Identifying trends in commercial photography is important. It helps you develop your practice and keeps you on your toes! One of those trends right now is hard light.

We spend years at school learning to read and write text: the meanings of words, what happens when you put them together, how to make yourself more easily understood, methods for convincing others of your point of view, etc. But for many of us, images and visual language are left for us to work out for ourselves. If a picture is worth a thousand words, why do we neglect visual language so much? [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Joe Lenton)

The post 7 Tips for Beautiful Super-Telephoto Wildlife Images appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Kunal Malhotra. If you want to capture stunning wildlife photos – especially close-up, detailed shots of birds and small animals – a super-telephoto lens is essential. Unfortunately, even once you’ve purchased that super-telephoto glass, you’re faced with a slew of technical hurdles. Ultra-long lenses are huge and heavy, leading to handholding difficulties, and the increased reach makes it tough to capture tack-sharp images of wildlife subjects. But don’t throw in the towel just yet! Yes, super-telephoto wildlife photography is difficult. But it’s certainly possible to capture crisp, clear, beautiful wildlife shots, even if you’re a beginner. In this article, I share seven...

I started a new column in Photoshop User magazine a few months back on how to retouch portraits using only Lightroom, and with all the new masking tools and greatly improved “healing brush,” I think there’s a lot more that can be done, retouching-wise, than most users realize, so I want to use this column to open that door and show what can be done, which today is more than ever. Let’s start with one of the most common portrait retouches, which is removing blemishes and reducing things such as hot spots or moles. STEP ONE: Here’s our original image (KelbyOne members can click here to download this image for practice purposes only). The tool we’re going to use for removing blemishes is the...

I was leading one of my June safaris to the Serengeti and was asked a question. In that a “correct” answer depended on a number of variables, my short reply was, “It depends.” I garnered more info by asking follow-up questions and finally gave a solid response. A short while later, I was asked another question based on variables, so my answer was, “It depends.” We dug deeper, and once again, a solid answer was provided. Guess what happened a short while later—yes, I was asked another question and by now you see the pattern: “It depends.” It actually became the slogan of the safari for the entire two weeks and each time a question was asked, smiles did abound anticipating...

The Canon EOS R5 signaled to the industry that Canon was deadly serious about the professional mirrorless space, but along with it came the EOS R6, which kept many of the former's most impressive capabilities without such a high-resolution sensor and features like 8K raw video, which the vast majority of professionals do not need. It was also significantly cheaper, making it quite the intriguing camera. Now, the second iteration, the EOS R6 Mark II, is here, and it brings with it a number of worthwhile improvements. This great video review takes a look at the performance you can expect from it. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)
