I've been banging on the doors, windows, and faces of camera manufacturers for years about this one having long found value in the idea, "What good is a picture if you can't share it?" It's a simple concept that lots of us helped ignite in our culture via mobile devices. Instantly being able to share is assumed now. But... that our friends in the "real" camera world have been a little slow in adopting this concept is a massive understatement. So what...

It seems our exploratory swim in the waters of full-frame DSLRs is far from complete. With the ink from his recent reviews of the D600 and the mirrorless Panasonic GH3 still drying, I asked my homie Ben Pitt to put the Canon EOS 6D between his microscope plates and share his findings here. As you'd expect with a lower-priced semi-pro camera, the EOS 6D is a mixed-bag. It's light and boasts integrated GPS + Wi-Fi, but a couple notable omissions are enough to yank this camera from the "obvious choice" list. Scrutinizing consumers have come to expect a catch with...

Given the response and discussion around last week's post on the D600, I invited pal Ben Pitt back to share another hands on review of a camera that has been competing for eyeballs: the GH3. Since the introduction of the Lumix DMC-GH1 back in 2009, the GH-series' has been gobbling up mindshare for photographers looking for some great technology in a tightly sized and affordable package. I'm a big ol' fan of the mirrorless category of cameras of late...seems that all the manufacturers are making massive leaps to give us astounding quality in small packages (I'm currently playing with the...

I was first introduced to Niki Feijen's work via Amy Rollo who helps me with the Best Photo Locations pieces on my blog. I saw his stuff and, naturally, poked around to learn more about him. Ironically, one of my favorite parts of Niki's backstory is that he's not a professional photographer. He has a day job, and photographs his passion - urban exploring. And then something occurred to me: while it may be unconventional thinking, I believe deeply that pro photographers have a lot to learn from those who are not professional. Remember when your next photo wasn't an...

I've always been a fan of photographic works by Andreas Gursky and others that are huge in scale and still maintain amazing detail. While Gursky is a living legend and none of us are approaching his sphere any time soon, there are a variety of more accessible approaches to creating massive images that maintain incredible details available to most of us As such I want to take a second to introduce Ben Pitt. Ben is a tech / photo geek who has been reviewing digital things and software for more than 15 years - and as this post demonstrates -...
