There are certain things in some films that clue you in as to who directed them. J.J. Abrams, for example, is synonymous with over-the-top lens flares and camera shake. In the case of Michael Bay, it’s that hero shot, orbiting around the subjects with a long lens and the background whizzing by behind them. It’s […]
Sony World Photography Awards recently published the winners and shortlists of its Open competition. The photos are absolutely stunning, but there’s just one problem – the Creative category winner isn’t a photo at all. The winning image resembles a portrait photo from the 1940s, with a characteristic vintage, nostalgic feel. But on a closer look, […]

Again, the company is taking to Kickstarter to release the camera, with some massive early bird deals for fast backers. The Duovox Ultra shoots 1080p HD resolution […]
Google Earth has recently updated its Timelapse feature, which lets you view how a region has changed over time. The new imagery will let you see time unfolding from 1984 to 2022, and it’s fascinating to watch. New imagery from 2021 and 2022 has been added in higher definition, giving anyone with an internet connection […]
