EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT NFTS AND PHOTOGRAPHY

Asian Photography

|

December 2021

NFTs are the latest cryptocurrency to gain widespread notice in an increasingly digital environment. This new sort of technology is in the forefront, thanks to multiple record sales earlier this year. This word refers to a feature that may bring in hundreds, if not millions, of cash. Because news travels very fast, it didn’t take long for the broader population to get involved.

EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT NFTS AND PHOTOGRAPHY

So, what exactly are NFTs?

“Non-Fungible Token” is abbreviated as NFT.

It’s non-fungible, which means it can’t be traded for anything of comparable worth. A token is a digital money produced by a blockchain. A blockchain, on the other hand, is a method of storing data that makes it difficult or impossible to alter, hack, or defraud the system.

To put it another way, an NFT is a unique and secure digital certificate/signature that may be applied to any physical or virtual entity.

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data kept on a digital ledger known as a blockchain that certifies a digital asset as unique and hence not interchangeable. Photos, films, audio, and other sorts of digital media may all be represented using NFTs. In contrast, the buyer of the NFT gets access to any duplicate of the original file. While anybody may access copies of these digital objects, NFTs are recorded on blockchains to give the owner with a proof of ownership that is distinct from copyright.

How Close Should You Get to a Subject? Ethics in Macro

Macro photography is all about getting close — closer than the eye can see. It invites us into intimate worlds: The spiralled symmetry of a snail's shell, the fine hairs on a bee's leg, the dew resting on a spider's web. But as we close in, a question looms that goes beyond technique or gear: How close should we get?

OnePlus Nord 5 Camera Review - New Midrange King?

Last year, when we reviewed the OnePlus Nord 4, it left us wanting more. This year, the Nord 5 arrives with bold promises - it's the first Nord to feature a Snapdragon 8-series chipset and the first mainstream OnePlus device with a 144Hz OLED display. But what we're really here for is the camera - especially since it borrows tech from the flagship OnePlus 13. While pricing hasn't been officially confirmed (we received both the Nord 5 and CE5 under embargo), we expect it to stay close to last year's launch price - between ₹30,000-₹35,000. According to OnePlus, this is their most complete Nord yet. So, do the cameras live up to that claim? Let's find out!

DECAY DIARIES: DISCOVERING THE BEAUTY OF ROT, RUST, AND RUIN THROUGH MACRO

Decay is usually seen as a sign of failure, of neglect, corrosion, and abandonment. It marks the places we leave behind and the things we no longer touch. But for those who carry a macro lens, decay is not the end of something, but the beginning of a fascinating visual story. Up close, rot becomes a rich texture, rust becomes a complex pattern, and ruin becomes poetry. Welcome to the world of Decay Diaries, where beauty isn’t found in perfection, but in what is slowly falling apart.

Apple's iOS 26 Brings Changes to Imaging Experience, Camera APP and Photos

Apple's new design overhaul brings an update to the Camera app in iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, making everyday photography feel more immersive and intuitive. The redesigned UI prioritizes easy reach for core controls while minimizing distractions. Buttons, sliders, and toggles now live within a refined control layer that adapts as you frame shots or switch modes. In the app, navigation and tools morph fluidly to stay out of the way until you need them, keeping the focus squarely on capturing the moment. New gestures streamline access to pro tools, and the layout now curves with the edges of modern displays for a more cohesive, hardware-conscious experience.

WHERE DOES MACRO END AND MICRO BEGIN?

Macro photography opens the door to a world we rarely notice-a place where the texture of a leaf becomes a jungle, the surface of a coin a lunar landscape. But how close is too close? At what point does macro stop being macro and enter the realm of micro photography? The line between the two isn't just a matter of semantics. It's about tools, technique, and intent. In this article, we'll draw that line.
