Epson today announced two new desktop photo printers, the SureColor P700 and P900. Though aimed primarily at serious photo hobbyists, the new printers are sophisticated enough to be an option for pros as well. The Epson SureColor P900 (pictured) can print on media up to 17 inches wide. The Epson SureColor P700 has most of the same features, but a smaller maximum print size of up to 13 inches wide. The key difference between the two models is their maximum print sizes. The SureColor P700 can make prints up to 13 inches wide, and the SureColor P900 increases that to up to 17 inches wide. These models replace the SureColor P600 and P800, released in 2015. Both can accommodate cut-sheet and...

There is a lot of noise in photography, and I am not talking about the sort that appears in your images at higher ISOs. Rather, there are a lot of things in the industry that simply do not matter when it comes to making images, running a business, or simply enjoying the experience and thrill of taking a photograph and seeing it come to life before your eyes. This great video discusses some of the things we should worry about a bit less in photography and reminds us of what really matters. [ Read More ]Original linkOriginal author: Alex Cooke

Photo By Susan Winfree Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Bobcat Blessed” by Susan Winfree. Location: Livermore, California. “A close encounter with a bobcat as it was leaving a gully in the Livermore Open Space area,” explains Winfree. “It was my first day out with the new Canon 80D and 70-200mm lens. I went for a hike and saw this little darling. I kept as much distance as possible above it until it started coming out of the gully. I was low to the ground and as still as possible as not to frighten it and had to lean back slowly to get focus and take a shot as soon as there was eye contact. Then it turned away and kept...

The post How to Choose the Best Lens for Wildlife Photography appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Shreyas Yadav. Before you select a lens for wildlife photography, first ask yourself – what are you passionate about photographing? Do you love exploring the forest and chasing big cats on a wildlife safari? Perhaps you love photographing birds flying around? Maybe you love to explore reptiles and amphibians? After you have figured out what you are passionate about, think about how many of those subjects are available and whether you can access that location. For example, if I am passionate about exploring forests full of tigers, leopards, and elephants, I have to see if those subjects – and the...

What’s it about pictures of wildlife that so strongly separates the great ones from those that never get looked at a second time? What differentiates a cherished image from one you shun so emphatically? There are a number of factors, but one of the most critical characteristics is the decisive moment. The decisive moment can be defined as an instant in time in which all elements of an image work harmoniously. The eyes, head position and facial expression are priceless, the lighting complements the subject and the background and foreground are in accord with the rest of the picture. So, how does one learn to capture the decisive moment? First off, practice, practice practice. Yet within all of the practicing, there...
