Here at Newsshooter, we’ve recently been implementing GIFs to help get a point across that is easier to be seen than to read. This one below for an example from Erik’s review of the Tokina 50-135mm MK II showing a focus breathing test.
Wipster knows that GIFs are also a great source of entertainment, and have created the Looping GIF Competition with over $4,500 worth of prizes up for grabs including some neat filmmaking equipment and software.
