A recent report shows that Facebook holds 4% of all pictures ever taken. To be more specific, Facebook hosts140 billion pictures out of the 3.5 trillion taken in history. When you consider the timeline of photography, it really hasn’t become widely accessible to the public until a few decades ago. In the early 1900s, photography more »

Facebook is reportedly working on a rival to the popular photo editing and sharing application Instagram. Instead of creating an entirely different application like it did with Facebook Messenger, Facebook will instead incorporate different filters into its main mobile application.

Pentax has a new toy in their K line and it’s worth a second look. It’s the Pentax K-7. Compact, rugged, with a whole new body design, the 14.6 megapixel DSLR may be all new and improved, but it still works with every Pentax lens out there.

Pentax is designing this one with an obvious push towards serious photographers who know their way around a camera, but don’t want to necessarily pay the uber-high end ticket price of a professional DSLR system.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the show that never ends. Segway and GM team up to create a new type of vehicle. Trouble with Google Street View on two fronts. First off, Google ignores basic physics and meets a bridge. Second, the driver of a Google Street View car (you know, the one that takes all the pictures for Street View) gets mad because someone takes a picture of him. He screamed “You are stealing my soul!” Okay, he didn’t say that, but he wasn’t happy.

But, if you are looking to have your work seen and critiqued by other photographers, you may want to look into some other sites as well.

It is without question these men know their stuff. Who better to learn from than masters of the craft?

Photographers have been messing around with 3D photography for years. It just hasn’t been a nice and easy, already developed for them, consumer-friendly, point and shoot 3D camera they were using to take the photos. Some photographers were rigging up their own cameras to get the effect, some doing it in post-processing. Some, used much less user-friendly four lens cameras that did exist out there, just not with the best picture quality.

Fujifilm is hoping to remedy all of that with their development of their 3D camera. The way it accomplishes the 3D effect is to use two lenses and two sensors. The lenses are about 6 to 7-cm apart, which is the width between the average person’s eyes. These lenses and sensors take different pictures from different angles simultaneously. Then, it combines the different pictures to create one image that is displayed on the camera’s 2.8-inch, 230,000 pixel LCD screen.
