I’m (very) jealous of Chris McLennan—a travel photographer who does truly amazing work all over the world, running into endless adventures, meeting incredible people and animals, and stepping into awesome places. I want to be him when I grow up. Here he explains how he took some of his most famous photographs.

Posted in: Today's ChiliFujifilm has just teased its new X-mount camera, thought to be called the X-T1, and it’s a retro delight: all manual dials for exposure, shutter speed, and ISO, and a cool old-school body. We can’t wait to see it properly.
Last year saw the release of the Olympus OM-D EM-1
So her hair makes it look like she’s turned away from the camera but her clothes are set up to make it look like she’s facing the camera. What way is she really facing? Honestly, I can’t tell.

Not that we needed any further proof that GoPro’s hardware is the compact camcorder of choice for anyone looking to capture a unique first-person perspective, but the company recently won a Technological Emmy for its creation. And, of course, the company’s founder captured the whole event with one of its cameras.
