Photoshoot and Beyond
“That guy” has been around since the dawn of photography, but with the ever advancing selfie generation, it just seems to be getting worse and worse. You try to take a group photo, and one person always seems to want to be the centre of attention, or just doesn’t know how to not screw up […]

Continuity is a hard mistress. It’s about small details. But if you miss something it can really ruin a movie. The reason for that is that instead of focusing on the story, the viewer is suddenly busy trying to figure out the things that don’t make sense. Take this (alleged) story from the production of […]

They say that two things are certain in life; Death and taxes. Taxes we can’t do anything about, but I don’t think anybody until now realised just how many of those entirely preventable deaths could be attributed to shooting selfies. You just can’t seem to go very long these days without hearing about another one. Some […]

With great power comes great potential for abuse. Back in 2011, Apple filed a fairly controversial patent, which would allow the cameras in their devices to be turned on and off at will by external forces. In theory, this would allow locations and venues that have “No photography” zones to enforce this rule more passively. Aimed […]

The idea of a selfie drone isn’t all that unique any more. Many drones come with a “follow” mode for just this sort of thing, and it’s the Hover Camera’s sole purpose in life. The new ROAM-e, though, does have something of a unique appearance. Described by The Verge as the “flying phallus” (I think that name […]

I’m a bit disappointed by this one. I’ve been a huge fan of Eye-Fi cards for several years and own and use several cards. Now, they’re taking planned obsolescence to a whole new level by effectively making most of their past products useless in one fell swoop. According to an email I received from Eye-Fi […]

Information about Fuji’s possible entry into the mirrorless medium format world is mostly just speculation, but it seems it’s becoming a matter of “when” rather than “if” Fuji will announce something. Fuji Rumors are reporting that a “trusted source” has told them it will be “definitely more affordable” than Hasselblad’s new X1D. There’s been talk about Fuji releasing a medium format […]

When it comes to creative advertising, beer companies often spring to mind as being some of the most ridiculous culprits. They want to make us laugh, they want to remind us how “fun” it can be to consume alcohol. Not to be outdone, German brewery Bergedorfer Bier, are having a go at the maternity photography genre with their latest […]

Snapchat might be quite a silly and frivolous app to some people, while others live on it. Regardless of your thoughts on its practical application, it employs some pretty serious technology in order to be able to do what it does with its “lenses”, or filters as most people call them. From the same facial recognition principles […]
