Whether it is something that helps us always stay ready to
shoot a perfect photo or a gadget allowing us to shoot photos from bird’s eye
view, there are plenty of trends in photography enabled by technological
advancements. So, let’s see what those trends are.
The 4 Latest Tech Trends in Photography
1. Cloud
Services
Cloud technology is slowly but steadily conquering the world of photography. The goal is to replace the old model where cameras have to store images in local storage, such as an SD card. A few months ago, Relonch introduced a new camera that looks completely the same as a standard DSLR cam, however, the photos taken by this camera are uploaded to the cloud storage via built-in SIM card.

A few months ago, Relonch introduced a new camera that looks completely the same as a standard DSLR cam, however, the photos taken by this camera are uploaded to the cloud storage via built-in SIM card.
The cloud server has automated software for image
post-processing that returns you the edited photo after you are done with the
upload. The idea behind this is a great one and it will most definitely shape
the photography industry. The only question that remains to be answered is:
“Can automated image editing software provide the same results as an
experienced professional does?”
2. Photo Editing
Outsourcing
These two pressures, one from the tech side and another from
the side of pressing deadlines and clients, have created a nourishing climate
for companies specializing in photo editing. These companies have teams of
smart, highly trained and experienced photo editors who are well-versed in
image editing and restoration. Their photo
editing services and smart photo editors are always looking forward
to meet customer deadlines while providing a quality service.
3. Smartphone
Cameras Are Becoming Viable
Wouldn’t it be handy to have everything in one device as a
photographer? This would mean no more struggle with a large DSLR in your hands.
Well, this might be possible thanks to Johan Godfroid, a tech designer from
Belgium. He has created a system that significantly improves cameras found in
smartphones.
Johan’s revolutionary operational system is mountable to a
smartphone device and it allows a user to capture 120 degree wide-angle images.
Furthermore, this new system can capture infrared images. This way,
photographers can capture photos with more depth and accuracy. Especially when
taking photos of scenes including surfaces with high contrast.
4. Drone Tech
Drones are massively being used in photography and
videography these days. They allow professionals to take astonishing bird's-eye
view photos. And the drone technology is currently setting new boundaries. It
seems that developers are trying to make drones that can move very fast and
stay up in the air for longer than ever before.
There are two drone models out there that deserve our
attention. First one is the Hobbico C-Me. This one is the smallest photography
drone out there. It’s size and price are adjusted to those photographers who
don’t want to commit to larger and more expensive models. Hobbico C-Me weighs
only five ounces and belongs to the ultra-small drone category, but it packs a
full HD 8 MP camera.
Another drone that deserves attention is Yi Erida. Made
entirely of carbon fibre, Yi Erida is a drone that can reach up to 75mph and
stay airborne for 40 minutes. It features tricopter design and can withstand
temperatures as low as -15 degrees C. With the ability to reach maximum
altitude of 6 km, this drone is capable of capturing the most beautiful photos.
These are the latest tech trends in photography. However,
since the tech is rapidly progressing, we can expect to see even more
interesting achievements on the next CES in January of 2018. Until then, we can
reap the benefits of all the cool gadgets that are already on the market.
