  • The Rising City

    A new book and exhibition about New York shows how photography's fascinating artifacts can come from prosaic beginnings. New York Rises: Photographs by Eugene de Salignac is a new photo volume from Aperture (click here for details), and the Museum of the City of New York will show an exhibition of the same title from May 4 through September 4 (visit this page). The historic photographs in the book and show are culled from tens of thousands of images that de Salignac made of the Big Apple between 1906 and 1934, when the city was in a tremendous growth spurt.

  • Look Ma, No Photoshop

    The moral of the story: don’t feel bad, ladies, if you don’t look this good without makeup—you probably don’t walk around overexposed and slightly blurry. After the jump, we deconstruct a few of the most egregious cases.

  • Tip of the Day: Go With the Flow

    Turn a waterfall or flowing brook into a mysteriously smooth smear. Use a tripod, manual exposure, and the slowest permissible shutter speed (1/4 sec or slower). The water’s movement will become a blur but the rest of the image will be sharp and clear.—Jon Sienkiewicz

    Shauna Frischkorn an associate professor of art at Pennsylvania's Millersville University has captured a series of young men in blackness, faces illuminated, with expressions of horror, excitement, awe, and captivation in her photo essay. What extreme circumstances did she put them under? None– they were all playing video games. An unexpected subject matter with surprisingly intense results.

    As posts piled up last week, I thought it might be a good idea to give you the highlights in case you missed anything. It would especially be a shame to miss our most recent guest blog with photographer/blogger Martin Fuchs about American Photo's "Heroes" issue, and our complete coverage of last week's New York photo auctions. Links on second page.

  • Tip of the Day: Keep Moving

    The technique of panning adds drama to images of moving subjects, such as racehorses and Indy cars. It’s easy, but gorgeous results require practice. Set a shutter speed that’s not fast enough to stop the motion. Keep the subject in one spot in the viewfinder and follow the subject’s movement the same way would if you were using a camcorder. The correct result is a more-or-less motionless subject surrounded by a streaked background. —Jon Sienkiewicz
