Back in May I finally treated myself to a Canon G12, a piece of kit that Iâ??ve wanted since it was released the previous year, and I set myself a challenge: use it to photograph a friendâ??s wedding. My good friend Ruth was getting married not far from
If you’re buying your first dSLR camera, you are probably considering the purchase of a single lens that allows you to do ‘everything’ as you take a walk, a ‘walkabout lens’. Granted, this may not be the best quality lens around, but at least you won’t have to feel like your brand new dSLR [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/39/66/423966.jpeg[/IMG]
I know some people who like their images crisp and clear from foreground to background. Are you like that? You don’t like blurry edges framing your subject… You shoot in bright sunlight often, pointing away from the sun, or keeping the sun at a 30 degree angle… You’re not happy with your lens [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/39/58/423958.jpeg[/IMG]
If you use a Mac, you’re likely familiar with the Image Capture application, which lets your computer know what to do when a camera is plugged in to your computer; open it with iPhoto or open it with Lightroom. That’s great, but what if you have a few different cameras? What if you have an [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/39/51/423951.jpeg[/IMG]
I don’t imagine Kodak had the foresight in 1935 to understand the massive appeal and impact their new film stock was going to have, but when it hit the market that year, it changed the world of photography forever.

Photographers Matt Kloskowski and Scott Kelby have a new website which will air a weekly show about Nikon gear and Nikon related photography tips. This is a little strange, if only because it seems like one big advertisement for Nikon… and basically, that’s what it is – because the site is in fact sponsored by [...][IMG][/IMG]
A great picture is a record of light. Whether the picture is black and white or color, it’s the light in the picture that gets put to film (or memory card). A camera is generally pretty dumb when it comes to light. It relies on some automated sensors to tell it how much light and [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/39/39/423939.gif[/IMG]
I know, you (like most of us) think we’re beyond being told how to hold an SLR camera when taking a picture. You grab it by the grip, you cradle the lens, you hold still – and you snap the shot. Nothing could be easier. In my time around photographers (and around non-photographers who happened [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/42/39/34/423934.jpeg[/IMG]

Photography has always been a powerful medium to share images, but it has consistently been most powerful when used to share stories.

I can’t remember the last time I read something about photography that wasn’t online. I picked up National Geographic’s recent 50 Greatest Pictures issue recently and was totally enthralled by reading about the behind-the-scenes on some of their most iconic images.

For his project titled “Porcelain Figurines”, photographer Martin Klimas dropped various porcelain figurines onto the ground from a height of 3 meters and set up a camera to capture photos triggered by the sound of the crash.

Toys are getting fancier and cameras are getting weirder. Mattel is set to launch a new camera barbie called Barbie Photo Fashion that’ll upgrade many a dollhouse with a human-shaped 5-megapixel digital camera.
