It might not count as 'regulation,' and the footage of it actually being kicked around will make you nauseous, but we still think Adidas made the right choice when they turned one of their World Cup 'Brazuca' Soccer Balls into the 'Brazucam' with the addition of 6 action cameras.
Photographer Lindsey Villatoro of Lovesong Photography recently did something that is warming the hearts of the entire photo community and beyond: she gave a daughter the surprise of a lifetime when she put together a ceremony where her dying father got the chance to walk her down the aisle -- something he very likely won't get to do again.
For the first time ever, a meteor has been captured on camera falling through the sky after it has finished burning. And that's not all: the baseball-sized space rock nearly slammed into the man behind the camera.
Okay, it's probably safe to say that ONLY photography nerds and photo websites will notice this, but for those of us who fit into those two categories the posters below sit somewhere between amusing and annoying.
Editor's Note: Turn your volume way down before you click play. The video gets very loud very soon after it starts and we wouldn't want your boss knowing your watching cat videos at work... you're welcome.
Murmurings that Fujifilm will be one of the next companies to introduce a full-frame mirrorless camera aren't new. The X200 is supposedly going to be full-frame and Fuji's executives themselves confirmed that they "would like to challenge" the full-frame market when they spoke to DPReview at CP+.
The best camera is the one you have with you, and most of the time that camera is part of a device that also makes phone calls and serves as a platform for whatever Flappy Bird clone stole your heart when the original app was pulled.
It's been a while since we've shared a stop-motion film, but 'A Girl Named Elastika' by French filmmaker Guillaume Blanchet was a no-brainer. At once simple (equipment wise) and incredibly complex (how long did it take to move all those thumbtacks!?) the video is impressive from start to finish.
Nikon Rumors just reported a big one! Vague, but big. According to the well-connected rumor site, they have received the first ever "reliable" tip about a brand new high-end DX format (read: APS-C size sensor) DSLR from Nikon: The D9300.
iPhone lens attachments are nothing new, but soon there will be a new company vying for the attention of smartphone shooters: Lensbaby. The decade-old selective focus lens maker has unveiled a new patent-pending Sweet Spot Lens, which is designed specifically for giving iPhone photos Lensbaby's trademark look.
Now this is a composition. Spending an entire day just outside of LAX and another "eight or so hours" in Photoshop, photographer Mike Kelley put together a photo he's calling "Wake Turbulence" -- a composite that documents an entire day of departures from LAX.
An incredible short film series is coming to life thanks to the production prowess of Helio Collective and iconic camera brand Leica. Called "Let Us Roam," the series tells the stories of photographers, artist, filmmakers and musicians, all within the subculture of skateboarding.
If you follow the rumor mill -- and given how accurate rumor sites have gotten lately, many people do -- you'll know that the next big Fuji release was rumored by some to be the X-Pro1S. That, it seems, may have changed since the release of the X-T1.
Yes, we know it's the day after April Fools', but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this little gem. We're all fans of tutorials, right? Well, today we have for you a tutorial that will dramatically improve your capabilities in Photoshop. Photoshop 1.0, that is.
What happens when someone creates a camera sensor that better replicates how our eyes are shaped? Well, according to Sony and a recent presentation they published, this curved sensor and accompanying glass will allow for faster apertures without taking a hit on image quality.
When it comes to taking product shots of glossy items, one of the most difficult aspects is getting the correct amount of diffusion when using softboxes. When the incorrect amount of diffusion is applied (or the right amount is applied incorrectly) this can lead to harsh reflections and minimal gradients, which isn't usually the look you're trying to achieve.
Consider this your terrifying action cam video of the week... or year. In a nightmarish four-minute video uploaded earlier this year, a man gets stuck in a narrow part of a cave while trying to get out. And as if being stuck isn't horrifying enough when you're under ground, it seems the cave is also filling with water.
Taking a family portrait is never an easy task. There's often a small child involved, and parents who are trying to make sure said child is on their best behavior. Beyond that, as the group grows in size, the difficulty of organizing everybody and capturing a quality photo increases dramatically.
Tax Day is right around the corner, and the best thing you can do before you file (if you haven’t already) is to educate yourself. The second best thing you can do is keep good records, as you can often use the tax laws to your advantage if you’ve got the documentation to back up your claims.
We love seeing and hearing about the process of creating an image. The motivation behind a photo combined with a glimpse at how it was shot can be both inspirational and educational, which is a powerful combo.
This gorgeous photo, taken from the International Space Station, looks a bit like a meteor straight out of Armageddon headed right for a major city. Fortunately that's not the case, although you are indeed looking at a large, flaming object careening through the atmosphere and lighting up the clouds as it disintegrated during re-entry.
Yes, it's April Fools' Day, but this photo and those below aren't fakes. These are the real deal. Not that kind of real deal, though. These are photographs taken during training simulations in Houston, three months before these gentlemen, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, actually stepped on the moon.
Announced yesterday, just in time to cause a whole lot of confusion over the announcement's validity today, GoPro has debuted a plethora of new accessories for the Hero3 and 3+ cameras, as well as new software to help the action cams perform better.
Apparently NOT April Fools' joke, the world's fastest purchasable camera lens looks to have been posted -- and now sold -- on eBay earlier today. Supposedly in impeccable condition, with all caps and T-mount adapter included, the Canon 50mm f/0.75 went for a rather measly $500 in a quick "Buy It Now" purchase.
Following up with the puppy-love from yesterday, today we have a collection of photographs from Michigan-based photographer Rebecca Leimbach, documenting the growth of her children; one two-legged, one four-legged.
Composition and the rules that accompany it are some of the most basic aspects you learn when first picking up a camera. If you've been a photographer long, it's probably safe to say that the "rule of thirds" and "golden mean" are ingrained into your brain so well that it's second-nature now.
As we've done for the past couple of years, rather than try our hand at comedy and post something tricky on April Fools, we instead round up all the best photography April Fools' jokes we can find and post them all in one place.
i find this curious - two photos from today, one edited so my skin is perfect and one real. remember flaws are ok :-) pic.twitter.com/PuRhxt2u2O …
When it comes to nailing the white-balance in a photo, it's rarely an easy task, especially with portraits. It becomes even more arduous when you're trying to stylize the image a certain way, since you might not want the same tones and color balance in your skin tones as you do in the rest of your image.
French photographer Micaël Reynaud first made it onto the blog in May of 2012 when he created a trippy-but-cool example of what the dolly zoom (also known as the Hitchcock zoom) looked like when stretched to its extremes.
When it comes to spectacular landscape photography, Iceland is one of the foremost destinations. Stunning vistas (not to mention the aurora borealis) seem to greet photographers in every direction and so they take to the skies to capture aerial footage or set up their tripods and dollies and let the intervalometer do its thing.
If you're going to illegally climb tall buildings and other structures, and then do backflips while you're up there, expect to attract some attention of the police variety. But here comes the pro tip: when you do get caught, telling them you were taking 'panoramic photos' won't get you out of trouble if they saw the backflips.
