New Delhi: Google welcomed users with a family photo doodle in honour of Louis-Jacques-Mand Daguerre's 224th birthday. The French painter and physicist was the inventor of daguerreotype, the first successful form of photography.

The guys in designer gear who arrive with an entourage of more than eight assistants and demand star treatment from magazine editors who hire them. At the end of the impersonal, brisk shoot with hardly a single meaningful exchange of words between the moody, scruffy photographer and moi, I turned to the...

Rochester: At Image City Photography Gallery, Gary Thompson delights in pointing out qualities of light, contrast and clarity in one of his best-selling prints - a winter-sunset view of Yosemite National Park's El Capitan peak shot with a hefty Pentax film camera he bought in 1999 for $1,700. His wife, Phyllis, a latecomer to fine-art photography after they retired from teaching in the 1990s, favours a Hasselblad X-Pan for panoramic...

Lifting her iPhone to the plane's window, she captured an otherworldly image that rocketed around the globe as fast as her subject: Space shuttle Endeavour soaring from a bank of clouds, its towering plume of white smoke lighting the azure sky. She had never...

London: Digital storage of photographs is fast turning treasured albums into relics. Eight out of 10 people in Britain now prefer to store photos on social networking sites or just on their laptops rather than print them out and stick them in an album, says a new survey.
