This is by far one of my favourite videos I’ve seen in recent years, all relating to travel and just getting out there, getting lost, experiencing life.

Ben Canales Night Photography lead image

I love photography and have always been fascinated by the night. It presents a completely different world, where people change into a different mode compared to the day, when you are traditionally expected to work. The silence, the things you can’t see…it’s a big fascination of mine. Ben Canales captures this world perfectly, check out his photos after this[...]

Well I have never! Leica have never and will never be the cheapest camera around, putting them way out of reach of pretty much anyone in the entire world. Well not really, but you get what I mean. Check out this lens, and a photo that you could take with it, using just the light of a candle[...]

I saw this link posted on the &Union Facebook page and it is awesome. Often the simplest ideas are the best. So basically people take a picture of a picture from the past, in the present. It’s such a great way to evoke memories, and see how things change[...]

How To Take Nude Pictures Of Woman Without Being Weird lead image

It’s official, you can be weird without anyone thinking you’re weird or perverted at all. Call yourself a fashion photographer, take photos of nude woman, have someone pay you, and then turn it into a coffee table book. Basically, be paid to collect photos of nakedness. Find out what it takes after the click with a video of how these nude coffee table books are made. Pretty much NSFW.[...]

I spotted this on Chase Jarvis’ website, and it is awesome! The Polaroid GL10 mobile instant printer, so you can print photos off your phone or camera. And the best thing is, it doesn’t use ink, its uses ‘Zink’ zero ink paper, so those stupid cartridges don’t end up in landfill. And best of all, it prints Polaroid style. Polaroid is back baby!

If you’re looking at getting a DSLR, and have a few bucks to spend, the Nikon D7000 is pretty much what you’re going to be looking at. Taking up the spot previously held by the D90, it’s a camera that can easily produce those professional looking shots, without the insane price tag of professional level cameras. [...]

0 Comments Turn Your 35mm Film Into Digital Photos

Article written by the brilliant Sean Lloyd on the 25 Nov 2010 , in the Photography category

I still have loads of old rolls of film lying about, but it’s so hard to share with people because everyone these days wants a digital copy. I still think that getting photos printed is awesome, it’s useless to have thousands of photos that just sit on your computer. But in the interests of sharing, and also safely storing your photos, you can now make all your 35mm film photos switch to digital. Rad!

35mm film to digital

It takes 4 seconds to convert each photo and the machine has a cool little digital screen. You don’t even need a computer to work it, it saves it right onto an SD card. Sickie woo!
