The post The Nikon Z9 Is Officially in Development. Here’s What We Know So Far. appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey. Earlier this month, Nikon officially announced its flagship Z-series camera, the Nikon Z9.

Nikon’s official...

One of the best things in Lightroom’s cloud version is it’s visual image search using Adobe Sensei (Adobe’s AI-powered magic), and what’s cool about this technology is — you can search by simply describing what’s in the photo you’re looking. No keywording required! For example, you could search for guitar and it will instantly bring up all the photos in your Lightroom cloud library that have a guitar in them. You could have it search for all your shots of the Eiffel Tower (yes, it knows the Eiffel Tower), or all your photos with the red as the main color — stuff like that. You’re searching by what’s in the photo, rather than searching by keywords or file names. It’s not 100%...

While I agree that a great photographer can create incredible images using basic tools, it is no secret that great tools can help a good photographer achieve greatness.

And so, I wanted to share some resources on how to get painted backdrops without putting a second mortgage on your house. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Zach Sutton)

I feel privileged to have had photography as my passion, and my profession, for more than 45 years. I have been fortunate to have wonderful teachers, mentors, friends and colleagues along the way from whom I have learned so much about the craft and aesthetics of the medium, and whose images have inspired me during my journey. I love the word “photography”—its literal meaning being “light writing.” For me, light is the essential element of this magical medium. The pursuit of this often elusive and variable band of electromagnetic radiation, and how photographic films and papers respond to it, is still a magical part of the process for me.
