Above: video clip from the film Godland that shows the difficulties faced in taking just one photograph 150 years ago!

There have some been some great movies over the years that have had photographers as their central characters. From Hitchcock’s thriller Rear Windowto Antonioni’s blow up, cameras and photography have been keen parts of the plot of many remarkable cinema dramas. But for my money, the new art-house drama godland has to be a new entry to the list of the best movies about image making.

Godland was set in the late nineteenth century, and its central character is

03/11/2025

By now you’ve probably heard of the solar eclipse gracing our skies this Thursday.

You know what it is, where to see it, when to see it, who’s going to see it, what it will look like and why it’s so rare.

But questions remain. Like, how do I see it without losing my eyesight?

And can I get it on video without damaging my gear?

A winner in an international photography competition has recognized his award after revealing that his artwork was generated with the help of artificial intelligence.

German artist Boris Eldagsen said he submitted his image to this year’s Sony World Photography Awards in a bid to test whether such competitions are prepared for the entrance of realistic, AI-generated submissions. His announced win last month in the creative category led him to conclude that they are not.

“AI images and photography should not compete with each other in an award like this. They are different entities. AI is not photography. Therefore I will

Famously elusive wolverine photographed in south Calgary

31/10/2025

Famously fierce and elusive, wolverines are a rare sight in the Canadian wilderness, even for researchers. As such, glimpsing one in a city the size of Calgary is almost unbelievable.

Yet that’s what happened Saturday in the southern outskirts of the city. Two wildlife photographers snapped images of the solitary carnivore as it darted through frozen marshland.

“It made quite a racket,” said Gordon Cooke, one of the photographers. “I had no idea what it was until it broke out into the open and I got a couple shots of it.”

A few of his images captured the wolverine perched

In this era of AI photography, I no longer believe my eyes | Adrian Chiles

28/10/2025

Lying in bed the other morning listening to the radio, I experienced a dark epiphany; I’ve never been much fun in the mornings. There had been problems in Jerusalem, and one side in the conflict had provided video footage supporting its claim that it had been wronged. For my whole life up to this point, I would have been minded to take a look at that video. But now I found myself thinking, why bother? How would I know it showed what it said it showed? How would I know it wasn’t a complete fake? Videos and photos used
