Happy (still) Spring, reader
|
I know we are only into the early stages of spring but my studio partner, Pat Berrett, have already been out for a "day-shoot." That's when we decide to turn off the computer, pick up our camera bags and take off for the day.
|
|
We recently ventured out in to the San Ysidro Trails Area (above), which is only 30-miles from Albuquerque. It was a great day and I only took my Sony a6000. I haven't used it that much since I acquired it last year, and wanted to give it a good test. The diversity of the the land is amazing and truly breath-taking, and the Sony passed with flying colors. That, plus it is so much lighter than my full-frame Sony a850 DSLR!

Canon patents pop-up LED for on-camera continuous lighting
|
When looking for the best DSLR or best mirrorless camera, the question of whether or not it has a pop-up flash isn't generally a deciding factor. If you're a videographer, however, having a pop-up LED could play a huge part in your decision – and that's something you may soon have to consider, if Canon's latest patent is anything to go by.

500px Owner Slammed for Claiming Copyright to Black Hole Image
Visual China Group, the “Getty Images of China” and owner of 500px, has sparked an outcry after it attempted to claim copyright to the first-ever black hole picture that became a worldwide sensation this week.
|
After the groundbreaking black hole image was published by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration (EHT) on April 10th, it was soon made available through VCG’s leading stock photo service in China with the VCG watermark splashed across it. But the problem was, EHT had released the image for free distribution under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

Take the High Road for Breathtaking Images!
|
Black and white photography can give scenes a striking, timeless quality when done well. However, not every shot or technique will work well in black and white. To get the best black and white photos, consider the following tips.
|
Quick Tips for Beautiful Black & White Photos
1. Aim for clarity: Color photos can have a wide palette of shading, but the best black and white images often have a clear ‘black’ and ‘white’ to guide the viewer. While shades of gray can be interesting, too, they’re harder to pull off. With too much gray, your image may end up looking vague or bland.

Sony Alpha A6400 Full Review
The Sony Alpha A6400 offers excellent image quality, with a 24mp APS-C CMOS sensor that delivers great noise performance. The camera is fast in use, and focus is rapid. 4K UHD video recording is unlimited, and it's also going to be a good choice for travel, due to the compact size of the system.
|
However, the menu system and controls could be improved, and this can make it less enjoyable to use, when compared to other camera systems.
