Two years ago, I published an article that took a lighthearted approach to making fun of the major wedding photograph image processing trends (link is external) of the day. In today’s post, I will discuss the vintage film look at length.

Very broadly speaking, the faded vintage film look is a digital image editing technique that does one or both of the following:... more (link is external)

Roger Cicala over at LensRentals has put Tamron's new SP 70-200mm F2.8 Di VC USD G2 lens to the test (link is external). 

Cicala notes that on its own, the Tamron is impressively sharp all the way to the edges at its wide end, and even better in the middle of its focal range. Sharpness drops a bit at full telephoto, but Cicala still says the 70-200 'puts in a very... more (link is external)

A common rule of thumb to figure out your maximum shutter speed for sharp stars at night is to divide 500 by your focal length. Sometimes it’s called the 600 Rule or the 400 Rule or several other numbers that can be used depending on your sensor size. Unfortunately, it’s a a very inaccurate rule today.

The so-called 500 Rule was designed for 35mm film grain at higher ISOs; but current digital sensors far out-resolve grainy film, especially with high-megapixel count,... more (link is external)

Leica has finally announced that it has found a reliable replacement for the defective focus drive units in some of the S lenses from its medium-format system. The faulty units created complete AF failure in affected lenses and it has taken the company some time to find a permanent solution.

In what Leica describes as an act of goodwill users with lenses that have already stopped working can have the AF drive units replaced for free, as can anyone whose unit fails up to five years from... more (link is external)

Veteran wildlife photographer Michael Furtman (link is external) has seen many images of northern owls swooping down, talons drawn on an unsuspecting black or white mouse on the surface of the snow. This kind of... more (link is external)

Designers and image editors often have to browse through large numbers of low-quality photographs before they find the stock image that is most suitable for their purposes. Now, a new algorithm has been created to filter images based on their aesthetic value and get rid of the junk before it clogs up your search results. 

Everypixel uses neural networks for ranking stock images and for this purpose has trained the algorithms to judge the aesthetic value of a stock image in the... more (link is external)
