Welcome to a series of posts I’m calling Emerging Talent – where I’m spotlighting the work of photographers and filmmakers on the rise.

Samsung has sure rattled the cages of companies like Apple in its chase for market share in the smart phone market. The winner? Who knows.

Being able to concentrate is a great quality to have as a photographer, but make sure it doesn’t make you tunnel vision and cause you to miss shots.

If you were to lose your camera today, would anyone who found it be able to get in touch with you? If not, it might be a good idea to put a couple “digital dog tags” on your camera’s memory card.

I want to begin this review by stating that David DuChemin is one of my favorite photographic authors. His previous books, including “Within the Frame” and “Photographically Speaking” take photographers through the mental side of creating a photograph. Both books are dynamic, but ?Vision and Voice? is a different breed of photography books altogether. I [...]Post originally from: Digital Photography Tips.

My first glimpse of this unit was just prior to Christmas. Obviously Canon was mighty proud of it and, despite the Yuletide pressures, was keen to show it off, guarded by a raft of non-disclosure tie-ups. For some years now the G series has been the company’s compact camera tour de force, beginning with the [...]Post originally from: Digital Photography Tips.

For this short titled “Full Circle”, Callum Cooper attached a camera to the end of a jump rope and had a number of models use it.

Photographers are supposed to document news rather than make it, but a clumsy German photographer had the ill fortune of doing the latter in the most horrible way this past Wednesday.
