One option on the market these days is Western Digital's My Cloud Pro Series line. We reviewed the WD My Cloud Pro Series PR2100 to see what it's like to set it up in your photo studio.
Apple, we had a good run… Through the many iPads, iPhones, MacBooks, Mac Pros, heck, even the Apple Watch, it was a good run indeed. However, times have changed, and that beauty that was once your innovation has now been covered up with the makeup that is nice marketing.
It's not every day that you come across a camera that's big enough for the photographer to stand in. But that's what photographer Ross den Otter built for the recent Capture Photography Festival in Vancouver, Canada: he shot portraits from inside a 4x8x8-foot camera obscura.
Neil Leifer's photograph of Muhammad Ali standing over a knocked out Sonny Liston is, without a doubt, the most iconic image of the heavyweight champion ever captured. And now, you can own the photographer's own print of the photo, signed by Ali himself.
The folks at RocketJump Film School had a little bit of fun with food last month. Just before Thanksgiving, they gave us a peek at some of the weird tricks food stylists and food photographers use to make their meals look delicious (but taste gross).
Not satisfied with the massive glass plate camera (nicknamed "baby") he was already shooting with, photographer Kurt Moser decided to go big for his next camera ... like really super massive big. 45-year-old Russian military truck big.
If you're an Olympus OM-D E-M1 user, we'd suggest you hold off on updating to the latest firmware. Version 4.2, which added some focus stacking capabilities, seems to be leading to corrupt images and locking up cameras.
The kit lens that comes with most consumer-grade and entry-level DSLRs—the infamous 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6—isn't exactly anybody's "go-to" lens. It's far from useless though—here are three simple "hacks" that'll help you squeeze a bit more performance out of your kit lens.

I woke up this morning and like every other Saturday morning before I even get out of bed, I check my emails and social media accounts to make sure I haven’t missed anything important while asleep.
For some reason, "entry-level" mirrorless cameras almost all have one thing in common: a cringe-worthy focus on selfies—the Olympus E-PL8, Panasonic GF8, and Fuji's own X-A2 are all great examples of this. Sadly, Fujifilm has not strayed from this formula with the brand new entry-level X-A10.
DRTV has officially lost all three of its best-known personalities. Alamby Leung left suddenly in 2013. Kaiman (Kai) Wong, the face of the show, announced his departure last week. And now Lok Cheung, DRTV's lovable cameraman, announced that he has resigned.
After our first visit to Yosemite National Park, my girlfriend and I have made it our goal to try to visit as many National Parks as possible.

The oldest surviving Nikon camera is now also the most expensive. We reported back in October that the third Nikon 1 rangefinder ever made would be hitting the auction block at Westlicht with an estimated max value of $200,000.
