I love digital analogue hybrid processes in photography, I find them absolutely fascinating,and this video from photographer Nick Carver helps to show why. There is, of course, another message in this video. If you like your images, print them. Print them big and show them off. I couldn’t agree more. I still shoot both film [...]

With great power comes great potential for abuse. Back in 2011, Apple filed a fairly controversial patent, which would allow the cameras in their devices to be turned on and off at will by external forces.

The idea of a selfie drone isn’t all that unique any more. Many drones come with a “follow” mode for just this sort of thing, and it’s the Hover Camera’s sole purpose in life.

How wide can an ultra-wide go? Its a question youll find yourself asking when you get ready to mount the Voigtlnder 10mm f/5.6 Hyper-Wide Heliar: the widest rectilinear lens ever made for a camera.

I’m a bit disappointed by this one. I’ve been a huge fan of Eye-Fi cards for several years and own and use several cards. Now, they’re taking planned obsolescence to a whole new level by effectively making most of their past products useless in one fell swoop. According to an email I received from Eye-Fi [...]

I was shooting some images of the icebergs on the black sand beach by the Jkulsrln Glacier Lagoon, Iceland with a rental EF 24-70mm F2.8L II. Iceland is notorious for being windy, and while I was shooting there was blowing winds carrying ocean spray and water splashes all over me and my camera + lens. [...]
