10 years ago or more, I made the trek to Pamplona, Spain for the annual running of the bulls. No intent to run, just a hope to learn something, watch a 400 year old phenomenon I’d read about in Hemingway’s the Sun Also Rises, and engage my passive interest in watching mostly drunk party kids...

It’s been pretty well established for some time now that both Canon and Nikon have been working on entry-level full-frame offerings that they will most likely debut at Photokina in September. Unfortunately for Canon fans, while we’ve gotten plenty of info on the Nikon D600 (including a photo...

A Guest Post by Wildlife Photographer – Morkel Erasmus Ever since digital SLR technology has become more readily available, more and more people have become photography enthusiasts, and more and more photography enthusiasts have started venturing into a genre previously reserved for only a...

I’ll admit to being a bit of a Canon lens snob, it’s fairly obvious if you look down my gear list anyway.  I’m my career I’ve only owned one non-Canon lens and that was a Sigma 15mm Fisheye.  The Tamron lens caught my eye, and the eyes of many others because it is the first (and still only)...

A Guest Post by Suzy Richards HDR has made a very negative name for itself but in some situations it can be a life saver. One instance where I have started to use it recently is in situations where I would have previously used fill flash if I wanted a more even exposure. To experiment with this...

Ever since people started getting their hands on the 5D Mark III and the 1D X’s 61-point AF system, they have been complaining about the black AF points for one reason or another (mostly regarding visibility). Whatever the complaints, however, the resounding request has been the same: bring back...

A couple of months ago we featured a 30,000 photo time-lapse by David Navarrete that was captured over an entire year at Disneyland. Today we have another 30,000 photos by another David, only this time they’re shrinking a three month vacation in Europe down to five minutes of beautiful imagery...

Back in January of this year Sigma announced that it was working on the world’s first 1:1 180mm f/2.8 macro lens, which was to play the role of successor to the company’s popular 180mm f/3.5 EX DG lens. Sadly, at the time Sigma gave us no indication of when we might be seeing the lens IRL, or...

In this video photographer Jeremy Cowart talks us through the process of taking and then processing an image of musician Imogen Heap. The shooting phase was very simple but the real magic happened in photoshop when Jeremy composited the portrait with a couple of other images and began to add...

Well, not *quite* free, but we do have one to give away! (read to the end) ioSafe Solo G3 Review I’ve been using the ioSafe G3 for a few months now, the large 3TB one… You know, large disks, lots of heat and noise right? Well, this one is silent. It doesn’t have fans in the (relative) MASSIVE...

Last October Ricoh sealed the deal with Pentax, buying out the company for a sizeable $124-million. Since then we haven’t seen any major changes as Pentax has gone about its business as usual. That, however, isn’t going to be the case for much longer. According to the President of Pentax Imaging...

Photographically speaking, the London Olympics have caused quite a bit of confusion for ticket holders. Initially, the ticket holder agreement seemed to imply that you wouldn’t be allowed to upload any of the photos taken at the games to social networks; then once the rules were clarified, a...

Firmware updates come pretty often, so they don’t typically make news unless they bring with them a particularly impressive set of improvements, like v2.0 for Canon’s 7D a few weeks back. And although Olympus’ firmware version 1.2 for the OM-D E-M5 does help improve the functionality of your...

German photographer Jan Leonardo Wöllert doesn’t just do “light painting,” for him light painting probably denotes nothing more than a photographical hobby that many people enjoy trying out on occasion. No, Wöllert specializes in “light art performance photography,” and this feature on Deutsche...

A Guest Post by Nicole Begley from Hair of the Dog If there is one shot in pet photography that just about every owner is guaranteed to fall in love with and buy, it is the head tilt.   There is nothing quite like those shots with the dog looking directly in the camera, head to the side, and...

“Bodybuilders’ World” is a curious project by Belgian photographer Kurt Stallaert featuring digitally altered photos that combine the muscular bodies of bodybuilders with the youthful faces of children. At first glance they might look like ordinary portraits, but look a little closer and you’ll...
