Wireless Cameras Are The Future — What’s in it for You?

I've been banging on the doors, windows, and faces of camera manufacturers for years about this one having long found value in the idea, "What good is a picture if you can't share it?" It's a simple concept that lots of us helped ignite in our culture via mobile devices. Instantly being able to share is assumed... read more ›

Canon EOS 6D Hands-ON — Canon Giveth, Canon Taketh Away

Canon EOS 6D
It seems our exploratory swim in the waters of full-frame DSLRs is far from complete. With the ink from his recent reviews of the D600 and the mirrorless Panasonic GH3 still drying, I asked my homie Ben Pitt to put the Canon EOS 6D between his microscope plates and share his findings here. As you'd expect with a lower-priced semi-pro camera, the EOS 6D is a mixed-bag. It's light and boasts integrated GPS + Wi-Fi,... read more ›

Will report back again after all is said and done, but in... read more ›

Hands-On Camera Review with the Panasonic GH3 — [Side By Side Comparos + Can it Beat a $250 eBay Bargain?]

Given the response and discussion around last week's post on the D600, I invited pal Ben Pitt back to share another hands on review of a camera that has been competing for eyeballs: the GH3. Since the introduction of the Lumix DMC-GH1 back in 2009, the GH-series' has been gobbling up mindshare for photographers looking for some great technology in a tightly sized and affordable package. I'm a big ol' fan of the mirrorless category... read more ›

D600 the Affordable full-frame DSLR — What’s the Catch? [Hands on Review]

It's been out in the marketplace for a while now - but the conversation and questions continue to churn around the D600. Is it all that and a bag of chips? Or is there a catch? Is it a good choice for the working pro and how does it compare to Nikon's D800? At a pricepoint that is majorly accesible, it offers similar features as the DX-format D7000 and seems to represent a big leap... read more ›

Emerging Talent: Niki Feijen’s Interiors of Intrigue [and What Pro Photographers Need To Learn From Non-Pros]

ChaseJarvis_EmergingTalent_NikiFeijen_AmyRollo
I was first introduced to Niki Feijen's work via Amy Rollo who helps me with the Best Photo Locations pieces on my blog. I saw his stuff and, naturally, poked around to learn more about him. Ironically, one of my favorite parts of Niki's backstory is that he's not a professional photographer. He has a day job, and photographs his passion - urban exploring. And then something occurred to me: while it may be unconventional... read more ›

I've always been a fan of photographic works by Andreas Gursky and others that are huge in scale and still maintain amazing detail. While Gursky is a living legend and none of us are approaching his sphere any time soon, there are a variety of more accessible approaches to creating massive images that maintain incredible details available to most of us As such I want to take a second to introduce Ben Pitt.
