Usually, if you hear a story about a mid-air collision between two planes, it's the beginning of a tragedy.

We were expecting great things from the groundbreaking Sony A7R, a full-frame mirrorless camera with a 36.4-megapixel sensor, no low-pass filter, and a new BIONZ-X image processor.

A month ago, Instagram told us that ads were on the way. Now users of the app might have noticed that the very first of the approved advertisements has made it into their news feed — and some people aren't too happy.

It was just days ago that we learned that the Adobe data leak was worse than originally reported — but now it looks as though we might have to revise our opinion again, as news indicates the stolen passwords are stored in a fundamentally unsafe manner.

There's definitely a trend of sticking GoPro cameras on animals, and watching them do their thing. But it takes a special sort of person who, after already facing down an angry creature, goes back to capture the encounter again, this time with more cameras.

Earlier this year, motorcyclist Marty Todd's video of an...

 

 

Way back when, I wrote about the dust problems we were seeing in Nikon D600 cameras.  There was enough of a furor about it that when the Nikon D610 was released I assumed that the dust problem would be fixed. But I’m rather the paranoid type, and I never like...

French photographer Jean-Yves Lemoigne is an award winning advertising photographer, with campaigns under his belt for the likes of Saatchi&Saatchi, Citroen, Perrier, Volkwagen, and more. But its his slightly unnerving series of eternally looping portraits that have caught our eye.
