New raw photo phone app MPB announces Hall of Fame
ON1 has released a free app for capturing raw images on your phone, if supported. ON1 Photo Mobile is designed to be an expert-level camera app that enables you to adjust a range of settings in real time. Built-in filters include black & white film grain, vignetting and enhancing local contrast. The app uses the raw processing engine found in the ON1 Photo raw application. ON1 Photo Mobile is available for iOS/iPad OS and Android. Also announced is ON1 360, which enables you to edit and synchronise images across a range of computers and mobile devices. Last but not least, ON1 has announced updates to ON1 Photo RAW 2020, which works as a standalone program or as plug-ins for Lightroom and Photoshop. See www.on1.com.
LEADING used specialist MPB has announced that public voting is now open for its first ever Photo and Video Kit Hall of Fame. The idea is to honour the best photo and video equipment made, either digital or film. MPB’s experts have nominated 25 nominees across five awards categories: Classic, Game Changer, Iconic, Road Tested and Trendsetter. These cover 13 leading brands. As you’d expect, a lot of hugely influential gear has been nominated, including the Canon EOS 5D Mark III, the Nikon D810 and the Leica M3.
‘Being able to handle this range and calibre of kit week in and week out, we’re honoured to be launching the Photo and Video Kit Hall of Fame,’ said Matt Barker, MPB’s founder and CEO (right). ‘The kit you shoot with can give you the freedom to explore creatively as well as the confidence that you’ll get the right shot. We understand how passionate people are about camera gear, and we launched this Hall of Fame to give people a tangible way to engage with that passion.’ Voting is open until 11 August 2020 and MPB will announce the inaugural 2020 class on World Photography Day, which is 19 August. The gear itself will feature in an exhibition in Brooklyn, New York City. Details about the exhibition and future induction events will be announced in the coming months.
