Our software developer and a astrophotographer Alex Cherney has just released yet another gorgeous time-lapse video that he shot during his most recent winter holiday. Alex went to Lake Tekapo on South Island of New Zealand over the course of six nights to shoot the mountain peaks, clouds, mist and starry sky of the Tekapo Starlight Reserve in motion. The lights of Lake Tekapo village and passing cars under the blanket of fog made for a...

I’m a huge sucker for time-lapse video, especially ones that involve the Milky Way or the Aurora. Check out this gorgeous video below that was shot by Alaska-based photographer Zan Butler. The video was shot during October 2011 and April 2012, so you can bet the weather was nothing but blazing cold. I think there’s a bit of a camera shake at the beginning of the video, and some towards the end, but overall, the video is great. I...

The lens or focal length of the lens you choose has a profound impact on the image. It affects the perspective, background and features of the subject. In this video, Jay P. Morgan will go over what the different focal lengths do to the human face and how they change the background. Why do you choose a 135 mm lens to shoot a head shot of a beautiful woman but use a 24mm to shoot a clown. Jay will also go on to demonstrate a simple 2-light...

Some of us get our gear insured to protect our gear from being lost or broken on the job. Some write their name and number on every piece of equipment they own. Be that as it may, sometimes things happen due to absentmindedness that you can’t prevent from happening. Take, for example, the experience that Casey Neistat had recently. Casey Neistat is a New York-based filmmaker who travels the world for his work. In one of his latest...

A few months ago, I posted a few BTS videos of Steve Shaw, who shot Emily Ratajkowski in April. Steve Shaw is one inspiring England-based photographer who shoots mainly for Treat! Magazine and celebrities. The story of how he got into high-end fashion photography is quite fascinating. Steve started out as assistant at a large photography studio in Manchester. Long story shorts, Steve moved to California a few years later. He then got a job...

If you’re a wedding photographer, you should know how important it is it photograph wedding rings; or, we sometimes call it “ring shots”. Things get quite hectic on the wedding day, so you only have at most a few minutes to get the shots. Things get even trickier when you try to capture the ring shots while stylizing the photos to best represent your brand. Jasmine Star has made a video with some very nice tips for...

Holy shiznizz the shit just hit the fan, ladies and gents. Devin “Super Tramp” Graham and his crew just finished a camera battle movie that has somewhat of a WWII theme. The idea isn’t exact new, as we’ve seen it done before by the guys from The Camera Store and the guys from Switzerfilm. This time, Devin actually spent all of his saving money into making this video. I mean, the guy had people running around with...

It looks like Canon has done it again with releasing another camera that pretty much takes away the spotlight from Nikon. Introducing the new the EOS-M camera’s 18-megapixel APS-C-sized CMOS image sensor, I’ll admit that I’m already liking it more than the Nikon’s mirrorless J1 and V1 bodies with a smaller sensor. What makes it even a better deal is that the new Canon EOS-M will come bundle with a pancake 22mm f/2.0 STM...

This video below goes to show that good photographs are not always taken using expensive equipment. Zack Arias took a challenge from DigitalRev to shoot street people in Hong Kong. The kicker is: he was only given a Kodak point-and-shoot camera that was having sync problems with a Nikon flash. Unsurprisingly, Zack ended up with a very strong set of photos. It’s always interesting and mesmerizing to see street people’s reactions...

The first video was made in January of 2011; the second video was made in...
