The post Canon to Phase Out Support for Many EOS M Cameras and DSLRs appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey. Canon currently offers repair services for a wide array of cameras and lenses, including most of its EOS M lineup, dozens of DSLRs, and, of course, its EOS R series models. But according to Canon Rumors, this may not last. CR points to Canon Japan’s website, which lists repair-support end dates for the company’s entire set of camera products – and while most of Canon’s EOS R cameras will remain serviceable for the foreseeable future, the imaging company apparently plans to end repairs for various M series models and DSLRs over the next handful of...

The 7D line of APS-C DSLRs from Canon were some of the most popular the company ever made, bringing many of the features and capabilities from higher-level full frame cameras like the 5D and 1D series to far more affordable cameras.

This excellent video review takes a look at the camera after six months of usage and if it holds up to the needs of professional photographers.

We would be hard-pressed to find a photographer who wasn't familiar with mega-brands Tamron and Sigma offering lower-priced lenses to rival the designs put out by the giants: Canon, Nikon, Sony, and more.

The post dPS Weekly Photo Challenge – Favourite Food appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Sime. You can photograph a burger or some lettuce, you could setup a freshly picked apple (don’t forget the water drops and a couple of apple leaves, maybe?) The challenge here isn’t necessarily the food, but they way you photograph it. A bowl of fruit in the right light is way better than a bowl of fruit in dull light! Use #dPSWeeklyChallenge and #dPSFaveFood – Also, please keep in mind, these challenges are to sharpen your photography skills, not your ‘searching through the archive’ skills, so please take a new photograph for each challenge (just one per challenge) So take your favourite food...

The post 9 Tips for Street Photography in the Rain appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Kevin Landwer-Johan. Rainy-day street photography can be a lot of fun, and it’s a great way to produce gorgeous photos. When the rain starts to fall, locations – particularly urban areas – become moody and atmospheric. The resulting photos are often powerful and unique. When doing street photography in the rain, however, you’ve got to do more than stay dry and snap away with your camera. Making the most of the falling rain and the wet surfaces has its challenges, and if you can head out your door with various techniques in mind, you’re more likely to return with some great...

Photo By Sumi Das “During Christmas and New Year’s of 2020-2021, I was visiting Yellowstone National Park with the hope that I’d get to photograph wolves,” explains Sumi Das. “Well, that wish was hard to come by despite our weeklong stay in the park. After spending a whole day driving up and down the Lamar Valley, as we were exiting the park, I saw a bison herd crossing the road, causing a traffic jam. I looked out through the window and saw two young bison start nudging each other in a playful way. I quickly rolled down the window to take this shot.” See more of Sumi Das’ work on Instagram @sumiswildphoto. Nikon D6, AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4E FL ED VR...

The 50mm focal length, often referred to as the "nifty fifty," has long been one of the most commonly used in photography, noted for its versatility and often, its affordability relative to other focal lengths.

I’m working at Shutterfest this week in St. Louis, and had some time to explore the capabilities of the latest feature added via Firmware to the R5. Now, this mode is not for everyone or for every shooting situation, but when the conditions are suitable, it is an interesting addition to this camera’s capabilities. It works by using the camera’s in-body image stabilization to move the sensor while taking 9 photos and then combining them all together into a single very high-resolution JPG. Yes, JPG, and no, you don’t get the individual frames, just the final image. You defintely need to have the camera locked down on a tripod, and just as importantly, your subject must be completely stationary, otherwise the...
