Which Camera is the Noisiest? This visual database compares sensor noise

Udi Tirosh

The quality of long exposures is determined mostly by the amount of noise a camera produces. The lower the noise levels, the better the exposure. This is especially true if you are shooting lots of nightscapes or night skies, where most of the photo is black. And Brendan Davey shoots a lot of night photos, in fact he shoots […]

We’ve seen some crazy folks freaking out over photographers asking photographers to stop shooting but this one goes over the top. This is the first time I am seeing a photographer being threatened to be ran over for shooting cars. According to Alex Stone, an automotive photographer from LA, he was shooting on a public […]

Here is the one thing you should say if police detains you for photographing

Udi Tirosh

We’ve seen it happening again and again, police detaining civilians photographers for recording or photographing them.

But what do you actually have […]

Your Next Smart Selection Could Be Powered By A Neural Network

Udi Tirosh

Admit it! object masking sucks. It’s not that it is impossible, even the hardest selections and masks can be created with some work (and some methods require less work that others). But, in general, masking is a hard and tedious work. Researchers in the The Chinese University of Hong Kong working with Adobe Research are now […]

Canon: Using some Sandisk CFast cards can destroy photos on a 1D X Mark II

Udi Tirosh

CFast is the industry’s answer to Sony’s XQD card (in a neverending standard war), but looks like this card is not without its issues. Canon just released an advisory asking photographers to avoid using some of Sandisk’s CFast cards on 1DXmkII‘s because it may corrupt images stored on the card (which is kinda funny considering Amazon is offering CFast cards […]
