Fracture: pictures printed on glass

How does having your photos printed on glass sound to you? A minimalist photo-and-frame-rolled-into-one deal, if you like. It’s what the guys over at Fracture can do to your pictures. No, there’s no paper involved; the image goes on the glass. No, I’ve not a clue how they do it. But I really wanted to know what they’re like, so I checked them out. Fracture was dreamed up by [...]

Flash! Flash Gordon? Flashdance? No, flashgun photography

What do you mean by flashguns, Gareth? Are you talking about ostentatious weaponry? To be fair, I’m sure you’ve heard of flashguns before, but I needed an excuse to start with a bad joke. This week’s Photography Concept on Friday is about flashguns, and why you should consider ta [...]

Money for nothing, and your pics for free

Generally, I’m not a huge fan of sites that give away photos for free: They’re in direct competition with several of my streams of revenue, after all. But some times, as I get stuck in the ever-lasting cycle of knocking heads together in order to protect my copyright, I realise that the [...]

Pentax apologises for some dodgy sensors

It seems as if something went a bit awry in the manufacturing process of some of the sensors that went into Pentax’s K-5. Some of the sensors are stained and it can make it look as if there are water droplets on some of their images. Clean the sensor and they’re still there. If you [...]

iPhone: now for movies

We’ve seen the fashion shoot on the iPhone and the short film shot on a Nokia N8 mobile phone. It wasn’t going to be long until there was a film made on an iPhone, was it? It’s being released today. It’s called Paranmanjang, which translates literally as Ups and Downs but see [...]

Nikon D3100 firmware upgrade

For you lucky people with a lovely Nikon D3100, a firmware upgrade has just been announced. Hopefully it will iron out a few of the kinks that have been reported, especially when shooting in live view mode, and you can get on with taking lots of pretty pictures. For a start, it should get rid of [...]

ClusterShot closes its doors

The guys over at ClusterShot – the website that made it easy for people to sell their images, be they of their hamster of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, to anyone that wanted them – have decided to call it a day. In their own words, ClusterShot was an experiment for their company and its bus [...]

Photoshop Express 1.5 hits the App Store

iPhoneographers, let it be known that Adobe has just let loose Photoshop Express 1.5 upon the App Store. If you’re using iOS 4.2, things should be a little bit more efficient and a little bit better for you when you’re taking photos and editing them with your Apple-branded portable commu [...]

Panasonic cameras - now with 3D

Panasonic unveiled four new cameras in its Lumix range today, of which three are 3D enabled. But the new TZ20, FX77, and FT3 have an awful lot more going for them than just their 3D capabilities, from lenses by Leica, to HD movie mode, and the ability to upload directly your images to FaceBook or yo [...]
