Since the announcement of the Leica M9, there has been much interest in the powerful but little camera. The main reason for this is the full frame sensor in such a small body. I had the pleasure an…

Wedding photographer Kevin Kubota, who earns a good part of his living by teaching and inspiring other photographers, served up many useful ideas at his seminar on Friday afternoon. Here are 10.9 of them:
A couple days ago, Adobe released Lightroom 3.0 Beta 1, which introduces a variety of new features, but also introduces a new RAW processing engine. While
White House photographer Pete Souza and his staff are taking plenty of pictures of the Obama daughters. You’re just not going to see them for a decade or so.
Most photographers would now agree that proficiency with photo-editing software is also a critical skill. So we asked six photographers to tell us about their favorite image processing applications and add-ons as well as share their best tips for making and digitally refining images.
The only bad news for me – is that this is a bit too much of Deja Vu – and that I did everything that I could to prevent a repeat of last year (when Reverie was also pulled down after it was initially posted – and then reposted a few days later on Canon’s site.) This kind of “excitement” is not something that I look forward to – and I had wished to have this video available to share with everyone for the week of the release of the Canon 1D MKIV. It was awkward to say the least to be presenting on stage this week at the Expo – and showing “Reverie” again – a video that was more than one year old.
Tim Hetherington began his seminar, “The Documentary Hybrid: Photography & Filmmaking,” this afternoon with a statement he admitted was a little bit strange given the setting: “I’m not interested in photography, I don’t really care for it,” he said.
Fast forward to the present time and I am a proud owner of the Canon 7d. This incredible camera for its price range is a game changer as far as I am concerned. Previous cameras like the Canon5dmkII and the extremely compact Panasonic GH-1, though producing beautiful looking images, did not answer my wish for a new VDSLR workhorse, the problems being the 30p frame rate restriction and lack of a clean low light capability respectively.
Often, direction on the part of the photographer is applied in the reenaction of a scene. In such cases, it becomes necessary to interrupt the natural course of action by stopping or repeating.
Ever wanted to quickly show an art director or client a work in progress in Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.? Here’s how to do it (1-minute demo): Be honest: you had no idea you could do this, ri…
The photographers in this exhibition are some of the best in the world. Uriel Sinai and Amit Shabi have been awarded in the World Press photography competition, Jafar Ishtyeh and Mahmud Hams have won the Prix Bayeux war photography prize and all of the other photographers have received various awards and accolades.
This exhibition would not have been possible without their generosity and their help in suggesting and recruiting the other photographers – even ones from “the other side.”
