Woman Attacked by Crocodile While Trying to Take a Photo With It

Photographer Andy Seliverstoff over St. Petersburg, Russia, has been working on a heartwarming photo project that will put a smile on your face, particularly if you're a dog lover. It's titled, "Little Kids and Their Big Dogs."

Is a 52-week photo challenge not enough for you this year? Want a 365-day challenge? If so, there's now a calendar you should download and print out.

My original 52 Week Challenge in 2016 was a huge success, with tens of thousands of photographers participating from around the world. In celebration of those who have completed the first challenge, a new challenge is now here!

A Thai flight attendant who was popular on Instagram has deleted her entire account after it was discovered that many of her personal photos were actually faked by inserting herself into stolen background photos.

If you're keeping track today, the score is Big Corporations: 1, Photographers: 1. Because while Carol Highsmith might have all-but-lost her epic lawsuit against Getty Images, a photographer in Germany came out on top when he took Facebook to court.

When photographer Tamás Szarka of Budapest, Hungary, takes his down Strawberry for walks, he often brings a camera to capture the 6-year-old boxer's crazy facial expressions as she sprints around.

Another year has come to a close. As we wrap up 2016, here's a look back at the 10 most popular posts published on PetaPixel over the past 365 days.

If you're in the market for a high-end full-frame camera, chances are good the Canon 5D Mark IV, Sony A7R II, and Nikon D810 are all contenders. Check out this side-by-side comparison if you're having a hard time deciding which of the three is best for you.

Fine Art photographer Lucas Zimmermann's long exposure photographs of traffic lights in the fog are oddly satisfying. At once creepy and serene, his 2013 series Traffic Lights and this month's follow-up Traffic Lights 2.0 are both worth checking out.

You have no doubt heard of the Golden Ratio, which is somehow or other connected to the Golden Mean and the Fibonacci Spiral, which is oft-touted as the basis of all great compositions. It is less likely that you have heard of the Diamond Ratio.

If there is one genre of street photography I specialize in, it is street portraiture. I love talking with my subjects, engaging with them, and focusing on their faces. If I started shooting street portraits all over again, this is the advice I would give myself.

Artists have long used the golden ratio as a guide for creating aesthetically pleasing art, as it's believed that the human brain is hardwired to find the proportions inherently beautiful. Take a look at the work of legendary photographer Ansel Adams, and you may find the golden ratio tracing out many of their notable features.

Magic Lantern may soon release their most popular feature since RAW video. A few of the folks who constantly improve the Canon software add-on have just found a way to generate 14-bit lossless DNG RAW files in-camera!

If you're looking to get better at photography in 2016, one great option is to do a 52-week photography challenge that forces you to complete regular assignments throughout the whole year. And we've found a great one you can take on as your new year's resolution.

Famous photographers throughout history have produced some incredible images that have stood the test of time, but it's not only their photographs that are inspirational. Their acute insights into the creative process have guided generations of photographers and shaped the way even today's best photographers think about their subjects and scenes. If you're stuck for inspiration, or even motivation, we've put together 50 quotes from the most inspirational and talented photographers the world has seen to help you get your mojo back.

Here's an amazing short film titled "The Old New World" by photographer and animator Alexey Zakharov of Moscow, Russia. Zakharov found old photos of US cities from the early 1900s and brought them to life.

Here's a solid photo tip: never take a picture that involves someone squatting right next to a wild crocodile. A French woman was injured in Thailand yesterday after she tried to pose for a snapshot next to a large croc.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But I wonder, what else do "they" say? In order to find out I've culled together the best quotes on the subject of photography. I hope they inspire you.

There is a big craze for Sony full frame (FF) mirrorless cameras at the moment, and seeing people rush onto that bandwagon is like watching lemmings following each other over the cliff.

Ever wonder what the difference between an F-Stop and a T-Stop is? If you've never bothered to look up and understand this bit of light transmission trivia, listen up: this simple video does the work for you.
