We’ve never accused Sigma of lacking innovation, and while the Japanese manufacturer is best known for making lenses, Sigma also markets a line of cameras. The latest – the DP2 Quattro – features an all-new ~19.6 million pixel APC-C Foveon sensor and a completely new body design. Is this (in Sigma’s words) a ‘reinvention of camera’? We won’t know until we’ve tried one out, but in the meantime click through for an initial hands-on look.

This July Peter Cox, Kevin Raber along with Morten Jørgensen will lead two small ship tours to the Arctic region around Svalbard, Norway. This is a very unique workshop as it is a small ship trip with 11 participants on each trip. This area is known as Land Of The Polar Bear. We will be photographing landscapes, wildlife and polar bears. Ten years ago Iceland was hardly a blip on the radar for photographers. That was until Luminous-landscape did some workshops there. We feel that Svalbard is the new Iceland. This is your chance to be one of the first to explore this region and come back with some amazing images. The small ship we will use is ideally suited to photograph polar bears in this region since it has a main deck close to the waterline. To get a better idea of what you can expect from a trip like this, read Peter Cox’s article Photographing In The Arctic – Svalbard 2013. This is a trip log from a trip we did this past August. And when you are ready to sign up for this year’s trip you can find out more information HERE.
Are you planning on attending this year’s WPPI Trade Show and Convention in Las Vegas March 3-5? If so drop us an email. Kevin and Chris will be there reporting on the show and it would be great to meet soemwhere and say hi.
