Sony HX90V First Shots posted: pixel-peep the perfectly pocketable, EVF-sporting 30x travel zoom

 

 

More goodies straight from the IR Lab! This time around, it's First Shots from the brand new Sony HX90V pocketable travel zoom camera. If you love the aesthetic and size of the compact Sony RX100 III, but perhaps want a bit more zoom reach than what that larger-sensored compact camera offers, you might want to consider the Sony HX90V. Offering a very versatile 24-720mm eq. focal length range, the HX90V lets you shoot wide landscapes and far-off subjects all with a camera that slips in your pocket.

However, what you gain in zoom,…

Destination wedding photographer Pete Leong stepped away from his normal subject matter for a slightly more explosive one. As a personal project, Leong had the rare opportunity to shoot a military EOD team in full garb, complete with bomb suit, robots and more.

In the six minute behind-the-scenes video, we get to follow along with Leong as he captures these military men and women in action. The video is filled with plenty of EOD gear, bomb-defusing robots and, of course, some explosions.

It’s a great look into what had to be a shoot of a lifetime. Press…

Hasselblad announces new lineup of medium format aerial cameras

Hasselblad has announced a new lineup of medium format aerial cameras called the A5D. Sleek and simple in design, these cameras are designed for commercial and industrial applications, packing quite a punch in a small package.

Merlin: Instant, intelligent bird photo recognition in the palm of your hand

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Visipedia have collaborated to develop Merlin, a machine-learning program that helps to identify various species of birds in a photograph, both at home and in the field.

Merlin, available both online and as a native apps for both iOS and Android, is designed for amateur and intermediate bird photographers, who will inevitably come across the question, ‘What bird is this?’ at some point in their career.

Since Merlin differs in the browser from its mobile app, I’ll break down the two different implementations of the same…
