Instagram Beta Launched for Windows 10 Mobile

Instagram is known as a place where people use photos to flaunt their lifestyles, both real and fake. 50 Cent may be one of the biggest names to do so on the "fake" side: he claims he's broke and that he takes photos of fake money for marketing reasons.

Here's Instagram's latest celebrity: Juji the giant dog. His owner Chris Cline is making waves by using Photoshop to turn him into a giant fluffy best friend.

Here's a 3-minute video that explores why you almost never see portraits of smiling people from the early days of photography.

This week, Flickr announced that they are taking away one of the key "free" functions: the ability to auto upload photos from your computer directly to Flickr. Now you need to sign up for a "pro" account for access to the same function.

Imagine seeing a photograph of a baby zebra sleeping peacefully atop the head of an adult tiger. Sounds crazy, right? Now imagine that same crazy image winning grand prizes in prestigiou s photography competitions.

If you were into photography in the early days of digital cameras, you probably remember the "revolutionary" Sony Mavica line, which used 3.5-inch floppy disks as 1.44MB "memory cards".

Today's flash market offers a wide variety of options for anyone looking to dip a toe in the off-camera flash pool. While there are plenty of things to consider while shopping for a speedlight, one factor that doesn't always receive the most attention is build quality.

In February 2016, Fujifilm announced the end of its last peel-apart instant film, FP-100C. Now there's a growing effort to keep the film alive, and Impossible Project founder Florian Kaps is trying to help.

iOS and Android smartphones aren't the only devices in the world of Instagram anymore. Today Instagram finally launched its beta app for Windows 10 Mobile smartphones, expanding its reach in mobile photo sharing.

What would you endure for the perfect shot? For Australian photographer Joshua Holko, the answer is "freezing blasts from a winter storm in the arctic." That's what he went through to capture incredible photos of the Arctic fox.

Sony are back with the sequel to 2012s surprise hits, the RX1 and RX1R. The new RX1R II still packs a full frame sensor into a barely-larger-than-a-compact body, but this time it's the same sensor from their spectacular A7R II.

Here's a fascinating video about how photographer Michael Paul Smith creates and photographs Elgin Park, a 20th century town created through miniature 1/24th-scale models. Smith creates incredibly realistic photos by capturing the detailed dioramas with an ordinary compact camera, and his images have gone viral in recent years on the Internet (the project has over 70 million views on Flickr).

The US and EU both have regulations that prevent you from flying your drone above ~500 feet. Someone in the Netherlands decided to ignore the law and fly their camera to 11,000 feet.

My name is Chris McCann, and I'm a photographer based in San Francisco. In this post, I'm sharing a list of photography videos I've found that have been helpful to me.

Okay, so the title was a little click-baity... but it's true. Posting to social media outlets where family members and friends can all admire your work can stifle your creativity and prevent you from getting truly constructive feedback that you can develop from.

If you're looking for videos to watch to quench your thirst for photography, YouTube has a great selection. If you've never really poked around before, we've put together a list of 13 channels you should follow.

Want to remove noise in a high ISO photo while preserving the details and textures in your shot? Here's a simple photography and Photoshop technique that lets you easily do that.

The band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros just released this music video for their new single "No Love Like Yours." Here's what's neat about it : it was created by actress Olivia Wilde using just the iPhone 6S Plus.

Here's a common complaint: "Why is wedding photography so expensive?" One of the most common complaints about wedding photography is that it's too expensive. I've seen this sentiment uttered from all corners of the Web. I've also seen just as many photographers jump at the opportunity to defend their prices by writing articles that only an accountant could appreciate.

Could your smartphone camera one day be turned on and used by the government for surveillance? That's what Apple is warning the public about as it continues to battle the FBI in court.
