How to take great photos with your iPhone (via @Photocritic)

Photocritic.org . Back when I was doing my Top 100 amazing iPhone photographs, a few photographers’ names kept returning again and again - one of them was the amazing Sion Fullana, whose Flickr photography stream is full of absolutely fantastic street photography; mostly in New York, all taken by iPhone. After gawping at his photos in incomprehension, I just had to ask him if I could interview him about his technique, and see if I could get some tricks of the trade out of him - luckily, Sion was happy to oblige. So, if you have an iPhone and want to learn how to put its camera to good use, or if you just want to find out how you can take incredibly moving photographs even with inferior equipment, you’re in for a proper treat...

Bigpicture.com: Easter 2009

Yesterday was Easter, the celebration by Western Christians of the
resurrection of Jesus Christ, 3 days after his crucifixion (Eastern
Christian observers will celebrate Easter on April 19th). The
religious observation of Easter also shares the day with many
traditional secular springtime celebrations, including bonfires, egg
hunts, bunnies and gifts of chocolate. As a day for quiet reflection,
prayer, charitable acts and festive gatherings, here are some views of
Easter across the globe this year.

Why should photographers use Twitter?

This might be remedial or old news to anyone who has read my past thoughts about the photography business or is familiar with Twitter, but bear with me. Consider this an incomplete Twitter 101 for photographers; drop me a line if you’re interested in learning more... I’m starting to see more photographers get on Twitter every single day, and it’s fun to see. But I think we’re all still trying to figure out how to use it.

David duChemin (@pixelatedimage) has a spot-on post today Playing in Traffic; while we often think “more traffic is good”, it’s simply not the case.

The real question is “Why”; your individual, specific answer to “Why” should frame all of your online activities.

Review: Tokina AT-X Pro 12-24mm F4

The Tokina AT-X Pro SD 12-24mm F4 (IF) DX is a member of an original triumvirate of third party wideangle zooms which were introduced just as affordable APS-C format DSLRs started to become mainstream products, along with the Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM and Tamron SP AF 11-18mm F4.5-5.6 Di-II LD Aspherical (IF). It first became available in 2004, and has since acquired a reputation as solid performer in its class.

Tokina's technical details for the lens are (typically for the company) somewhat sparse, but reveal an optical formula of 13 elements in 11 groups, which features 2 aspherical elements plus SD glass elements to combat aberrations. One other outstanding feature is a one-touch focus clutch mechanism, which allows the user to switch from auto to manual focus simply by pulling the focus ring towards the camera.
