Canon PowerShot N takes a different angle – as smartphone side-kick
07
Jan
Canon has announced the PowerShot N, a compact camera designed specifically as a smartphone companion for the Instagram generation. The N is built around a tilting touch-screen, and its round-lens zoom controller and shutter release are designed to make it behave identically whether held right-way-up or upside-down. It offers a ‘Creative Shot’ mode that generates multiple versions of your image, so you get the shot you composed plus five alternatives with different crops and processing effects. Canon promises one-touch Wi-Fi connectivity to make it easier to upload images and video to your smartphone and the internet. To extend its capability beyond that of a smartphone, the N has a 28-224mm equivalent lens and a 12MP CMOS sensor that works with a Digic 5 processor.

Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 Wide Angle | Lens Review
05
Jan
A test of the Sigma 10-20 mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM mounted on a Canon 550D (T2i). These clips are unedited and straight out of the camera using stock settings and the standard color profile. All clips at 10mm unless otherwise noted. I just received this camera and lens a few days ago, so I haven’t had much of a chance to thoroughly test them. However, I can easily say that this lens has been one of the most fun that I have ever used. The distortion at 10mm is very noticeable, but that’s part of the fun. Edges are also a bit soft at 10mm. I showed the lens at 10mm and 20mm so you can see how versatile it is. Let me know if there are any specific tests that you’d like to see done with this lens or any other lens. Please let me know how I can improve and subscribe as well! Song: soundcloud.com The T2i produces the same video as the T3i. (and similar video and FOV with this lens on the 7D, Ti1, 50D, 60D, and various Nikons and other cameras with 1.5x & 1.6x crop factors. This lens will vignette on a 5D)

Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 Ultra-Wide Angle Lens Unboxing | Nikon Mount
22
Dec
Hello, Today I am going to be unboxing the Tokina 16-28mm Ultra-Wide Angle lens that come in either a Nikon or Canon mount. This lens offers a 107º Degree field of view that goes all the way to 76º Degree’s at 28mm, mind you this is on a Full-Frame camera. A cropped sensor APS-C or APS-H camera will offer a different degree of view. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8 this lens allows you to shoot in very low light conditions keeping your shutter speed high or ISO low. This results in clearer, sharper images from any camera. Consisted of 15 Elements in 13 groups, edge-to-edge sharpness is very well controlled as well as vignetting wide open and excellent CA handling. Optically what you are getting is a Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 for half the price. What a deal! This lens is every bit as sharp as the Nikkor counter-part and even SHARPER in some instances. Feel free to look up these claims on DxOMark. Unlike the Nikkor 16-35mm f/4 with it’s VR (Vibration Reduction) this lens allows a full stop or more or light into the lens because it is an f/2.8. This can come into handy when that extra little bit of light is needed, especially when shooting video which only allows a 1/25 Shutter Speed or higher. The Tokina is built like a tank, weighing in at 2.09lbs or 950g, this lens is no light-weight. It’s meant to be a serious wide-angle lens and you can be assured it is exactly that. One draw-back of this lens is the exposed front-element and also most-importantly the inability to except …

Erin Manning’s Top 5 Posing and Directing Photo Tips Some people are really uncomfortable in front of the camera—they aren’t sure what they’re supposed to do, and they’re afraid they’ll look bad. This can result in stiff, unnatural looking photographs. It’s your job as the photographer to help your subjects feel comfortable and relax. You can do this by talking, interacting, giving them direction and encouragement. When you are photographing people, you are in a relationship, whether it lasts for a few minutes, a few hours, or a lifetime. Following are five tips that can help you direct your subject and capture natural-looking portraits. Tip 1 Have your subjects make a three-quarter turn to camera and shift their weight to the back leg. This position gives the body shape, dimension and makes them look slimmer. Tip 2 Create a sense of movement in your photograph. Direct your subjects to shift their weight back and forth from one foot to the other. Tip 3 Most people are uncomfortable in front of the camera. Help them out by giving them direction. Tell them they look great, give them feedback and interact. The positive energy will show in your photographs. Tip 4 A real expression is always better than a fake one. To alleviate a frozen, unnatural smile, try my Pufferfish technique for relaxing your subjects face. Do it together! Puff out your cheeks, hold, then blow it out. This exercise relaxes your face, and the goofy look is enough to make anyone laugh. Tip 5 Portraits are …

03
Aug
More Info: www.silberstudios.tv We tossed out a challenge for ideas for a video tip and as it turned out the one we picked was from a local pro photographer who offered to come by and shoot it with us so we took him up on it! Eric Gould joined us at Silber Studios to demonstrate various camera angles and how to choose the best one for your shot. Eric shows you how to take shots from many different angels and heights and how these change the way your subject will look. For example, he shows a tip for helping an overweight person look thinner. You can easily follow along with Eric to see how these will work for you. After watching this video go out and shoot and post your best to the AYP forum and we’ll give you feedback!
