We are at a remarkable time in photography: cameras and lenses are more capable than ever, and we can create images that photographers could only dream of a decade ago. And for the most part, that is a great thing. However, there can be a downside to that. Are images too perfect nowadays? [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

Tamron has continued to establish themselves as a company that creates both lenses that make smart compromises to get to affordable price points and others that push the boundaries of design. The new 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD is quite the interesting option, sitting somewhere between a wide angle zoom and a standard zoom. This great video review takes a look at the new lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

What if every time you pressed the shutter, it cost you $5? What would you shoot? Large format photography is about as extreme as it gets, but it gives you images that simply are not possible with 35mm or even medium format. This neat video will show you the process of shooting 4x5 film and some of the images you can create with it. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

You know film photography has really made a comeback when it appears on mainstream news like NBC. Not only did they cover this story, but they even went as far as capturing the footage entirely on film. Something they hadn’t done in almost 44 years.

I've always been a fan of seascape and waterfall photography. I love these dynamic environments and don't shy away from getting myself wet while closing in on the subject matter. The only thing that could hold me back was the intense spray I had to face while getting close to a stormy sea or a thundering waterfall. But no longer. I found a solution against the limitations it imposed on my photography, and I share it with you in this article. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Michael Breitung)

Coming in a relatively small and portable package and at a price that will not break the bank, the Canon RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM offers photographers access to all the most common ultra-wide angle focal lengths along with a few extra useful features. Can it offer the sort of performance and image quality professionals need? This excellent video review takes a look. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

When I launch a new book, I usually do a “Book Chat,” which is kind of an online version of what I’ve done at a book signing at Barnes & Noble, where I share some of what’s in the book and well, that’s what I’m doing tonight, in about an hour from now with my new Lightroom Book. Everyone’s invited, and I’m doing some fun giveaways, like two copies of On1 Software’s new Effects 2023 plug-ins, and a Platypod Extreme, a KelbyOne Pro Membership, and two $50 Rocky Nook Publishing gift cards (they publish all the cool photography books). You can catch the stream live at facebook.com/skelby – 7 PM ET tonight. Hope to see you there – I’ve got some fun...

Photo By Geert Weggen “Many red squirrels visit my garden here in the middle of Sweden on a daily basis. I put out food and wait for them,” says Geert Weggen. “They’re used to me and the camera, which makes it easier to capture images of them. I put some sunflower seeds under the flower in the moss. Eating small seeds makes them stand in postures for a longer time on places where I hope to capture them. Because they see me daily, it makes it easy to approach them and change something in the scene without them running away.” Nikon D7100, Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM at 300mm. Exposure: 1/250 sec., ƒ/8, ISO 400. See more of...

Starting a YouTube channel is something you might consider whether you take photographs for profit or fun. A successful channel can offer benefits in the form of payments for viewership and sponsorship opportunities. A less successful channel can help a photographer build an audience and create a community in which to share their passion for photography.

The 24-70mm f/2.8 lens is one of the most popular and important options out there, found in a huge range of genres and applications, where its combinations of a wide aperture and commonly used focal lengths make it a prized choice. That being said, such lenses tend to be rather expensive. Sigma's 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN brings the price down by a significant amount by making a few clever compromises. This great video review takes a look at the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in usage. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

There are two kinds of light sources for video: LED lights and panels. Both have advantages and drawbacks. Which is the best choice when you’re on a budget? Should you choose an LED light or an LED panel? I made my choice, but now, I have my doubts. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Nando Harmsen)
