My biggest problem with “the cloud” has always been that many cloud services seem to pop up overnight from nowhere. This means that they can also disappear just as quickly. This was the case with Picturelife, an image hosting service which was bought out by Streamnation last year. After 18 months of new ownership, Picturelife has […]

Smartphone photographers are driving DSLR sales

It’s no surprise that smartphone cameras haven’t become the “DSLR killers” that some suggested they might. Instead, the opposite seems to have happened. Smartphones are fuelling the sales of DSLRs, at least according to the Hindustan Times. There’s little doubt that smartphones have usurped compact cameras as the “gateway drug” to photography.

If you wanna shoot Usain Bolt for an ad, you have to do it in Jamaica
