If you think sports photographers are an underappreciated lot, check out this video that shows just how much athletes really care about sideline shutterbugs.

We recently started a new feature on Shutterbug.com where we showcase some of our favorite footage as our video of the week. This video, titled “Big Baja Spider Crawling Through Our Camp,” was shot by Drew Coalson.

On face value, this would seem to be a silly challenge and in many ways, it is. But silly is good and Jim Goldstein of All Things Photo offers this fun and interesting video comparison between the then cutting edge Canon D2000 from 1998 and today’s Canon 5DS R, a modern 50-megapixel full frame monster.

Our previous video (see Camera Shutter Sounds Are Not All The Same And This Video Proves It) revealed that every camera make and model is capable of producing its own variety of unique sounds. This knowledge inspired photographer Benjamin Von Wong and Andrew Kesler—along with a few creative assistants—to experiment with and transform 14 Nikon cameras (provided by Nikon Professional Services Canada) into musical instruments and use them to create an amazing symphony of shutter and camera sounds.

An unchanging fixture in our daily lives, we rarely give the sun a second thought. The gorgeous 30-minute 4K video below, which was created by NASA, provides viewers with a new and highly unique view of the star our planet gracefully orbits.

Some photographers may think that every camera is only capable of making the exact same sound when the shutter is pressed (to capture a single shot or a rapid burst of images): that familiar soft metallic click. While that may seem to be true, in reality nearly every make and model of camera has a shutter sound that is quite unique.

Epson’s Eddie Murphy walked us through the important features of the new 13-inch Epson SureColor P400 printer at PhotoPlus Expo this week in this short take video.
