Andrea Longacre-White has created a photo project that won her a place in the ICP Triennial. She is a creative that has has many exhibitions, including the Tiny Vices Show. Her work has been featured in TimeOutNY and the NYTimes amongst others. While many of us shoot film and then scan it to digitize it, Andrea decided o digitize an already digital image. And she did this by scanning not a print out, but a digital screen. Her project involves scanning scenes that are displayed on an iPad–which in turn created visually interesting glitches.

So you want to shoot landscape images? All you have to do is slap on a wide angle and head out, right? WRONG! There is so much more to landscape photography than the oft-overused ultra wide-angle perspective (though that certainly still has its place). I’m going to share my thoughts on landscape photography from the perspective of a full-frame Canon shooter, but please know that almost everything I’m going to tell you will apply to Nikon, Sony, and the rest. They are all great brands. Head on past the break for my thoughts on lenses for landscapes.

Our buddy Chris Burkard that we interviewed the other day recently published a video shot entirely with the new Nikon D7100 DSLR. The video is all about surf photography and what it’s like to be so close with the ocean To do it, they used an AquaTech Waterhousings in the surf. When they got onto the beach they used it with the new Nikkor 80-400 F4-5.6 VRII zoom. They also got to play with the 800mm F5.6. He had been playing with the camera since the winter of last year before it was announced. And the result is some beautiful footage that quite obviously puts the GoPro to shame when there is a wide angle attached.
Take a look at the video after the jump. And also be sure to check out our D7100 review.

Manfrotto just announced a new compact tripod aimed at photographers on the go, called the ‘BeFree’.

In addition, it comes with its own dedicated bag for extra protection, which you can also carry over your shoulder.
The BeFree is available now for a retail price of US $199.89.

“If your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t close enough.” These ten words words reflect Robert Capa’s photographic philosophy. You need to be intimate with your subject to get the best possible image. One of the forerunners of photojournalism, Robert Capa, born Andre Friedmann on December 3, 1913, was a war photographer whose 1936 image of a slain soldier catapulted him onto the world’s stage. Capa was part of a select group of photographers, Bresson and Seymour among them, who would influence subsequent generations of photographers all the way through today. It was on this day in 1954, when a misstep caused a land mine to explode and kill him. However brief his life was, Capa produced an astounding body of work that lives on, and this post is dedicated to the man and his images.
