May 22nd 2012 - 0 comments

Are you so bad at photography that all your photographs are completely overexposed to the point of pure white? Good news: there may yet be artistic hope for you. The Hayward Gallery in London is planning to mount an “Emperor’s New Clothes”-style exhibition titled “Invisible”, which will only feature artwork that can’t be seen.

by NS_Photography

May 22nd 2012 - 0 comments

Hands down, the number one question I get is how to make better landscape images.

Photographer Takes to the Sky After Being Denied Access to Oil Mines

by NS_Photography

May 21st 2012 - 0 comments

When photographer Robert Johnson of Business Insider was denied so much as a tour of the Alberta Oil Sands, he could have given up. Instead he chose a more… aerial approach, renting a Cessna 172 to secretly photograph the secretive operation from just over 1,000 feet. The Alberta Oil Sands are the second largest oil [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/48/48/474848.jpeg[/IMG]

Nokia made quite a splash earlier this year by unveiling the PureView 808 — a smartphone with a large 41-megapixel sensor and a high quality Carl Zeiss lens.

When photographer Ian Spanier was assigned to shoot 4-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler at his home in Vegas, the budget wouldn’t allow him to hire an assistant.

May 21st 2012 - 0 comments

Depending on your subject matter, it can be a very good idea to take out a damage waiver when renting camera equipment. Wildlife photographer Andrew Kane learned this recently after renting gear from LensRentals for a shoot in Yellowstone. Here’s his account of how the borrowed equipment ended up broken: I recently rented a D4, [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/47/93/474793.jpeg[/IMG]

Say you’re shooting a wedding, and say for some reason you’re taking a food break, and say for some other reason you happen to be taking that break while the father is giving a toast you should probably be taking pictures of.

by NS_Photography

May 21st 2012 - 0 comments

If you went outdoors to observe the solar eclipse yesterday, you might have noticed that the shadows cast by trees had suddenly become quite strange. The tiny gaps between leaves act as pinhole lenses, projecting crescent shaped images of the eclipsed sun onto the world below. Here are a couple videos showing the same thing: [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/47/58/474758.jpeg[/IMG]

May 21st 2012 - 0 comments

It’s certainly not as strange or unexpected as their possible move into the world of cosmetics, but rumors are now floating around that Nikon is getting serious about making video cameras. In an interview with TechRadar, a spokesperson for Nikon UK said that Nikon “is not a broadcast company… yet.” He went on to imply [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/47/45/474745.jpeg[/IMG]

May 21st 2012 - 0 comments

Photographer Cory Poole created this time-lapse video of yesterday’s solar eclipse using 700 photographs shot through a telescope that filters out the sun’s photosphere and captures its chromosphere. Wikipedia has some neat photos of the eclipse, including images of crescent shaped shadows cast by the sun during the event.

Modular Cameras Continue to Revolutionize The Industry

by NS_Photography

May 21st 2012 - 0 comments

Camera “concepts” are a dime a dozen. BUT…I always love it when smart designers take an idea we take for granted–like that consumer/pro-sumer camera made up of a singular body with various other moving parts–and totally shreds it. This is the case with numerous new/emerging manufactures at the moment…RED, GoPro, and even iPhone all fall [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/47/00/474700.jpeg[/IMG]

May 21st 2012 - 0 comments

As the saying goes “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but why not make it better?

30 Minute Video Limit in Digital Cameras May Be On Its Way Out

by NS_Photography

May 21st 2012 - 0 comments

News recently broke that the 30 minute (or rather 29 minute and 59 second) time limit on DSLR video may soon be a thing of the past. Interestingly however, the reason for the potential change has nothing to do with updated hardware or software. The only reason DSLRs don’t already shoot longer video is because [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/47/46/29/474629.jpeg[/IMG]
