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,...

In short, it's by taking time to investigate your personal vision that you will be rewarded. My homie Joey L., has been finding time to uncover personal gems throughout his career. And you'll see in his guest post below - it has paid...

I originally met Kelly Starrett through my pal Tim Ferriss (cjLIVE episode here) - who had nothing but amazing things to say... Kelly is a coach, physical therapist, author, speaker, and creator of www.MobilityWOD.com, which has revolutionized how athletes think about human movement and athletic performance (and he's teaching a workshop with our friends over at creativeLIVE today btw.....) In fact, I remember that Tim told me he thought that Kelly could really "help me"....

Knowing how to deliver images that play nicely with the current design trends is paramount for any working photographer. But why does one orientation work better than another? My friend Sohail breaks it down in the article below: Horizontal versus vertical and why wide design is pervasive and catching on. Take it away Sohail. - Chase Thanks Chase. Changing habits is tough. I used to, for the most part, use my iPad in portrait orientation....

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...

No one has single-handedly given me better insight about the business side of art/photography than New York Times best-selling author, Ramit Sethi. As artists, if we want to make a living with our work, we - like it or not - must foster our business/entrepreneurial skills, we must realize the value of our work, and we must know how to get paid. In this tight little guest post,...

There's one thing about classical music that I've always believed: it is far better to see it performed than to hear a recording of it. While this is true for just about all kinds of music, the multi-layered nature of classical compositions (especially pieces that call for large orchestras) make it even more suited than normal for in-person performance. And when those performances take place in public, the experience is all the more radical. Breaking...

UPDATE: if you dig mirrorless cameras or want to find out why everybody else loves them, you're in luck. creativeLIVE has courses on mirrorless cameras by the talented John Greengo. Go here to check it out, learn more, enroll, etc. ______ I like to shoot with the newest, biggest, baddest DSLR as much as the next guy. And I'm lucky enough to do so on the regs for my commercial work; however, when it comes...
