As a Pro photographer, this is sooooo funny! This happens so often and just blows me away at the insane attitudes and unrealistic mindset of some people.

We work our butts off to give them the Glam and get treated like swap meet vendors.

So dead on… Unfortunately!

This famous photo, taken on 5 June 1989 by photographer Jeff Widener, depicts an unknown man halting the PLA’s advancing tanks near Tiananmen Square.

The protest turned into the Tiananmen Square massacre when the Chinese Government sent a military response to the protesters.

Fast forward to 3:15 if you want to skip to the Tank Man but make sure to watch it in HQ.

Let’s never forget!

Replaces your camera strap or bulky bag! Keep your DSLR locked into your hip with the Spider Camera Holster.

“It’s a novel approach with some merit, although all the photographers here predicted that our pants would be around our knees if we tried it with a lens as heavy as the one pictured. I can also imagine the bruises on my thigh caused by a large pro dSLR like the Nikon D3.”

Or at least that’s what Shai Eyav would like you to do! For some reason, I’m not too sure I would want to depend on my pants to hold something up.

It might be good for photographers who aren’t walking/running around too much but I don’t see a paparazzi wearing one of these.

The Genius Of Photography is a documentary series exploring the history of photography – from daguerreotype to digital, from portraits to photo-journalism, from art to advertising.

The program starts in earnest with a startling example of the camera obscura, explaining that it preceded photography itself by hundreds of years. It moves on to reveal the experiments of the early 1800s, when light sensitive chemicals were discovered.

The problem then, was that that the chemicals would continue on developing until they turned black. This leads into the experiments of Englishman Fox Talbot and Frenchman Louis Daguerre that created printed, fixed versions of the images that could be chemically developed.

“In the course of our 170 year relationship, photography has delighted us, served us, moved us, outraged us and occasionally disappointed us. But mainly, it has intrigued us by showing the secret strangeness that lies beneath the world of appearances. And that is photography’s true genius.”

If you were expecting a detailed look into anything in this first program, then forget it. This is a helter-skelter gallop through the past for the masses, not photography students.

That’s what I’m talking about!! Very cool! But as I’m sure,  you must know, the Bluetooth protocol only allows stereo audio which is actually perfect for in-car usage.
