Xencelabs, a company that I really appreciate in the graphics tablets scene, just announced a new product: the Xencelabs Pen Display 24 Studio Series. This 24-inch graphics tablet display builds upon elements from their first generation of graphics tablets. The Quick Keys are still a prominent feature, but to stand out from the crowd, the hottest […]
Astrophotography is one of those fields that is half science and half art. And Rick calls it right. For astrophotography, “sometimes science is more art than science“. This is a highly technical field of photography, which means that there is a learning curve. Capturing most (but not all) space objects requires dedication. But the good […]
Remember that cool app from years ago that was, like, the hippest thing on your iPhone 3Gs? Yes, that’s right! It was Hipstamatic, and I, among many, spent hours playing around with different looks. back then, it was a rival to apps like Snapseed and even Instagram. But then, it sort of just went away. […]
You though Instagram didn’t have any more places to cram adds? Well, looks like you’re wrong. Ads are now coming even to your Search results, because that’s probably the only place where we still aren’t seeing them.

Although, they didn’t really announce them. Neither the sensor nor the camera actually existed. It wasn’t until September 2019 that we were finally […]

In a recent interview, Kevin Systrom opened up about his thoughts on Instagram as we have it today. He claims […]
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recently shared a fascinating timelapse video of a tornado on the Sun’s surface. It swirled across the star’s north pole, prompting astrophotographers to turn their telescopes and cameras towards the Sun. The massive tornado reached the height of around 75,000 miles (120,000 kilometers), which makes it, most likely, the tallest tornado […]
TikTok is banning AI deep fakes and fake endorsements from the social media platform, a company statement says. Growing pressure on the Chinese parent company Byte Dance has led to an update of the platform’s content policies. More and more governments and related organisations around the world have implemented employee bans on the app due […]
When I think about how I can help people with their landscape photography, everything to do with technique first comes to mind. Without technique, it’s more difficult to get what you want. Obviously, I also think about composition because that’s what will allow our photographs to say what we want them to say. But is […]
Unless this is an April Fool joke that somebody hit publish on a little too soon, it looks like DPReview will be shutting down completely as of April 10th. An announcement published on the site today states that DPReview will be closing as part of Amazon’s annual operating plan review. According to the announcement, DPReview […]
