Golden Crop for Photoshop - Home Page Jean Francois Rauzier Hyperphoto Get to know the Top 30 most socially influential photographers | CDN Photographer Photography has gone a long way from being kept in the secrecy of the dark room and only shown to the world via newspapers and magazines. With the advent of digital technology comes new ways of sharing images around the world. Social media can be a very visual medium. Look through Facebook and Twitter, and posts with images embedded in them tend to get more clicks. Eyefi, the global leader in digital camera connectivity, has come out with a list recognizing the top 30 most socially influential photographers in terms of online impact and engagement. Both amateur and professional photographers were part of the study. These photographers have made their mark not just on their ability to take stunning images, but their ability to reach out and engage with different audiences. Eyefi CEO Matt DiMaria adds, “Every photographer embodies two distinct traits: they are stellar visual artists, and truly successful social connectors. The top 5 most socially influential photographers are: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Nikon D7000 – The Time Lapse Shooter’s Friend | I have lots of cameras but one of my favorites is the Nikon D7000 . I particularly like using it when I make time-lapse shots. It has a built-in interval timer so unlike when I use my Canon cameras, I don’t have to buy or attach any extra equipment. Here are some best practices for using the D7000 for time-lapse. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. a. It’s easiest to set the start time to “NOW” which means that once you have the timer set up and fire it the camera will immediately start making images for the time-lapse. You should experiment with how often you want the camera to fire. If you’re shooting in bright light be sure to cover the viewfinder during long time-lapse shooting periods. Then press the button and let the D7000 do its magic. Sponsored by Topaz Labs
