Photographer Andy Katz joins us today on the Marc Silber show to share advice on achieving great natural lighting and composition for photographs. He does not confine himself to only one type of photography—although he mainly shoots landscapes, he also enjoys working with people, especially when he’s able to shoot record album cover photographs. Andy enjoys working outdoors to use the light of the sun, rather than staying in a studio with lighting equipment. He refers to the three elements present in any great photograph: content, composition and light. Any photo must have all three of these to successfully draw a viewer into the image. He loves taking photos when the sun is close to the horizon, since it produces a rich, golden light and creates gorgeous shadows. He is adamant about shooting photos only when the light is ideal and will often wait until the sun hits the right angle for that perfect shot. As a seasoned photographer, Andy understands how crucial it is to have reliable equipment with him at all times. When working with natural light, he needs to capture as many photographs as he can in a limited amount of time. With SanDisk large-capacity memory cards, photographers never have to worry about missing that perfect photograph.
We just published a review of Panasonic’s flagship super-zoom camera, the Lumix DMC-FZ200. The FZ200 goes back to its roots, offering a constant-aperture zoom range, like the FZs of old, but in most other respects it’s similar to its well-regarded predecessor the FZ150. Features include a 12MP MOS sensor with a maximum ISO sensitivity of 6400, Raw shooting, and automatic panorama and HDR modes. We collaborated with Jeff Keller of the Digital Camera Resource Page to bring you this review of the FZ200 – click through to find out what we thought.

A test of perceived resolution between the Canon 60d and Panasonic GH2. This is a non scientific test using gear in my own kit. I wish I could of used the same lens across the board, but the funds were not available to rent a common lens + adapters.

External video recorders are about more than improved image quality. Find out more in my review of the least expensive model that includes a monitor, the Atomos Ninja 2.
Sean Reid, at ReidReviews, does some of the most in-depth camera reviews of anyone online or in print. He has just published his look at the remarkable Sigma DP2 Merrill, which I raved about here a couple of months ago. If you’re considering one of these Sean’s review is compulsary reading.

"Every time I go back to a module I had already seen, I learn additional things. I have never seen tutorials that have the excellent mix of what the features are,
how to use them, enough of the under-the-hood information
and concepts so that I can utilize the features creatively and efficiently,
and just enough humor to keep the motivation level high. Wow!"

Just Posted: Our real world samples gallery from the Leica X2. Following the Sigma DP series, Leica was one of the first companies to offer a large sensor in a compact-bodied camera with its X1. The X2 retains its predecessor’s 36mm equivalent F2.8 lens but adds a 16MP APS-C CMOS sensor. We’ve been shooting the X2 in a variety of lighting situations and at a range of apertures to give a taste for what the camera can do. The 49-image gallery includes a selection of Adobe Camera Raw conversions as well as out-of-camera JPEGs.

We’re teaming up with some of our very favorite shops on the web to help you, faithful readers, with your holiday shopping!
These folks have very good taste. So, we decided to take advantage of their expertise and asked them to pick out their faves from the Photojojo shop to share with you.
We’d have chosen ourselves, but that’d be like choosing your favorite from among your very own kids. That is to say… totally illegal. (right?)
Now, scroll-along to see what the crews from Threadless and Poketo like most.

I love instant Polaroid cameras. Taking a photo without adding a filter and seeing it published right in front of your eyes is raw and magical. Who wouldn’t love a watch that has a face that looks like an f-stop? Seriously. Want to have some fun with long exposures and not get arrested for graffiti? This is how you do it. Have a good time and don’t inhale. This twisty and bendy tripod is awesome when you want to take really amazing photos on the go from really gnarly angles. There is so much cool stuff that you should share with your loved ones. A Photojojo gift card makes for friend-makin’ fun. |

I’ve been on the lookout for a simple, but charming, camera strap. The Toyko Dreamer Strap fits the bill nicely with its clean and delightful design. Saving photo opportunities from dead battery hell. What’s not to love? I tend to find myself in a pickle quite often when I see the red bar on my iPhone appear (and drain rapidly) as I continue to ignore its nagging warning. Now I truly can ignore this warning and capture away. My love for photos is only rivaled by animals, so the combination of the two together = perfection! I love its quirky appeal and am appreciative of the extra company while editing into the wee hours of the night. Most genius ideas are simple at heart and this is one of them. One of my biggest pet peeves is that I always have a tendency to tilt my photos by an angle or two. Au revoir, crooked photos! I’m from Hawaii so naturally I have a love for the ocean. I love taking photos with my iPhone and this would be the perfect accessory for my next trip home! |
