This is pretty cool. 360 video and photography is all the rage, but while Virtual Reality might be the main way you can experience these photos, a company called Scandy lets you hold them in your hand through the magic of 3D printing.

Anybody who has ever had their photos... more

I was honoured to wrap-up another bridal-inspired editorial shoot where I was paid for my expertise. Having been a wedding photographer for 5+ years, I can say with certainty that it has taken 2+ years of hustling to be welcomed into the inner circle of a few select Sydney florists, stylists, hair stylists and makeup artists.

It's an innovative device, but unfortunately its camera falls short of the best in its class. DxOMark has put the Robin through its standard mobile tests, awarding it 81 points and putting it in 18th place in DxO's mobile rankings. While image testers liked the Robin's good detail preservation and fast AF, unusually high noise levels kept NextBit's smartphone out of the... more

Among the features introduced in Nikon's new D5 and D500 DSLRs, we're very excited by automated AF Fine Tune. This feature allows users to quickly fine-tune their specific camera bodies and lenses, maximising the chances of a sharp shot and avoiding the lengthy process of trial-and-error tuning that was previously necessary. Watch our video and read our in-depth analysis.

What's the problem?

If you're a DSLR shooter, you may be acutely aware of consistent front or back-focus issues with... more

In this article I will describe how to construct a simple reflectance transformation imaging (RTI) setup using an Arduino microprocessor and a 3D printer.

It can sometimes be difficult for a single photograph to adequately record and represent all of an objects important detail. By using RTI photographic techniques, researchers are better able to enhance an objects individual topography, texture, and color.

Unlike one single photograph, an RTI... more
