Dilettante Photography: Retrospective

Best camera for youtube videos 2018 You want a camera that is vlogging with screen if you're likely to to publish your video. So far as the camera is concerned, it's important to get something which produces decent excellent video. Click here for more. If you are looking for the best full-format DSLR, considering an economical option, think of the NIkon D750. I think it’s by far the second best camera you could buy. Its 24-megapixel full-format sensor is an oasis among the costly D4S and D810. This great model has one of the best qualities talking about image and auto focus.

Good time of the day, everyone! Let's start a new challenge! it would not be a competition as we did before, instead, we will simply try applying rules to our own photography - to make it more interesting. The challenge's theme this time is "panorama". Please mark your submitted images using this tag: #panorama. Good luck! Have a good weekend and a creative week! Regards, MM #panorama

Would you, guys, like a challenge? We have not done any for a long time. I was thinking of "panorama" theme but any other one could be acceptable. let me know - ok? Best Regards, MM

One more thing... it has been a while since our last challenge.... The contest formats we used in past were not ideal: people lost interest. If you are up for a new game, we can create something fresh and new. I'm looking for new ideas. Please advise.

Hello Everyone. I just spent an HOUR going through some pending requests to join our community.... I rejected most of them with just a few exceptions. The problem is: there is still a long list of the requests queued up.... May I ask moderators to spent 10-15 minutes if possible to sort out potential members.... I guess our goal is to filter out the spammers.... I followed example of Pauli PPariah , quickly checking profiles of the candidates and equally quickly rejecting all those, who did not show a slightest interest in photography. Most of the profiles have not content anyways. Of course, there is a risk of rejecting somebody with a genuine interest in photography.... I'm not sure what is the best way to deal with this situation. Please advise. Regards, Mike M

It is back! http://istillshootfilm.org/post/155475091680/kodak-alaris-reintroduces-iconic-ektachrome-still

A category "Arts and Crafts" has been removed due to poor usage. Instead a new category "Series" has been added. It is intended for multiple shots, having a theme, time line or place in common.

The 'color' of darkness at almost absolute zero, makes photons into a computing device. ... so, what darkness is? In a new study, a microwave resonator was cooled down and kept near absolute zero, where any thermal motion freezes. This state corresponds to perfect darkness where no photon is present. However,* in this state (called quantum vacuum) there exist fluctuations* that bring photons in and out of existence for a very short time. The researchers have now managed to convert these fluctuations into real photons of microwave radiation with different frequencies, showing that, in a sense, darkness is more than just absence of light. They also found out that these photons are correlated with each other, as if a magic connection exists between them. The photons at different frequencies will play a similar role to the registers in classical computers, and logical gate operations can be performed between them The results provide a new approach for quantum computing. http://phy...

The new challenge theme is "Any Key Lighting". Unlimited Photos. Any style. The contest will run from Aug 4 until September 4. Good Luck everybody! "High-key lighting is a style of lighting for film, television, or photography that aims to reduce the lighting ratio present in the scene." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-key_lighting

The results of the "False Colors" challenge are: 1st 송민호  - "How are you feeling this fine day?" 2nd Oshi Shikigami - "It's got an 11!" 3rd Igor Rybnikov - "Budapest, Hungary" As usual, lots and lots of impressive works have been uploaded. Thank you everybody for participating! It was fun! The wining photos will be shortly placed to our "VSOP" category. Congratulations! A new contest will start later this week. Cheers! MM

Possible topic for the next challenge

Next theme?

New Contest! The recent community vote chose "Wide Angle" as the next contest's theme. The contest starts today, May 23rd and will run until June 23rd. Unlimited number of posts. Everybody is invited. Only three pictures (well, may be four or five but no more!) will be chosen to take their places in our VSOP hall of fame. Please use the widest angle available to you. There are no hard requirements but the pictures will be judged by being close to the chosen theme. Widen your imagination! Also please take time "liking" the contest works that appeal to you. Good luck! #wideangle

Our current contest is about to be concluded by May 19. Which theme would you like to be chosen for the next one?

FYI: Sony sensor production update, after earthquake. (Sony make sensors for Fuji and many others as well.) Status of Sony Group Manufacturing Operations Affected by 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes (Third Update) Due to the earthquake of April 14, 2016 and subsequent earthquakes in the Kumamoto region, operations at Sony Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation’s Kumamoto Technology Center (located in Kikuchi Gun, Kumamoto Prefecture), which is the primary manufacturing site of image sensors for digital cameras and security cameras as well as micro-display devices, were halted and currently remain suspended. With aftershocks continuing and employee safety the foremost priority, inspections of the facility and the development of a recovery plan remain ongoing. The current status of operations for the Kumamoto Technology Center is as follows: Damage to the building itself has been confirmed to be primarily to the upper layer of the building, and reinforcement work will be carried out in this ar...
