(Editor's note: Here is a great offer from Perfectly Clear.) The holy grail of post-processing digital images would be a true single-click option, minimizing futzing with sliders, testing this possibility vs. that-wouldn't that be wonderful? That day isn't here, but with newer software programs, we're getting closer. I recently spent a week in Little Cayman at…

Only three weeks ago, drone sightings grounded 100,000 passengers on 760 flights on Gatwick airport. And now somebody flew a drone near Heathrow, another major airport in London. Because of this, all departures were temporarily stopped for “precautionary measures.” BBC reports that the Metropolitan Police received reports of a drone sighting near Heathrow at about […] The post Heathrow airport shut down due to drone sightings appeared first on DIY Photography. Clamshell lighting produces a soft glamour style with minimal shadows, making it popular for beauty portraits. Setup is simple: Resembling a clamshell, place one light tilted high, just above the subject's eye line, and a second just below, tilted with the subject in the middle. Normally used in a studio environment, here's how to achieve clamshell lighting on location using natural light.

We all learned at school that the Earth is round and that it orbits around the Sun. But there are people who believe that the Earth is flat. And not just that they believe, but they use a powerful zoom of Nikon P900 and P1000 to prove it! In the hard-to-believe video above, Dylan Dubeau […] The post How Nikon cameras “prove” that the Earth is flat appeared first on DIY Photography. It's no mystery that the competition between Sony and Samsung in the high-end optical space is shaping the industry in fundamental ways. But what is surprising is just how bold and public Samsung is about its plans to outpace its rival and overtake them. According to the DigiTimes, “With use of CMOS image sensors (CIS) extending from smartphone cameras to automotive cameras, Samsung has planned to expand its CIS production capacity to surpass Sony to become the globally largest supplier.” Yet the real growth area anticipated by Samsung and others is not coming from more smartphones or greater camera sales, but rather the use of these sensors in autonomous vehicles, a market that is set to explode over the coming decade. That might come as a shock but it isn't really when you think about it. The sensors Samsung and Sony supply to the world for optical equipment are some of the most advanced pieces of technology on the planet. When you consider all of the things that a smartphone camera is capable of doing, transferring this tech to autonomous driving is not much of a leap. DigiTimes says, “In view of fast development of autonomous driving technology, Nvidia has cooperated with China-based Baidu to develop automotive computers by applying GPUs used in gaming to autonomous driving. Specifically for use in autonomous driving, Nvidia-developed SoC Drive Xavier can perform 30 trillion operations per second at power consumption of 30W.” Smartphones and more advanced optical applications are expected to also sop up some of the sensor production in the world but the horizon sure looks bright for more complex applications. Dystopian writers that imagined a future society filled with cameras can pat themselves on the pat though we're sure they had no idea quite how right they would be. The post New Year, New Goals: Samsung Announces Ambitions to Surpass Sony in Sensors appeared first on Light Stalking. Last year, we unveiled our favorite photos of the year for the first time-a collection that showcased the breadth and depth of the 500px community, as well as many up-and-coming talents. The curation process was an exercise in inspiration for our team, and further demonstrated how much talent, creativity, and passion 500px photographers have to offer. We're honored to reveal another instalment of our favorite photos of the year. Similar to last year, we started our discovery process with 500px photos that were popular in each category throughout 2018, to give us a sense of what the community was engaging with. We hand-picked some choices from that group with the aim of recognizing as many photographers and as much high-quality work as possible. We also added our favorite shots of 2018 from Editors' Choice, and dug deep into hidden gems and “undiscovered” work through our Recommended Photos and our own discovery. While we can't recognize every great photographer on the platform, we want to thank you all for the outstanding work you've shared with us again this year. We hope you enjoy our favorite photos of 2018 as much as we enjoyed discovering them. This is our third and final instalment of our favorite photos of 2018-read part 1 here and part 2 here. Animals
What our photo editors loved: Being one of our most popular categories, animal and wildlife photography is a competitive environment. What we love most about this set is the emotional connection these images create, forcing us to contemplate the relationships in the imagery. The viewer is invited to create or follow along with the implied narrative of friendship, acceptance or family; humanizing the experience between the animals within the frame. Underwater
What our photo editors loved: Water diffuses light differently than when we see it on land, creating a number of challenges when attempting to photograph underwater. Embracing the ever-fluctuating light source from the surface is what makes these images so dynamic. Landscapes/Nature
What our photo editors loved: These landscapes play on space, utilizing natural land formations to help drive our eyes to the landforms in the distance. Travel
What our photo editors loved: A style of photography defined by the Steve McCurrys of the world, these images explore people, landscape, and culture, uncovering the day-to-day in these destinations. From busy streets to tight, lower-light conditions, these images provide us with an informative glimpse reminiscent of documentary photography, encouraging us to explore these places for ourselves. Macro
What our photo editors loved: Focusing on smaller subjects, macro photography provides us with an unobstructed view to things that are on a smaller scale-enlarging details and almost abstracting what has been photographed. We love the central focus these images provide, giving us the ability to see the fresh dew droplets, the texture of the snail shell, or the hairy shell of the heineken fly. Sport
What our photo editors loved: Sport photography can be considered a subset of documentary or photojournalism as it often revolves around reported sporting events. Using a quick shutter, these action-packed shots are immortalized with minimal blur, providing definition and expression within each shot. Wedding
What our photo editors loved: Authenticity in wedding photography is not always easy to capture, however, these images provide us with an intimate look into the moments that help define a memory meant to last a lifetime. Abstract
What our photo editors loved: These images isolate complex and naturally-occurring patterns, leaving us to interpret what has been captured. What we love most is the range of textures, shapes, and how the photographers have obscured these natural phenomena, creating a seemingly-unreal visual experience that is easily associated with a memory or mood as your mind jumps around the image, trying to discern what it is.

In the last couple of years, photojournalists have been laid off from large media companies. Along with this, did the quality of photos drop? A recent study has confirmed what many of us think is reasonable: laying off professional photojournalists leads to a loss in the quality of images. And it's not only the loss […] The post Study reveals that firing all the news photographers was a bad idea appeared first on DIY Photography.
