| The Curse of the Wedding Photography Wrecker (Video) Posted: 07 Oct 2013 03:00 PM PDT Wedding photography wreckers. You’ve seen them. You might even be one of them. They’re the guests at weddings who spend the whole ceremony and reception moving about snapping pictures of the happy couple with anything from cell phones to point-and-shoots to Go Pros to iPads to DSLRs, meanwhile obstructing the professional photographer’s view. And they’re the subject of this KTXL FOX40 “Don’t Be That Guy” segment: The job of a wedding photographer or videographer has never been easy. And it’s not getting any easier. In a society where everyone wants to share life as it happens on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media outlets, you can’t go anywhere–especially a wedding–without seeing a sea of phones and cameras held in front of peoples’ faces. Photographers must contend with stray flashes that wash out their shots, guests jumping in front of them during the first kiss, and iPhones creeping into every frame.
Wedding photographers have to go to extremes to ensure that they can get the photographs their clients have paid for without well-intentioned guests ruining their shots. It’s becoming more and more routine for photographers to write a “no camera” policy into their contracts. Many photographers are asking couples to instruct their guests to please enjoy the festivities and let the professional photographer document the day.
Have you unknowingly committed this wedding day taboo? Or are you a hired wedding photographer who’s been frustrated by this social pet peeve? Perhaps the “unplugged” wedding–at which no cameras or phones are permitted–is a trend we can all agree upon.

| Interesting Photo of the Day: Taking the Camera for a Night on the Town Posted: 07 Oct 2013 02:57 PM PDT Who says you can’t drive AND take photos at the same time? These two clever photographers came up with the idea of setting a camera up on a tripod in the back of their Mini Cooper to capture an image of them cruising downtown at night. Of course, you don’t need a Mini to try this yourself, however, the convertible does allow for a lot more to be captured:  (Via Imgur, click to view full size) If you want to re-create a shot like this for yourself, make sure you have a sturdy tripod that’s securely fastened to your car. The last thing you want to do is look back to find your camera lying on the road in pieces. Also remember to use a slow shutter speed if you’re going for the blurred effect like in this photo. The slower the shutter speed, the more blur you’ll get. Go to full article: Interesting Photo of the Day: Taking the Camera for a Night on the Town |
| Night Sky Timelapse Photography of the Mauna Kea Observatory (With Lasers) Posted: 07 Oct 2013 11:48 AM PDT In Hawaii, there exists one of the best astronomy observatories in the Northern Hemisphere. At 14,000 feet atop Mauna Kea sits several huge telescopes (about 33 feet wide!) and many other astronomy oriented equipment. Sean Goebel, a graduate student at the university of Hawaii, has spent a good deal of time inside (and outside) these incredible facilities. Hiking around in the freezing cold, acclimating to the altitude, and running on only a few hours of sleep, Goebel went above and beyond to film this incredible timelapse: Goebel shot his timelapse with a Canon 5D Mk II and Rebel XT. The major lenses he used to film were a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4, a Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8, and a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. He also used a home-build rotary table to incorporate camera movements. Things to Consider When Planning a Night Sky Timelapse:
 Mauna Kea sits 14,000 feet above sea level And to answer your first question after watching this video, yes, the lasers are real. They are used for adaptive optics and monitor atmospheric turbulence. This information is sent to a mirror in the telescope that moves hundreds of times a second to cancel out the blurring.
