Travel photography can be quite tricky without the right equipment, and that’s where the Benro Theta comes in. It’s touted as the world’s first auto-leveling tripod with built-in smart features, which means you won’t have to constantly adjust a level or the ball head. Simply press a single button, and let Theta do the rest.
A first person view of a waterfall can be exhilarating, while this amazing footage of a reverse waterfall in Utah is just plain rare. This scene was captured by photographer RJ Hooper in Kayenta, which is located approximately 30 miles south of Monument Valley. A reverse waterfall typically occurs when water is blown upwards due to strong winds, giving it the appearance of flowing upwards.

Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy attempted to capture the ‘green comet’, also known as Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), last week, and the result was a stunning image worthy of printing. Since the comet is not as bright as Neowise or Leonard, it could not be seen with the naked eye, but all it took was a single 60” exposure to reveal the bright glowing comae and its long dust tail.
These Canon DSLR Transformers may be fund to play around with, while this new Canon 12.6MP CMOS sensor could be a game changer for security camera systems. In addition to having an industry-leading1 dynamic range of 148 decibels (dB), this sensor has the ability to divide a single image into 736 areas and automatically determine the best exposure settings for each one.
You’ve heard JWST images turned into sound, now check out an image of the Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, created with NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory data and an infrared image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The X-rays appear as royal blue and purple, revealing gas that has been heated to millions of degrees by shock waves, similar to sonic booms, generated by the winds from massive stars.
It’s official, the Samsung ISOCELL HP2 has just been launched, and this new 200-megapixel sensor with improved pixel technology is designed for premium flagship smartphones. This sensor sports 200-million 0.6-micrometer (μm) pixels in a 1/1.3” optical format, a size typically found in 108MP main smartphone cameras.

After seeing this Pokemon GO 3D digital billboard, some have wondered how Tokyo would look without any visual pollution, and design firm NeoMam partnered with HouseFresh to show us. One of the most trafficked areas of Tokyo would be Shibuya Crossing, which has 2,500 or more pedestrians scrambling across at any time. The first thing that most notice here are the three large TV screens mounted on nearby buildings that overlook the crossing, so it would be quite strange to see them gone.
The Osmo Mobile 6 is designed for smartphones, while the all-new DJI RS 3 Mini stabilizer is compatible with DSLR and full-frame mirrorless cameras. Weighing in at just under 1.8-pounds, it could be the lightest pro-level gimbal yet and can carry a weight of up to 2-pounds. Featuring Bluetooth shutter control, a third-generation stabilization algorithm, native horizontal / vertical camera mounting, and a 1.4-inch color touchscreen.
Priced at just $25, the all-new Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 not only has autofocus capabilities, but now sports a back-illuminated Sony IMX708 sensor, which offers higher resolution (12MP), more sensitive pixel design as well as a larger support for high-dynamic-range imaging. The higher horizontal resolution of the IMX708 sensor implies an ability to image finer details, while the 16:9 aspect ratio allows users to capture HD video, thus making use of the entire sensor area.
Lincoln Laboratory’s TerraByte Infrared Delivery System will beam data at 100Gbps, while the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s NOAA-21 satellite uses its Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) to capture global visible and infrared observations of land, ocean, as well as atmosphere parameters at high temporal resolution. It began collecting data on December 5th as it passed over the East Coast of the United States and transmitted the first images of Earth.
