Since the first tilt-shift timelapses started to appear online several years ago, it’s a look that’s been attempted, copied, and improved upon quite a bit. Tilt-shift lenses, however, can be pretty expensive, and for something that you may only use occasionally, an expense you may not be able to justify. As a consequence, the tilt-shift [...]
Working with real big lenses is fun, but often troublesome. Handholding with image stabilisationcan help, butonly until your arms get tired, whichis where the trusty tripod steps in to give you a solid foundation on which to rest your lens. But even when working with tripods, the view can sometimes be a little unsteady. In [...]
Sometimes beginning photographers ask me to look at their photos and tell them how they can make the photos better. Nearly every time this happens I end up saying the same thing, “You need to stop taking your pictures in the middle of the day.”

Documenting nature isn’t always as cute and fluffy as we’d like it to be, and when it comes to the law of the jungle, the judge occasionally dons his black cap. I would imagine that this video isn’t quite what Tan Nguyen expected to capture when he setup his GoPro pointed at this American Robinnest [...]

And while getting a shot of the ISS over the sun is competently doable, getting that shot with Mercury in the frame is an epic effort. Engineer and photographerThierry Legault took this compositeof the ISS, Sun and Mercury [...]
Its nice to have a drone that can take photos and videos. What could be more fun that taking photos of people on the beach from high above or assaulting drone pilots out for the sake of privacy. I don’t see where this can go wrong. In fact drone shooting privacy is such a concern [...]
I found these videos on the Adorama TV channel and thought this is a great idea to learn how photographers work.
