After my initial thoughts article, I have now spent the past month shooting with the new Nikon Z 9 pretty much every day. A month may not be enough for a long-term review, but I’ve already found myself in an incredibly diverse set of situations, and while some question the existence of love at first sight, I must say this camera has been something special right out of the box.

File this post under ancient features in Lightroom Classic that are so obscure that most people don’t know it’s there. I’m pretty sure this feature has existed since Lightroom was first released, but it is not easily discovered. Admittedly, it is only useful to the subset of people who have cameras that allow for the recording of voice memos AND actually use it. You’ll have to check your camera’s manual to see if it allows recording voice memos, but it tends to be a feature found on higher end cameras. I know it exists on cameras like the Canon R5, R3, and 1DX MkIII, Nikon’s Z6, Z9, and D6, as well as Sony’s a9 II to name just a few. The...

The post 10 Tips for Editing Landscape Photography Like a Pro appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Rick Ohnsman. You’ve heard it countless times: “Get it right in camera. If you compose and expose properly, your photo won’t need editing.” That’s hogwash! Yes, a properly executed photo might not need much editing, and it’s best to avoid “rescue mission” editing sessions that try to salvage a bad image. But to think there should be no editing in landscape photography (or in any kind of photography, for that matter)? Such an approach will simply leave you with an image that is half baked. In other words, editing matters, regardless of your photography skill. Below, I share 10 tips...

24mm lenses are highly useful, as they are generally about the widest focal length you can use before wide angle distortion begins to become really obvious. 24mm f/1.4 lenses generally run around $1,000 or more, but Viltrox's AF 24mm f/1.8 comes in at less than half that, and this excellent video review takes a look at the image quality and performance you can expect from it.
