A digital camera is a sensitive device. As such, it needs to be cleaned and cared for so it will always be on optimum performance. Proper maintenance will also ensure it lasts a long time and will help you avoid expensive repair costs. If you have an expensive camera and you use it for work, […]
There seems to be no end to the number of used cameras on eBay or other sales sites like Etsy. Everything from the old 120 and 620 film cameras, plate cameras, and everything in between, up to and including today’s most advanced digital models. If you’re into film there are literally thousands of cameras to […]
Zach Hetrick describes his project, The Brooklyn Drawing Board in this short film. This is what he calls a “personal project”, which he admits is just code for “practice”; this sounds almost disparaging, but of course these projects are the heart and soul of our continuing education in our craft. Work we do for clients […]
So I put together a short list of some of my favorite gear. I don’t own all of it (some day, maybe!) but I’ve used ’em and I highly recommend all of it. So if you’re ever looking to buy any of the stuff listed here, don’t hesitate; I personally guarantee its awesomeness. DSLRs Full […]
A digital camera today can be used with a wide range of accessories. The most commonly used are the lens, filter, external flash and tripod. But there’s also one very useful accessory which not many people know of. This is the telescope. When one hears about a digital camera and a telescope being used together, the first question that comes to mind is “How do you use a telescope with a camera or a camera with a telescope?” Some might also ask “Can these two work together?” The answer is yes, it’s possible to use these two together.

A night-time photo shoot often presents a problem or two, especially when including an element of interest in the background such as architecture. In most cases a tripod or some other method of stabilizing the camera will be necessary due to the slow shutter speeds used with low-light photography. But even with a tripod, our subject needs to remain somewhat statuesque to prevent blurring. If you’ve ever tried portraits at night, you’ll know that getting clean sharp shots is almost impossible when there’s any kind of movement.

Here are four dangers to your camera equipment you may encounter and what you can do about them. I can’t count how many times I’ve been caught in the rain while out taking pictures. Taking pictures of flowers with dew drops or rain drops on them can have a set back or two. And those expensive camera lenses seem to attract condensation like bees to honey.
The DSC-TX9, which has a 3.5-inch 921k resolution LCD touchscreen, and the DSC-WX5, which has a 2.8-inch LCD screen, also let you view images in a whole new way. Unlike 3D Sweep Panorama mode, which lets you view your 3D images on compatible 3D television systems, Sweep Multi Angle lets you view images moving in simulated 3D right on the cameras’ LCD screen by tilting the camera back and forth. This new shooting feature captures 15 images at different angles and then compiles them into one photo, creating a 3D-like effect on the display.
