Joe Farace  |  Oct 06, 2015

Studio lighting hardware is going through the biggest change—a paradigm shift, really—since the flashbulb was invented in 1929.

In a Flash: How Photographer Adam Savitch Gets Maximum Impact From Minimal Lighting
Jack Neubart  |  Oct 06, 2015

Dividing his time between his New York City and Paris studios, photographer Adam Savitch specializes in still life and motion studies for advertising and editorial clients, often with an avant-garde mindset. When it comes to lighting, Savitch believes in the old adage “less is more.” He doesn’t throw a light at every nook and cranny of his tabletop sets. Instead he mostly employs only one light and finesses its effect on the subject.

Up, Up and Away!: Our Favorite Mini Copters, UAVs, And Drones for Aerial Photography
Joe Farace  |  Oct 02, 2015

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officially refers to quadcopters as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) but they obviously have more in common with the kind of hobbyist’s radio-controlled aircraft that have been around since I was a member of the Poly Aeroneers in high school. Yet tech blogs and social media endlessly refer to quadcopters as “drones” when the only thing a General Atomics MQ-1 Predator and a DJI Phantom 1 have in common is that they’re capable of flight. But they’re not without some controversy.

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR Lens Review
Stan Trzoniec  |  Oct 01, 2015

It took a while, but I finally saw some light at the end of the tunnel. For years, I’ve wanted to upgrade from my AF-S DX Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR that I’ve been sharing with my wife. I use the lightweight and portable Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G on my trusty Nikon D2X DSLR and she uses it with her Nikon D90 during longer photo trips when bringing minimal gear is essential. For shorter forays, the super sharp Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 is my go-to lens, especially when shooting landscapes.
