A report published in the famed journal Science is giving us, perhaps, our first look at the future of optical technology. And that future comes bearing camera lenses that are thinner than a human hair.
After seeing a drone crash in the distance, a woman took it upon herself to take it and claim the drone “almost killed her” to the police after she is confronted by the quadcopter’s owners. Fortunately, the drone recorded the whole thing…
In this blog post, I would like to share some insights with you regarding the connection between aperture and the inverse-square law of light, as well as their effects on light fall-off.
I was editing some images that I took last week in New York City, including some taken from the observation deck of the Empire State Building. Then I remembered that I had taken some shots of the same view from the same location, 15 years ago.
I’m old. Believe me, I know it. I’ll be 70 in a few months. That fact may make it hard for you to take me seriously, but bear with me for just this post. With age comes wisdom, right? What I want to write here is that I think the field of photography by those making art is changing in a disturbing way. Read on.
It’s happened. 10 weeks after announcing the impending change and dealing with a huge freakout, Instagram is officially rolling out its Facebook-like algorithmic feed to everybody worldwide. Bye-bye chronological feed…
I shoot with a Sony a6000, a Sigma 19mm f/2.8, and a vintage Helios 44-6. My entire kit cost me less than $500 (second hand) and technically, it sucks.
RYOT, in association with Apple, has captured one of the most captivating, moving, stunning short documentaries you will see this year, or possibly ever… and they did it all on an iPhone 6S.
Salar de Uyuni is a gigantic salt flat found in southwest Bolivia. Measuring over 4,000 square miles (10,000+ square km), it’s the world’s largest salt flat. The ground is especially flat and white, and is often used to calibrate instruments on satellites due to its properties.

I tracked over 10,000 likes and followers I received on Instagram in May, 2016. Here’s a look at the data and what I discovered.
My name is Justin Tierney, and I’m a time-lapse photographer based in Japan. The opening section of my latest time-lapse project features nocturnal Japanese cityscapes. All the shots were captured from high hotel windows or observation towers around Tokyo. In this short article I share how I was able to create these shots without unwanted window reflections.
During the Stanley Cup Finals match between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the San Jose Sharks last night, some poor photographer accidentally dropped his camera lens onto the rink through the special hole cut into the glass. The lens was then whacked like a puck before it was removed.
Wildlife photographer Steve Perry of Backcountry Gallery got his hands on the $1,997 Nikon D500 on the first day it was available. 6,000 real-world photos later, he just published this 25-minute video review with his thoughts on how the camera performs for his purposes.
Making perspective adjustments on a photograph usually impacts the whole thing, but that’s not always ideal. What if you want to keep your foreground perspective the same and only fix a small piece of your shot? This short tutorial shows you how to do just that.
Not so long ago I posted a little rant against Lightroom on Reddit. I use Lightroom on a daily basis. It’s a great piece of software, and it does two things very well: cataloging and RAW processing. My problem is with the interface.
Steve McCurry is, perhaps, one of the most iconic names in the National Geographic pantheon. A travel photography giant, his vibrant images have inspired millions, but he’s recently come under fire over Photoshop use after a botched print at a show in Italy was found to have a serious issue.
For the recent “New York Issue” of The New York Times Magazine, mountaineer and Nat Geo photographer Jimmy Chin was sent to the top of the tallest point in New York City: the One World Trade Center’s spire. And this vertigo-inducing 360° video lets you join him up there.
