    …and make-up. This video of a model’s transformation from average woman to billboard in 60 seconds has been making the rounds on the internet for a while now, but in light of our recent post about in-camera tricks to used make women look more beautiful, we thought it appropriate to take a look at what even more trickery can produce.

  • Photo Feud

    The uploading and naming process for photos is a bit tedious, but the prizes (a trip to Mexico and a trip to London) are worth it and the concept is interesting.—Kathleen Davis

    Travel site IgoUgo has a different kind of photo contest going on right now: it’s a “photo feud.” Between now and May 31 you can upload 10 travel photos a day, then from June 1 through 15 your photos (and everyone else’s) “feud” against each other one at a time: two photos pop up and users vote for one, then another one replaces that one and users vote for their favorite of those two, the photo with the most votes at the end, wins (similar to the likebetter.com co

  • Deadline Approaching for the Howard Chapnick Grant

    Just a reminder that the deadline for the Howard Chapnick Grant is July 15. The $5,000 grant is unusual in that it is not intended to support the creation of pictures, but instead to support ancillary fields of photojournalism, such as editing, research, and education. You can download applications from the link here.—David Schonauer

  • Tip of the Day: Get Real Close

    Despite the title, DIY Photography’s Complete Guide to Children Photography claims that there is no such complete guide. However, they’ve managed to put together a bunch of tips to help you shoot little children. My favorite tip – one that I know works well – “Get real close.” You can take pictures of just their hands or you can make their face fill practically the whole frame. By getting really close to your subject, you can capture little details that might get lost in a wider shot.—Luis Cruzphoto by Luis Cruz

  • Tip of the Day: Remote Remotely

    Want to use your remote shutter release from just about any angle instead of just directly in front of your camera? Use a makeup mirror as a reflector. Position the mirror at an angle so that the remote transmitter’s diode beam is reflected off the mirror’s surface back to the camera’s remote control sensor. The working distance of the reflected beam depends mostly on your camera. — Reader Tip From Donald Krone, Sawyer, MI

  • This Just In: Ricoh Caplio R6 and Caplio GX100

    When a box arrives in the Pop Photo lab we always glance at the return label to see which company it came from. When we saw the label was marked they are simple, reliable and make you feel safe. That's because for many of us, a Ricoh SLR was our first real camera.
