I recently picked up a Mint RF70, a fully manual camera designed to accept Fuji’s Instax Wide film. After capturing a few images with it over the past few days, I’m reminded of why I love instant film so much. Yes, it’s magical watching a print develop right in front of you, but that has nothing to do with why instant film is so exceptional. [ Read More ]Original linkOriginal author: Zac Henderson

Netflix’s "Extraction" has just become the most watched Netflix original film, with 90 million viewers over its first four-week period, which means director Sam Hargrave’s efforts paid off. In this newly released video, we see footage of how Hargrave straped himself to a car in order to film an epic one-take car chase scene. [ Read More ]Original linkOriginal author: Jack Alexander

This is another one of the questions asked during our Lightroom Conference (which we’ll get to below), and it brought up another question: If you were to create a preset that applied an Auto Adjustment, would it apply the same Auto Adjustment to every image (moving the sliders to the same exact locations for every image), or would it analyze each image separately as it imports them, so each image would be Auto corrected individually, even if they were imported as a group of images? Note: If you’re wincing at the thought of using Auto at all, I will tell you that today it’s vastly better than its ever been. It’s actually now quite useable as a starting place to being...

The post Nikon Launching Two New Mirrorless Cameras in 2020 appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey. While Canon’s soon-to-debut mirrorless offerings have dominated the news, we have a new Nikon rumor to report: The imaging company will release two mirrorless cameras before the year is out. While the details of these cameras are uncertain, previous rumors have indicated that a Nikon Z8 is currently under development; this will be a “pro” body à la the Nikon D850 series, one that features a 60 MP sensor, a rugged build, and dual card slots. And given that the Z8 has been given a suggested “late 2020” or “early 2021” release date, such a camera would certainly fit...

The definition of travel is “to go on a journey, often of some length which typically occurs abroad.” That being said, people travel to work, the store and the mall, so travel needn’t be restricted by a designated number of miles or a definite time duration. There’s neither a minimum on the number of hours, days or weeks nor a minimum number of miles one must travel from home to meet the definition. The reason I make a big point of this is that many photographers restrict their photography to the times they travel great distances. Large gaps of time go on between vacations and the photo gears get rusty if photography is solely restricted to when you “travel.” Especially during...

ISO and digital noise are often a cause for concern with photographers. In this video, I look at how much noise is acceptable in an image and how that varies depending on the application of the photograph. [ Read More ]Original linkOriginal author: Scott Choucino

Last month, Fujifilm quietly revealed that it would be opening up the API around its lens autofocus to allow other manufacturers to start making lenses. Following on from the well-received and affordable 85mm f/1.8, Viltrox has created a 33mm f/1.4 — in effect, a nifty fifty — and the early reviews are starting to appear.

The post Lightroom Preset Compatibility: XMP or LRTemplate Confusion? appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Adam Welch. Over the last couple of years, Adobe has made some enormous changes to its flagship post-processing software. In short, some of these changes can be slightly…confusing. As someone who uses Adobe Lightroom a lot (and I do mean A LOT), perhaps one of the most confusing changes to Lightroom to come down the pike was Adobe’s choice to change the format of its develop presets from .lrtemplate to .xmp. This has led to quite a bit of head-scratching from hobbyists and professional photogs alike over Lightroom preset compatibility. Today, once and for all (until Adobe changes things), we’re going to...
