Olympus OM-D EM-5 the OM-D Nicely Reprises the Jewel-Like Looks of Olympus’S Legendary OM-Series of Compact 35Mm SLRS Text by Dan Richards Photos by Travis Rathbone Gear Now All year, we put photo gear through its paces: we test it, Beuse it, manhandle it. When st we’re through, we make a list of the top items we’ve tried and tested. Then we cross off most of the list. The remaining items receive top honors: The POP Award for Photography’s Outstanding Products. Here’s what made the cut in 2012. LOOKS SHARP, SHOOTS SHARP Olympus OM-D EM-5 The OM-D nicely reprises the jewel-like looks of Olympus’s legendary OM-series of compact 35mm SLRS.

  • Photographic Equipment Guidelines the Farm Lodge Lake Clark National Park, Alaska
    Photographic Equipment Guidelines The Farm Lodge Lake Clark National Park, Alaska by Jim Barr Professional Nature, Adventure Travel, and Outdoor Sports Photographer President, American Society of Media Photographers, Alaska Chapter Photography Guide, The Farm Lodge, Lake Clark National Park Introduction. Here are some general and specific equipment suggestions for photo tour participants. These start and build from “ground zero”, so just blend this information with the equipment that you already have. Equipment is important, but...the old cliché “cameras don’t take pictures, people do” really is true. So don’t put too much emphasis on the equipment. We’ll help you get the most out of what you have. On the other hand, a bear’s face would need to be within two or three feet of the lens for a frame- filling National Geographic quality close-up with a small point-and-shoot or cell phone camera. Not healthy for the photographer (or the bear), and not too likely to happen. The right tools do help. Keep size, weight, and portability in mind. You’ll be traveling to Port Alsworth on a small plane, and deeper into the bush each day on an even smaller one. Space is limited. We’ll also be doing some walking. Bears will require a mile or so of light hiking each way. On landscape days we may hike further and sometimes over rougher terrain, but you can leave heavy wildlife gear at the lodge or in the airplane. We do have options that limit the walking necessary, but there will always be some.

  • HASSELBLAD INTRODUCES the H6D-400C MS, a 400 MEGA PIXEL
    Press information – for immediate release Gothenburg, Sweden 16 Jan 2018 HASSELBLAD INTRODUCES THE H6D-400c MS, A 400 MEGA PIXEL MULTI-SHOT CAMERA Building on a vast experience of developing exceptional, high-quality single and multi-shot cameras, Hasselblad once again has raised the bar for image quality captured with medium format system. Multi-Shot capture has become an industry standard in the field of art reproduction and cultural heritage for the documentation of paintings, sculptures, and artwork. As the only professional medium format system to feature multi-shot technology, Hasselblad continues to be the leading choice for institutions, organizations, and museums worldwide to record historic treasures in the highest image quality possible. With over 10 years of digital imaging expertise, the latest Multi-Shot digital camera combines the H6D’s unrivalled ease of use with a completely new frontier of image quality and detail. This new camera encompasses all of the technological functions of Hasselblad’s H6D single shot camera, and adds to that the resolution and colour fidelity advancements that only Multi-Shot photography can bring to image capture. With an effective resolution of 400MP via 6 shot image capture, or 100MP resolution in either 4 shot Multi-Shot capture or single shot mode, the Multi-Shot capture requires the sensor and its mount to be moved at a high-precision of 1 or ½ a pixel at a time via a piezo unit. To capture Multi-Shot images the camera must be tethered to a PC or MAC. In 400MP Multi-Shot mode, 6 images are captured, the first 4 involve moving the sensor by one pixel at a time to achieve real colour data (GRGB- see 4 shot diagrams below), this cycle then returns the sensor to its starting point.

  • Vantage 6 Mm Attachment for Nikon 8 Mm Fisheye
    VANTAGE 6 MM ATTACHMENT FOR NIKON 8 MM FISHEYE The Vantage 6 mm Attachment converts the Nikon 8 mm Fisheye into a lens with a 220° angle of view. This perspective is so extreme, the lens actually looks backwards on the edges of the frame. The front glass diameter measures 225 mm/8.8” and it weighs a total of 2.6 kg/5.6 lbs. This makes the Vantage 6mm Fisheye Attachment one of the largest optical elements ever produced for motion picture image capture, and its existence alone is an impressive example of Vantage’s capabilities as a lens producer. Resulting Focal Length 6 mm Resulting T-Stop 2.8 Cfd 0.27m / 11˝ Image Format 35 mm Weight 5 kg / 10.9 lbs Including Nikon 8 mm Front Diameter Ø 236 mm Internal Filters Ø 40.5 mm Made in Germany by Vantage Film GmbH For further information contact Vantage Film, Phone +49 961 26795, www.vantagefilm.com VANTAGE 0.7x REDUCER When shooting with a Century Series 2000 Mk2 Periscope wide open, the lens has a T-Stop of T4. Combine this lens with the Vantage 0.7x Reducer and the T-Stop of the Periscope changes to T2.8 with noticeably improved picture quality. The Vantage 0.7x Reducer can be combined with many telephoto lenses and periscopes. By attaching a 0.7x Reducer, the image size will be reduced, but aberrations will also be reduced. Therefore, the lens with the reducer attached will perform better than the original lens. For decades, only 1.4x or 2x Extenders were available.

Hall Author Frederick C. Hall is senior plant ecologist, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region, Natural Resources, P.O. Box 3623, Portland, Oregon 97208-3623. Paper prepared in cooperation with the Pacific Northwest Region. Abstract Hall, Frederick C. 2001 Ground-based photographic monitoring. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-503. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 340 p. Land management professionals (foresters, wildlife biologists, range managers, and land managers such as ranchers and forest land owners) often have need to evaluate their management activities. Photographic monitoring is a fast, simple, and effective way to determine if changes made to an area have been successful. Ground-based photo monitoring means using photographs taken at a specific site to monitor conditions or change. It may be divided into two systems: (1) comparison photos, whereby a photograph is used to compare a known condition with field conditions to estimate some parameter of the field condition; and (2) repeat photo- graphs, whereby several pictures are taken of the same tract of ground over time to detect change. Comparison systems deal with fuel loading, herbage utilization, and public reaction to scenery. Repeat photography is discussed in relation to land- scape, remote, and site-specific systems. Critical attributes of repeat photography are (1) maps to find the sampling location and of the photo monitoring layout; (2) documentation of the monitoring system to include purpose, camera and film, w e a t h e r, season, sampling technique, and equipment; and (3) precise replication of photographs.
