Read moreTripods are universally acknowledged as the one and only accessory that has the potential to improve every single picture, however, people do not use them as often as they should. When it comes to long exposure photography, a tripod is a must. A tripod will give you the greatest flexibility to get the angles you need while keeping your camera steady for those long exposures. Tripods are probably one of the most important pieces for night photography.
Read moreFrom a tiny waiting room in Rundu State Hospital in northern Namibia, Johannes Mjamba (50) limps in on a crutch. His shoes are torn and filled with sand. He removes his sweat-stained cap and then pulls himself onto the bed. “Lift your trouser leg. Let’s see what the problem is”, a staff member says. Hospital staff members and prosthetists, who have worked with amputees for years, are stunned.
Read moreBrett Florens is a very articulate man and a romantic at heart. This is somewhat at odds with his beginnings as a photographer in the early 1990s. After matriculating he underwent, what was the bane of most young white South African men - National Service. Brett was conscripted into the South African Police and became a member of the riot squad. It was there that fate first showed its hand. It was in an unusual form: a police captain handed him a video camera to record the upheaval and crime scenes.
Read moreEverybody was talking and speculating about a new Nikon release and nobody quite knew that the announcement would be the biggest Nikon has made in nearly fifteen years. With many rumours circulating a few days before the official announcement, I knew that it must be something that is either one of a kind or a world’s first of some sort.
Read moreI have always been fascinated with fire and can spend hours looking at a flame. The colours, shapes and patterns flames make in the dark are fascinating and I thought it would be a good exercise to try to photograph them and capture the magic of matches.
Read moreWhen shooting wildlife images, the background can be almost as important as the subject itself. Different backgrounds can add much to an image. The background may have nothing in it besides colour, and focus interest on the subject. The background may contain other items of interest, or it may create a perception of three-dimensional depth, or can give an image a particular mood or atmosphere.
Read moreThe 80s were the halcyon years of the PR Industry in South Africa - product launches, client lunches and photo shoots of pretty girls modelling products, were the order of the day. Having said all that, my years at Errol Fyfe Public Relations were not all parties and pretty girls. Errol Fyfe was, at the time, one of the biggest Public Relations Companies in South Africa, with prestigious clients such as BMW, Anglo American, Institute of Directors, SA Gold Coin Exchange, Shaft Sinkers to name but a few.
Read moreSince their launch, the Nikon V1 and its little brother the J1 have generated a great deal of discussion. The V1 is designed to be easy to use, whatever your level of photographic experience and Nikon has made an effort to keep the V1 as simple as possible, both in terms of ergonomics and specifications.
Read moreA faulty tumble dryer recently taught me a valuable photography lesson. Up until then, I had always assumed that there were two basic approaches to photography. The first involves finding a scene and patiently waiting for conditions to be perfect for photography – the fishing technique. The second, more suited to those like me with limited patience, involves constantly moving and finding scenes that are perfect at the time – the hunting technique.
Read moreWhen photographing little Natalie I had to get down to her level. The key to natural baby shots is to get low - this way you get images that look like you have entered the baby’s world rather than always looking down on them. In some of the images I used a macro lens. This created more intimate photographs. Sometimes it is better to use a telephoto lens to get in close rather than shoving a macro lens in a baby’s face.
Read moreSmall but perfectly molded, cameras in the Olympus PEN range are well loved for their fashionable looks and user-friendly handling. One of a trio of new launches from the manufacturer, the new Micro Four Thirds PEN Lite, E-PL3, continues the PEN trend for combining retro appeal with a complete feature set.

Read moreAn aesthetically pleasing lighting effect which can be exploited when photographing in bright, middle of the day sunlight is to start under exposing the available light and deliberately placing flash onto the important compositional elements to highlight these effectively.

His career started with a rather interesting story. Whilst still at school Neil had a rather mean teacher that put nitrate on his hands and told him to stand in the sun.

The ’1′ is because the Nikon 1 interchangeable lens camera system is the first of its kind. Built from the ground up, Nikon’s engineers didn’t use existing technology.
Johannesburg, South Africa, 8 September 2011 – For the first time ever, Nikon in South Africa introduces a primary-coloured model to its D-SLR camera range. From the end of September, its bestselling D-SLR, the Nikon D3100, will be available in red.
The D3100 is Nikon’s popular entry-level D-SLR. The new addition to the range will offer the same 14.2 megapixels, Guide Mode, full HD movie, and Live View modes as the original D3100. However, the introduction of a vibrant red model is set to broaden the camera’s appeal among first-time D-SLR users, families and young people.
The camera has been hugely popular amongst newcomers to D-SLR photography, particularly those looking to capture all of life’s important moments in perfect quality, without worrying about settings. It has been particularly well received by families, as the camera makes it easy to shoot beautiful photos and full HD movies capturing those unmissable times.
Professional photographer recovers stolen Nikon D3 camera using GadgetTrak Camera Serial Search. The stolen camera was tracked down through images posted on Flickr after the device was stolen that were scanned and indexed by GadgetTrak. Police acted on evidence provided and recovered the camera a year after it was stolen.
