• A New Faster SanDisk SSD For Your Travel Adventures
    by Simon Burn on 14th June 2025 at 00:08

    The chemical stains on Samuel McKinney's hands told the story of his profession before he ever opened his mouth. Fine brown flecks of silver nitrate freckled his fingertips; years of handling pyrogallic developer had yellowed his nails. His clothes reeked faintly of sulfur and ether no matter how many times his wife scrubbed them. [ Read More ]

  • Calibrite Display Pro HL and Profiler Review
    by Jason Polak on 10th June 2025 at 21:51

    One of the most fun steps in photography is post-processing. But if your computer monitor isn’t displaying accurate colors, then all of your edits may be wrong – and one of the least fun steps in photography is re-doing a bunch of work you already did!

    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 9th June 2025 at 05:14

    The marine iguanas of the Galápagos are truly remarkable creatures. Until my recent visit to the islands, I was convinced they inhabited only two worlds – the land, where they bask in the sun, and the ocean, where they dive for food. But earlier this week, I witnessed something that completely changed my perspective: iguanas can fly! Well, at least with a little help from a Great Egret. I’m just not sure if this particular individual will manage to pass its newfound aviation skills down to future generations. Time will tell. For now, though, let’s look back at what the past week brought to the world of photography.

  • The Red-Winged Blackbird
    by Jason Polak on 4th June 2025 at 20:52

    Some say flowers herald the coming of spring, but I feel it is the song of the Red-winged Blackbird that signifies the change of seasons. I still remember their beautiful call one very cold morning near the end of winter, before the growth of any plant or the disappearance of ice.

    by Rob Wood (Admin) on 4th June 2025 at 03:42

    There's a bit of growing unrest among photographers on whether LiDAR systems that are being fitted in new cars are actually capable of destroying camera sensors.

    by Jason Row on 3rd June 2025 at 12:00

    There is something I have observed, particularly with newcomers to photography. That is, they will often try to capture everything in a scene rather than isolate a subject.

    by david.schloss@bgfg.us on 13th June 2025 at 14:23

    Fujifilm's new GFX100RF is a camera that evokes a golden age of photography, but it’s both powerful and confusing all at once As a medium format camera with a compact, Leica-like body, the GFX100RF blends analog-style controls with cutting-edge tech at least on paper. But Fuji also makes head-scratching decisions that may leave photographers torn. It's a particularly strange camera to have used. My father was a commercial photographer, and I grew up with analog cameras like the Nikon F, Leica M-series, and Hasselblad. Analog controls are in my photography DNA, and I love the look and...
