The post 6 Reasons to Use a Tripod in Your Photography appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jeremy Flint. Tripods may seem cumbersome, heavy, expensive, unwieldy – yet they’re one of the absolute best accessories you can buy.

When it comes to taking photos of the night sky, we often find ourselves driving and hiking hours from any artificial light source, relying only on the stars and airglow in the atmosphere to light our entire frame. The conditions for astrophotography can prove to be very challenging to shoot in and push our gear to its limit. To come back with the best possible image, it’s important to head out with the right gear at the right time. Over the last few years, with camera sensors continuing to improve in extreme low-light situations, the technical challenges of astrophotography have eased. Astrophotography today is more accessible than ever before. These tips will help you head out under the night sky to...

When you think of landscape photography, you likely think of images full of rich, vibrant colors.

“There are few things that can match the overwhelming sense of wonder felt when you’re looking up at a sky full of stars,” says photographer Jack Fusco. “Keeping that strong sense of wonder is what makes me want to head in to the middle of nowhere in the dark, to climb across wet rocks and dodge waves to capture something new. That feeling is something that I hoped to capture with this timelapse.” “Wonder Endlessly” takes us on a journey that brings the night sky to life. If you’re inspired, learning the basics of astrophotography is actually pretty easy, though you’ll still have plenty to explore creatively as you experiment with your own compositions. Fusco’s article, “Astrophotography 101” covers everything you...

Be sure to review Part 1 from last week to establish a foundation and obtain more information on how to use the tool. Technology is wonderful. I take for granted that I’m able to converse with someone halfway around the world and simultaneously see their face on video. I can talk into a speaker and adjust the time of day my sprinkler system shuts off. I can travel at 600 mph on a jet for 14 hours and send a text to someone thousands of miles away. And, most of all, in complete darkness, if I place a battery-powered flash atop my camera, I can make a photo of what I can’t even see. Given a flash’s wonderful attributes, can it...

Today I thought I’d run the Lightroom Q&A column (from the Lightroom Queen herself, Victoria Bampton) from the October 2021 issue of Photoshop User magazine. Here ya go: Q. Lightroom is asking to upgrade my catalog. Do I have to upgrade it and is it safe? A. When Adobe releases a major Lightroom update (e.g., version 10.0 or 11.0), usually around October or November each year, a catalog upgrade is often needed to support one of the new features. The first time you open each Lightroom catalog after the update, Lightroom asks permission to upgrade to the new catalog format. If you want to use the new version, you do have to let it upgrade. Good backups are always wise, but it’s...
