Photography and travel are so intertwined that it’s almost impossible now for some of us to tell if we travel to take photos, or we take photos to travel. In my case, however, it’s often the former, especially when it comes to street photography. While I don’t really consider myself adept at street photography, it’s almost impossible not to do when you’re somewhere new or haven’t been in a long time. When you’re exploring a city that’s different from where you live — with a camera in tow — of course, you end up with a collection of street photographs even without the mindset that you’re doing it deliberately.
It’s been three years since we’ve seen the Sony A7S III, so it’s easy to see why Sony fans have been eager for any news about the A7S III. The good news is, the company has confirmed that they’re on it. The not so good news? In the words of Kenji Tanaka, VP and Senior General Manager of Sony’s Business Unit, “it will take time.”
The Girl Scouts of yester-decades sure had some cool stuff back in the days, including some commemorative or special edition Girl Scout cameras. We spotted a few of them in a post by Redditor MrRabinowitz during our customary Reddit rounds, and we’ve been wondering, where have these been all our lives?
For many professional photographers, post processing is an integral part of their workflow. While I prefer to get as much done in camera as possible, knowing what I’m able to pull out of my RAW files during post production have allowed me to shoot under some less than ideal situations and still produce work that I was able to deliver to clients. This doesn’t mean I necessarily enjoy sitting in front of my computer working in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC or Capture One any more than I have to. Given the choice, I’d rather be out and about clicking my shutter rather than clicking away on my keyboard or dragging sliders around with my mouse. This is where the Loupedeck+ comes in, with the promise of cutting down editing time and making the process more intuitive.
French photographer Stéphane Maugendre is a self-confessed “analog at heart” and so for his new series, he turned to the LomoChrome Purple to lend it a surreal touch.
2018 has been an emotionally charged year for me. In a short space of time, I quit a job that made me miserable, reconnected with my Dad after 10 years apart, walked away from an emotionally abusive partner and visited 10 countries in between. Alongside that, I have started two new careers, lived in 3 different cities and got a whole new camera system! And as we approach the final quarter of the year, it has all caught up with me. In result of this, I have found myself feeling anxious and mildly depressed. As I try to unwrap and make sense of it all, street photography has been the light carrying me through.
Photographers, like all creatives, constantly search for inspiration even in the unlikeliest places. Some of us find it most effective to take a walk around town or go on a trip somewhere far from home. It’s also always a great idea to hit bookstores and libraries regularly to check out some great photo books. Others are content with browsing through countless Instagram posts or hopping around their favorite photography-centric Facebook pages. The Internet is actually a good place to start for brainstorming ideas and getting inspired — if you know where to look. If you’re more likely to have the time to do only the scour the World Wide Web today (or the coming days) to fuel your next photography project, we have here a list of the few great websites for you to get started.
If you are looking for some outrageous camera deals you have come to the right place. We scour the web trying to find the best prices on DSLR’s, Mirrorless cameras, and lenses and then we bring them to you.
Imagine that you were shooting with a film camera instead of a digital one; What are you going to do if you misplaced a roll of film by accident? What if you forgot about a roll inside a camera that you haven’t used in ages? Maybe you exposed a roll prematurely when changing rolls? What about if you found an old roll of film inside a camera that you inherited from a family member? Recently, we got to speak with Levi Bettwieser, founder of The Rescued Film Project, about his efforts to recover images from rolls of film that once were thought to have been lost in the mists of time.
Can two prime lenses so close in focal length really be so different, and why should you choose one over the other? This is a question that has been asked many times before. Here we will take a quick look at the differences between the two and what they are both good for.
