Over the past few months, I’ve been looking at how we can improve our POTD feature to make it more, well, awesome. For a while now, we’ve been taking your submissions and combing through them to find some interesting shots. But we’re going to change that up a bit. We’re going to turn it into a contest format for a month, and the best shot takes home $100 at B&H for doing nothing more than sending us an image. [more]

Check it out guys. Here is another great speaker from Luminance 2012. Heck he isn’t just a great speaker but also a great photographer, husband, father and friend to have (so he tells me). Zack gives us some insight on what it means to be genuine and what that means for your social media and ultimately your business. No need to learn the hard way, just watch.

With the help of pro breakdancer, contortionist, acrobat Karimbo, Brussels-based photographer, director David Olkarny put together this short video using the Canon 7D a Canon 50mm 1.4 and Canon 24-70mm 2.8L. Another video that proves that if you got the talent, creativity, drive and a modest kit, you can make something worth looking at.

I was completely f*cking torn as to what to do here. Post them all at once or roll them out. Here is the thing. I attended Luminance, Photoshelter’s two day conference, back in September expecting the same old song and dance of over crowed auditoriums as speakers and spokes people try to sell me their wares. (Hmmmm kind of makes you wonder why I keep going to these things.) But I was pleasantly surprised as the conference was [more]
Italian photographer Yossi Loloi’s “Full Beauty” is a series of nudes featuring large women in an effort to “…focus on their fullness and femininity, as a form of protest against discrimination set by media and by today’s society.” I often think about how to shoot various body types with their varied aesthetics and am curious to know how our readers receive Yossi’s work. I’m also trusting that our readers will read Yossi’s philosophy and approach this discussing with a professional and mature attitude. [more]
This is quite possibly the coolest self promotions I’ve seen in a very long time. Artist / photographer Lukas Renlund holds his first outdoor exhibit only to have it end 30 seconds after opening. Why? All his shit got stolen. But don’t worry every thing went according to plan. Watch the video, check out the snap shots, be inspired to do more with your photography.

I’m not going to lie. With all the time lapse videos of the sky hitting the web these days I’m kind of over it. But “Leonid and Zodiacal Light”, by french photographer Stephane Vetter is very short and there is just something about capturing the entire sky with trees on the on the fringe that still holds a bit of magic.
As most of you know a few months ago we were having issues with a malware attack scare that turned out to be false positives. We cleared up the issue and as a precaution took our forum down to make sure that the entire Fstoppers site was in proper working order. I’m happy to announce that the forum is back up and running. You can now access the forum here: http://forum.fstoppers.com OR you can click the forum link at the top of the main page. [more]
