In 2 out of 3 point and shoot digital cameras, Fotonation has a bit of DNA. The coolest thing is that they are making the digital photography lives of the mainstream “point and shooters” into a foolproof world. At least from a technical aspect.
Quietly at first, they introduced Face Tracker technology, which sees your subjects […]

Put them all together and that spells……… mother.

I know you can tell how bad I sing JUST by the headline here. Cheers to Ricky Nelson for that classic song.

But what it does mean is that we have one of the best giveaways we’ve done here. And it is a cornerstone part of our new series on Photo Road Warriors.
( remember: […]

And by power, we mean battery power: juice, volts, extra life, batts, etc.
Since we are all out there shooting flashes, running digital cameras, using flashlights, editing on the laptops, and cranking on the phone we are using batteries. And hopefully rechargeable ones. Most of the items we list mainly use rechargeables as can the flashes […]

Yep, except for those of you in the land of wonder, the land down under, spring is coming. And you’ll be out and about making the photographs you been thinking about while stuck inside.

You may have heard of this:
The Eye-Fi card:
a 2gig SD card with Wi-Fi and can upload from any hotspot, to, at last count, 20 different sharing and printing services as diverse as Wal-Mart, Facebook, and Shutterfly.
You shoot, it uploads automatically, without the card ever leaving the camera.
Very cool.
The thing we had an issue with was […]

I told that we picked something up for at the exhibit last night. Now, it’s Martin Shoellers book of celebrity photographs, called Close Up ,which is pretty cool in itself, as the Female Bodybuilders has yet to be published in book form.

At the Ace Gallery in Beverly Hills last night, Martin Schoeller, opened an exhibit of a massive collection collection of new work.

This time we go in a little deeper in the camera bag, and see some of the needed bits for a pro on the job.
You also get a great perspective on women photographers working these gigs. With a real world message to women in the profession or thinking about it, Katy Winn gives support before […]

One of the cool things about this next video is that it’s the first time we’ve interviewed a female photographer. Nothing intentional, but glad we did. And for our female readers, apologies for taking this long.
To the dudes: you needed another perspective.
