    photo credit: EvelynGiggles …if the price difference with New is really large enough (don’t forget that in most countries and in Europe importing photo gear from outside requires to pay VAT and a few % of custom duties): Buy New if the difference is small, you’ll also get a manufacturer warranty. …if the selling web…

  • Develop a Photoshop workstream

    Many photographers think that it is enough to take the file just out of the camera to give it to its public. I am deeply convinced that this is a total error, maybe because I started photography in the black-and-white laboratory of the family. Very early, I was able to see that the developing phase…

  • Franco Limosani

    When a photographer rides freely in his/her free time, he/she will reach new photographic themes, some that are not in the daily routine.

  • John Ross

    Sometimes, photography is hard to separate from painting and becomes a creative art with its own simplifications. This is what happens with some of the best works of John Ross. From London, he proposes photographs of human bodies seemingly covered with blood (kudos for red paint and nice lighting). But you should also explore the…

  • Sony A65 / A77: The differences in pictures

    If you were wondering what the real differences are between the new Sony Alpha D-SLR semi-transparent mirror cameras (the Sony SLT-A65 and Sony SLT-A77), here is a summary made in pictures. It may help better understand the differences justifying the very large price gap between the two models (for the same digital sensor). Pictures coming…
