Mamiya, famous for their venerable range of medium format cameras, has announced the release of two new lines of medium format DSLRs. With megapixel counts between 22MP and 56MP, the four new cameras are at the leading edge in the medium format arena.
While hard and fast stats have not been released, and while the press [...]
The i-gotU GT-120 is the smallest, simplest GPS data logger I’ve ever used. About the size of a 9V battery, the unit has only one button and two lights. That’s it. In this review I intend to relate my experience using this device over the course of three months of travel which included a [...]
Released earlier this year, the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM is a mouthful to say but a true pleasure to work with. I begrudgingly write this review because it means I have to send the test lens back to Sigma….
…and I really don’t want to!
I had the task of testing this lens on [...]
Like a lot of photographers, I carry a camera around just about everywhere I go. But it’s not always my preferred DSLR as the bulk and weight often preclude easy travel, especially if I’m just heading to the store.
A Point & Shoot (P&S) camera, however, easily slips into my pocket or resides peacefully [...]
Removing red eyes from photos with Gimp is a straight forward process. It involves just five steps and allows for a fair amount of flexibility for the photographer. Let’s jump right in!
That’s me. Slightly out of focus as usual. This shot was taken with a simple point and shoot in near darkness. And with plenty [...]
“Just delete the photos you don’t want,” one friend suggests when you ask what to do when you’ve finished downloading a memory card to your computer.
“No, no. You want to format it in the camera to be safe,” chimes in another
And still a third friend offers, “What’s best is low level formatting, if you camera [...]
In a recent poll on DPS we asked What Is Your Favorite Memory Card Brand. As readers tallied their votes and left comments I noticed a trend appearing. Some readers would note the size of the cards they used and others would in return ask why they used such large cards.
In this post I’d like [...]
Raise your hand if you know what the device on the left is. At first, I admit, it looks a bit odd. But if you end up shooting a lot of flash work in portrait orientation (holding the camera on its side) a flash rotating bracket can be one of the handiest tools to [...]
This month’s DPS Writers’ Critique is a submission from DPS reader D. Travis North. In a recent interview I conducted, he explained a bit of his photography background.
“I am a professional Landscape Architect in the Philadelphia Area (born and raised here too). Photography has been a hobby of mine since 1994 after two classes in [...]
One of the realities of Gimp is it doesn’t have all the tools Photoshop does. In her post How To Replace A Sky In Photoshop, Helen Brady used a feature called “Blend If” in the blending options panel. This feature is great at helping replace a blown out sky but it doesn’t exist in Gimp. [...]
