The post Canon Is Developing RF-Mount Tilt-Shift Lenses appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey. It’s only been a few years since the release of Canon’s first full-frame mirrorless camera, but the imaging company’s RF-mount lineup now features dozens of lenses, including pro-level zooms, top-notch primes, and even a handful of macro and super-telephoto models. One product that has been conspicuously absent from Canon’s mirrorless lineup, however, is the tilt-shift lens. While TS glass isn’t exactly mainstream, it offers a myriad of benefits for certain shooters: Architectural and cityscape photographers can use shift technology to prevent perspective distortion, while landscape snappers can use tilt technology to keep deep scenes in focus without relying on diffraction-plagued apertures...

It’s installment #5 in my Lightroom retouching column, and while last time we looked at retouching wrinkles, this time around, we’re looking at a related technique, which is reducing hot spots (those shiny areas on your subject’s face that almost look kind of sweaty). Obviously, unless you’re photographing an athlete (or somebody that should be sweating), this isn’t usually a good look, so let’s look at how to deal with it (and a few other little things while we’re at it). Here’s our original image, and you can see the large hot spots on her forehead. I think the highlight going down the bridge of her nose is a bit hot as well, so let’s at least deal with those two....

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at the winter lodge in Yellowstone National Park. After a week of cross-country skiing to photograph the geysers, waterfalls and wildlife, we spent a few days in West Yellowstone, Montana. I had heard of the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center, an Association of Zoos & Aquariums-accredited wildlife park, and was excited to photograph their animals in realistic habitats. The center had one large bear enclosure where the staff rotated a combination of grizzlies for exhibition and enrichment throughout the day and two wolf enclosures housing separate packs. The day I visited the center, a storm with heavy snow was forecasted. With the weather in mind, my goal was to photograph the bears and wolves...

Sigma last year launched two wide-angle prime lenses for Sony E-mount and Leica/Panasonic/Sigma L-Mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG DN Art and the Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG DN Art. The 20mm prime is particularly noteworthy since it’s a somewhat unusual lens. Except for the Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG HSM Art for DSLR cameras, the Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG DN Art for mirrorless is the only 20mm F1.4 lens available for full-frame cameras. Nobody else makes a lens like this, including Canon, Nikon and Sony. There are 20mm F1.8 lenses but no 20mm F1.4 lenses. One of the most surprising things about this unique lens is that it retails for just $899. Read my hands-on review of the Sigma...

L-brackets are very helpful tools that are loved by many photographers of different genres, but for as long as we have been using them, imperfections in how they fit or work with certain cameras have been hard to ignore.

A few weeks ago, an intriguing "Coming Soon" tweet popped up in my Twitter feed, teasing the announcement of a new Rolleiflex digital TLR. I gave the tweet a like and followed the account since the idea of a twin lens digital camera sounded interesting, although strange, and thought little of it until the account issued another tweet titled "My Apology."

It's annoying, I know. You thought you had it figured out. You thought you'd ticked every box, but I guarantee you didn't. I certainly didn't and haven't to this day! The amount of gear we use as photographers is ridiculous. It makes even the smallest of shoots a test in organization, packing, loading, unloading, setting up, packing down, and remembering to do it all again. But there are some items that simply can't be ignored. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Michael Barrow)

Photo By Jeff Sullivan Today’s Photo of the Day is “First Strike” by Jeff Sullivan. Location: Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Nevada. “I was out to pursue photos of the Lyrid Meteor Shower, but I was treated to something even better: an active thunderstorm forming from sunset into the night!” says Sullivan. “I set up camp on the top of a mountain to capture clouds changing color at sunset, but I ended up capturing much more. The lightning continued for over an hour into the night, so I kept my cameras going while cooking dinner on a campfire nearby. This storm started as some nice clouds at sunset with a little rain coming down, but the clouds consolidated over time to become a...
