While some might swear by sudoku or word puzzles, there's evidence that something much more near and dear to our hearts could help prevent cognitive decline: photography.

For our readers in the United States, today is Veterans Day, an official holiday set aside to honor the many people who have put their lives on the line to protect our way of life.

Photographer Mike Stimpson has a fondness for Lego, all it takes to notice that is a look at his web page. But the photographer has taken his love for photographing minifigs one step further, and combined it with some of the most iconic images in the history of photography for a cute series called Classics in Lego....

 

 

If you're anything like me, your iPhone's Camera Roll is a thousands long set of wildly different images, which are more or less impossible to sort through. But a new app called Impala will try and improve that, by trawling through your saved photos, and organizing them by what it thinks your subjects are.

Unlike...

 

 

It's a grey, Autumnal Monday in much of the world. How about something with a bit of color to brighten it up? We happened to discover a series of completely unrelated but equally gorgeous images and videos, all of which involve colored smoke, powders, and explosions — which seems the perfect antidote to a Monday...

 

 

Creating a timelapse video isn't easy. A hyperlapse — which is a timelapse in motion — is doubly so. But this incredibly hyperlapse video from Matthew Vandeputte beggars belief, as it's comprised of more than 100,000 images, shot over the course of a year all across the globe, and with every subject imaginable.

We're all used to receiving firmware updates for our digital cameras, but major changes to fundamental features of the camera are another matter entirely. For customers of Canon's Cinema EOS C100 digital video camera, however, the second update announced in just a handful of weeks will see a huge change...

 

 

Friday is here once more, and with it, our weekly wrapup of all that's new on the firmware front -- although this time around, we've two weeks of updates to cover. (With news editor Mike Tomkins out of town last week, we didn't have our usual Firmware Friday piece.) That means more to discuss than usual,...

 

 

Leica's newest announcement is bound to make those who worry about the famed camera brand's dedication to photography fret even more.

4K video might not be on many devices yet, but you can bet in the next couple of years it'll become more prevalant -- and before you know it, even $150 point-and-shoots will be able to record insanely high resolution video.

Pixar's Up was and is one of the most touching animated stories to make its way to the big screen. And what better way to pay homage to the titular flying house than to make a tiny version, and send it into the air with a camera on board?

This will be a pretty short post, but I wanted to clear up a misconception about the Sony A7's sensor.

While Sony has promised to produce more native lenses for the full-frame A7 and A7R until the company does, you're stuck using one of a handful of native full-frame lenses, or else shooting using APS-C formatted NEX lenses.
