  • In the Field: Mobile Device Photography – iPad 2?!

    The more I travel the more I see people taking photos with mobile devices (cell phones, tablet computers, etc.) Case in point while in Glacier National Park I spied a tourist photographing Logan Pass from a turnout on the Road to the Sun with an iPad 2. It’s very common to see people taking photos with their mobile phones, but the difference in this case is that the iPad 2 has a very weak camera by modern standards. The iPad 2 rear camera has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, which adds up to 0.92 megapixel. By comparison most mobile phones now have resolutions on the order of 3-5 megapixels. I’m not sure this photographer will be very happy with his images when he realizes this. Bummer too as he was from Europe and I’m sure it will be a while before he’s back in Glacier National Park.

    Are you seeing an increase in this trend on your trips?

  • 25 June, 2010 – Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1 – A Field Report By Nick Devlin

    Back in the day – when ISO 400 was fast – high speed lenses were something to be lusted after. But now, with ISO 1600 delivering excellent quality, and some cameras capable of greater than ISO 100,000, they have lost their luster. Or have they?

    For some the appeal of ultra-fast lenses is not so much their light gathering power, but rather their shallow depth of field. One of the fastest lenses currently available at affordable prices for the Leica M9 is the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1.

    Today Nick Devlin provides us with his field report on this lens, based on a shoot in Olympic National Park this past May.

    Convergence is happening – like it or not. Just about every new DSLR model has HD video, and now Sony has introduced the world’s first  interchangable lens, APS-C sized sensor camcorder, the Sony VG10.

    Along with a small group of web and print journalist I spent part of last week in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park working with the VG10 and its included E mount 18-200mm lens.

    My Sony NEX VG10 HD Camcorder / 14MP Stills Camera Field Report is now online.
