The new version includes improved media management and improved image quality built on “modern foundations,” with top-to-bottom color management and a new look. FCP X features resolution-independent playback all the way from SD up to 2K and 4K formats. It now leverages Grand Central Dispatch to take advantage of all cores on the Mac plus the GPU. The crowd goes wild, especially as Steinauer suggests that the ever-popular render bar will now be a thing of the past.

San Quentin Prison Portraits a Compulsion and a Springboard for Stefan Ruiz

Ruiz likes to “work with the person.” From telenovela actors to hospital patients and clinicians and from rodeo queens to refugees, Ruiz has connected with his subjects through a transparent discussion about what they can achieve together with a device that records and stores their likeness.

Photog Reflects on Images of Oil Spill Drowning

Photog Reflects on Images of Oil Spill Drowning

Last July, while America was coming to terms with the fallout from the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, China itself was dealing with the largest oil spill in its history in the city of Dalian. During the spill, a fatal act of bravery was caught on film by

“Had I not taken these picture of Zhang Liang, his sacrifice would have perhaps gone unnoticed and people would not have been aware of the extent of the oil spill,” says Lu Guang in Through the Lens: the Dalian Oil Spill, a short video produced by Greenpeace.

All National Geographic photographer Mark Moffett wanted to do was travel peacefully to Colombia and photograph the world’s most poisonous frog. Instead, he ended up on a road trip through the rain forest with a male stripper from Miami. They get horribly drunk, develop open sores, are run out of a village, and become pariahs in another town when they show up with a basket full of said poison frogs. But they did get the photos.

The Bang Bang Club is the real life story of a group of four young combat photographers – Greg Marinovich, Joao Silva, Kevin Carter and Ken Oosterbroek – bonded by friendship and their sense of purpose to tell the truth. They risked their lives and used their camera lenses to tell the world of the brutality and violence associated with the first free elections in post Apartheid South Africa in the early 90s. This intense political period brought out their best work (two won Pulitzers during the period) but cost them a heavy price. Based on the book of the same name by Marinovich and Silva, the film stars Ryan Phillippe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch and explores the thrill, danger and moral questions associated with exposing the truth.

Photography at the Speed of Light

Honest to God, I have no idea what you do with a speed of 1,000,000. Make handheld photographs by starlight? Just sayin’—it can be done, and we haven’t exhausted the bag of technical tricks so don’t assume that even this represents that performance brick wall.

DSLRnewsshooter’s Matt Allard and Dan Chung file reports from the Japan Tsunami zone

Both Matt and myself have been covering the tragic events surrounding the Tsunami in Japan. I have left Japan now but Matt is still there and headed back into the disaster zone to do more reports. I’m sure both of us will talk more about what it was like later on, but for now the story is the priority.

Journalists Face Big Challenges in Libya

Brian Stelter reports on how journalists are facing big challenges getting into Libya, and getting the story out.

In the bottom right-hand corner of the poster was a label, too sophisticated to be a graffiti artist’s tag but something along those lines: a Japanese-like calligraphic symbol concocted from the letters “J” and “R” above a Web address. Suddenly, amid all the fear and long-bred loathing, questions were being asked about this strange work of art. How did it come to be there? Who was, as one newspaper asked, “this kamikaze image-maker,” JR?
