A perfectly sharp photo of something nobody wants to look at twice loses to a slightly soft photo of something interesting. That single trade-off runs underneath a whole approach to shooting that treats technical skill as the least of your worries.
Who doesn't love a good theme park ride photo? Faces contorted in delicious mixes of fear, anticipation, and fun make for interesting photos. And while it's easier than ever to buy the photos, sometimes all you get is crushing disappointment in the form of thumbnail-sized photos that look like they were taken with a potato.
Creases across the front of a t-shirt sit exactly where the eye lands. Clothing wrinkles and backdrop fold lines are the kind of problem you can't always control on the day, and fixing them by hand eats hours you'd rather spend somewhere else.
Selling most of your camera collection sounds like a crisis. For this creator, it turned into a way to shoot more freely and pick up a hobby he'd dropped over a decade ago.
Speculation is circulating again that the Ray-Ban owner's steadily growing position in Nikon could be a first step toward buying the camera maker outright.
The latest round of chatter, flagged by Nikon Rumors citing Yahoo Japan, revives a theory that has come and gone several times. The idea is simple: EssilorLuxottica keeps buying Nikon shares, so some people read that as groundwork for an eventual acquisition. That reading runs ahead of anything the companies have actually said or done, as there is no bid, no filing, and no confirmation from either company.
In April 1972, at Polaroid's annual meeting, Edwin H. Land reached into his jacket, pulled out a camera folded flat enough to hide in a suit pocket, and in about ten seconds fired off five color photographs. There was no timer to watch, no negative to peel away, no wet chemistry to wipe off your fingers. That was the SX-70, and more than fifty years later, it still looks like it wandered in from a future that never quite arrived.

I had a fantastic time in New Zealand and recorded most of the trip using the Moondog Lab Anamorphic lens for iPhone.
A really interesting little lens that gives you a cinemascope point of view and makes everything feels more cinematic.
A cool introduction to anamorphic lenses before I start to use real ones in the next videos.
