The month of May closes out with a New Moon (moonless sky), to which deep sky astrophotographers always look forward. This month brings a potential bonus of an intense burst of meteors, perfectly timed for North American astrophotographers. In fact, it’s so perfectly timed (for U.S. residents) that it falls on a Monday evening of a U.S. three-day holiday weekend. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by David Kodama)

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...

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.
