Your one stop shop for everything photo-video
Communication can be difficult when working on a set with multiple people all over the place. You often resort to yelling or using loud and annoying walkie-talkies. And neither of those are great if you’re shooting a live event.
What’s the alternative? Well, a headset, of course. While DIYP was at IBC 2023 earlier this month, we stopped by the Saramonic booth to have a chat with them about the new Saramonic WiTalk (buy here) headset ecosystem.
Around this time in 2021, Meta teamed up with Ray-Ban to announce Snapchat Spectacles-wannabe. Not surprisingly, Meta’s smart glasses weren’t as popular as the company had hoped, especially after privacy concerns started to pop up.
Still, it seems that Meta isn’t giving up as easily. During this year’s Meta Connect conference, the company announced new and improved camera glasses. And again, they come in several recognizable Ray-Ban shapes.
Step aside Photo Pills, there’s a new photography app in town. Cascable’s new app, Photo Scout, claims to change the game for photographers. Instead of constantly checking the weather, this app does the work for you by sending a notification when conditions are just right for a great photo.
Photo Scout uses clever technology to consider things like wind, sun and moon positions, moon phases, and weather conditions. When everything lines up perfectly, it sends you a quick alert. Plus, it has handy widgets, so you can keep an eye on these details right from your iPhone’s home screen.
The Royal Observatory Greenwich Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition has become an annual staple in the lives of many photographers. We all want to see what new views of the universe we’re going to be presented with.
But just as interesting to photographers is the gear used to create it. Fortunately, we’ve got Skies and Scopes here again to give us the rundown. They went through all 828 shortlisted images to see how they were made.
After almost two years in beta, Adobe has officially released Photoshop on the web. This is a simplified and accessible version of the photo editing software, but apparently, it’s not that simplified. Considering that Generative Fill also got out of beta in the meantime, it has become a part of Photoshop for the web, too.
The iconic Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland, UK, was found felled earlier today. The tree was known affectionately as “Robin Hood’s Tree” and celebrated as one of the UK’s most photographed trees.
Authorities suspect that the tree was deliberately cut down overnight and police have launched an investigation into the incident. The local community and the nation mourn the loss of this beloved natural landmark which held a prominent place in the landscape.
Pattern Recognition Company (PRC) has launched the latest iteration of its photo-management program, Excire Foto 2024. Among other features, it lets AI evaluate your photos – and that’s the feature we’ll talk about the most. But of course, we’ll get you acquainted with other features, too, as some of them could be quite useful.
Have you ever wanted to relocate to San Francisco? Well, if so, you might want to snap up the former home of famous landscape photographer Ansel Adams. And from the photos, it would be quite a beautiful place to live.
Of course, it’s on sale for an asking price of a cool $5,450,000. For a four-bedroom house complete with an artist’s studio and views of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, that seems like a bargain. I’ll take two, please!
