Shooting a 300MP photo of a Hotrod – full frame digital vs large format film

Markus Hofstätter

Recently, I was tasked with shooting a hotrod. It was exciting from the beginning, because these kinds of cars are pretty rare here. The owner also wanted his dog sitting on the fender. When you hear that (from a photographer’s point of view), it does not sound that difficult to do. But the picture also has to be huge […]

First look at Case Air App and hands on with Case Air

Udi Tirosh

Looking at the Tether Tools Case Air was an interesting experience. It promises the same Camranger experience at half the cost, and a significantly lighter package.  (we covered its kickoff here) I have used the Camranger before on tradeshows and it was very smooth.

I’ve spent two years photographing giant things and I’m not stopping now

Alexandra Cameron

I started this project because, well, it seemed like it would be hella fun, and it truly has been, every agonizing moment of it.

Sarah Kim

For the past six months, I’ve been stuck in endless review holes to find the perfect camera for traveling AND blogging.
