The Raspberry Pi is an affordable Linux-based computer that can enable a wide range of DIY projects, including many aimed at photographers. Just recently, we've seen creative builders and engineers create a 3D-printed interchangeable lens camera, an IR camera for card tricks, retro-styled DIY camera and a camera that can identify subjects, all powered by Raspberry Pi. A new project, Photon, isn't a Pi-powered camera, but instead a light meter, designed to help photographers capture better images, rather than record photos itself.

The Photon is built around a Raspberry Pi Pico, allowing it to deliver a light meter at a significantly reduced price compared to traditional light meters, which can cost hundreds of dollars. The Pico itself starts at just $4. The company that designed Photon, VEEB, outlines that the total parts list costs less than $50.

In the digital age, the light meters built into cameras are effective for nearly every use case. There are, however, instances where you may still need a light meter. One such use case is when shooting with film cameras, which have undergone an impressive resurgence in popularity in recent years. Not all have built-in light meters and some that once did no longer have a working light meter, necessitating an external light meter to ensure the best exposure. After all, film isn't cheap and nobody wants to waste an exposure because of incorrect settings.

Photon is an incident light meter, meaning it's designed to measure the amount of light hitting your subject, not the light reflecting off your subject into your camera. You choose your aperture or shutter speed using the Photon's built-in button-knob and take a reading. You can also select the ISO using a smaller button on the other side of Photon. Despite being built using less than $50 worth of components, Photon performed well when tested against a tried-and-true high-end Sekonic light meter, according to VEEB.

The full project is outlined on GitHub. The build requires some soldering, but VEEB says it's easy. The full components list includes the Raspberry Pi Pico, an OLED screen, LiPo SHIM for Pico, a rotary encoder, two momentary switches, a Pimoroni light sensor and a LiPo/Lilon battery.

If you're looking for an affordable light meter and aren't afraid to build it yourself, the Photon looks like an excellent option. Visit GitHub for detailed instructions and check out VEEB's website to view its other products.

Fujifilm has announced the TG-BT1, a new Bluetooth tripod grip for its line of X Series cameras.

As the Bluetooth functionality suggests, this grip is able to wirelessly connect to select X Series cameras for remote control of various functions. Specifically, the trigger offers zoom functionality with a ‘T/W’ rocker, as well as dedicated triggers for still shooting and video recording. There’s also a ‘Lock’ button to prevent any unwanted button presses, as well as a Bluetooth button for turning on and off the wireless capabilities.

The grip can be folded up to comfortably hold in the hand, but also has rotating legs that turn it into a tabletop tripod should you need to put the camera down. Unsurprisingly, the grip connects via a standard 1/4”-20 tripod screw with a padded base and knurled gear for easier tightening.

Adjusting the angle of the camera is done via a small rectangular button positioned beneath the tripod mount of the grip. Fujifilm says the design is weather-resistant, so it should pair well with Fujifilm’s weather-sealed bodies and lenses should you want to use it in the elements.

The tripod grip can hold a combined weight of 1.5kg (3.3lbs) and weighs approximately 205g (7.3oz) on its own. The Fujifilm TG-BT1 is avaialble to pre-order on various retailers for $199.99 / £169.99 (Adorama, B&H, Wex)

Considering the design is effectively identical to Sony’s GP-VPT2BT Wireless Shooting Grip and other third-party tripod grip options, it’s probably safe to assume this is a white-labeled product Fujifilm has slightly tweaked and thrown its name on. Whether or not paying the premium for the Fujifilm model is worth it is up for debate, but Fujifilm does guarantee compatibility with its X-T5, X-T4, X-T3, X-T30 II, X-T30, and X-S10 cameras (so long as they’re running the latest firmware update).

Reikan FoCal is a powerful software tool that allows users to connect their cameras to their computers and dial in autofocus calibration. Until now, you've needed to do this with a computer, but Reikan has announced FoCal Mobile, a new mobile app that brings the power of Reikan FoCal to the palm of your hand.

The original FoCal desktop app launched a decade ago, providing fully automatic autofocus calibration for Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Canon EOS 7D DSLR cameras. At that time, the app was available only on Windows. Since then, FoCal has added support for nearly 60 cameras, including the latest Nikon Z mirrorless cameras, and runs on macOS alongside Windows. The desktop app now offers much more than autofocus calibration, with features such as testing stabilization, autofocus consistency, aperture sharpness, dust spots and more.

The new FoCal Mobile app is a complement to the desktop app, rather than a full replacement. It doesn't offer all the same features and instead emphasizes autofocus system checking and calibration. On the free version, you can perform an AF system check and sync camera time with all FoCal-supported cameras. The compatible cameras include Canon DSLR and mirrorless cameras and Nikon DSLR and mirrorless cameras.

Following an in-app purchase, users can perform full AF system calibration, compare their camera against the FoCal database, view results history, share results to FoCal Desktop and perform time sync.

Users connect their camera to their mobile device using an Apple Lightning to USB 3 camera adapter, a USB-C connector, or Reikan's Wireless Camera Module. Once connected, Verify Setup in the app checks your environment, ensuring everything is set up for proper testing. You can then start AF System Check. It takes about two minutes and you'll learn how well your camera and the specific attached lens work together. Results are shown with scores ranging from 0 (poor) to 100 (excellent), providing the user an instant, easy-to-understand performance metric. As for the actual autofocus testing, you must use the printable FoCal Target.

If you use multiple cameras, you know how frustrating it can be to keep them synced. The FoCal Mobile app lets you sync your cameras to the same time as your phone or tablet.

As mentioned, the paid version of FoCal Mobile includes an in-depth comparison database. From here, you can view real-world data points from other FoCal users with more than 14,000 camera and lens combinations. This lets you see how your gear compares with other users. If you get repeated results showing that your lens performs worse than others, it's worth having it looked at.

Autofocus calibration is especially important when working with DSLR cameras. Due to the mirrors in a DSLR that must move up and down when shooting, slight variation in mirror positioning can change how light hits the sensor, which then changes autofocus accuracy since DSLR cameras have AF chips separate from the image sensor. In contrast, many mirrorless cameras have the autofocus system built into the sensor. Plus, there's no mirror, so there's more consistency from camera to camera. However, you may still want to perform autofocus micro-adjustment on mirrorless cameras when using adapted DSLR lenses. Of course, double-checking your setup can provide you peace of mind even when using a mirrorless camera. It can also help you identify physical issues with your lens that may be causing poor performance.

FoCal Mobile is available now. The FoCal Mobile Pro subscription is $18.99 per year. To learn more about the app, visit the App Store and the Google Play Store.

For beginners, the prospect of creating long-exposure photos involving different light sources may seem rather daunting. Not knowing the result in advance can discourage photographers from attempting them, with the result that they avoid doing them altogether. I've had years of experience shooting complex light paintings, and in this article I present an easy-to-understand process that anyone can use to plan their shots.

My modus operandi

The way I think about what to shoot comes from the philosophy behind my work. My perception of photography is that it is like art and poetry. Along with capturing moments, it can and should be used to express yourself. Long exposure photography is a way to do exactly that; it gives you the ability to create and capture something unique in an artistic way.

I've had years of experience shooting complex light paintings, and I present an easy-to-understand process that anyone can use to plan their shots.

The beauty of long exposure photography is that you are restricted only by your own imagination. It is my favorite type of photography because I am forever fascinated by the vibrant colors and the different light streaks and trails captured by the camera.

ISO 200 | 30 sec | F4 (Credit: Gim Liu)

That said, when I come up with an idea of what to shoot, it must have the potential to do at least one of the following:

• Create the illusion/impression of movement
• Bring a static object to life in some way
• Produce an image that is unique and unusual in appearance
• Have qualities that intrigue and captivate

Presenting the after-dark photography formula

To facilitate the creating and capturing of long exposure photos, I developed my after-dark photography (ADP) formula. I made this in order to have a simple and straightforward process from start to finish. It was important to outline the process systematically to ensure that each necessary action is undertaken.

Below is a graphic representation of the ADP formula that reveals the four stages and steps within them:

Now that you've seen the overall formula, we can get into each step.

Stage 1 – Plan

(a) What Will Be Created – decide on the photo and think through how to create/capture it.

(b) Location – choose the best place to take it.

(c) Equipment – gather all equipment needed.

Stage 2 – Set up

(a) Positioning – decide where you will stand (If you will be in the shot) and/or where your camera must be to capture what is intended.

(b) Camera Settings – set the ISO, aperture, shutter speed and self-timer.

(c) Focus – set the focus to the center of the general area where the action will occur.

(d) Take Test Shots – these allow you to refine the procedure and know when everything is ready.

Stage 3 – Execute

(a) Press the Self Timer – depending on your setup: start the recording just before the moment you want to capture; OR start the self-timer, then go to your position; OR go to your position, then start recording using a wireless camera remote.

(b) Perform the Action – Either wait for the camera to capture the action, or perform the action yourself to create the photo.

Stage 4 – Analyze

(a) Examine Photo – look at what you have captured.

(b) Make Adjustments – after analyzing your photo, make adjustments if any are necessary.

(c) Repeat – redo Stages 3 and 4 until you are satisfied with the photo.

The ADP formula has been an invaluable tool that has helped me create and capture countless long-exposure photos over the years. Here is a selection of them:

ISO 100 | 8 sec | F10 (Credit: Gim Liu)

I hope you found these tips informative and that they've helped inspire your own creativity. To learn more about my ADP long-exposure method, see my recently-released debut book, A Beginner's Guide to After Dark Photography with Gimagery.

This past Saturday, November 26, Leica Store San Francisco was robbed, at gunpoint, of nearly $180,000 in camera equipment.

According to surveillance video, four suspects, who arrived in a gray sedan, made their way into the Union Square store around 1:20pm. At least one suspect was armed with a handgun while another appeared to be holding a hammer or mallet of sorts to smash the display cases in the store, which house cameras, lenses and various pieces of Leica history.

The inside of Leica Store San Francisco.

Within three minutes, the four individuals managed to smash $20,000 in display cases and make off with $178,000 in cameras and lenses before hopping in the gray sedan and taking off. It isn’t clear from the video what exactly was taken from the store, but we have contacted Leica Store San Francisco about the matter and inquired about the serial numbers of the stolen equipment.

The San Francisco Police Department is requesting anyone with additional information to come forward by calling its tip hotline (415-575-4444).

UK Deals

Canon | Nikon | Fujifilm | Sony

Manufacturers have less influence on pricing in the UK so tend to have to offer discounts via cashback offers. Here we'll list how much cashback is being offered and list a typical price that you'll end up paying (having checked several online retailers). We've included a link to the cheapest price we've found, but you may be able to find something lower elsewhere.
