It’s Morning Again in… Vancouver. Marco Rubio Misuses Vancouver Stock Footage As American Coast

February 18, 2016John Aldred

Stock footage and stills are used for more purposes than we can imagine, but they are often used in political campaign ads, even if the message they send is sometimes a little confused. In Marco Rubio’s case, it sends the message that his editing team aren’t very good at proofing the footage they license. In […]

February 18, 2016John Aldred

You might remember that World Press Photo announced new guidelines last year after controversy that saw around 20% of entries disqualified, but that doesn’t seem to have slowed down the entries.

Neuroscientist Take On Photography Is Hypnotic And Disgusting At The Same Time

February 17, 2016John Aldred

Having recently stumbled across the work of Scientist and Fine Art Photographer Dr Eran Gilat I immediately fell in love with it. Some may find his subject matter a little bit weird or creepy, but it definitely hits the spot for me from both aesthetic and technical standpoints. Perhaps that’s because it’s a little bit weird and creepy, but […]

February 17, 2016John Aldred

Color is something that’s on my mind a lot throughout the shoot process. It’s something to consider when planning, shooting or doing post work. This video from motion graphics artist Rhea Lelina Manglapus does a decent job at making color theory both fun to watch and pretty easy to grasp. Starting with the basics, Rhea takes us on a journey […]

360TB Disc that lasts 13.8 Billion years. Is this the future of data storage?

February 16, 2016John Aldred

When the clouds evaporate and your DVD, Blu-Ray and hard drive backups are no longer readable, what are you going to do about accessing your data? Valuable personal images might be gone forever (of course, that’s also a good argument for printing your photos), or perhaps you shoot for a living, and keep a permanent archive of all your […]

Short Movie Shows How Happy Casual Social Media Photos Are Really Taken

February 16, 2016John Aldred

I’ve always held the opposite opinion when confronted with the phrase “The camera never lies”. If you ask me, the camera’s always lied and that lying often causes controversy. This amusing video by Bí Kíp Sống Ảo goes some way towards showing just how true this is, especially when it comes to social media photography. Even before digital, the […]

First Hands On Review of the Nikon D5 and D500

February 15, 2016John Aldred

You may know that I’m already pretty sold on the Nikon D500, and the Nikon D5 doesn’t look too shabby, either. This hands on video by Jeremy Smith looks at both bodies and answers a couple of questions that I was having about the AF system and wireless capabilities of the D500. It also goes somewhat […]
