If you’ve been using the excuse that you’re not making powerful shiznit because you’re not a full-time photographer, take a lesson from this guy. Chris Arnade is 46, lives in New York, and is a banker by day. But it’s not his ability to count money that’s gotten him a lot of press lately…it’s his [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/06/85/440685.jpeg[/IMG]
Unless you’re constantly staring at photos of yourself, the image that comes to mind when you think of your own appearance is most likely not what other people (and cameras) see, since mirrors show us a flipped image of ourselves. With this in mind, Los Angeles-based photographer Juan Luis Garcia is working on a project [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/06/52/440652.jpeg[/IMG]
There is no doubt iPhones are becoming useful tools in the photography realm. The latest 8MP camera on the iPhone 4s has utility worth mentioning and using.

Albert Kahn was a wealthy French banker who launched a project in the early 1909 that aimed to create a photographic record of the world.

36 of American photographer William Eggleston‘s digital pigment prints were auctioned off at Christie’s on Monday, fetching a whopping $5.9 million — far more than the $2.7M they were expected to sell for. Eggleston is credited with helping making color photography a legitimate artistic medium for galleries, which had previously favored B&W prints. A print [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/04/49/440449.jpeg[/IMG]
The Pink & Blue Project by South Korean photographer JeongMee Yoon started seven years ago after she photographed a portrait of her 5-year-old daughter sitting next to her beloved pink possessions.

People’s interest in maternity photography has really exploded over the last few years. 8 years ago, when I was pregnant with my first son, you couldn’t have paid me a million dollars to document myself in that “condition.” Pregnancy kicks my trash. I don’t just do the “basketball under the t-shirt” look. . . oh [...]Post originally from: Digital Photography Tips.

In the old days, affordable consumer cinema cameras used the same film as high-end ones, allowing everyday folk to capture high-quality videos. All that changed when digital video rolled around. However, there’s a new camera in development called the Digital Bolex that aims to bring us back to that: The Digital Bolex is a ?digital [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/01/52/440152.gif[/IMG]
One of the most important things I?ve learned during my ongoing adventure as a small-town, self-employed photographer is that nothing is more important than the relationships I?m building. So when I decided sometime last year that I was going to do a 2012 promo I wanted to create something that looked elegant, something that the [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/01/07/440107.jpeg[/IMG]
YouTube filmmaker Casey Neistat‘s DSLR recently took a tumble, breaking a piece off of the built-in lens hood of his Sigma lens. Instead of sending the lens in for repairs, Neistat decided to do a thrifty repair himself. After finding a similar-sized jar lid on some peanut butter at a local grocery store, he created [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/00/90/440090.gif[/IMG]
The KillShot is a rifle-shaped digital camera that’s designed to let hunters shoot photographs instead of bullets without losing the feel of working with a rifle. Designed to look just like a standard hunting rifle, the camera features a scope with crosshairs on top that serves as the viewfinder. The resulting photographs serve as trophies [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/00/77/440077.jpeg[/IMG]
Sony has announced the Alpha A57 pellicle mirror camera, the successor to its A55 released a year and a half ago. While the sensor resolution is still 16-megapixels — no megapixel war here — the new camera has an increased ISO limit of 16,000 (up from 12,800), a faster continuous shooting rate of 12fps (up [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/00/47/440047.jpeg[/IMG]
Here’s a helpful video that shows how you can optimize your Canon DSLR for video recording based on Vincent LaForet‘s recommendations. It’s geared towards the 5D Mark II, but is applicable for other video-capable DSLRs as well (e.g. 5D Mark III and 7D). There’s also an article over on LaForet’s blog that explains the reasoning [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/44/00/18/440018.gif[/IMG]
The Sigma 50-500mm is something of a specialty lens. I say this because, while a 10x zoom seems like a good investment, you really need to have a reason to pick up this hefty, useful tool. The price is moderate for quality glass but the size is something else. Here, take a look: That?s the [...]Post originally from: Digital Photography Tips.

Sigma made a bold move with its SD1 DSLR camera last month, slashing $6,400 off the camera’s list price to drop it from $9,700 to $3,300. The “street” price — how much the camera is actually priced in stores — was lowered from $6,900 to $2,300.

Physics guru David Prutchi recently came across a line of professional grade gyroscopic camera stabilizers by Kenyon Laboratories. They cost thousands of dollars each, but Prutchi noticed that the designs hadn’t changed much since they were first patented in the 1950s. He then set out to create his own DIY version using low-cost gyroscopes from [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/43/99/10/439910.jpeg[/IMG]
Daylight saving time started this past Sunday. Unless you’ve been operating an hour off from those around you, you probably remembered to change the clocks around your home and in your car… but did you remember to change the clock in your camera?
