With everything that goes into capturing aerial footage—type of drone, camera setup, lens configuration, etc.—it’s easy to overlook one of the simplest but most crucial components of the recording process: storage.

As photographers, we tend to monitor weather conditions before deciding whether to shoot outdoors on any given day. After investing thousands of dollars in a camera and lenses, we are determined to protect our gear at all costs. But if you truly think that rain or snow is an obstacle to getting outdoors and building that portfolio, you’d better think again!

Despite our increasingly digitized culture, interest in analog processes is still on the rise. At a time when most of what surrounds us are ephemeral computations of zeros and ones, there is an indisputable appeal to photographs shot on black-and-white analog film.
For photojournalist Peter DaSilva, this appeal is rooted in having something tangible, “having an archive that’s not going to evaporate because the medium has changed or due to the incompatibility of files and systems.”
His distinctive style of run-and-gun street photography is

Photographers packing for holiday travel often spend more time selecting photo gear than clothing and related personal items. Considering all the variables that go into packing the perfect photo bag or pack, this is quite understandable. One method that works for me is laying out on a table all the gear I’d like to bring, and whittling it down to a manageable amount based on what I expect to photograph. Ideally, I’ll have a home base to store whatever gear isn’t needed on a particular outing. Traveling light and comfortably cannot be overrated

LED lighting systems have only improved over the years and, as a result, they are being incorporated into a wide variety of lighting systems designed for shooting stills and video.
As small, lightweight, and portable light systems go, the new Rosco 8 x 8" LitePad Vector CCT LED Light goes a long way. Measuring 9.70 x 12.50 x 2.82" (246 x 318 x 72mm), including its yoke and receiver, Rosco’s Vector CCT LED lamp head outputs a color

For years, photographers have prized the protective qualities of Pelican cases. Watertight, dustproof, crushproof, these finely crafted and attractive cases set the standard by which many other cases were measured. Some of the features that made Pelican cases indispensable are the ABS double-throw latches, watertight O-ring gasket, built-in purge valve, stainless-steel hasp protectors, over-molded handles, and the ability to survive the rigors of airline travel. And to ensure that there

Professional photographic gear and other electronic equipment are expensive and often equally delicate. But you already knew that. Handing off your gear to someone else—taxi drivers, airport baggage handlers, overnight couriers, and the like—the only thing safeguarding your gear is the case you use to transport it. If you have anything worth protecting, you should do it the way the pros do—with Pelican hard cases.
“Because the cases are waterproof and airtight, they can float—with a certain amount of weight inside.”

The vast open expanse of our country has inarguably bred a culture that craves the open road. From our first expansion west over the Appalachians, to breaking out across the plains and prairies, then the final push over the Rockies, we yearn for the wind in our faces that harks back to galloping on a trusted steed over a boundless sea of grass. That’s our culture—our heritage—and our mythology.
For many of us, from New York to Los Angeles, we end up sitting in traffic trying to avoid texting jerks drifting into our lanes, potholes, or

I went to my first NFL game when I was about 14 years old—and I went with a group of fairly affluent people who were also raging superfans. We drove to the game in a purpose-bought touring van with a custom interior, complete with a team-matched color scheme, a refrigerator, card table with six swiveling captain’s chairs, a hot plate, and microwave. As a naïve kid who wasn’t that much into football, I figured going to the game like that was the exception rather than the rule. Then we got to the parking lot and, boy, was I wrong.

It is 2015 and, still, a staggering 90-95% of the Earth’s oceans remain unexplored. This seems unbelievable, given the incredible advancements we’ve seen in technology over the years, and the fact that we’ve even explored the Moon and planets in some detail. Indeed, it has been said that we know more about the surface of the Moon or Mars than about the ocean floor. How is it that the vast majority of the ocean, which makes up 70% of our own planet, is as yet undiscovered? It speaks to the sheer vastness and depth of the underwater realm. It

Having light, literally, at our fingertips in the modern world has made it so ubiquitous that when preparing and packing for a camping trip, it’s often one the most-often overlooked things.
Typically, most camping newbies grab that plastic convenience-store flashlight that lives in the kitchen junk drawer. And the batteries haven’t been changed since that last big storm when the power went out and the batteries were dead. They’ll flick it on, shake it a couple times and after it sputters to life they consider “Camp Light” checked off their

Maybe your shtick is classic street photography. Maybe you photograph events and weddings in your town. Maybe you make architectural photographs of office buildings and homes. Regardless of where your urban photographic outings take you, there is a lot of outdoor adventure gear that can make your experience more fun and comfortable. After all, isn't there a reason they call it the "Urban Jungle?"
