When aviation photographer, Justin De Rueck, takes to the skies, he is usually wielding his Canon 1D Mark IV. During a recent assignment to photograph an L-39 aerobatic team over Cape Town, South Africa, he outfitted his camera with a Canon 24mm f/4 lens, later switching out to a 16-35mm, and strapped himself in for the ride of a lifetime. By the looks of the video, being an honorary member of the aerobatic team is equally stunning and nauseating, as the photographer is forced to work through G-force, rapid twists, sharp turns, and at points flying upside down.

When shooting an animal themed photoshoot at Ray of Light Farm, photographer Adrien Broom called on a PocketWizard MiniTT1 paired with the PocketWizard AC3 ZoneController to provide her the flexibility of controlling her multi-flash setup directly from her camera. The AC3 Zone Controller gave Broom the ability to adjust the zone levels up to six stops and turn her Elinchrome Digital 2400 and Einstein E640 on and off without ever having to touch the speedlights beyond initial setup. It is interesting to observe the setup and process taken to capture these unique photos.

As violence continues in Syria, there are many photographers risking their lives in an effort to report the truth to the world. Without journalists on the ground, the government would be free to manipulate the news and the truth about what is happening there. French photographer Remi Ochlik was killed this week along with another prominent journalist, Marie Colvin, in a barrage of gunfire and shelling by government forces in Homs, Syria.

A recent TED TALK by digital artist, Erik Johansson has raised a few eyebrows among the photography crowd for more than a couple reasons. While most will agree that his photography skills are far above average, critics argue that the real art behind his work comes in Photoshop. For those of you not familiar with Johansson’s work, he is a well know image manipulator that combines multiple photographs resulting in a single photograph that would be otherwise impossible to take with a camera.

Yosemite National Park spans over 700,000 acres and is home to some of North Americas most diverse wildlife. The park’s sweeping valleys, lush with ancent sequoia trees, perfectly complement the giant granite slopes and waterfalls that fall from them. Yosemite is, without a doubt, a true nature photographers playground. So much in fact, a section of the park is named in honor of famous photographer, Ansel Adams. Colin Delehanty recently spent four days with a fellow photographer, Sheldon Niel, to create this four minute timelapse of the park.

In this two-minute long time-lapse, photographers from Beep Show, illustrate the cross-continental flight from San Francisco, California to Paris, France. The video starts at take-off and ends on landing; however, it is noted that the beginning and ending of the video are 3D models that were rendered because of restrictions that are set in place prohibiting the use of electronic devices during these stages of flight, though there is a lot of debate over the truth of those statements. You can judge for yourself here.
