to help us take better pictures. The accessory
may be in a supporting sense, or one piece of

NEWS ROUND-UP
The week in brief, edited by Chris Cheesman
Holster aims at
DSLR owners
British Airways boss Willie Walsh has called for the implementation
of a drone register. He said: The Irish Aviation Authority has already
introduced a register. The news came as Transport secretary Patrick
McLoughlin revealed that the object suspected of colliding with a BA
plane on 17 April was not a drone.

Break the
portrait rules
There are a lot of rules when it comes to portrait
photography: focus on the eyes, be careful not to
crop parts of the head, use prime lenses such as
85mm. But if you always follow the rules your
portraits are going to look pretty generic and
predictable. A more varied and eclectic approach to
people photography is often more appropriate, as
humans come in all shapes, sizes and personality
types. David Bailey ruffled some feathers in 2014
when he used a wideangle lens to take a portrait of
the Queen in order to emphasise her wide smile,
and while the image is not to everyones taste, hats
off to him for trying something different. So why
dont you break the rules?

Looking back at a true
icon of Hollywoods
Golden Age
Had Marilyn Monroe lived,
1 June would have seen the
screen icon celebrate her 90th
birthday. In the years following her
death, Monroes legend has grown
to almost mythical proportions
and seen her established as a true
icon of the silver screen. Famous
for often playing the dumb
blonde, Monroe was in fact
possessed by a erce and
insatiable intellect, and did all she
could to take control of her public
and screen image following her
frustration at being typecast. In
this image,by photojournalist and
pioneering colour photographer
Ernst Haas, we see Monroe taking
a break between lming on The
Mists (1961). Although the lm
at the time was considered a
bomb at the box ofce, it has
gone on to receive a glowing
reappraisal among critics.

First Polaroid-format
camera in 20 years revealed
THE FIRST camera system for the
original Polaroid format in over
20 years has been launched by a rm,
which until now, made only lms for
discontinued Polaroid cameras.
The I-1 is a new instant photo
camera from the Impossible Project,
offering full manual control via a
dedicated app. Although the I-1 is
compatible with any 600-type lm,
it is designed to be used with
Impossibles new I-type lm, which,
unlike a Polaroid instant lm pack,
doesnt contain batteries. Instead,
the camera system is powered by
a USB-rechargeable battery.
Impossible Project CEO Oskar
Smolokowski said: We strongly
believe an instant camera is the only
compelling photography offering
beyond your phone. We wanted to
use the power of the smartphone
to make it even more capable and
allow users beginners and
enthusiasts to take their
photography to the next level.
Pierre Darnton, the rms
managing director for the UK and
Ireland, told AP that although the I-1

PHOTOGRAPHERS
accused of digitally

jaw to make her look

the photo only to resolve
wideangle lens distortion.
American actress and
singer Rumer Willis,
daughter of Bruce Willis
and Demi Moore, pleaded
with friends to remove any
online posts of the image,
taken for Vanity Fair,
although not published by
the magazine. The portrait,
showing the actress with
her sisters, appeared on
Rumers Instagram page.
The photographers Mark
Williams and Sara Hirakawa
defended the move, saying
the retouching was not
done to alter or modify
anyones face. They added:
We used a wideangle lens,
and it might have made
Rumers chin look smaller
from the higher angle that
we shot the image.

Positioning your
ND grad correctly
is essential for
achieving a
pleasing shot
A 0.9ND filter is
more suitable
here
Know your
density
THE DARKEST part of an ND grad varies
in exposure value (EV) between lters.
One with a lighter density might cut out
only 1EV of light, whereas the darkest
density grads can cut out as many as
4EVs of light. You dont want to use a
grad thats too strong for the scene,
which might result in the sky appearing
darker than youd like.
Selecting the correct lter can be
confusing, as manufacturers give
them different names. For example,
an ND4 is the same density as a
0.6ND both reduce the exposure
by 2 stops. The table (right) outlines
The unfiltered
shot here
doesnt lend
itself to a
hard grad
than a 0.3ND
option, which is
not as strong

Hard or soft?
After determining the density of lter
required, the next decision is whether to
use a hard or soft grad. Hard grads have a
sharp transition from clear to dark, and are
the most popular choice, as they allow the
point of transition to be set on the horizon,
where the sky is often at its brightest. Soft

Tripods
Weigh it down
Firm base
When youre setting up, make sure you
push the legs really rmly down into the
ground, to give you as solid a base as
possible from which to shoot.
If youre on the beach, its tricky to
maintain a solid foundation so try to nd
some rocks or stones on which to position
your tripod legs, or consider using
snowshoes to spread the load.
Get it level
While its not too much hassle to correct
wonky horizons in Photoshop, get it right
in-camera if you can. Some tripods have
built-in spirit levels (see left) to help with this,
or you can pop one on your hotshoe.
Monopods
EVEN with the best anti-shake
systems, a monopod can add an
extra level of stability to your set-up.

Flashguns
Flashguns (or speedlights/speedlites,
as manufacturers would have us call them)
can be an incredibly versatile piece of
camera kit, allowing us to control and
shape light, but we can sometimes be
guilty of not making the most of them.
With that in mind, lets take a look at a few
tricks that can transform flash images,
from hard, directly lit photos to high-end
shots with sculpted lighting.
Underexpose
ambient light
A striking technique to try with off-camera
flash is to purposely underexpose the ambient
light of the shot, while the flash is used to light
your subject and make it really stand out.
Youll need to manually meter, stopping
down the aperture by a couple of stops to
force the camera to underexpose, then boost
the power of the flash to compensate (youll
need to set the flash to manual, too).

Go off-camera
Liberating your flashgun from the hotshoe and
triggering it remotely is a great way to achieve
high-end images. You can trigger the flash with
a sync lead, via a (compatible) built-in flash on
your camera, or most peoples preferred
option via triggers.
Taking your flashgun (or flashguns for multiple
light set-ups) off the camera means youre
going to need a suitable light stand for
positioning your flash. Dedicated stands are
better than simply using a tripod on which
to mount your flashgun, and are relatively
inexpensive. Youll also probably need a bracket
to hold the flashgun in place, but if youre
shooting outside its a good idea to anchor
them in place to stop everything blowing over.

Sloan of
Thrones
aP and Nikon School Live offer you the chance to go
behind the scenes on Game of Thrones at an evening
with principal stills photographer Helen Sloan
ow does one become
a photographer on
the worlds biggest TV
show, and what does
the job entail? AP readers will get
the chance to find out the answers
to these and other questions on
Friday, 3 June, when we host an
evening with Game of Thrones
photographer Helen Sloan, in
association with Nikon School Live.
For the uninitiated, the TV series
Game of Thrones is based on the
epic fantasy novel series A Song of
Ice and Fire by George RR Martin.
Set in medieval times in the
fictional lands of Westeros and
Essos, it draws its inspiration from
a variety of historical figures and
events from the Wars of the Roses
to Nordic mythology and Genghis
Khan mixed with a smattering
of dragons and supernatural
creatures, to create a detailed and
immersive alternative history
filled with ruthless rulers and
Machiavellian scheming, in which
good does not always triumph.
Game of Thrones is an HBO production shown on Sky Atlantic on Monday evenings. Now on Series 6, previous
episodes are available as box sets and on Sky TVs catch-up service.

Lasting impressions
The letter from fvesix
in AP 23 April, about a
remembering when article,
sparked a chord with me. I nd
that some photos do stick in
the mind and leave a lasting
impression. These may not be
the best technically, and are a
useful reminder that in these
times of ever-developing
technology, it is the image that
counts and the impact it has. I
think it is worth pursuing
fvesixs idea.

A meter allows you not only to
determine the overall exposure

by instinct or precise control

the quality of the light and gauge
its intensity. Moreover, it allows
me to work out the ratios of
highlight to shadow. This

Moon at sunset Bec Wolf Nikon D610, 200mm, 6secs at f/9, ISO 800
THIS is a very pleasant scene of the low winter
moon against a sunset sky. I love the colours
Bec has recorded and the simple natural
skyline. I like that there is loads of detail in the
sky, and we have features in the clouds and
shades of blue along with the orange and red,
so nowhere is blank and everywhere is detailed.
Bec used an exposure of 6secs at f/9 and
ISO 800 with her Nikon D610 and a stop of
exposure compensation to darken the scene.
But I think that, subsequently, she has had to
brighten the image, since some areas display
more noise than we would expect.
The problem here is not so much the noise

accessories of
2016 so far
Pluto Trigger
85 www.plutotrigger.com
FOR SOME photographic subjects, triggering the shutter manually
just wont do for instance, when split-second timing is required
or if you want to run a long, complex time-lapse sequence. The
Pluto Trigger is an intriguing new accessory that aims to give a
huge range of remote-triggering options, both on its own and
when used with a smartphone.
The trigger unit connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth, and
to your camera using interchangeable cables that are available for
most brands; alternatively, it can work as an infrared release with
compatible cameras. Your phone can then be used much like a
conventional remote release, and can also be used to programme
such things as timelapse and HDR shooting. In addition, the phones
sensors can be used to trigger the shutter in response to such things
as sound, vibration or motion.
Whats more, the trigger unit itself has several built-in sensors,
including for sound, light, proximity and lightning; theres even a
laser trigger, with a tiny laser unit included in the box. From our
initial testing everything seems to work, making it a remarkable
product for the price.

ITS NOT often we see a tripod that tries to
do something genuinely different, but the
Cullmann NANOMAX 460M is one such
product. At rst sight its a conventional
aluminium-alloy model with foursection legs and a pan-and-tilt head.
Its trick is that the centre column can
be removed entirely, with the head
still attached, to form a monopod.
This is quicker and easier than
other tripods that need the
column and one leg removed,
then screwed together to
make a monopod.
The tripod offers a decent
maximum height of 168cm
A detachable
and weighs a manageable
centre column
1.72kg. Adjustable-angle

monopod
legs give a minimum
working height of 19cm,
although youll need to use the included short
centre column for this. The maximum load is
specied as 4kg, which should be sufcient for
most enthusiast DSLR and CSC set-ups.
Other features include rubber feet, which screw
back to reveal ground spikes, and quick-tooperate lever locks for the leg sections. Both the
tripod spider and the head also include bubble
levels to keep your horizons straight.

RDE VideoMicro
44 www.rode.com
AUSTRALIAN company RDE specialises in high-quality
microphones for video, and the aptly named VideoMicro is its latest
offering. It is a small, lightweight, on-camera microphone designed to
complement the latest generation of video-capable compact system
cameras and DSLRs. It comes in a comprehensive kit, complete with
an anti-vibration Rycote mount, which does a good job of isolating
the microphone from the cameras operational noises, and a furry
windshield for outdoor use. The coiled red lead uses standard
3.5mm audio jacks at each end.
The compact size is achieved partly because the microphone
has no battery, requiring plug-in power from the camera itself. The
VideoMicro is directional, meaning that it predominantly focuses on
sounds in front of the camera, and delivers mono sound with the
same output to the cameras left and right audio channels. Unlike
more expensive powered mics, it has no gain control or low-cut lter.
The VideoMicro is very nicely made, with a robust aluminium body
shell, and the sound quality is decent too. The fact that this all comes
at a relatively low price makes it a compelling option for
photographers also interested in making better videos.

THERES a huge range of messenger-type bags on the
market for carrying a laptop alongside your camera kit,
but Tenbas Cooper range stands out for its quality of
construction and array of thoughtful design touches.
Four models are available in different sizes. Our
favourites are the Cooper 13 Slim that can take a
CSC or compact DSLR with three or four lenses
alongside a 13in laptop, and the larger Cooper 15
that accepts a DSLR system plus a 15in laptop.
The Coopers are good-looking bags made of grey
canvas and leather, with removable, lightly padded camera
inserts. The lid closure uses special silent Velcro, and
theres a zipped opening at the top for quicker access
to your gear, with a secondary zipped security cover
beneath. Other neat features include a trolley strap at
the back, expanding side pockets, a weatherproof cover and
numerous internal pockets for such things as memory cards
and spare batteries. These are far from the cheapest bags on
the market, but theyre among the best weve seen.

POWER banks are useful for
keeping all your electronic
gizmos up and running
when youre away from
mains power for a while,
including smartphones,
tablets and an increasing
number of cameras. The
ZAGG Power Amp 18 is
a particularly impressive
example, packing a
substantial 18,00mAh
capacity, which should
fully charge a typical
smartphone around
six times, or a Sony Alpha 7
battery 10 times. It has three USB-charging outputs each capable of
delivering 2.4A, which allows fast charging of power-hungry devices.
The stand-out feature of the Power Amp 18 is that it doubles as a
light. It has both a bright LED torch and a more subtle lantern mode,
using a translucent strip around the device edge. A silicone strap and
metal loop can be used to organise your cables or hang the device up.
Build quality is great, with a chunky aluminium body and rubberised
coating, although this means its rather large and heavy. However, if your
photography involves long treks outdoors it could be just what you need.

Lastolite EzyBounce
24.95 www.manfrotto.co.uk/lastolite
USING a bare ash on a subject
can often make things look a bit
garish, with heavy shadows and
overpowering highlights. A
bounce card allows users to angle
the light and, by making it diffuse,
make the image more appealing. The
EzyBounce ashgun is compact, and
when not in use it packs down to the
size of a gents wallet. It would go pretty
much unnoticed in a kitbag and comes with
its own carry pouch.
The bounce card is also a doddle to use.
Attaching it is easy, and it has a silicone strap
with numerous notches on it that enable it to t
different-sized ashguns. The white part of the
bounce card folds in and out, allowing users to
direct the ashlight as they choose. For those
using ash a lot, especially for events such as
weddings, the Lastolite EzyBounce ashgun
bounce card is a worthwhile purchase.
Lee Filters
72 www.leelters.com
THE LATEST additions from Lee Filters include the Super Stopper
and a selection of very hard and medium neutral-density graduated
lters that were only available as custom-made lters for professional
photographers in the past. The new Super Stopper ND lter has
been designed to work well in harsh midday sunlight, reducing the
amount of light that enters the lens by an astonishing 15 stops. By
signicantly extending the exposure time, the Super Stopper has the
effect of allowing anything that moves in a scene to become blurred.
To help calculate correct exposure, Lee Filters has recently
developed a new app (available for free from the App Store) for iOS,
and were expecting an Android version to follow very soon.
The medium and very hard ND grads provide
superb control when attempting to balance
lighter and darker areas of the frame. Both
ND grads are available in 0.3ND (1 stop),
0.45ND (112 stops), 0.6ND (2 stops),
0.75ND (212 stops), 0.9ND
(3 stops) and 1.2ND
(4 stops) strengths.

hile Panasonic
was the rst
company to
make a compact
system camera in the shape of the
Lumix DMC-G1 in 2008, in the
intervening years the company
hasnt really settled on any specic
kind of design. Its GX series aimed
at enthusiast photographers is a
case in point. The GX1 was a
viewnderless, xed-screen camera
designed as a spiritual successor
to the much-loved GF1. Its
replacement, the GX7, was a
slightly larger camera with a built-in
tilting electronic viewnder, a tilting
LCD screen and, in a rst for
Panasonic, in-body image
stabilisation (IS). Last years
replacement for this popular model
was the GX8 an evolution of
the design with a fully articulated
screen and weathersealing, but in
Features
The GX80 has a pretty solid
feature set, most of which weve
seen previously on other recent
Panasonic cameras. Rather than
the 20-million-pixel sensor used
by the GX8, the GX80 shares the
familiar 16-million-pixel MOS
thats in Panasonics other Micro
Four Thirds cameras. However,
for the first time Panasonic has
In-body IS/dual IS
PerhaPs the GX80s most
appealing new feature is
Panasonics latest dual Is system.
Like the GX8 before it, the camera
can use both in-lens and in-body
Is together to allow the use of even
slower shutter speeds without blur
from camera shake. But where the
GX8 only offered four axes of
correction in-body, the GX80
offers five, adding in correction for
rotation around the lens axis. This
tends to be important for long
exposures with wideangle lenses,
so its great to see it added.
The good thing about this is that
you get Is with every lens you can
use, not just those from Olympus,
sigma, samyang and so on, but
also old manual lenses on mount
adapters (when using the latter,
the camera helpfully prompts you
to enter the focal length when you

CAMERA TEST
Lab results
Andrew Sydenhams lab tests reveal just how the camera performs
The GX80 uses the same 16-million-pixel Four Thirds sensor seen in
most of Panasonics recent CSCs, and it behaves very much as weve
come to expect. The company says that removing the low-pass lter
brings a small increase in resolution, but in practice the difference
isnt all that large, as it has historically used very weak low-pass lters
anyway. Image quality is otherwise very predictable, with accurate,
quite attractive colour rendition and plenty of detail at low ISO
settings. Colour saturation is held well as ISO is increased, but ne
detail is blurred away by ISO 1,600. The top two ISO settings of
12,800 and 25,600 should be avoided if possible.
Dynamic range
The GX80 includes no fewer than 22 creative filters: this is the toy effect
Performance
In use, the GX80 is generally well
behaved and produces attractive
images. Its colour rendition is
typically Panasonic being
accurate and attractive, if a little
subdued compared to some its
52
The GX80 gives pretty typical dynamic range measurements for a Micro Four
Thirds model in our Applied Imaging tests. It cant quite match most APS-C
cameras at low ISOs, although with readings above 11EV at ISO 100 and 200,
theres still real scope for recovering additional shadow detail from raw files.
At ISO 1,600 a figure of 9.2EV indicates that the cameras files should still
give good detail rendition through the full tonal range, but will have little
scope for further manipulation. Beyond this things get marginal, with the
ISO 3,200 and ISO 64,00 reading indicate increasing noise that will have a
particularly negative effect on shadow detail. The two top settings have
very low readings indeed, indicating poor image quality.
Resolution
JPEG ISO 200
32
At low ISOs the GX80 resolves around 3,200l/ph, which is about as good
as wed expect from this sensor. This initially holds up well as the ISO is
increased, dropping only slightly at ISO 3,200 to 3,000l/ph, at least when
faced with our high-contrast test chart. However, noise has a more
significant impact at higher settings, with resolution dropping to around
2,400l/ph at ISO 12,800 and just 2,200l/ph at ISO 25,600.

It may be an ageing

pretty well, with a
sophisticated hybrid

excellent full HD video
capability. The LCD tilts,
but the EVF has just 1.44
million dots, which now
looks a bit dated.
Our verdict
JPEG ISO 3,200
There are no huge surprises here, with the GX80 behaving much like other recent
Micro Four Thirds cameras. It gives nice, clean images at ISO 100 and 200, and
while a little luminance noise becomes visible at ISO 400 and 800 if you look very
closely, you wont see it in a print. Very fine low-contrast detail visibly starts to
degrade at ISO 800, but colour saturation is maintained very well. Images are
still quite usable at ISO 1,600, but by ISO 3,200 noise reduction is visibly
smearing away fine detail and shadow detail is blocking up. Higher settings are
increasingly affected by noise, and while ISO 6,400 is still OK for web and small
prints, the top two sensitivity settings are very noisy indeed. They should really
be seen as for emergency use only when theres no other option.

SOLAR ECLIPSE
USA 2017
Amateur Photographer has teamed
up with Omega to offer readers the
chance to experience the Holy Grail for
eclipse chasers, the almost-spiritual
moment when the Moon drifts in front
of our nearest star and the Suns light is
totally blocked from view. Our selection
of eclipse-watching touring holidays all
include return flights to the USA, hotel
accommodation with breakfast, expert
guest astronomers and a full
touring itinerary.

We have included a reasonable budget for your flights. Should the cost of these fall below or rise above this amount we will amend the holiday cost to reflect these changes and therefore the price may
increase or decrease accordingly. The final price will be confirmed in September 2016 when flight details become available.
