Today there are amazing deals on all types of memory from SanDisk. If you are in the market for SD cards, USB 3.0 flash drives, or SSD hard drives, you won't want to miss this.
When you point a camera at human, 99% of the time that person will strike a pose of some kind. These "poses" are absurd and the longer that these "poses" are held, the more ridiculous and hilarious they get. So why not shoot video and make your subjects wait and wait and wait.
We recently received the new DJI Ronin M, an electronic gimbal that is smaller and cheaper than the standard DJI Ronin. To put this stabilizer to the test, we decided to put it through a series of demanding tests... while drunk.
As many of you may know, Mike Kelley has been traveling the world for quite some time, taking photographs of airports (sounds boring but it's cool, I promise). Yesterday he posted a picture of himself on Facebook that is so perfect, I had to make a Photoshop contest with it.
You probably have a broken computer somewhere in your house and you're about to throw it away. Wait! Don't just throw it out, that thing is filled with precious gold! Just kidding, it's only about $1 worth.
The final episode of this season of Photographing The World Behind The Scenes is finally here. In episode eight, we finally wrap up three months of filming and to celebrate, I go bungee jumping and Patrick takes a ride on the worlds tallest swing.
If you are shooting 36mp still images, you're going to be able to see a pretty significant difference when comparing cheap lenses to their pro level counterparts. Does the same hold true for video? Not really.
The Fotokite Phi is being marketed as more of an electronic "kite" than a drone. Why? Because it's tethered, just like a kite, to a person on the ground. I admit that this thing is pretty unique but is this actually a good idea?
Photographing The World Behind The Scenes episode 7 is now live. In this episode, we visit the famous lone tree at Lake Wanaka, we get rained out at Milford Sound, and we end up in Queenstown for our final lesson.
I just ran across an incredible BTS video on Vimeo which uses the new Freefly Alta Drone, Movi stabilizer, and RED Dragon Monochrome to create an incredible infrared look at a post apocalyptic world.
I've never been too impressed with the job of an "actor." I guess I've always thought that most people are capable of acting (pretending), they've just never tried it. I just ran across Benedict Cumberbatch's motion capture performance for the Hobbit and I have to say I was impressed.
Rednecks everywhere rejoice, they are now making "drone munition;" shotgun shells specifically made/marketed to shoot down quadcopters.
I fly with photo/video gear a lot and most of the time I am forced to check at least a portion of my equipment. I usually try to carry on my most fragile gear (cameras and lenses) but sometimes even that isn't possible. After watching this video I might have to throw a fit the next time they tell me that all of the over head bins are full.
Jason Paul and Pasha Petkuns teamed up with Red Bull to produce the most unique freerunning video that I've ever seen. They begin at the upside down house in Germany but quickly move to perspective/depth of field tricks that any of us are capable of reproducing.
Photographing The World BTS episode 6 is finally here and this is the one many of you have been waiting for. At this point in the series I had flown this drone in 7 different countries in snow and rain, and I even crashed it into the side of an ice cave but it kept on working. The streak finally ends in New Zealand when I have my first and only serious crash.
Last week I made a list of 10 of my favorite photographers to follow on Fstoppers and a few people complained that too many of them were "portrait" photographers. I've scoured the community again and today I've created a new list with 10 incredible, additional photographers who shoot much more than your average portrait.
The GoPro Hero 4 is a Marvel of human engineering. Waterproof, ultra wide angle, and incredible 4k footage all built into an amazingly small package. I would hate to live in a world without the GoPro; we would be without this amazing footage of a fish jumping out of the water just to bite some guys nipple.
I remember meeting Peter Hurley for the first time. I walked into his studio and saw him shooting a client's headshot with 4 Kino Flo hot lights (normally used for video). I asked him why and he said "The quality of light is just better than strobe. It fills the pores on a human face differently." At the time I was intrigued, but I no longer believe it.
Photographing The World Behind The Scenes Episode 5 is here. In last weeks episode (episode 4) we spent our last day in Iceland, and our photography guide went on a rant about photographers that is so hilarious, his rant has more views than the entire episode. In episode 5 we leave Siggy behind and fly to the opposite side of the world, New Zealand.
We currently own 4 Canon Photo printers and they are the best printers I've personally ever owned. They never clog and they simply work every single time. Right now you can get a brand new Canon Pro-100 photo printer for just $50 from B&H with a little trickery. Let me show you how.
