It’s been over a decade since I fell in love with the camera rotation technique. And ever since then, I’ve constantly been experimenting and honing my craft. Today, I’m presenting you with abstract orbs I took just before sunrise, using a 360-degree camera paired with camera rotation. I’ll share with you how I took them, hoping […]
The Internet is full of debates along the lines of: “Whether Sony colors are better than Nikon colors?”; “Whether Canon colors are better than Sony colors?”. Sometimes, people are talking about in-camera JPEGs, and it is possible to have a moderately fruitful discussion. How fruitful it might be depends on the definition of better. If […]
It seems like everybody’s going magnetised these days. We’re constantly seeing magnets in use with our photography and video tools, whether it’s magnetic mounts on gimbals, filter systems, light modifiers, or whatever. Well, here’s another magnetic filter system from Freewell. It’s called K2, and it’s currently launching on Indiegogo. While Freewell is not a new […]
The azure water laps around your toes as you wander across the white sands, camera in hand. The Insta-worthy couple frolics at the water’s edge, hanging off your every direction.

As the saying goes, “one isn’t rich enough to buy cheap things.” But is a dirt-cheap piece of gear worth buying after all? Adam Harig wanted to find out, and he found the cheapest tripod money could buy. I’m taking $8.50 cheap, folks; we spend more on takeout. So, is an $8.50 tripod indeed such […]
Shooting the interior of a brick-built scene can be very challenging for a LEGO photographer because most models restrict camera angles and limit lighting opportunities. When I shoot official LEGO sets, I have to really work around what the designer of the set has created, with displayability and playability as their priorities. It’s a lot […]
In the last year or so, I’ve experimented with and tested a huge range of LEDs lights. From the $15,000 Panalux film production monsters to the versatile Godox S-fit compatible heads to the incredible Rotolight panels.
