Photographers that are of a particular skill set above the typical amateur are going to want to pay attention to the new Datacolor SpyderX tool kits being announced today. Besides including their much improved SpiderX Elit calibration uni, they’re also assisting higher end photographers by bundling a few other goodies. There are two kits: the SpyderX Capture Pro and the SpyderX Studio kit. One isn’t necessarily a higher end than the other more so than one is designed more around the need for capturing out in the field while the other is for studio work.
If you’re fond of shooting with all sorts of objects to create special effects, Lensbaby has something to help make things easier for you. Say hello to the newly released OMNI Creative Filter System, which promises to be a unique professional tool that you can use with your current prime and zoom lenses.
Any photographers that have experience shooting through objects like prisms, crystals, and mirrors to create unique effects in-camera will tell you that the results are often unpredictable. The process of using these optical modifiers can also be rather bothersome since you have to hold your camera with one hand while manipulating these modifiers in the other. Lensbaby’s OMNI Creative filter System aims to simplify this user experience and make creating these in-camera effects a less complicated and more manageable affair. Being announced today, the new system uses prisms, and your lens’ filter mount system to give photographers the ability to create some cool in-camera effects.
“Sometimes art can change how people see the world but I want to change how the world sees people.” Those are the powerful words of Tatiana Ilina, a documentary photographer based in New York. Through her imagery, she is passionate about giving a voice to the voiceless – shining a light on those who society has often been guilty of placing in darkness. By connecting with communities on the fringes, she educates herself in the process, “I was always interested in creating the stories about incredible people who made me see many things in this world from other side.”
When we go to buy cameras and lenses we barely bat an eye when it comes to dropping over four figures on new gear, but when we think about buying accessories such as tripods, the thought of spending that much probably sends shivers down ones spine.

Camera straps are something we all need, and quite honestly they are something most of us never really put much thought in to. We often grab the first strap that comes in to sight, and we then mumble, and complain for the rest of the day about how uncomfortable they strap is, or how we wish there could be a better designed strap; that’s where SPINN DESIGN come in to play. SPINN.DESIGN claim that they have designed the most user friendly, and most comfortable camera carrying system, and they have started a campaign on Kickstarter so that they can bring it to the masses.
