The post The Canon EOS R5 Will Be a 5D Series Mirrorless Camera appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey. The Canon EOS R5 has been making waves in recent months, ever since Canon officially confirmed several of its features, including 20 frames-per-second shooting speed, true 8K video, and in-body image stabilization. However, despite such tidbits, we were in the dark about a number of EOS R5 characteristics, including its price, its resolution, and its position in the Canon mirrorless lineup. Until today. While Canon has yet to tell us the R5’s price and megapixel count, we have something that could be just as valuable: That the EOS R5 is a “5-series” camera. In other words,...

The post How to Use the Luminar 4 Pro Tools Panel appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Christian Hoiberg. Luminar 4 is an intuitive photo editor that’s used by both complete beginners and advanced photographers.

Don’t be fooled, though. Despite being named ‘Pro Tools’ and containing more advanced tools, most of them are still easy to use. There aren’t any AI tools in this category, so you will need to do a little more manual work. The Professional Tools category is...

The post Weekly Photography Challenge – Pets appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Caz Nowaczyk. With many of us stuck indoors, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to make this week’s photography challenge our PETS! This is my dog, Mya. This won’t win any photography awards – and it was just captured with my phone – but it really captures her playful spirit. And she loves rolling on that little rug. I’m currently missing mine, as I’ve had to hunker down in a town that isn’t mine, and my doggies are 400kms away from me. But, for many of you, they are hunkering down indoors with you. So take this time to give them your...

Well, it was earlier this week on “The Grid” (my weekly photography podcast), when we asked our viewers to send a link to their websites for a critique of their layout, design, and usability.

Back to Lightroom stuff on Monday, but until then, I hope you’ll stay safe and healthy, and indoors, and here’s to better days ahead. Cheers, -Scott P.S.
