Continuing to try out the effect I detailed in yesterday’s post, I saw the trees in bloom today and tried it out again. This is a 64 image stitch with my GH2 and Rokinon 85mm f/1.4. The resulting image was 465 megapixels. In the full image, you can see each individual blossom in full detail….
One of the great advantages of using a full frame DSLR or even larger formats such such as 645 or even 4×5 view cameras is that there is a shallow depth of field and extreme background blur component that can’t really be matched on smaller formats such as APS-C or Micro 4/3. For portraits or…
Ahh…that time of year…the weather’s getting warmer, the flowers are soon to start to bloom…and I have almost no time to go out and shoot. Such is life. I did get to shoot quite a lot of photos last week, but unfortunately, I am not at liberty to post them. Here’s hoping with the wonderful…
As I predicted yesterday, Adobe officially released Lightroom 4.

As a die hard Lightroom user, I’m excited for the upgrade. I’ve been using the beta since its release, and it’s quite…

As some of you may have read in my review of the Panasonic GX1, it has a small pop-up flash that can be held back to provide bounce flash for more flattering light. When I wrote the review, I hadn’t yet really explored all the abilities of this little feature, as I tend to use…
Today at Mobile World Congress, Nokia launched their new 808 PureView. It’s a smartphone. A smartphone with a 41 Megapixel camera. I know what you’re thinking. I thought the same thing: Those have got to be the worst 41 megapixels in existence. That’s outright absurd. And then I looked at the images. This thing is…
