Photo By Andrew C. Strom Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Cracked Earth” by Andrew C. Strom. Location: Little Washoe Lake, Northern Nevada. “Right next to Washoe Lake in Northern Nevada is Little Washoe Lake,” explains Strom. “In the summer of 2021, through drought and irrigation, all of Little Washoe had completely dried up. While fascinating to explore and walk upon, it was a bit of treacherous terrain as the cracks in the surface went as far down 18 to 24 inches in places and could easily swallow up a careless foot.” Want to get your images in the running for a Photo of the Day feature?

The post Canon to Release the EOS R7 in 2022 appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey.

Why create a new product that will compete with Canon’s EOS-M lineup? We now have a definitive response, at least according to the reliable Canon Rumors: The EOS R7 is real, both in concept and...

Samyang has long been known for creating very sharp and affordable manual focus lenses, but in the past few years, they have started offering autofocus-capable options while still keeping those budget prices.

It is not uncommon for a Lightroom Classic (LrC) user to become confused about where a given photo is actually stored on a drive. This can be when performing a search using the Library Filter bar or looking in a collection, collection set, or even a previous import. In each of those examples you are viewing a group of photos that have been through the import process, but are being displayed without relation to the folder in which they reside. I’ve seen this happen even right after a batch of photos have been imported and the view switches to Previous/Current Import which shows the last batch of photos without the context of their parent folder(s). The person may think they know...
