Iceland is one of these countries that we just can't get enough of. Only recently we wrote about a video taken with a drone copter in Iceland's rough yet beautiful landscapes, and now comes another film that shows off the country's breathtaking scenery. 'Crystalapse: Frozen in Timelapse' is a blend of timelapse, regular video and drone footage...

 

 

Fear not Olympus OM-D fans, the next installment of my Olympus E-M10 shooter's report is here. In this update, I was fortunate to have all the stars fall into alignment and was able to test the E-M10 on a variety of subjects, that happen to be some of my favorites -- sports, wildlife and long exposures.

Earlier this week, HTC unveiled the HTC One M8, their new flagship smartphone. One of the headlining features is the dual-camera setup on the back—a standard 4-megapixel camera, seemingly identical to the module in last year’s HTC One, plus a depth-sensing camera. The idea is that it enables some computational...

 

 

The Sony A5000 -- or more specifically 'Alpha 5000' -- is Sony's first compact, crop sensor, E-mount camera to forego the 'NEX' moniker. However, this new entry-level, pocketable mirrorless camera is more than just a name change. The A5000 sits in their lineup primarily as the successor to the Sony NEX-3N, although...

 

 

Is there any place that aerial photography can’t take us? Earlier this week, we saw a DJI Phantom and GoPro Hero3+ get up close and personal with an erupting volcano. Today, the same gear flies us into the ice caves at Mendenhall Glacier, outside of Juneau, Alaska.

The clip was shot by Juneau-based Fireflight...

 

 

Aerial footage shot with a GoPro is usually pretty great. Drone pilots have even rigged up APS-C and full-frame cameras to their fliers. Now how about an even larger sensor?

Earlier this week, Phase One announced what they say is the world’s smallest and lightest medium-format digital camera, the 50-megapixel iXU...

 

 

Lot's of great camera deals today, especially if you're a Canon shooter. We've found cool bundle deals on full-frame Canon DSLRs, plus a hot price on the Canon 70D kit. We've also found a great price on a Sony NEX mirrorless camera. As for lenses, there's a couple excellent savings on Canon and Sigma lenses....

 

 

Last September, we told you about the debut of Japanese lens manufacturer Tokina's new video-specific Cinema-series lens line. At the time, the one comment we heard from readers was that the Tokina 16-28 T3.0 Cinema lens seemed rather too expensive -- but back then it had only been announced in the company's home...

 

 

Back in November 2012, network-attached storage company Drobo discontinued its popular entry-level, four-bay NAS system in favor of a new five-bay unit. The Drobo 5D was quite a bit more capable than its predecessor, but it was also much more expensive, putting a Drobo NAS out of reach of many potential customers....

 

 

There’s a pretty good chance that one of your cameras has a Sony sensor, especially if you count smartphones. The sensor division is so successful, in fact, that Sony is counting on its continued growth to offset big losses elsewhere in the company, according to a Reuters profile published yesterday.

I don't know about you, but I feel pretty satisfied when I manage to get up off my duff and snap a few photos at the park. Then there are the photographers who really chase adventure. Mike Palmer is the adventurous...

 

 

Here’s yet another breadcrumb along the trail of Apple’s imaging aspirations: Apple Insider dug up a patent application for a dual-sensor camera design.

In this setup one camera would capture luminance data, while the other would capture color. The two shots would be processed and stacked together,...

 

 

The Micro Four Thirds system has yet another fast prime at its disposal, filling out the “normal” part of the focal range a bit more.

Panasonic announced a new Leica-branded 15mm f/1.7 earlier this week, equivalent to a 30mm field of view in full-frame terms. The body is made of metal, and in a design touch that...

Could Tamron soon unveil its first fisheye lens? It appears that the third-party lens maker is indeed working on such a lens, as the company has recently filed a patent for a 10mm f/2.8 fisheye lens for cameras with APS-C-sized sensors. So far, Tamrom is best known for its zoom lenses for DSLR cameras, which cover everything from wide-angles...

 

 

If it wasn’t obvious before, it should be now: Smartphones are the place to find real innovation in cameras.

The new HTC One M8 was announced this morning and like its predecessor, its camera is one of the headline features. The designers upped the ante even further this time around, packing a forward-thinking...

We here at The Imaging Resource are lucky to have a community of wonderful photographers who send us stunning photographs each and every month for our Photo Of The Day contest. At the end of each month we have the honor of voting for which of these beautiful photos will win top honors and take home the prizes, but it's often a difficult task, given just how many good photos...

Thanks to quadcopters such as the DJI Phantom, camera-equipped aerial drones are not only available to the masses, but also a popular tool for creating video footage from a birds-eye perspective. The latest mesmerizing drone-captured video hails from Iceland, and it shows off the wild and rough beauty of the country's landscapes.

The video...

 

 

It’s been a busy week for auctions involving Hasselblad cameras with ties to earth’s largest satellite—and eyebrow-raising hammer prices.

Following the $900,000 sale of a camera that (probably) went to the moon at an Austrian auction house, Hassy auctioned off a pair of their Lunar cameras at an exotic car...

Our journey begins

The trail for the first few days was relatively easy, and I say relatively because as a flatlander who had done little to get in shape before the trip, even a modest pitch felt like something at 10,000 feet with 35 hours of jetlag and a 12-hour time difference.
