  • Animal Photos of the Week

    Did anyone see these two photos in the past few days? I love animal photos (there, I said it), but these two are really something. In a way they speak to man's relationship with nature. First, there's the Bengal tiger plunging into water with the fiercest of faces. Far from being really wild and fierce, though, this big cat is named Odin, and he lives at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom near San Francisco. He's diving for some dinner thrown to him by his trainer. It seems Odin has liked water since he was a cub, so he gets to do this kind of thing.

  • Tip of the Day: Clip it On

    Carabiners, clips with “wide-gate” openings, which come in various sizes, shapes, and prices, are popular with mountain climbers and hikers. Photographers can use them too. I use two sizes on my camera bag: the smaller one to quickly attach my cell phone case; the larger on for a lens pouch. Walking my dog, I attach a carabiner to my belt and snap my dog’s leash to it. This frees up my hands to snap a quick photo. You can find carabiners on the internet and in camping supply stores for $6-$10, but I paid just $1 each for a bunch at Home Depot. —Reader Tip From James Tallon, Phoenix, AZ

  • PHotoEspña Festival Notes: 6/1

    When I arrived at Teatro Circo Price this morning to see the winners of the Fondation HSBC por la Photographie award, I was already very familiar with one honoree. I had seen much of Julia Fullerton-Batten's work during the selection process for American Photo's 2007 Images of the Year Competition, in which she was awarded a prize for her editorial work. The images by Fullerton-Batten at the Teatro were from her personal projects, which rely heavily on her training as an editorial and commercial photographer, employing the lighting, makeup, and casting of that industry.

    Now, let me see, which magazine with the initials V.F. would love to publish a picture like that? By the way, the photo of Paris seen here is by David as well.—David Schonauer

    I've been waiting a long time to have a chance to mention Paris Hilton in the State of the Art blog.

  • Letter of the Week: Megapixel Madness

    TO: The Editor
    • By Popphoto Staff on June 1, 2007

    We answered this reader's megapixel question (Letters, May 2007). He wasn't very happy with our response:

    TO: The Editor

    Here I go wasting thirty-nine cents for a so-called “answer” to my question about megapixels-if you don’t know-say so- and stop being a smart a**. Whatever happened to the intelligent people that used to write for your magazine? It’s a shame that the dot com nerds seem to have taken control of the magazine.

  • Friday Photo Quiz

    (There are, of course, more than four writer/photographers, but I'm in a good mood because it's Friday, and all I'm looking for is four names. The first person who responds with that number will be declared today's winner.)—David Schonauer

  • Giving Film Another Chance

    Sure, you can knock the color off or set your camera to B do you really like wading through all of your digital files looking for the “good” ones? Shoot less and make them worth it.
    • By Popphoto Staff on June 1, 2007

    Shooting digital because you got sick of wasting film? Think about dusting off the 35mm gear you haven’t sold and grab some new film. If you’ve been shooting as much as I have in the last 4 years (around 250,000 frames) then your eye will have improved tremendously. You’ll waste less film and have more options.

  • Tip of the Day: Tie it Down

    When out photographing flora, the best shooting angles are sometimes blocked by branches or leaves. I always bring twist ties and use them to move any offending elements out of the field of view. They’re simple, effective, and cheap. —Reader Tip From Grayce Pedulla Dillon, Fort Pierce, FL
