This Wedding Photographer Turns You Into a Miniature Person

If you ever find a lost GoPro, there's a decent chance you'll find footage of the camera's last moments with its owner on the memory card as long as it hasn't been destroyed. That's exactly what one fisherman just found in England.

Cameras are often pitted each other in the area of image quality, but long exposure sensor noise generally isn't something that you can easily compare online. So photographer Brendan Davey took it upon himself to create such a resource, and the Sensor Noise DB is what resulted.

Fujifilm made much of the speedier performance in the brand new Fuji X-T2. Burst mode (with the attached booster grip) is 11fps, EVF blackout had allegedly been improved "to the extreme," and AF-C had also seen substantial improvement. But how does the speedier new camera compare to a DSLR when shooting fast action?

"Master of Photography" is a new TV show that aims to do for photography what American Idol did for singing. Created by Sky Arts, it's the first TV talent show in Europe focused on photography.

There have been precious few Fujifilm X-T2's out in the wild ahead of this morning's release, but travel photographer Elia Locardi has had one for the last 2 months and he's sharing a crazy dynamic range demo with us today.

Using the right hashtags to get your work noticed on Instagram is an art in and of itself, that much we already know. But if this article wasn't enough help, a simple new Web tool called Dehaze makes finding the right hashtags a cinch!

If you're less-than-impressed with lightning captured at 240fps by an iPhone 6 Plus, then let this photo act as our apology. Captured from 37,000 feet above the Pacific ocean, it is, without a doubt, one of the most spectacular aerial storm images we have ever seen.

Curious what full-resolution files out of the mirrorless medium format Hasselblad X1D look like? We've got you covered. Photographer Ming Thein has been out shooting with the camera, and he's sharing some of his full-res samples with us today.

During a photo shoot last summer under the hot sun in the South of France, photographer Nède strapped a GoPro HERO4 Black to his chest to document what the wet plate collodion …

In Thailand, there's a wedding photography business that's attracting quite a bit of attention. It's called คนตัวเล็ก, which literally translates to "Small Person." The photographer's specialty is making couples look like miniature figures living in a giant world.

This photo of July 4th celebrations in Los Angeles shows 10 minutes worth of fireworks compressed into a single photo.

This quick demo is for those of you who can't afford a nice strobe. Don't think that being tethered to a speedlight means you have to keep that light on your hotshoe; getting a remote trigger and moving it off-camera can make a big difference.

After a month plagued by leaked photos, specs and even a video at one point, Fujifilm finally got to officially unveil the exciting new Fuji X-T2 today. A speedy upgrade to the X-T1 that Fuji is calling "the ultimate mirrorless camera."

Remember 6 days ago, when we said tiny storage like microSD was finally getting the R&D love it deserved? We may have been on to something, because Samsung just introduced a new kind of tiny memory card that could leave microSD cards in the dust.

The Dronestagram social network, in collaboration with National Geographic, have announced the winners of their 3rd annual International Drone Photography Contest... and there are some real stunners among the top shots.

This post will probably sound harsh to some, but I think it's needed as street photography has a problem. It may be because of a so-called renaissance in street photography in the past few years, or just the fact it's become fashionable, but the sheer number of terrible photos is quite impressive.

I'm like a lot of photographers. I want to shoot more often. And one big reason I don't shoot as much as I like is that I waste too much time reading about gear.

I'm a hobbyist bird photographer and I recently went birding in the Himalayan foothills in India, to a town called Sattal. For the trip, I rented a Canon 7D Mark II, 300mm f/2.8 II, and 2X TC III teleconverter. My own equipment is a 7D and 100-400L, both of the first generation.

Avoiding the paparazzi usually involves celebrities covering their faces or surrounding themselves with body guards, but why do that when you can just toss a stylish scarf around your neck? This anti-paparazzi scarf lets you do just that.

It's not 7,207fps to be sure, but this hand-held slow motion iPhone video of lightning lighting up the sky above Ashburn, Virgina is still really cool—all the more so for how accessible shooting slow motion footage like this has become.
