Photo By Craig Bill Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Epic” by Craig Bill. Location: Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah. “This actually was the first time I visited Cedar Breaks National Monument and the new winter atmosphere started to unfold,” explains Bill. “Millions of years of sedimentation, uplift and erosion are carving out this enormous sloping amphitheater that spans some three miles and is more than 2,000 feet deep and over 10,000 feet above sea level overall. This monument was named for the Juniper trees that were misidentified as ‘cedars’ and named ‘breaks’ by the early pioneers as it was common to call areas like this. But the name has stuck ever since its establishment in 1933. The native Paiutes called...

The post Everything a Beginner Should Know to Improve Their Street Photography appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by James Maher. Street photography may seem simple on the surface, just a lot of waiting around looking for an interesting moment to happen. However, the reality is that it is one of the most difficult forms of photography. Particularly at the beginning, it can be very hard to improve in street photography. The best moments don’t occur very often, and when they do, you have to be aware enough to see it quickly. You have to be brave enough to capture it, and your camera has to be set right. A lot has to go right, but when it...

The post The Canon EOS R6 Will Have Dual Card Slots, 20 FPS Shooting appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey. The Canon EOS R5 has been attracting a lot of attention recently with its 45 MP sensor, blazing-fast shooting speeds, and 8K video. So much attention, in fact, that you’d be forgiven if you weren’t aware of Canon’s other soon-to-drop mirrorless model, the EOS R6. To be fair, the EOS R6 hasn’t been officially announced by Canon. All the information we have on it comes from rumors, but this type of rumor tends to be pretty accurate, and there’s little doubt that the EOS R6 will debut in 2020. So what can we expect from...

On Friday we started a series of free Webcasts (ones that we usually do for KelbyOne Members, we opened them to everyone during this virus crisis), and the first one was on how to prep your images for printing at a photo lab. I did the entire thing in Lightroom Classic since…well…the other Lightroom (cloud) doesn’t do printing at all…so…there’s that. Anyway, I take questions from viewers during the live Webinar and one of them sent us down a bit of a rabbit hole, and surprisingly it was about file formats, and in particular, should they save their files in TIFF format for maximum quality? Here’s the short answer. No. In fact, don’t use TIFF for anything ever really, unless you’re...

I’m a stout proponent of less is more when it comes to my photography. This is the point of this and last week’s tip—KISS: Keep It Simple And Splendid. Below I offer more techniques that will help you create images of animals with impact. Using Flash to Control the Elements For me, light is the single most important aspect that determines the success of a photo. It certainly needs to work in tandem with other qualities that need to align, but without good light, images fall short. If the ambient light isn’t ideal, flash can be used to augment it. It can fill in shadows to reduce contrast, add illumination to the shadow side of an animal and become a main...
