Dicahub recently sat down with a Samyang Optics rep at the P&I Show 2014 to talk about future plans and help clear up some of the rumors that have been floating around about what the company has in store.
In the beginning of April, Sydney-based photographer Rohan Anderson found himself embroiled in a nasty back-and-forth with the band Red Jumpsuit Apparatus over a photo of his they had used without credit or permission.
Often, when you let someone know they've infringed on your copyright, you get an apology and an offer to make things right. This is not what happened to Anderson.
About a month ago, the folks at DigitalRev TV launched a new series called "Speed Shooter" in which they show you how to take great high-speed shots of various subjects. We didn't get a chance to cover the first episode when it first came out, and so now that episode two has debuted we thought we'd put them together in one.
The GoPro Hero3+ might be the king of action cams by some people's estimation, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. To that end, some Hero4 specs as well as a release date (range) have appeared on a small website called DGISE, and the specs at least seem to track with previous rumors.
Whether you're just starting to convert color to black and white or you've just never been satisfied with how your previous attempts have turned out, this short tutorial by Hong Kong street photographer Gary Tyson will come in very handy.
The new "Google Camera" app has gotten a lot of attention for its fancy fake-bokeh Lens Blur feature and its 50MP high-res Photo Spheres, but there's one feature that stands head and shoulders above the rest (okay, maybe we're exaggerating) and has gotten somewhat overlooked.
You see, Google Camera is also doing its best to help us win the war against that most unforgivable of smartphone video sins: Vertical Video.
Update: Brandon has uploaded the EMS photo below to the Saving Eliza SmugMug sale! Very appropriate that a photo of people who save lives be sold to help raise money to save a life! Click here to purchase a print of Brandon's photo and help raise money for Eliza.
Photographer Brandon Cawood's images of first responders look like they belong on movie posters, but the people in them are the actual heroes that we have to thank for taking care of us when we get hurt or are in trouble. The series is called "Not All Wear Capes," and if you have a friend or relative who is a first responder you should definitely send them a link.
Need a little pick-me-up this Saturday? Check out this funny tutorial titled "How to Make a Sick Mountain Bike Edit."
As the title indicates, this is aimed specifically at mountain bike videos, but it could easily be applied to just about just about every extreme sports athlete BTS video you'll find online. It's even spot on for BTS videos of action sports photographers.
Excessive Photoshopping has gotten a lot of press in recent years, and anti-Photoshop advocates might finally get what they've been seeking thanks to a new bill that just hit Congress.
Sony's RX100 Mark II doesn't need much improving, but it doesn't look like Sony is resting on its laurels where this fantastic point-and-shoot is concerned. According to a new patent unearthed by Egami, Sony is wanting to attach a 28-100mm f/1.8-2.8 lens to the powerful pocket cam's successor.
The video above is going viral, and as soon as you watch it, you'll understand why. Filmed Thursday by a Vancouver man named Dwayne Stewart, it shows how a couple of Air Canada baggage handlers 'handled' the carry on luggage that had to be gate-checked because it wouldn't fit on the plane.
In an effort to combat the ongoing belief amongst a great deal of the general public that pit bulls are an aggressive breed of dog, bred only to fight and hurt people, photographer Douglas Sonders has put together a PR campaign called Not a Bully -- and it is already helping to change people's perception of this lovely breed.
Photographer Darren Jew has captured some of Earth's most beautiful and pristine offerings, from the landscapes to the creatures that roam them. And in the above video shared by Canon Australia, we get a behind the scenes look at one of his most recent shoots.
When it comes to choosing an action cam to film your daring, crazy and possibly stupid adrenaline–fueled endeavors, there is no shortage of options. To help you make a more informed decision based on your needs and performance of the cameras, Gizmodo has tested six different action cameras, quite literally putting them head-to-head.
He's known as the author behind the famed Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by most, but the breadth of his disciplines goes far beyond literature. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, more commonly known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was also a logician, mathematician, an ordained minister and a photographer... yes, a photographer.
In this article, we'll share a collection of his work as we dive into his upbringing, his photography career and the controversy that surrounds it to this day.
It’s happened. Facebook, aka the free marketing platform we have come to know and love, now wants businesses and organizations to pay to engage with their own fans and followers. If you’ve noticed your reach and “likes” declining lately, you’re not alone.
Four years after the “unlawful seizure and destruction” of video from a citizen's phone took place, and thanks to some pressure from the US Department of Justice, The City of Baltimore has agreed to pay a fine to the tune of $250,000 to set things right.
Last month, Samyang released a couple of teasers that many believed were leading to the announcement of the new logo and autofocus lenses. And while the new logo did make an appearance, the major AF update that people were expecting never came.
Now the company is teasing us yet again with an ad from their Facebook page that invites viewers to "join the journey to the next level of creativity." A journey that will apparently lead to "the second step of Samyang Optics in 2014" and begins on April 28th.

As cameras get smaller, one of the places they can choose to save space is in the memory card department. A great case in point is the new Nikon 1 J4, which ditched standard SD cards in favor of their smaller micro counterparts.
The problem with this move is that microSD cards tend to be much slower than standard SD, but that might not be the case for too much longer thanks to Toshiba.
If you're commissioned to make an ad for a major camera company, might we make a small suggestion? Don't show any cameras. It might seem like a stupid idea on the surface, but when you consider the effectiveness of the Canon ad we shared a couple of weeks ago and this Pentax ad we're sharing today, you might just agree with us.
In the short video above Senior National Geographic Editor Pamela Chen gives us …
Photojojo comes from humble beginnings as a newsletter for the photography community, but it is a humble newsletter no more. Since those days, it has evolved into one of the go-to resources for the latest trendy gear, gadgets and accessories, and today, they announced their expansion into yet another market: rentals.
Update on 12/16/21: This video has been removed by its creator.
Two days ago was the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings, and in true Boston spirit, the city came out in force to show that this tragedy had not stolen, but rather strengthened its spirit.
When it comes to iOS as a whole, there's one aspect the operating system that frustrates me more than any other: photo management.
As I'm sure many can empathize with, my Camera Roll is filled with a collection of images from varying sources, with minimal methods of automated separation. Screenshots, photographs, saved images and anything else all wind up in one place where, for the most part, they're either stuck on your device and/or uploaded to your Photo Stream.
Thus, when it comes time to offload and archive the images on your device, it's nothing short or a logistical nightmare. Thankfully, Daniel Nicolae, the developer behind the wonderful note-taking app Meernotes, reached out to us with a new app he's been working on. It's called Tidy, and I'll give you a quick run-through of how it works and my thoughts on it below.
Over the past few years, I’ve become overly obsessed with photographing the night sky, so when I saw that we were going to be able to see the lunar eclipse on April 15, I knew I had to shoot it. I had been planning this shot for about two weeks before Tuesday morning.
Four years after initially covering the incredible journey of photographer Kirsty Mitchell's Wonderland series, we're here to present to you with another page of what Mitchell is calling Wonderland's final chapter, in the form of the behind the scenes of ‘The Stars Of Spring Will Carry You Home.’
We have our own Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art lens on the way for full review, but until then it's interesting to see what some of the big names in gear review are saying about this optical beast and how it compares to the Otus it was meant to compete with.
Today, one of the biggest of those reviewers, DxOMark, released the results of its tests -- and news is good if you're planning to pick one of these beauties up.
It's #throwbackthursday, right? Good, because we have a rather interesting piece of photography history to share with you, courtesy of NASA, Nikon and Kodak.
Today, Yahoo! has announced its biggest overhaul to the mobile Flickr experience yet. Appropriately sporting the 3.0 version name, this new Flickr experience turns what was once an attempt to bring the browser version of Flickr to mobile devices into an entirely new experience that they hope will feel as natural on a mobile device as Instagram.
