Two cities in completely different worlds. But they were shot by two photographers-videographers-hyperlapsers. To watch just for the pleasure of it. Paris: Bonjour Paris | A Hyper-Lapse Film – In 4K from Tyler Fairbank on Vimeo. Saigon:
Wildlife photographer Vincent Munier short documentary film, titled “Arctique” is a way to discover how his great pictures are taken, inorder to display the great beauty of the arctic.
What could be more frustrating that holding a DLSR camera worth thousands of bucks and not being able to focus on the subject in front of you? So, I collected a few excellent guides or tutorials which provide good summaries (I think) of the possibilities of these cameras when it comes to autofocus or AF.…
Even before your camera, the computer monitor is the tool that the photographer uses most often. With the advent of digital techniques in photography, we spend more and ore time in front of this large screen where we select the best shots, we correct minor errors, improve the overall appearance of our best photos (and…
It appears that 2015 and 2016 are the stage for maximum solar activity leading to a peak in number and intensity of polar auroras, these marvellous light exhibits that Nature displays in the night sky under high latitudes. If you travel to Canada, Scandinavia or Russia this Winter (long nights!), you may be tempted to…
A few changes for YLovePhoto in 2016. Starting with the decision of adding a special complement to the web site for those who know and love FlipBoard, a powerful way to flip pages on Internet-based magazines. It’s even easier if you chose to use your smart phone: your magazine pages are flipped from the tip…
Cold weather is coming back real quick now, but this is no reason to stop shooting photos. I’d rather go under the hot sun of Africa, but Winter lights and the low light of high latitudes (Arctic, Antarctica or even Scandinavia) allow so lovely pictures that I would prefer taking some more photos. But cold…
Some photos are somewhat more difficult to biuld than others. Alex Cornell succeeded in combining all that is needed: An unusual subject: An iceberg just after it flipped over (the part which is normally deep under water bumps up out of the sea and is not yet worn out by the weather) and shows its…
We always complain about the quality of user manuals of our cameras. We sometimes complain about the environmental impact of their useless paper. Here is a delightfully intelligent solution to it: Make the packaging double as a user manual (or re-use the materials of the manual into a clever packaging for the DSLR camera). Please…
Yes, I know. The Canon 200-400mm f/4 ext 1.4 costs a little fortune (or, at least, as much as a little car). Knowing quite well that I was lucky to be able to get mine (I will never thank enough those who contributed so actively; They will recognize themselves), I also know that it will…
The Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Lens with Internal 1.4x Extender is a major piece of glass from Canon. One sample just arrived at YLovePhoto, so it was a good opportunity to share with you the unpacking process. Of course, I must profusely thank Xtian for his considerable help.
Like many people, when you prepare to buy an expensive camera like the Nikon D4, you’d prefer to go (even quickly) through the User Manual. However, this has always been difficult without the assistance of a Nikon representative or… the help of YLovePhoto. Here are a few links to on-line copies of the Nikon D4…
This is coming from Reuters: The German manufacturer of flashes and accessories, Metz, filed for insolvency. this is bad news for 600 employees. This is also the probable end of an astounding range of flashes and camera accessories, from mid- to high-end. We thought that they were strictly unassailable and, once again, the economic reality…
Last week, Sigma surprised all of us with a very unusual announcement: Sigma Mount Conversion Service. It’s all about offering the owners of the most recent Sigma lenses (the Art, Sport and Contemporary series; currently seven lenses in all) the possibility to swap mounts. You bought a 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM with a Canon mount…
Here is one big lens who knows how to make people wait: The all-new, all-innovative super-tele-zoom lens from Canon, the EF 200-400 f/4L IS 1.4x. It’s a lens which was pre-announced by Canon more than a year ago (for the first time). Since then, the rumors extended beyond reason. The lens was seen several times…
Nikon has decided to start renewing some of its sports- or wildlife-oriented long lenses this year (and probably in 2014 too). Starting in January 2013, they offer a monster of a lens, the Nikkor 800mm f/5.6 E FL ED VR. It’s a monster of price (18,000 USD list price, but slightly better at B&H or…
It’s hard to be sure of the details on this new lens from Sigma, since they announced that there is a delay (it will not be available this month – in March 2013). The only useful thing I would like to point to the significant items in the spec list: Dust-proof and splash-proof construction High…
While 2012 was relatively calm in terms of new tele-lenses (with the significant exceptions of the Pentax 500mm and the progressive availability of the new great whites from Canon), 2013 appears ready to become a year of big tele-lenses at nearly all the manufacturers: Nikon launches an 800mm f/5.6 which is becoming the biggest product…

It was impatiently expected in the circles of defenders of free software. Here is the version 2.8 of GIMP, the free photo-retouching software who wanted to be a competition for the mighty Photoshop. Sometimes, people will remember that GIMP is a program allowing to do digital photography on Linux. And, often, many people think that…
After the small problem of light leaks on the Canon 5D MkIII, Canon found a way to fix the DSLR cameras that their owners send back for service. This is very simple: a mere black scotch tape stuck under the top hood of the camera. Source: PetaPixel.
PDN found a problem with the Nikon D4 and D800 while testing these. It seems that there are situations where the camera will lock up when the camera is used with either Highlights or histogram display. Simply disabling these features will avoid this ugly lock-up (even if it is easy to restore normal operation by…
The excellent photo gallery named InFocus, organized by Alan Taylor for The Atlantic has a very thorough set of pictures taken from World War II. While we may have forgotten what photographers had to go through in order to bring pictures back from the war, we should not forget their sacrifice and the sacrifice of…
