23, June 2014 – Landscape Aerial Photography Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

24 Jun

 

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been making a lot of headlines lately within the photography community.  These remotely controlled aircraft have enabled photographers a new way to gain new perspectives on a scene.  They have also caused a lot of controversy in regards to safety and privacy.  Stephen Wheatcraft’s article Landscape Aerial Photography Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles introduces you to this new method of making images. 

Last week Kevin Raber and Chris Sanderson spent the week on the road working on a new video tutorial with William Neill in Yosemite and Mono Lake areas.  More on this new video in the near future.

17 June, 2014 – Sony A7s Tests With Lower DR than A7r

18 Jun

Who do you trust? I trust my eyes. And so when I tested the Sony A7s the other day and found that I couldn’t see any dynamic range advantage over the A7r, that’s what I wrote. But, I was chastised by many because Sony claimed 15 stops of DR. Why the hell couldn’t Michael see it?

Now, two days later, DxO Labs has published their sensor test results for the A7s and indeed the A7s ranks almost a stop lower than the A7r. One may debate whether or not DxO and Sony use the same measurement criteria, but there’s no way to quibble about the fact that DxO has hundreds of self-consistent lab tests spanning years, regardless of the absolute numbers. I guess the eyes have it.

Canon 8-15mm Fisheye Lens

08 Jun

 

Michael and I (Kevin) have spent the last few days photographing together in Buffalo, NY.  We met up with Mark Maio and a workshop he was holding photographing Silo City.  This is a huge complex of abandoned Grain Silos that at the beginning of the 20th century played a huge part of distributing grain from the Midwest to other areas around the country.  Needless to say it was a great time shooting old, huge, abandoned and decaying buildings.  We got our fill of urban decay landscapes, with a number of good keepers.  You’ll see these on the home page in coming weeks from both Michael and me. 

Michael and I will be working together over the next few days along with Chris on a number of different and exciting projects for LuLa, Rockhopper and the Endowment.  We’re very excited about everything we are working on.

Alain Briot’s monthly article is featured today The Canon EF 8-15, f1.4 USM Fisheye Lens.  Not only is it a review of this lens but also how the lens plays a big part in Alain’s photography.

5 June, 2014 – The Next Big Thing

05 Jun

Every now and then one gets to observe, and if you’re lucky even participate in something that has the potential to be a game changer. This was the case in late May when I went to visit Mylo Development LLC, a Seattle-base software start-up. 

Heading up Mylo is David Vaskevitch, who was the number three man at Microsoft and their Chief Technology Officer. His founding partner is Moshen Agsen, previously a Microsoft Engineering Fellow. 

This ten minute-long video is an interview with David and Mohsen about what it’s like to create a software start-up. It also has some hints as to what Mylo’s product will be.

02 Jun

 

It’s a crazy time in the camera industry.  Here we are in a Photokina year and major announcements are being made every week.  One has to wonder what the camera makers are holding back to show at Photokina.  Well, Leica a few days ago decided to make a special announcement to celebrate their “100 Years of Leica Photography” with the “Leica M Edition 100”.  Sean Reid a regular contributor on Luminous-Landscape gives us a peek at this “Limited Edition 100”.  Some might say when you read about this special kit, that Leica has lost its way, but so far that hasn’t been the case.  Sean’s take on the NEW 24mm 1.4 lens is of special interest.  Will Leica eventually mass produce this lens?  Read on to find out.
