We've reported before on how NASA uses Nikon DSLRs when aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Now we've seen a video on how they use those cameras to shoot selfie photos of themselves at work in the ISS.

This oldie but goodie turned up on Kottke today and, for us, it’s the perfect way to end the week: with a few laughs. (At least we thought it was pretty funny.)

Here’s something fun to carry you into the weekend. Freefly, which makes the Alta 8 camera drone, released a video today showing someone surfing while being pulled by a high-flying drone. It was shot at Dash Point State Park in Washington.

In the last of our videos from the PhotoPlus Expo 2017 show, we hooked up with Fujifilm to get a look at their new, ultra-compact 24.3MP X-E3 mirrorless camera and two new lenses.

Not long ago Canon introduced two powerful full-frame mirrorless cameras, the 45MP EOS R5 and the similar but lower resolution 21.1MP EOS R6. Most photographers realize that a camera with more megapixels isn’t always the best choice, depending upon one’s needs and style of photography.

Many photographers are more than willing to pay a significant premium for the latest full-frame cameras, but does the difference in image quality as compared to crop-sensor cameras justify the extra cost? We don’t expect to answer this question here, but the six-minute video below provides an interesting take on the ongoing sensor size debate.

If you’re bored sitting around the house, and wish you could go out shooting, this video is for you. In just five minutes you’ll pick up a bunch of fresh ideas, with some easy DIY hacks for creative photography at home.
