Final Analysis

A week in photography
For a long time serious
photographers tended to look
down at ‘phone snappers’, and
there still remains a bit of
prejudice (on either side, to
be honest). It doesn’t need to be an either/or
situation though; as the old belief goes, ‘the
best camera is the one you have with you,’ and
the quality of image-processing software in
today’s smartphones is staggeringly good. So

In this issue
in this issue, top smartphone photographer
Jo Bradford explains how to get the best of
both worlds: good-quality images
and
convenience. Undoubtedly, most AP readers
will have a smartphone, so turn to page 12.
Talking of convenience we also review Sony’s
RX100 VI superzoom compact. And I reveal
how to get better boudoir photos (page 32). So
never let it be said that AP is short of variety.

This moody mono shot was
uploaded to our Twitter page using
the hashtag #appicoftheweek.
it was taken by photographer Terry
hall. he tells us, ‘i am interested in
architectural photography, especially
in London as there are so many
great buildings. Canary Wharf is
particularly interesting as most of
the buildings are so modern.
i particularly wanted to shoot a
long exposure looking up at the
One Canada square building. i used
a tripod and an ND filter to capture
a little movement in the clouds.
i then converted it to mono in post
processing and pushed the contrast
and level adjustments.’

NEWS ROUND-UP
The week in brief, edited by Geoff Harris
A Nikon 1 bites the dust
Nikon has officially discontinued its 1 series mirrorless camera
range, including all the 11 models released since 2011. While the
company remains tight-lipped, industry watchers are expecting a
new range of full-frame mirrorless cameras to be announced
around the time of the Photokina 2018 photo show in September.
Luminar 1.3.0 update now available
Editing software Luminar 2018 has been updated, with version 1.3.0
opening raw photos faster, adding DNG Camera Profiles, improving
batch processing on Windows, and bringing the Windows and Mac
versions more in-line. Owner Skylum also announced progress with
its DAM digital asset manager. See skylum.com for more details.

winners revealed
3 Legged birthday
The winners of the Marilyn
Stafford FotoReportage Award,
given to female documentary
photographers addressing
important environmental,
economic or cultural issues,
have been announced. The
winner is Turkish photographer
Özge Sebzeci for her proposed
project on the marriages of
displaced Syrian refugee
children in Anatolia. Visit www.
marilynstafford.com.
Quirky British tripod maker,
3 Legged Thing, has celebrated
its eighth birthday. As well as
camera supports, the company
is famous for its inventive
product names, while most
competitor products sound like
Wi-Fi passwords. According to
founder Danny Lenihan (pictured
above), he’s most proud of the
Leo tripod, which won Tripod of
the Year at the 2017 Lucie
Technical Awards. See

The AIs have it
Chinese smartphone maker, Huawei, has devised a new wheeze for
a photo contest – one of its judges is the artificial intelligence (AI)
system in its P20 Pro phone. Trained using 4,000,000 images taken
by pros and picture editors, the AI will assign each photo a score
based on parameters like focus, jitter, colour and composition.
