I feel like I’m pretty much the only person in the time-lapse world who doesn’t know how to make a hyper-lapse video. Check out the video below called “A Moving Visit to the Hermitage” that was shot by Geoff Tompkinson. Not only am I impressed by the amount it took Geoff to secure the access to such a location, but I’m also amazed by the movement of his camera. I mean, we’re probably talking about at...

Talented photographer Joerg Niggli has been working on a series of 4 time-lapse videos showcasing Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, an Arab kingdom in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the River Jordan. The project was commissioned by the Jordan Tourism Board, and was to shoot some of the biggest cities of Jordan, such as Amman and Wadi Rum. Shooting the images for all four videos took Joerg Niggli 12 days during the rather hot month of July...

London-based photographer Mattia Bicchi spent more than 20 hours at White Cliffs, Dover to shoot this awesome time-lapse video below. He spent most of his time walking at night from place to place, and napping while capturing the footage. I really have nothing negative to say about the video except for the fact that it’s too short It’s rare that you see the sky that that’s clear, plus the movement of the clouds really...

Here’s another excellent interview that was shot on Chase Jarvis LIVE. In this episode, Chase invited Ryan Holiday, who’s the author of a book called “Trust Me, I’m Lying“. Ryan Holiday is a [social] media genius and manipulator (some might even call him “hoax artist”). He dropped out of college when he was 19 years old, started working for American Apparel when he was 20, and now he’s...

Guys, this is some awesome behind-the-scene footage of our inspiring photographer Von Wong shooting ballet dancers at the National Slovak Theater. Since the dancers are normally restricted to a set of routines, Von Wong’s shoot was practically an opportunity for the ballerinas to get out, relax, and improvise using their skills and creativity. During the 7-minute video, Von Wong will go over some tips on shooting in public place, and...

Guys, check out this cool Photoshop tutorial video below that I recently found on PHLearn. Aaron Nace will walk you through creating a cinemagraph image using any camera and Adobe Photoshop CS6. Cinemagraph is a type of pictures wherein only a small part of the picture has motion, while the rest of the image remains still. Imagine 20% GIF + 80% JPG. Microsoft has their own version of the software, which they call Research Cliplets. I gave...

Pye and the guys from SLRLounge have done us a huge favor; they went out and bought a bunch of different AA batteries to test and see how well they perform for our camera flashes. I wish the tests were more thorough, in the sense that I wanted to see how consistent the flash was pumping out; however, their tests did conclude that some battery brands are just absolutely bad news, like the Energizer and the Kirkland. In terms of heat and...

Photographers and creative minds alike, this Kickstarter project is for you: the awesome custom design “iCanvas” iPhone case. The core idea is for you to be able to upload the photo of your own design, and then have it laser cut or engraved on the back of the iPhone case. The concept isn’t that new, but what’s different about this case is that it “snaps” on. I have experience with other aluminum cases...

This video below is going to make you trip some major ballsack today. It started out as someone taking a picture of himself next to a monitor with a girl’s picture on it. After finding out that the girl wasn’t too happy about it, he deleted his picture, citing “Mal is pissed”. Little did he know, the Internet has its memory for forever. 10 minutes later, there was a picture of his roommate and co-worker posing with a...

The talented videographer Devin “Super Tramp” Graham has just released another video that he recently shot in Kenya, East Africa. Due to his last video called “Camera Warfare“,  some might say he’s amateur. However, I personally think this video below is looking like a real professional project. Y’know, the kind that you’d normally find yourself watching on the History or the Discovery channels. I...
