NyghtVision Magazine, Volume 10 #4 Released. Hard to believe another year is coming to an end, but it is.... With the end of the year, we will be closing the book on Volume 10 of NyghtVision Magazine. In this edition, we featured Igor Amelkovich who is from Russia and formerly part of the Russian army. He is an award winning photographer whose
Sometimes you look at a new product and you just have to wonder why the hell someone didn't think about this before. When Jeff Karp told me about the new RevoRing from H&Y, that was exactly my reaction. Look at it this way: I have been professional photographer for the better part of 17 years, now, and, if I had to pick a problem that
Without a doubt, it is one of the most complex aspects of learning photography - moving from auto exposure to totally working in manual. I can't speak for JD Milazzo, but I can say that I never - NEVER - wanted to work in manual. I was convinced that working in manual would get in the way of connecting emotionally to whatever I was
If you have been following our journey - a journey which began about a year and a half now - it started with the purchase of a single vintage Pentax 6x7 lens. That experience was so revolutionary for Falcon that, for his fine art work, he only uses vintage lenses. In November of 2019, he purchased a vintage Pentax 6x7 film camera, and, shortly
In the Fall of 2018, Falcon purchased a vintage Pentax 67 55-100 MM lens. It has proven to be both a deep part of his creative rebirth and yet also a source of great difficulty. In May of this year, Falcon began thinking about learning about film. His interest began when an old friend gave him a Minolta Xg3 from around 1992. This video
Except from NyghtVision Magazine, Volume 9 #2: Product review of PortraitPro from Anthropics. Read Volume 9 #2 here. To be honest, sometimes I think that applications are updated simply for the sake of updating them because updating generates more revenue. So, whenever I am assigned the task of evaluating software, I am always a bit skeptical about the value of doing so. Most of the
"So, tell me again," he said, "exactly what do you do?" You would think that as many times as I am asked what I'd do, I'd have a definitive answer. I do. More or less. Or, well, never mind. Yes, well, there should be world peace too and no child should ever go to bed hungry. But the world - life - isn't just. And
So, as hard to believe as it is, this is 2018. NyghtVision Magazine is entering it's eighth year of publication. Amazing. When I look back at our first few years, NyghtVision has grown immensely. We started out using Photoshop to layout the magazine, and that eventually gave way to InDesign. That change, in turn, prompted exponential growth. Thee design was the only change. The original
Remembering Honduras Not long after being on assignment in Roatan, JD Milazzo and I returned to Honduras. This time, to Trujillo. While the trip to Roatan went off without so much as a thread out of place, the trip to Trujillo was one unpredictable moment after another. Before it was over, I would crack my ribs as a result of a fall near a
MOTHER NATURE WANTS TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED So, now that I have your attention.... Let's think about this for a minute. It's spring here now, and the other day, as I returned to the studio from an appointment with a client, I noticed that I had almost missed the blooming of the dogwood. I'd spent too many years during my career in the
