Adventure Week
by Stan Moniz ·Posted
It's no secret that photographing the night sky and everything astrophotography related has been a big part of my life for many years now. Staring up at the sky on a dark night is so inspiring. It's a time where I can relax, but at the same time find that creative spark that keeps me moving forward in my career as an action/adventure photographer. It just never gets old.
Every year, I set a new goal. Moving forward and keeping things new and always learning has been my basic philosophy during this walk in the creative arts and recently, I’ve
I’m a big fan of waterproof and crushproof “tough” cameras, not because I do much underwater photography, but because I break things. It’s not that I’m careless, I’m just hard on my gear and I expect that a good piece of camera equipment should be able to withstand the bumps and bruises that an active photographer gives it. The TG line of tough cameras from Olympus has always delivered durability but the latest model, the 12MP

I would recommend heading to your local beach, but if you want to experience all New York City has to offer you are going to have to take a subway
Sand and water get everywhere. Anyone who has vacationed at the beach knows that. Also, not surprising is that these are the two worst possible things to get into electronics, since a single drop of water or grain of sand can quickly cause absurd amounts of damage. Enter the tough camera and its flexing muscles, demonstrating that not only is a little water not a problem—you can try to crush it, go diving, or even drop it and it will keep on clicking. Here are five of the best rugged options currently available.

It’s unfortunate that when I am going out on longer hikes and trips, my lighting kit is generally one of the first things to get left behind. Usually, this is okay—if I’m shooting landscapes or doing some doc-style work, the lights probably wouldn’t even make it out of my bag if I did bring them. However, there are those shots that would benefit from a flash of light or a setup that needs a little bit of fill to make perfect. Fortunately, portable and durable lighting is becoming more and more common, and here are some of the best if you are
Today's adventure is to go swimming with real live sharks in their natural habitat—the ocean! Heading out to Montauk, New York, the location that inspired the film Jaws, we were hoping to see plenty of sharks in their own surf, though from the safety of a cage, as we were guided by an experienced captain out into the open waters.

GoPro is a name that’s synonymous with adventure. Whether you’re running across land, zip-lining through the air, or chasing sharks under the sea, there’s a GoPro for that. But with so many quality products to choose from, selecting
Ask any pilot and most will tell you that the act of flying a drone is an adventure in itself. However, to make our list of best adventure drones, we came up with some added criteria. First, it has to be portable. Adventuring often involves travel, so you want something that is easy to carry. Second, it should feature strong target tracking technology. Third, the drone should be built to withstand the rigors of whatever adventure you throw at it. Using those criteria as a guide, here is the list of our favorite adventure drones.
DJI Mavic 2
On Monday, July 23, we will kick off our first annual Adventure Week here at B&H. Join us as we swim with sharks, tackle a mud run, scale a waterfall, and more. Each day we'll be highlighting a different adventure, providing details on how we did it, the gear we used, and showcasing all the exciting footage we captured along the way. We'll also be publishing plenty of hands-on reviews, buying guides, and tips and tricks to help you embark on an adventure of your own.
Time-lapse videos have invaded nearly every form of media in recent years, even breaking into our social media apps with the recent development of the hyper-lapse. These types of videos can be quite difficult to make, especially with the time requirements inherent in capturing and transforming a lengthy event into a few seconds of footage. They can also be some of the most stunning and interesting videos to watch. To capture even better photos and videos for time-lapses, here are some tips that will help elevate your imagery.
