Other versions of the Hasselblad Lunar are also...

Ever had a feeling somebody was watching you? If you were in Solna, Sweden recently, you may not have just been channeling 1980s one-hit wonder Rockwell. It's possible you were part of a quirky guerilla art project by Swedish photographer and retouching artist Erik Johansson, in cooperation with Adobe. (But in true Candid Camera fashion...

Today at Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC), the company unveiled a huge amount of overhauled hardware and software. While new versions of Mac OS X, iOS 7, MacBook Air, and the Mac Pro were big news for Apple fans, beyond the massive cosmetic changes, which of these new...

 

 

It's hard to imagine a more painstaking process than making a stop-motion movie, especially if you're doing it with analog film and not digital.

The Canon SX280, announced last March, has only been shipping for a couple...

 

 

We've written about cameras made of cardboard before but Etsy and Ikea have nothing on the elaborate and beautiful creations by Los Angeles-based painter and sculptor Kiel Johnson. Johnson's cardboard cameras, which include intricate recreations of SLRs, point-and-shoots, rangefinders, Polaroids, twin-lens reflex...

Until now, life for owners of Canon's first compact system camera, the EOS M mirrorless, has been uncomplicated -- or depending on your point of view, perhaps limited. Almost a year after the EOS M first launched, the system has but two native lens options: an 18-55mm zoom lens, and a 22mm prime whose focal length is already covered by...

 

 

Ever since the $15,000 MoVI stabilization rig was announced, we've been intrigued by how incredibly smooth videos taken with it are. But with that big pricetag, it's still out of reach of many indie videographers. Filmmaker Tom Antos has assembled his own version for around $500, and while it's not quite as good as...

 

 

One of the great things about mirrorless cameras is that with an adapter, you can shoot with just about any lens in existence — and sometimes, this gets taken to ludicrious extremes.

The immediacy of your digital camera is great, but do you ever find yourself pining for the look of your film photos? Trying different film and processing types was half the fun, and once you'd found a combination you liked, replicating the effect was simple. It's precisely that experience which French software company DxO Labs aims to...

Three weeks ago, the Raspberry Pi Foundation released an inexpensive five-megapixel camera module for its eponymous credit-card sized computer board, which is designed not only to be compact and affordable, but also to be very easy to hack into your own projects.

Swiss photographer Sebastian Magnani isn't exactly sure where the idea for his wonderful "Underdogs" series came from but it may have been divine inspiration.

"It was the flash of an idea, like the beginning of the universe," he told us about his anthropomorphic portraits, which combine dogs and their owners...

 

 

Cuban photographer Alberto Korda's photo of Che Guevara has been emblazoned on posters, t-shirts, diapers, playing cards and almost everything imaginable. Today, the Che image is well over 50 years old and is still as popular and as marketable as ever.

What is it about cameras that seems to inspire animated whimsy? Last year, we shared this cute, animated video by Antonio Vicentini showing the evolution of the modern camera.

If you're shooting in a very quiet environment, or trying to be as surreptitious as possible for a candid shot, the click of an SLR shutter can be as loud as a gunshot. So what do you do?
