The post The EOS R7 and R10: Canon’s First RF-Mount APS-C Cameras appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey. Canon has officially launched two RF-mount crop-sensor cameras, the EOS R7 and the EOS R10. Both will “be available in late 2022.” The cameras are the first of their kind, combining Canon’s mirrorless RF-mount technology – originally designed for full-frame products like the EOS R, EOS RP, and EOS R5 – with APS-C sensors.  While Canon has produced APS-C mirrorless cameras in the past, those models used the smaller EF-M mount and were not compatible with Canon’s full-frame lenses. The EOS R7 and R10, in contrast, are fully compatible with pro-level RF-mount lenses; they can also be...

There has been a wealth of smaller brands cropping up, looking to dethrone photography royalty. Meike is one of them and they targeted Canon's cinema lens set. So, are they far enough behind Canon to warrant an extra $15,000? [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Robert K Baggs)

Registration is...

As a nature photographer, my primary goal is to help those who view my work to appreciate the value of pure, unspoiled wilderness. Creating captivating images that seize and sustain the viewer’s attention is key. The longer you can get someone to look at a photograph, the greater the odds that they will connect with its subject matter. In this fast-paced world where people can consume hundreds of images and videos in a matter of minutes, why should they stop scrolling for your image? While the answer is multi-faceted, practicing what I call the “art of mystery” through abstract nature photography can be very effective for creating more engaging images. This scene leaves out familiar objects, so when many people look...

Photo By Lea Scaddan “A western gray kangaroo male was doing his own thing when approached by another male who wanted to provoke him,” explains Lea Scaddan. “It quickly turned into a full-blown confrontation with both males as they fought for dominance of the females. The male kangaroo uses its strong tail as support so he can kick his opponent with his hind legs. Fortunately for the other male, the kangaroo on the right misjudged the kick and missed him altogether.” See more of Lea Scaddan’s work at leascaddan.com.au.

Fujifilm's GFX line of medium format mirrorless cameras turned the paradigm of large-sensor cameras on its head by making them highly competitive on price, so much so that they became viable alternatives to upper-level full frame options. The first of them was the GFX 50S, and though the line has evolved since, it remains a viable option and might just be one of the best deals in photography right now.

Last week I wrote about some ways to share photos from Lightroom Classic using the good old Export dialog. Of course you could simply attach those photos to an email or save them to a thumbdrive to transfer to someone else, but there a variety of cloud storage options that make sharing large files very easy. You’re probably already paying for one or more of them. Let’s look at how they can be used. Adobe Creative Cloud I assume most people reading this blog are subscribers to one of the Creative Cloud plans, and if so, included with your plan is at least 20GB of cloud storage. Not much, but certainly enough for the occasional JPG you might want to send...
