Amber of @amommabroad on Instagram for over two years now.

She blogs on A Momma Abroad as well, and probably knows Manila better than most of us locals do. I’ve been seeing her IG updates for so long that I kind of felt like I already knew her going in.

I knew her boys were adorable, but apparently, I had no idea how much. The energy in their house is something else.

Jeff and I have one active little boy. They have THREE. Amber calls it a circus affectionately.

Joyous shrieks and laughter fill the space. I ate it all up, and I think I had hearts in my eyes the entire time.

I would have followed little Wells pretty much anywhere. The moment he spoke to me and introduced himself as. “And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.” ― The Chaos of Stars / Dom and Joyce were surrounded by overflowing love from family and friends last Saturday.

Jeff and I love shooting beautiful details, and there were plenty here, but we will always treasure genuine moments above everything else. This wedding had those in spades. Theirs is a quiet love that needs no fanfare. I asked Joyce how she knew Dom was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She said because he feels like home. ♥ Wedding preps: Raffles.

Abby was not allowed to have a boyfriend before she graduated college. She asked Brylle if he could wait.

A few years down the line, he moved to Singapore for work and asked her to move there with him. She chose to stay in Manila because her work was here, and she had promises to her family to keep. He understood, and waited again. After 9 years of being together, they tied the knot over the weekend. Twice, to be sure. They had two ceremonies — one Catholic and one Christian. Lots of laughter and love here, and pretty travel details to boot.

We had quick sunset portraits on a yacht afterwards. They mentioned they prayed really hard for good weather, and I joked that they may have overdone.

Things get stressful during the holiday season, but we don’t always want to ask for help. This is when our trusted friend coffee comes to the rescue. Coffee is better than the self help book we don’t have time to read, because we can digest it in 5 minutes and feel completely better! A #CoffeeBreak is the ultimate under appreciated pick me up. The Flickr community team thinks it’s time to honor the superior hero this Flickr Friday– thank you, our dearest coffee.

We’re not incredibly sure how this photographer managed to make a coffee pot look like a demonic transformer, but we appreciate it. We’re also taking notice of this dramatic theme of contrast! Even these photographs of coffee are tasteful. Flickr headquarters is prone to the infamous NorCal winter, which means we’ve been waiting for this #DecemberRain for a long time!

This week’s Flickr Friday theme is celebrating all of the #DecemberRain in San Francisco and around the world. Luckily, as seen through these photos, our FlickrFam around the world has a different story to tell! Check out the rain, snow, ice, and December feels that are captured in the magnificent photos below. Remember folks, your photos don’t have to follow the theme of the week in precise detail. As long as it’s relatively similar and it’s well crafted, it’s fine by us!

Frozen rain counts. Although dreamy California was nothing like the photo above this week, we can. Flickr is a global community of photographers from almost every country in the world, so following up on our announcement of the Top-25 overall images on Flickr in 2017, we wanted to give you a closer look at the most popular photos from various nations and territories like the United States, Germany, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Brazil.

In the future, I will be hosting mini-sessions and all profits will go towards the adoption. In the meantime, though, we’re doing Valentine’s Day themed fundraiser at the YMCA in Freehold, New Jersey. Each 15-minute session is by donation, and they all include photo downloads for Facebook. Prints will be available, and proceeds go towards the adoption as well. If you want a family portrait, a couple portrait or any portrait for Valentine’s Day, then please consider reserving a time slot for the fundraiser.

The fundraiser is on February 3rd, 2018. Click here for more information and to. My friends at Spider Holster asked me two questions. In this video, I answer them. I hope you’ll record a video and share your answers too. What I’m most thankful for from 2017 is the love and support my family has received for our adoption journey, and for another incredible year watching my daughter grow. Photographically I’m thankful for innovations in the industry from Spider Holster, and with cameras.

What I’m most excited for in 2018 is possibly another child and another year of watching my daughter grow. Photographically I’m excited to see what other innovations pop up.

If the Nikon D850 and the Sony A7R III are any indications, the future will be impressive. Lastly, for 2018 I’m extremely.

When you build a tribe of followers and they turn their loyalty into supporting your creative endeavors, both they and you win. This is the central premise of Pete Mosley‘s forthcoming guide book about fostering a loyal audience for your creative business. Who Is Pete Mosley? Pete Mosley, is a writer, speaker, and coach based in the East Midlands, in the United Kingdom.

His first book – ‘Make Your Creativity Pay‘, was published in July 2011. The second – ‘The Art of Shouting Quietly – a guide to self-promotion for introverts and other quiet souls', was published April 2015 and is now. Who Is Zack Arias? Zack Arias is a portrait photographer based in Atlanta, Georgia. A little over ten years ago, he began offering off-camera lighting workshops around the US that he called OneLight Workshops.

Hundreds of photographers now know not to fear off-camera flashes, but embrace them because of Zack. I am one of them. I was at Zack's Boston and New York workshops and let me tell you that he does not hold back on anything. He approaches his teaching with just as much humility and grace as he does his photography projects and commissions. The truth is he doesn't have to teach, but he wants to.

He is incredibly generous with his time during the workshops, and I remember him starting early and ending. Marketog For Photographers You may recall I wrote about Marketog back in January 2016. So many of you jumped in enrolled when Jamie Swanson of The Modern Tog, opened up her marketing course for photographers. Since then, Jamie has developed an awesome community and helped hundreds (if not thousands) of photographers through her other courses, her Facebook forums, and her many ebooks she has shared for free. On September 25th, Jamie is kicking of the very last time she will be teaching through Marketog. Retiring the course wasn't an easy decision, but Jamie is clear on making it available one last time before 2017 comes to a close.

Her heart and her enthusiasm hasn't waned one bit. She is just as thrilled to. The Compelling Frame If you caught yesterday's Apple announcement about the new iPhones launching soon, you'll know the advances in technology are truly stupendous. We are most definitely in the midst of a golden age in the visual arts. Technology is making it possible to create billions of photographs every day. Yet, world and humanitarian photographer, David duChemin believes the majority of the images produced on a daily bases fall short because they lack soul. In other words, the photographs we mass produce are not compelling enough.

The photographs we see today often don't stop us in our tracks or stir our curiosity or evoke an emotion. They tend to be much of the same trite look at our beautiful and. Photo by Steve BerardiAt this time of year, it’s common for us to reflect on the past year: what we accomplished, what we wished to accomplish, etc.

It’s also the time we start thinking about what we want to accomplish in the new year. I always like to create a list of goals at the beginning of each year, and check in on those goals throughout the year. But, I’ve never really set any photography-specific goals before.

So, for next year, I’m trying something new: for each month, I’m thinking of a specific image I want to create that month. For example, for January I want to create a black and white image of a creosote bush (a common plant in the California deserts): either an image showing one of. Photo by Steve BerardiIn a previous post, I talked about why you should periodically review old photos. In the post, I specifically referred to photos that you originally overlooked and didn’t think were “good enough” to process and share. Well, I’ve recently realized how valuable it can be to also review all your photos that made it to the “good” pile, especially concentrating on your favorite images. Once we take a photo we’re proud of and post-process it and share it online or print it, we usually stop thinking about it. But, I think it’s really helpful to review these photos periodically for a variety of reasons.

Here are some things to think about when reviewing your old favorites: 1. Photo by Steve BerardiA starburst is when a light source (such as the sun) appears as a burst in an image, like in the photo above. Notice how there are a bunch of sharp light rays coming from the sun.

Starbursts are a nice dramatic effect you can add to your backlit photos. They’re also a nice way to add leading lines to your image, to help direct the viewer’s attention. For example, in the image above I purposely captured the starburst in the center of the frame to help direct the viewer’s eye outwards equally in all directions.

So how do you capture these wonderful things? Well, luckily it’s pretty easy: 1. Use a very small aperture (f/16 or smaller) As you use a smaller aperture, the. Mojave Desert / Photo by Steve BerardiLast week, I visited the Cleveland Museum of Art. I didn’t look at any photographs there, but I’ve always been inspired by all types of artists—not just photographers. There was one artist in particular who’s work I really enjoyed: Frederic Edwin Church, who painted American landscapes in the 1800s.

There was one painting of his that really moved me: Twilight In the Wilderness. The painting depicts a sunset over wilderness near Mount Katahdin in Maine, and was painted in 1860. The painting itself is beautiful. I love grand vistas that look down into a wilderness—they help remind me of how insignificant we all are (in a good way!), one of my favorite things. Back in 2009, I wrote an article about the pros and cons of shooting in RAW vs JPEG.

My basic conclusion of the article was that it usually makes sense to shoot in RAW, except for wildlife when you need to shoot a lot of images in a burst. Like many things in life, as I’ve learned more and gained more experience with photography, my thoughts on RAW vs JPEG have changed. Now, I really appreciate the freedom you get with shooting in JPEG. What do I mean by that?

Well, there’s two things about RAW files that have increasingly bothered me over the years: the filesizes are much bigger (especially as megapixel counts increase), and not all software supports the latest RAW formats. The larger file sizes means. We have ideas on what our next products would be.

Some of them are already in motion and some are not. One of our ideas is related to booking troubles that we have faced as photographers.

So we’re wondering what troubles you have faced, to see if the product idea is worth pursuing. Please comment and share some of the struggles you face while trying to book photography clients.

Feel free to include stories about the clients (keep names off of it) and difficulties with booking software and desires you have for such software. The post Tell us about your booking struggles appeared first on Photocrati. Image optimization takes on multiple tasks: Compression Resizing EXIF Stripping or Retaining Search Engine Optimization We want to touch on the first three on that list. But there are so many image optimization plugins available for WordPress. So we spent a month churning through all the most popular plugins to share a comprehensive comparison. We published this comparison on the Imagely blog. Please head over to the article to see what image optimization plugin works best for your photography website.

The post Best Image Optimization WordPress Plugins appeared first on Photocrati. We came across a question that was perfect for the Photocrati community. It went something like this: “What plugins do you recommend for selling things other than photos? For example, I want to sell gift certificates for the holidays and make it easy to order online.” There are multiple ways you can offer gift certificates to your customers. Simple The first, simplest, and our personal favorite is a simple contact form with an e-commerce option. There are multiple contact form plugins offering e-commerce options, like Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms and more. The goal here is to have a simple form, asking for all the information you would need to send the gift certificate to the giftee.

With these plugins, you. A season of unpredictable weather, freezing hands, and few photoshoots. A season when clients are less eager to pose for hours. A season that, though graceful in appearance, gets under our skin and makes us feel blue. A season that’s almost here.

Despite winter’s inconvenient temperatures, it can become a valuable time of year for photographers. Just because it’s snowing outside doesn’t mean you can’t have comfortable photoshoots. Just because you need to wear several layers of clothes doesn’t mean your clients will refuse to work with you.

Regardless of the weather, you have everything you need to beat the winter blues. Here’s how you can do this. First, Take Care of Yourself Sometimes, it’s. Each and every one of us was once a teenager who did embarrassing things and felt insecure. Our adolescent years overflowed with angst, infatuation, boredom, curiosity, and emotions we couldn’t really understand. In a nutshell, it was a roller coaster of an experience, a wild ride that had a significant impact on our older selves.

Mood swings and uncertainty can make teenagers feel self-conscious about themselves. This might compel them to avoid photographers altogether. The fear of looking awkward in photos forces young people to take photos with people in their close circle only. This, of course, makes it much harder for photographers to communicate with them. When you do get the chance to photograph a.

Also, it has an optical viewfinder with 95% coverage and a magnification. The gorgeous autumn months are almost over. At the end of every season, photographers review their portfolios, reminisce, and find beautiful outtakes they didn’t notice before. These outtakes may have been overlooked because of their desaturated colors, lack of light, or uneven horizons.

If you can relate to this dilemma, don’t throw those photos away! Whatever drew you to those images – an interesting composition, a graceful pose, or a striking expression – can be enhanced in a way that overshadows the photos’ flaws.

This tutorial will show you how to enhance autumnal photos and make them look as magical as the season is. To recreate this style, all you need is: – Any version of Adobe Lightroom – Your. Thanksgiving is here, about to shower us with feelings of coziness, gratitude, and warmth. This time of year is ideal for photographers who enjoy documenting moments of all kinds with their loved ones.

Whether you’re a fan of scrumptious food photography, sweet portraits of children, or gorgeous photos in general, Thanksgiving will provide you with hundreds of picture-worthy moments. Thanksgiving isn’t just a time of relaxation, however. Visitors, daunting new recipes, and an overflowing schedule all threaten to make this time of year an overwhelming one. It can be easy to abandon your camera and focus solely on family matters. To avoid this, it’s important to be prepared. There are ways you can embrace the.

But it is 4.5 pounds and not going to fit into most messenger bags or lightweight daypacks. If you don’t absolutely need its discrete GPU, quad-core CPU, or 15+-inch screen, I can highly recommend the 3 pound Lenovo X1 Yoga (2nd gen), especially if you can afford the OLED display. I’ve been using one as my primary laptop for several weeks, and it did everything I needed, and did it effectively. That included not just processing RAW images from my Nikon D850, but running my 4K Video from my Mavic Pro through Premiere Pro and a set of color and noise reduction plugins.

If you pile on every option. I get asked a lot about how I backup my images (and videos, now that I’m shooting more of them). So I finally wrote it down, along with alternatives that might better suit you, as your circumstances are likely to differ from mine in some way. It’s all online now in this article I wrote for ExtremeTech.com. The essential element to whatever system you choose is to make sure it protects you against all, or at least most, of the issues that can arise. That includes disk “bit rot,” disk failure, controller or computer failure, human error, buggy backup software, and ultimately even major disasters that affect everything on premises.

Adobe rocked the world for many photographers with its cloud-first pivot on Lightroom announced at Adobe MAX 2017. The current CC version has been renamed 'Lightroom Classic CC' and gets some performance bumps for loyal desktop-centric users. A new cloud-first version, the new 'Lightroom CC' has rolled out. It has a similar UI to the current mobile versions of Lightroom -- a subset of the features found in the desktop version. It requires that all images sync to Adobe's Cloud, for which Adobe charges something extra. Not everyone is thrilled, though, and there is plenty of fear that this means Adobe will de-emphasize its power tools for serious photographers.

Along with the new Lightroom, Adobe also made. Editor’s Note: This post combines a couple threads I’ve been writing about. I’ll provide some real-world methods for converting visible text to searchable metadata as discussed in Digitizing Your Photos. In the course of this, I’ll also be fleshing out real-world workflow for Computational Tagging as discussed in The DAM Book 3 Sneak Peeks. In the book Digitizing Your Photos, I made the case for digitizing textual documents as part of any scanning project. This includes newspaper clippings, invitations, yearbooks and other memorabilia.

These items can provide important context for your image archive and the people and events that are pictured. Ideally, you’ll want to change the visible text into searchable. I had the pleasure of making a visit to the National Archives and Records Agency early this month, meeting with Steve Greene and Cary McStay who are in charge of scanning the official photos from the Nixon administration.

They are using a digital camera to do the scanning, in much the same way as I outline in Digitizing Your Photos. The film from the White House Photo Office was transferred to NARA so that it would be sure to be preserved. (This was done along with the audio tapes which are still being digitized.) There were 258,318 images on 14,526 rolls. Most of it is 35mm b&w or C22 negative film. There is also some 4×5 film. NARA first used conventional scanners for the project, but it was clear.

This post is adapted from the forthcoming The DAM Book3. There is a lot of hype and hazy discussion about the future of AI, but it’s often very loosely defined. In a previous blog post, I made the case for lumping a lot of this into a category I’m calling Computational Tagging. In the second post, I made a distinction between Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, and Deep Learning, In this post, I’ll outline a number of the capabilities that fall under the rubric of Computational Tagging. What can computers tag for?

The subject matter will be an ever growing list, and in large part will be determined by the willingness of people and companies to pay for these services. But as of this writing, the. It is with a healthy dose of chagrin that I report that the publication of The DAM Book 3 will be postponed yet again. I have been working on the book full time for the last three months (and quite a bit before that), and it is simply taking a long time to get it done properly.

When I announced an outline and publication date in early September, I was assuming that I could reuse as much as 40% of the copy in the book. As it currently stands, that number is hovering at close to 1%. Changes in the digital photography ecosystem and in the book’s scope have driven a need to rewrite everything. Not only has the rewriting been time consuming, but the changes in imaging and associated technologies has required a. This post is adapted from the forthcoming The DAM Book3. There is a lot of hype and hazy discussion about the future of AI, but it’s often very loosely defined. In a previous blog post, I made the case for lumping a lot of this into a category I’m calling Computational Tagging.

In this post, I’ll split that into some large component parts. (Read the next post here). What’s the difference between Computational Tagging, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning? While the definitions of these processes have a lot of overlap, we can draw some useful distinctions. Let’s use a Venn diagram to illustrate the relationships. Computational tagging refers to any system of automated tagging.

Colorista IV running in Premiere Pro. Adobe Premiere Pro has been aggressively pursuing the creative editorial market at all levels, from feature films to YouTube. It’s now where I do all my cutting, and even finishing. Yes, that’s right, my age-old advice to finish in After Effects instead of an NLE is well and truly obsolete. Premiere renders with great quality, and any tools I felt were missing from the pipeline I’ve created myself.

Part of Premiere’s ascendancy has included folding in the color features of SpeedGrade, exactly as I advised back in 2011.

Or, More Accurately, a Transcription of a Therapy Session for Someone Who Wants the New Thing, but Really Would Be Better Off With the Old Thing In my last Lightroom post, I mentioned that my friend Benjamin Warde is a product manager on the Lightroom team.

I’ve known Ben since we were kids, and we’ve long had a mutual love of photography. This is now really handy for me, because I get to ask him whatever questions I want about terrifying, confusing.

Last week I received a pelican case from Apple with a very special Mac inside of it It was an iMac Pro configured as a 10 Core 3GHZ Intel Xeon W, 2TB SSD, 128 GB RAM, Vega 64 Radeon. After unpacking the (to be expected) beautiful Space Grey hardware, keyboard, mouse and trackpad, it was time to get down to the brass tacks, I had ONE question that I needed to answer: how fast is this thing, and how much time will it save me in my everyday imaging tasks? I found a very consistent set of results: a 2X to 3X boost in speed (relative to my current iMac and MacBook Pro 15”) a noticeable leap from most generational jumps that are generally ten times smaller.

Whether you’re editing 8K RED video, H.264. Outside of the project “AIR” – this is likely the most personally fullfilling project I’ve been able to bring together in years and a PURE PURE joy to plan, prototype and SHOOT! Watch it in 4K! (Wish you could see it in 8k!) I tried to “quietly” upload this to Vimeo and was planning on posting this later this week on FB but the Vimeo folks seem to have beat me to it w/ a Staff Pick! (Thank you!) To pull something like this off took 9 months of prep w/ 3 months of prototyping a HUGE thanks to Mike Isler Kevin LaRosa II Rob Scratch Mitchell Beth Wolfe Miles Scott Smith ZEISS Camera Lenses Paul SacconeBlackmagic Design RED Digital Cinema Jarred Land Michael KeeganHeather Williams and so many more for making. This is a commercial I Directed awhile back but haven’t been able to share until today!

Apple has recently loosened up its rules and I’m proud to share this iPad Pro commercial that I worked on with Cameron Michael and Mike Isler and an absolutely incredible team in Chile! All of the Time Lapses were shot in the Atacama desert of Chile and above with the ALMA Satellites as well as the Aerials over NYC.

This was truly one of the best experiences of my career and I think the entire team would say the same. Simply stunningly BEAUTIFUL. Here are some of the resulting Time Lapses: Here are some behind the scenes.

If you’ve decided to try Canson Infinity fine art paper but aren’t sure where to start, this guide is for you. If you’re already using Canson paper, but want a better understanding of the characteristics and features of their papers, then this guide is also for you. My goal is to give you a basic and practical introduction to Canson’s papers that you can put to use right away. I’ll discuss best case use for each type, and explain how and why different papers can influence the perception of your images. I’ll also share my recommendations for papers you should start with as you develop your printing skills.

Paper Characteristics Let’s start with the basics; paper characteristics. Fine art inkjet. What is the most important question you can ask yourself as a photographer? There may be different questions depending on your circumstances, but in all cases, I believe they all lead back to the most fundamental question: “Why do you photograph?” It’s the most important question because it requires you to look inward rather than outward for the answer. It removes the non-essential and reveals the only thing that can help you grow as a creative person; motivation. It’s motivation that pushes you past the failures and challenges, the constant fear that perhaps you’re not good enough. Motivation keeps you oriented on the creative path instead of dependent on a goal.

Goals aren’t bad, but they can. The 9″ x 12″ 2018 Nature of Inspiration Wall Calendar is available for pre-order from the store.

Mind Five Min Journal Nothing has impacted my daily state of mind more than developing a sense of gratitude for all things. This is not a denial of the negative, but rather a focus on what’s positive. Studies have shown it improves health, happiness, and your overall outlook on life. While you can practice gratitude simply by noting what you’re grateful for each day, a dedicated notebook makes it easier to develop that into a habit. This journal also includes other bonus features, like daily inspirational quotes and weekly challenges. It’s an essential part of my morning routine.

Book Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson I’ve been waiting for this book since it was announced last year, and its. Autumn is always an exciting time of year for nature photographers and I grab whatever opportunity I can to get out on the trails before it’s over. We don’t see especially vibrant colors here in the Hudson Valley, and that’s ok with me. While I love color, I think it’s easy to be seduced by color alone and disregard the other components of a meaningful image like a strong center of interest or a clear path for the viewer to follow. This can result in images that while saturated with color, offer little beyond a mere snapshot of a colorful scene. I’ve been seduced many times myself, and a forest full of rich vibrant color makes our eyes see more photographs than actually exist.

That is to say. Those of you who have had the pleasure of playing at some point or another should know by now just how addictive air hockey can be.

This is why Canon does so well, they produce top quality lenses that we drool over. The system is what its all about, its not just a camera, or a spec. I shoot Nikon, Canon and Fuji and I prefer Canon and Fuji glass, that's why I'm vested in those systems. Nikon is not far behind and Sony has a ways to go.

I’m often asked for recommendations about photography books. Not, mind you, books about photography, but books of photographs. Here are my current favourites. They of course represent my own tastes and lean heavily toward black and white documentary photographs, but you can learn from all photography, and I think black and white images are simpler, allowing us (often) to get to the heart of them more quickly. So here in no particular order are the books that are currently on my own shelves that I turn to over and over again, and that I would (and do) recommend to my friends and students. The links below are Amazon affiliate links. Any of these would be a good choice as a gift for the photographer in your.

This morning I’m going back to fundamentals and answering a question from several months ago that asked, simply, how and why do you choose a particular lens or aperture for a scene. I love this question because it gets to the heart of what it means to be a photographer, or any artist, and that is about making choices. If you’d rather watch this on YouTube, it’s Episode 76 of Vision Is Better and you can watch it here. More of an audio person? You can download or listen to the Mp3 file here: Click Here to Download the Mp3 After spending most of my last dozen years with photographers, mostly in a teaching capacity, I’ve come to the conclusion that the single hardest thing for photographers is making. This is a little bit all over the place, and it’s raw.

But that’s the point of this whole thing. I could do with a little more raw right now. I’m tired of perfection. My morning scroll though Instagram just wears me down more every day, with image after image post-processed into plasticity, over-sharpness, and the obliteration of shadows. I’m not even talking about the so-called lifestyle accounts which no longer even pretend to inspire us to wonder, just to baser emotions like envy, or jealousy.

I’m talking about the apparent global competition to out-saturate, out-sharpen, and out-technique the rest of us. In search of this perfection we’re losing the poetic. If I hear one more person or read one more camera ad that tells me to SHOOT LIKE A PRO! I swear to god I’ll start drinking gin from the cat bowl and Fluffy can go drink out of the toilet.

What is this obsession with being a so-called pro as if it’s the highest calling of the photographer and everything they touch turns to gold? Being a professional photographer is not a badge of honour, it’s not easy, and for some of you it could be the worst thing you do to the craft you love.

After 2 weeks in the highlands of Lesotho I’m back in Johannesburg for a couple days to wash the dust off and get the bumps massaged out before beginning the long journey home. The highlight this morning was waking up in a bed that was not my sleeping bag, and getting a cup of coffee that was not powdered Nescafe. But I’d do it all again (and will!) for the experience I just had. The last two weeks in Lesotho (look at a map of South Africa. See the donut hole in the south-east?

That’s the Kingdom of Lesotho) were among the purest travel experiences I’ve ever had. I don’t know of another way to put it.

I traveled with two friends, one functioning as my producer, the other as my fixer. Today, the U.S. Copyright Office implemented a series of technical upgrades to its electronic registration system. The upgrades: reorganize the home screen for the eCO system; remove the three questions that previously directed applicants to the Standard Application or the Single Application; introduce a new and improved version of the Single Application; modify the authorship statements in the application for registering a serial publication; and add a new feature that will allow certain file types to be uploaded to the electronic registration system, while blocking unacceptable file types.

These improvements are designed to enhance the user experience and increase the efficiency of the examination of. From the Copyright Alliance: Join the copyright community in asking your Congressional Representative to cosponsor H.R.

3945, the CASE Act of 2017, a bill that would create a copyright small claims court for creators and small businesses (It’s quick and easy to do!) For many photographers, illustrators, authors, songwriters and other creators who own copyrighted works, enforcing their rights is not feasible. Litigation is expensive and many creators simply can’t afford it. In effect, the U.S. Copyright system currently provides creators with rights but no effective remedies.

It’s vital that Congress hear from creators like you on the importance of creating a small claims court. Please contact your. As a long overdue entry in the “Diary of a Copyright Infringement Lawsuit” series, a current case shows the risk that an infringement defendant may file a counterclaim against the photographer plaintiff, perhaps as retribution for filing the infringement claim. Counterclaims are claims that could be made by a separate complaint or are brought into a lawsuit between the parties for judicial economy. For example, in February 2017, photographer Jon Tannen sued CBS Interactive for using 2 of his photos on the website 247sports.com and altering copyright management information for those photos, all without his permission. In October 2017, CBS sued Tannen in a separate copyright infringement lawsuit claim.
