We recently started a new feature on Shutterbug.com where we showcase some of our favorite footage as our video of the week. This video, titled “Big Baja Spider Crawling Through Our Camp,” was shot by Drew Coalson.

As the revealing video below shows, portraits can be shaped by the photographer’s point of view rather than just by the subject being documented. Created by The Lab in conjunction with Canon Australia, the clip features six photographers, one portrait subject and an unexpected twist. The twist consisted of the (mis)information each photographer was initially provided regarding the person being photographed.

Our previous video (see Camera Shutter Sounds Are Not All The Same And This Video Proves It) revealed that every camera make and model is capable of producing its own variety of unique sounds. This knowledge inspired photographer Benjamin Von Wong and Andrew Kesler—along with a few creative assistants—to experiment with and transform 14 Nikon cameras (provided by Nikon Professional Services Canada) into musical instruments and use them to create an amazing symphony of shutter and camera sounds.

An unchanging fixture in our daily lives, we rarely give the sun a second thought. The gorgeous 30-minute 4K video below, which was created by NASA, provides viewers with a new and highly unique view of the star our planet gracefully orbits.

Some photographers may think that every camera is only capable of making the exact same sound when the shutter is pressed (to capture a single shot or a rapid burst of images): that familiar soft metallic click. While that may seem to be true, in reality nearly every make and model of camera has a shutter sound that is quite unique.

We met up with Wasim Ahmad from Canon at the PhotoPlus Expo 2015 show in New York City this week to get a look at the stylish and pocket-friendly 20-megapixel Canon PowerShot G9 X digital camera. Check out this short take video on the camera.
