Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
As Frank Brown was finishing his secondary education, he embarked on a tour of Europe to see the world in 1897 before he joined the Jesuits. Prior to leaving, his uncle Robert Browne, the Bishop of Cloyne, gave him his first camera and he was bitten by the photography bug.
Years later, his uncle also gifted him a ticket for a trip on the maiden voyage aboard the RMS Titanic that would forever change the impact of his photography on the world. [Read more…]
An Introduction to Camera Game: How to Seduce Women Through Photography is a real book that’s available on Amazon.com. Here’s the rather gross synopsis for this book: [Read more…]
This week’s new t-shirt is something for the video shooters. It features a retro 8mm camera simple design with #filmmaker as the only text. This is a premium fabric, which I recommend ordering a size larger than you normally would. You can find the #Filmmaker t-shirt here on Amazon.com.
For the photographers, we still have the 70-200mm f/2.8 Technical Drawing t-shirt, which is proving to be a hit. Also, the “I’m just here to take pictures” shirt is my personal favorite and is a pretty popular choice. Again, I like the dark heather gray color for both the look and feel.
I know people outside the US want to buy these shirts and I promise that option is coming. I really appreciate everyone’s interest and especially those of you who have reached out to me directly. I’m sorry I don’t have an option for you yet, but I’m working on that. Stay tuned.
This week’s new photography t-shirt showcases an optical formula for a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. The shirt is shown above in “heather gray,” which is my new favorite color for t-shirts.
As you can see in the Instagram photo below, I picked up the “I’m Just Here to Take Pictures” shirt in heather gray. The fabric blend for this color is just about perfect for my tastes. I like a soft, thin t-shirt and this style balances that flavor perfectly for me. [Read more…]
Check out our new “I’m Just Here to Take Pictures” t-shirt. It features rangefinder camera design and is 100% cotton.
This fabric will shrink a bit in the wash, so order a size up from what you normally would. You can order the “I’m Just Here to Take Pictures” t-shirt on Amazon.com now. It ships free for Prime members.
Check out our new #photographer t-shirt design that features a simple rangefinder camera icon.
This is the same premium fabric that is found in the previously released When Life Gets Blurry, Adjust Your Focus T-Shirt. It is softer and thinner than the standard tee we started with. It’s also a little more breathable, which is better for the summer months ahead.
The premium t-shirts run a little small, so I suggest ordering one-size up. I’m usually somewhere between a large and an extra-large depending on how many tacos I eat. So, I order an extra-large version of all the premium tees and those fit about right for me.
You can order the #photographer Retro Camera T-Shirt on Amazon.com now. If the dark neutral colors aren’t for you, there is also a more colorful #photographer option here.
Thanks for supporting Photography Bay.
(International readers: I’m working on some options for you guys to order these too. I’ve heard the emails and I really appreciate your interest. I have not forgotten you and I value your time visiting Photography Bay. Stay tuned for news on how to order these outside the US.)
In the second quarter of the football game today between Oklahoma and Kansas State, Oklahoma’s quarterback Trevor Knight threw a fade pass to the corner of the end zone. Receiver Sterling Shepard laid out for the reception and landed just outside the back corner of the end zone.
The problem for Shepard and one unfortunate photographer was that Shepard landed on top of a Canon telephoto lens. [Read more…]
While posing for a photo shoot in her wedding dress near a river in Montreal, a woman slipped and fell into water about 1-foot deep. The “wedding dress got soaked and became extremely heavy. She started slipping and falling down when the photographer grabbed her but she was too heavy that he couldn’t pull her from the edge,” according to Quebec provincial police Sgt. Ronald McInnis.

A recent status update on Nikon’s Facebook page stated that “A photographer is only as good as the equipment he uses.”
I can appreciate the marketing push for your products over competitors, but limiting a photographer’s skill to the equipment he uses is a pretty dumb thing to say. [Read more…]
Tigers 1 – Photographer 0
I’m thinking the mascot was trying to jump over the photographer here. Or, maybe he just lost him in his peripheral vision due to the costume. Either way, that’s a tough way to be taken out of the game. [Read more…]
