The images would capture teachers in a range of real-world moments: working with students, collaborating with other faculty members, and working alone (grading papers, researching, decorating classrooms, etc.) The still images would serve as the sole visual content for a broadcast campaign, utilizing a Ken Burns-style approach with voiceover, supers, and anthemic music.
The Halide Mark III app's most compelling feature is a new film simulation engine and a collection of five new Looks that can be applied to photos as they're taken. Co-developed with Cullen Kelly, a "renowned Hollywood colorist," the different looks are tailored for landscape photography, portraits, and cityscapes, plus a black-and-white option with extra film grain.
The competition was halted 10 minutes in and Brazilian surfers Yago Dora and Italo Ferreira were extracted from the water on jet skis. It's the first time we have activated code red, Renato Hickel, vice president of tours and competition, said on the WSL broadcast. This time it was our beloved water photographer and thank God he's in good spirits. He's well considering what happened. Hickel said the photographer had suffered minor puncture wounds from a bite and was heading to hospital.
Officials activated a rare “code red” safety protocol and pulled surfers from the water during the men’s semi-final at the World Surf League's New Zealand Pro event in Raglan. “At this stage we are not certain if it was a shark or a sea lion,” Renato Hickel, WSL tours and competition vice president, said. Later, organizers clarified the more likely suspect behind the attack on photographer Ed Sloane. Hickel said the doctor on the scene “was inclined to think it was a sea lion instead of a shark.” “Nevertheless, very scary,” he added.
A bicyclist whose dark, flowing burka enfolds her body from head to ankles sits with hands perched on the handlebar, seemingly undaunted by the meshed veil that covers her eyes and restricts her sight. Her determination is suggested by the photo's title, "It will not stand in my way." A similarly clad figure swirls so swiftly that the billowing fabric appears to lift her into the air like a bird in flight; scribbled in Farsi across the brick wall in front of her is the phrase, "I dreamed that my homeland was prosperous."
In the dark, predawn hours of December 3, 1984, a dense cloud of poisonous gas leaked from a pesticide plant and, borne on a soft, northern wind, enveloped Bhopal, a city in central India. It was wedding season, and the first night of the Ijtema, an annual gathering that had drawn thousands of Muslim pilgrims to the city. Celebrations were in full swing as the cloud descended on the metropolis in a thick, deadly fog that, owing to the presence of hydrogen cyanide, smelled of bitter almonds.
“It was business as usual in the sense that every season, the entire crew and I always search for new ways to excel, but since it was 50, there was a celebratory feeling amongst the crew that this season should feel special and not only call back the 49 seasons prior but pave the way ahead for the future of Survivor to come,” Duncan told IndieWire.
What may be most striking about Jasmine Ross' "Beauty Plus," running through May 31 in the salon of the Museum of the African Diaspora, is missing from the photo installation. The Oakland-based Ross, a member of the MoAD's Emerging Artist program, captured the eponymous beauty supply store's final days in its New Haven, Connecticut location of 30 years. The images display many tools and supplies that have shaped Black beauty standards for years, from hair relaxer to wig glue. Missing are the many Black women who visited over the years.
Fujifilm's X Half digital camera wasn't designed to replace your main camera, though you'd be forgiven for assuming it was with its ludicrous $850 price. However, the company recently reduced the MSRP to $649.99, and is now knocking an additional $100 off through June 28th. That means you can grab the X Half in its base configuration for around $549 at Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy. Adorama is also discounting it to the same price and throwing in a free accessory pack, which includes a 64GB SanDisk SD card and a camera case.
Kanlioglu says he admires the fishers and their craft, adding, It's understandable that people who have been born into this culture and immersed in water since childhood have such developed abilities, but it's miraculous for foreigners like me to witness it.
I thought leaving my cameras behind would make the job harder. It ended up being a liberation. Stripping away the technical barriers let me be fully present with my friends and the raw beauty of this place
Although she engaged with and celebrated Latinx communities, Rivera never wanted her work to be confined to identity politics. In fact, much of her output was highly experimental. Double Exposures, her first career survey, reassesses Rivera's practice, situating the artist within the broader discourse of post-war photography while foregrounding both her political activism and technical skill.
Canon on Wednesday expanded its mirrorless camera portfolio in India with the launch of the new EOS R6 V full-frame video camera, alongside the RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ lens. As per Canon, its new offering is aimed at content creators and filmmakers. It is powered by DIGIC X image processor alongside Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus technology. The company claims that the new RF20-50mm lens is Canon's first professional-grade full-frame L-series lens with a built-in power zoom system.
Everything is autobiographical here, as Alexander is "committed to bringing as many lights outside the studio as possible" - recreating studio aesthetics to "complex-ify" his lighting, the simple flash will no longer suffice. Although it's simple, Alexander forewarns "we're no longer within simple times." He's sworn to "entering the world of the hat", (a reference to Stephen Sondheim's song Finishing The Hat, a classic tune all about the reverence of everyday objects) and in the process, Alexander is tailoring each subject to its setting, finding each item or person's most interesting light.
I had a dream about a half woman-half animal, standing alone in the middle of a field, with trees surrounding her. I was working on a series of images, called Madre, about the depiction of womanhood. The media in Bolivia always present women in a traditionally feminine way. It is rare to see a woman who displays more masculine attributes and her not be immediately labelled as a lesbian there is no nuance.
Instead of pushing its telephoto hardware to further extremes, Vivo has mostly left it be. The company has focused its efforts on a significantly improved 35mm main camera, unique among the competition for its narrow, natural focal length. Combined with the best ultrawide camera in any phone and new pro-level video features, the result is a camera system that feels equally balanced between all three rear lenses. It's a less flashy approach, but the total package is more versatile and useful than its rivals and my favorite to use so far.
You currently have two options if you want to apply effects and filters to your photos: use an app that will inevitably harvest your data for training their AI model (we're watching you, Instagram), or actually edit your photos manually, which requires time, software subscriptions, and the patience of a saint. Reddit user sharkbiscuit101 unlocked a third option, and it involves a Raspberry Pi 4, a rotary encoder, a gamepad, and a frankly unreasonable amount of ingenuity. The build produces glitch photography on the pixel level, in real time, through a custom script running entirely offline on hardware you can source yourself. No cloud upload, no terms of service, and crucially, no algorithm deciding what your creative output should look like.
