The post 15 Portrait Photography Mistakes (And How to Fix Them) appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Kevin Landwer-Johan. Portrait photography can be tough.

So without further ado, let’s take a look at the most common 15 portraiture mistakes (made by beginners, hobbyists, and even professionals). 1. A poor composition Beginner portrait photographers make this mistake pretty consistently: They don’t think carefully about the position of the subject in the frame,...

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...
