PhotoRogue.com - Request an Original Photograph Présentation du Samyang 14mm f/2.8 - Mon Petit Reflex : la photo sans complexe Avec un prix qui tourne autour des 300€, on est en droit de se demander si la qualité est au rendez-vous. Le fait est que Samyang produit généralement de très bonnes optiques, le plus souvent en focale fixe à un prix abordable sans sacrifier la qualité tout simplement parce que ces modèles sont pour la plupart dépourvu de toute fonctionnalité électronique. Pas d’AF, pas de contrôle du diaphragme, pas de stabilisation… bref un optique simple mais de bonne facture. Du point de vue de la construction, rien à redire pour ma part. Le corps en métal donne directement une impression de solidité, il en va de même pour la bague de monture. Avant de parler de la qualité, je tiens à préciser que je parle ici de mon expérience quand le Samyang 14mm f/2.8 est monté sur un boîtier plein format, ce qui bien entendu un impact important sur le rendu et principalement sur le champ de vision. Comme vous pouvez le constater, la différence est énorme.
Techno Gadgets - Your Reliable Source of Photo Equipments How to create a photograph with a Droste effect | usinglight I always was a big fan of M.C.Escher and his recursive and impossible pictures. When I saw the first escheresque photograph I could not resist to search the web and find out how it is done. A few days ago I rediscovered the technique of the Droste effect. A Droste effect picture is a picture within a picture within a picture within a picture… a neverending spiral. This tutorial is based on the tutorial by Josh Sommers, which is a little outdated so I wrote a short guide on how to do it with current versions of the tools. As the original this version is directed at Windows users. What you will need for this tutorial: A working installation of GIMP version 2.6 or newer. Step 1: Preparing the picture What you need for this particular example is a picture “with a hole inside”. Step 2: Droste effect with MathMap Press OK. Congratulations. So this was a simple one.

Bean bag for safari Well, that is what I planned to title the article. I spent two weeks examining more than a dozen different bean bag designs for supporting camera and telephoto lens on safari. I developed a rating system and thought I could come up with the one true winner. It doesn’t work that way – life just isn’t that simple. A real bean bag - Let's hope we can find you something better than this! As I reviewed each of the 21 different bags (and a summary review will be posted) and considered how one needs a bean bag on safari, I concluded that it is very safari dependent. Okay, enough with the confusing double talk. For lack of a better descriptor, I will classify the bags into two main categories – full supports and sack supports. If you want to jump to the conclusions and recommendations, you can click here for our full support bag recommendation or click here for our sack type recommendation.
