Hey everyone, We’ve got 10 days left to get our Kickstarter fully funded and we’re almost there! But we can use more support. Just a reminder: our zine is going to be all about analog photography. It’s going to feature 100 pages of photos and short interviews profiling a number of photographers on why they …
There are a lot of keyboard options designed to work very well with Photoshop and Lightroom and today, Phase One has announced a partnership with LogicKeyboard to deliver the Capture One Pro Keyboard for the mac. The special keyboard is designed to give photo editors better and quicker access to their shortcuts through color coded layouts.
For a while now, I’ve become more and more frustrated with the things that Adobe has been doing with Lightroom. Like the Apple users amongst the creative world, it’s just not cutting it for us anymore. So I’ve made a video on how I’m working with Capture One Pro 10 these days to show everyone else how you can get into it.
In addition to their new 70-200mm F/2.8 G2 lens Tamron also announced a brand new 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5, an ultrawide lens designed specifically for crop sensor cameras. It has a ton of major improvements over the old version of this lens, and it looks to be a great addition to the Tamron lineup.
Photographers that use the Fujifilm X series system professionally (or are interested in doing so) will be amazed to know that there are a number of fantastic lenses available to use for the system. Of course, despite the fact that the company’s system hasn’t been around for as long a period of time as some others they’ve been able to do quite a bit in a short amount of time. The Fujifilm X series system has a lens for nearly every single type of photographer–and the system is just going to continue to grow.

The pinhole camera has been a classic DIY project for students discovering photography for many decades. If you want to get a deeper appreciation for the basic DNA of a camera, build a pinhole camera. Pinhole cameras are bare-bones cameras; they consist of a black box, a place to put photo-sensitive material, and a pinhole-sized opening that projects a faint image on light-sensitive material. Stripped of the bells and whistles, all cameras—film and digital—follow this design. Some (OK, almost all) cameras are more advanced. But DIY is making a comeback, especially among millennials, so, let’s make a pinhole camera!
In addition to the new 100mm F/2.8 G Master lens that Sony announced at WPPI 2017, they also brought out their new 85mm F/1.8. This should be particularly exciting for money strapped Sony shooters who are looking for an affordable option in the 85mm range.
Neutral Density (ND) filter is an extremely useful tool for both still shooting and video recording purposes. However, many new comers to the photography world may not understand what an ND filter is and how to use it. We have found this extremely easy to digest Youtube video made by Fadzai Saungweme in Perth, Australia explaining what ND filter can do and in what situations do we need to use one.
A staple of the Fujifilm X-Series for some time now has been the 18mm F/2. But as with many of the early lenses launched with the X-Series, it is beginning to show its age and users have been noting the need for an update now for some time.
