End of the Show: May 2012 Annular Eclipse
01
Aug
Photographing the annular solar eclipse recently was a great challenge and a fun adventure. If you’ve yet to photograph a solar eclipse I highly recommend it. Not only is the sight of the eclipse amazing, there is invariably a great energy in the air from other photographers and viewers. This photo was taken toward the end of the eclipse after most people left. A word to the wise and a pro tip: never leave until the last bit of light has faded. Only at the tail end of the eclipse did the sun dip down into the clouds. The result was a much more dramatic image.

Transit of Venus – June 5, 2012

Yesterday afternoon it was impossible to resist photographing the very rare transit of Venus across the sun. Seeing that I didn’t want to wait another 105 years to photograph it I made the most of the opportunity. If you missed seeing it I highly recommend scrolling down to see the NASA video of the event as seen through an extreme ultraviolet wave length.

Pro shooter to cover London 2012 using Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5

Aug
Panasonic has announced that Getty Images sports photographer Dean Mouhtaropoulos will be covering the London 2012 Olympic Games exclusively using its recently-announced Lumix DMC-G5. His images will be displayed both at the Getty Gallery next to London’s Olympic Park, and on Panasonic UK’s homepage. With sports photography traditionally the preserve of large SLR cameras, the company is hoping to showcase the capabilities of its mirrorless model in this notoriously-demanding field. We suspect the press release has more to do with making the most of its Olympic sponsorship than swaying other pros, but it should be interesting to see the results.

Spanish photographer Samuel Aranda has won the World Press Photo 2011 award. The prize comes for his image of a woman holding a relative wounded during protests against Yemen’s President Saleh. The World Press Photo Contest 2012 also awarded prizes in 18 other categories ranging from Arts and Entertainment to Portraits. Some of these images may be familiar from news coverage throughout the year but they make a compelling and inspiring reminder of the breadth of photography, even within the confines of press usage.
