By [NR] admin | Published: February 3, 2014

Lomography-Petzval-85mm-lens-review
Craig C. Houdeshell reviews the Lomography Petzval 85mm lens on Nikon cameras (the lens is no longer available on Kickstarter, but Lomography is already taking pre-orders on their website – the different versions can be found here): 

Discussion of the Petzval Lens 

The Petzval lens is a very old design going back to the beginning of photography. Petzval worked for Chevalier Lens Makers making lenses, improved upon and simplified the design. He eventually struck out on his own as a lens maker. Large format photographers seek out and treasure the original Petzval lens.

A quick glance. I look through the viewfinder, focus and press the shutter button. The fox jumps off – the only thing I see of him is a bushy tail, which quickly disappears in the undergrowth.

Photographing Cosplayers

Photographing cosplayers 5
“Photographing Cosplayers” is written by Jacob delaRosa (www.jnd-photography.com):

Hello! My name is Jacob delaRosa and I am a wedding, family and senior photographer who has been working on a personal project involving cosplayers for the past year. I really enjoy photographing the domestic side of things but I strongly believe it is important for photographers to do something for themselves in order to keep their creativity fresh and alive. Many of my photography friends are heavily involved in the cosplay photography scene and their work inspired me to start a this endeavor. However, when I began this project, I wanted to explore the world of cosplay in a way that had not been done before. I wanted to show the faces behind the costumes.

Living in the Arctic

Ian Robins is living in the Arctic. This is his story:

I would first like to introduce my self. I am from Cornwall where I spent the first 16 years of my life after which I left for military life. 17 years old I was in Germany where I stayed for 22 years 12 as a soldier and 10 as a truck driver. After living most of my life in big Germany cities I decided to get back to nature. That was my aim 7 years ago when I moved to north Norway to do something completely different. Since then I have been dunning a small “camp” with my Norwegian girl friend. Here we offer accommodation fishing, boat hire, photography course, kayaking courses and hire among other things.
