Recently, the U.S. design team at Induro, makers of the finest tripods money can buy, introduced a tripod head for sports, wildlife and nature photographers who work with very long, heavy telephoto lenses. It’s called a gimbal head, and the key to its success is the ability to easily balance heavy camera/lens systems. It does so by positioning the equipment at its center of gravity and essentially making it “weightless.” This provides a level of control, ease of handling and freedom of movement not possible with any other support system.

Peter Read Miller shares his Canon EOS-1D Mark IV secrets

Link:

Miller is a pretty low-tech guy when it comes to using a new camera like the Mark IV, but he has tried many different settings with his new cameras to come up with a system that works well for him.

“A number of people have asked me what custom functions I am using. The settings presented here (see below) have worked very well for me shooting football. Of course everyone’s shooting style is different, but at least you can give these a try as a starting point,” said Miller.

Fukase’s images are grainy, dark and impressionistic. Often, he magnifies his negatives or overexposes them, aiming all the time for mood over technical refinement. He photographs flocks from a distance, and single birds that appear like black silhouettes against grey, wintry skies. They are captured in flight, blurred and ominous, and at rest, perching on telegraph wires, trees, fences and chimneys. Fusake photographs them alive and dead, and maps their shadows in harsh sunlight and their tracks in the snow.

How To Hack Panasonic GH1 to Shoot Super High-Quality 24p Video and More

Canon isn’t the only game in town when it comes to hacking camera firmware. The famous CHDK firmware hacks now have a rival, at least if you are shooting with a Panasonic GH1, and especially if you are using the Micro Four Thirds camera to shoot video. The hack, called PTool, doesn’t add nearly as […]

The hack, called PTool, doesn’t add nearly as many features as the Canon hacks, but what it does is startling. With PTool, you can up the video bitrate of the GH1 from a pedestrian 20Mbit to 32MBit in AVCHD. If you opt for Motion JPEG (MJPEG), you can shoot at an astonishing 50 Mbit/sec at a full 1080p. This, according to testers, offers better quality footage than you get from the EOS 5D MkII. Above you can see an example. To view it in its full HD glory, click through to the Vimeo page

Liu works on a single photo for up to 10 hours at a time, and the result is both witty and unmistakably political and echoes the book, Where’s Waldo. Liu says he began the series after authorities shut down Beijing’s Suo Jiacun (Artist Village), in 2006. “At that time,” Liu told the Daily Mail, “contemporary art was in quick development in Beijing, but the government decided it did not want artists like us to gather and live together.” The photographs require him to pose for as long as ten hours while his collaborators perfect his painted disguise.
