John Aldred

What do you get when you cross Hasselblad’s A5D aerial camera with a DJI Matrice 600? The photo above is what you get, and it’s an absolute monster of a flying camera. DJI bought a “strategic minority stake” in Hasselblad last year, which seems to now be bearing fruit with their first joint product, and […]

One such early recipient is filmmaker Deejay Scharton, founder of DSLR Film Noob, who has put together a quick first impressions video, side-by-side with the […]

John Aldred

Photographer rights are always a bit of a hot topic, and often brings out extreme points of view from all sides. There’s the law, there’s common sense & decency, and then there’s just outright stupidity.

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. The two stories mentioned here ended with police having to pay quite a bit of money for doing so. And in the end the message of photographers rights will go through (or not). But what do you actually have […]
