How to build the world’s brightest, craziest, LED light serving 1800W

Udi Tirosh

Here is an entry that will probably go down  as a totally impractical build, but it is just so insane that I had to share it. I mean I can’t see anyone actually using such a bright light (especially with the low CRI they probably produce), but it can set the ground for some a groundbreaking […]

Udi Tirosh

The Yi 4K action camera has been out for a while now and reviews are starting to reel in. We seen quite a few of them (and we will have one of our own soon), but this one review got us thinking that the YI 4K is indeed a gopro killer. This review from Techmoan has […]

This is how you build a portable charger case to answer all your power needs

Udi Tirosh

If you are shooting on location (and even if not) you must have a ton of batteries to power your production war-horse. The camera takes batteries, the lights take batteries, remotes, phones, monitors. Actually, most devices take more than one battery. And every battery set want their own charger. And every charger want it’s out […]

Professional retoucher “spills the beans” on how swimsuit campaigns are really edited

Udi Tirosh

We know that those models that we are seeing on cover shoots have been shooed to death. We shared a few of those before/after over the years (see here, here and here for just a few). So we know that extreme retouching exists, and we also know that it’s an issue that bogs both models […]

Teens shoot real-time, 4K drone footage of their boat being stolen, police recovers the vehicle

Udi Tirosh

One of the greatest impacts of “drones” coming into our lives is the impact it has on photojournalism. Drones can go places that photographers just can’t go by foot. Here is a story that illustrates this perfectly (though its only relation to photography is the drone involved). According to ABC, a couple of teenagers – Chris […]

This 24 square meter contact print is the largest ever

Udi Tirosh

Looking at a print 24 square meters large up close is impressive, but having it made from a contact print elevates it to quite a different level. Contact print is a way of printing photographs in which the negative (or positive) is pressed against a the photo paper and then exposed. This creates a photo at […]

Udi Tirosh

Here is an interesting story. And I do wonder what the industry thinks about this. I guess there is a trend of celebrities taking on any job they want,simply becasue they are celebrities. It is not uncommon to have celebrities turning chefs, fashion designers, actors, singers and many (MANY) other jobs. Now, Kendall Jenner (wink, wink) […]

Canon patents 40-800mm F4.5-5.6 lens, it would be great if it’s made, but I am skeptical

Udi Tirosh

Canon just patented a 40-800mm lens. Isn’t this just incredible. In old point and shoot terms the box would have been marked X20. You have to admit it’s impressive. I mean, the only thing that comes close to that is my old 14-400 modem. Oh, it is full frame too. It’s not that there were not huge zooms ranges […]

How to make a tiny planet video with a single camera

Udi Tirosh

Over the years we shared quite a few little planet videos. Most involved building an elaborate gopro rig which can hold six cameras. Kinda like this one. But, camera makers realized the potential in photographing at 360 degrees, they’ve started making dedicated 360 cameras. This means that instead of 3D printing (or worse, buying) a 360 […]
