Photography work for National Geographic is as demanding as it comes. Oftentimes required to shoot in tough environments in rough conditions, both the photographer and his equipment need to be on the top of their game to get the job done.

To ensure the equipment side of the equation is good to go, Kenji Yamaguchi...

 

 

Announced back in September 2014 for Photokina alongside the Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 Zuiko Pro, the tiny and robust Olympus MC-14 1.4x teleconverter offers Micro Four Thirds users not only the first focal length extender for the Micro Four Thirds system, but also one that maintains the rugged, splashproof build of...

Throughout his career, American photojournalist Steve McCurry has been taken to a number of incredible destinations. But, as he shares in this three minute video, more often it’s the journey, not the destination that leads him to his best work.

Shared by Phaidon Press, the video uses footage from McCurry’s many journeys alongside his own...

 

 

Programmer and photographer Jack Mahoney and his friend Eric Hartsuyker, decided to make use of data from EyeEm (a photo sharing site popular in Europe) to see how the colors in photographs change across Europe. With the help of some clever programming and queries to the photo-sharing platform, the two dug up HSL...

 

 

Getting your artwork from your computer onto your wall can sometimes be a job in and of itself. CollageMo is looking to change that though, with a new service that allows you to easily create custom aluminum prints and collages for your wall, all from the convenience of your iOS device.

If raw shooting is par for the course in your workflow, you're typically faced with a choice: See lower-quality JPEG previews of your images when browsing, or wait what seems like an eternity to switch between real-time rendered raw previews. There's one app that provides the best of both worlds, though --...

 

 

After a truly monumental Firmware Friday last week, things have calmed down a little here at the Imaging Resource newsdesk. This week, we're aware of only five firmware updates, all for cameras aimed first and foremost at the video crowd.

Australia's Blackmagic Design makes frequent appearances in our...

For those of you enticed by the ultra-compact Panasonic GM1 Micro Four Thirds camera, but put off by missing features like a built-in EVF or 1080/60p video recording, you're now in luck. Indeed, the Panasonic GM5 has come along and taken the best of the GM1 -- practically-pocketable size, high performance, and excellent image quality -- and added many of the features we...

 

 

We've seen some curious cameras over the years, but the latest offering from Casio -- whose cameras are no longer officially sold in the US market -- really takes the cake. The Casio EX-MR1, sold under the tagline "Kawaii Selfie by Mirror Cam", is a camera designed solely for selfie fans, with a bizarre...

 

 

A month after it completely overhauled its flagship Optics Pro image processing application, not to mention its other imaging apps for Mac and Windows, French software company DxO Labs is back with another update. This time around, support is added for four dedicated cameras and two smartphones, and there...

The hugely popular Fujifilm X100S from early 2013 was upgraded this year in the form of the highly anticipated follow-up Fujifilm X100T, and we've now uploaded our initial lab test series First Shots.

Nothing on the X100T has changed in the way of the general basics in the imaging pipeline, from the bright 35mm eq. f/2.0 lens, the same...

 

 

With the powerful, beefy, professional-level Samsung NX1 now hitting store shelves -- and perhaps already a few lucky customers' camera bags -- Samsung needed an equally beefy, professional-level lens to pair nicely with their new camera. Luckily, they announced one back at CES 2014 earlier this year. The Samsung...

 

 

It's official: the Sony RX100 III is a great little pocket camera, and a magnificent followup to the earlier RX100 and RX100 II. One thing it's not, though, is an underwater camera -- or at least it wasn't until very recently. That's all changed with the release of Fantasea Line's latest product.

The...

 

 

A fortnight ago, Sony got everyone talking with the launch of the full-frame Sony A7 II, an update to one of last year's most exciting cameras. The big change in the A7 Mark II is its five-axis image stabilization system, a world's first for a full-frame, interchangeable-lens camera. It also sports quite a few...

 

 

Making a really great photo is only one part in the life of a photographer. Just as important is to place your photo in front of an audience to get some feedback -- and for many of us, that means placing it online.

And chances are, you don't just upload each image in one place: You probably share them on a...

 

 

If you read our Pentax 645Z review, published a couple of months ago, you already know that Ricoh's mighty medium-format DSLR is one seriously impressive camera. It's also very affordable by medium-format camera standards -- but medium-format gear is notoriously pricey, so that's a relative thing.

You've...

 

 

The Nikon D750, the spiritual successor to the much-lauded D700, is here, and as expected given the six-year timespan since the D700 was first introduced, imaging technology has improved by leaps and bounds. Complete with Nikon's latest imaging tech, including a similar (but not exactly the same) 24.3-megapixel...

 

 

Want to try your hand at really high-speed photography, but put off by the costs and dangers of an air-gap flash? (One such model, Maurice Ribble's Airgap, will run you US$2,000 and jumps 16,000 volts across two electrodes to create its brief light source.) Now, there's a much more affordable, LED-based...
