The Noob Photographer’s Introduction to Wrap Around Lighting

When I first learned about wrap around lighting many years ago, I discovered it by accident. Wrap around lighting is a technique used by many photographers to envelope their subject in a lighting that is both flattering and efficient. Lots of portrait photographers do it, and one of the aims is to try to mimic the look of the sun and clouds in certain situations. So today, we're giving photographers a bit more of an introduction to how to do it.

This Detailed Comparison Shows the Difference Between Slide Film vs. Color Negative Film

With film discontinuations here and there over the years, shooting with slide films has become either rare opportunities that you save for special shoots, or quirky experiments using expired film stocks. Still, for those who really want to get serious with film photography, knowing how to make the most out of the fresh slide films still available out there is paramount. In this very informative and detailed comparison video by Jay P. Morgan of The Slanted Lens, we get to see two of today's popular slide films, Fuji Provia 100 and Fuji Velvia 100, go head-to-head with a color negative favorite, the Kodak Portra 160.

5 Pretty Great 50mm Lenses for APS-C Portrait Photographers (And Some Tips!)

We often refer to 50mm lens on a full frame as a "standard" lens because 50mm is fairly close to the perspective of the human eye. Using a 50mm lens on a camera with an APS-C sized sensor changes that perspective by about 1.5x making your effective focal length closer to what you get with a 75mm lens on a full frame body. Now, that's not a bad thing at all and if you love shooting portraits it's a very good thing! A 50mm lens on a camera with an APS-C sized sensor is a killer portrait lens. Also, because longer focal lengths compress perspective you'll get more of a three-dimensional look when making full body portraits if you shoot at your brightest aperture.

Review: Blackforest Bags K2 Leather Edition (A Proper Man-Purse of a Camera Bag)

When the Blackforest Bags K2 Leather Edition came in for review, the first thing I thought about is just how much it looks like a man purse. I've reviewed tons of stylish camera bags before, but more than anything else that I've used, the Blackforest Bags K2 Leather Edition seems best meant to accompany your super high end camera--yet the Blackforest Bags K2 Leather Edition isn't available at a super high end price. This version is the all leather option, but there are offerings with canvas if you please. It's not going to hold a laptop or most computing devices, but it will be more than enough for most things that you'll need to have with you while out shooting.
