Let’s be honest: getting your tripod level can be a tedious, time-consuming process. It can also make or break an outdoor photo. Missing out on great light as you fumble with a tripod’s legs while trying to get the horizon straight can be extremely frustrating, which is why the new Benro Theta is so innovative. The world’s first auto-leveling travel tripod, Benro Theta is smart, sleek and a real photo saver. With a traditional tripod, photographers need to manually adjust each leg based on the terrain they’re shooting on. If you’ve ever shot on a snowy or rocky slope this can be a challenge. Furthermore, you need to keep your eye on a sometimes hard-to-see bubble level on the tripod. In...

The Fujifilm X-H2S—which since its introduction has been joined by the higher-resolution X-H2—is a fascinating successor to 2018’s X-H1. At that time, the Fujifilm X-H1 was an outlier in the Fujifilm X Series lineup. The camera was larger, featured a bigger grip and sported a large information display on top. It looked like a hybrid between the GFX series and the X Series. “Hybrid” is a fitting word since the X-H1 was also Fujifilm’s most “hybrid” camera yet. The new flagship camera was the first X Series camera to include in-body image stabilization and the first to record DCI 4K video with internal log (F-log) recording. Enter the Fujifilm X-H2S ($2499), Fujifilm’s highest-performance X Series camera ever. Speed is the name...

Photo By Bill Sisson Today’s Photo of the Day is “Ricketts Glen” by Bill Sisson. Location: Ricketts Glen State Park, Pennsylvania. “Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania features more than 20 waterfalls scattered along hiking trails,” says Sisson. “To capture this image, I had to place my camera about 18 inches above the water. The low camera placement is essential to hiding a footbridge that’s just behind the top of the waterfall. The low angle also helps emphasize the white water in the foreground. In shooting waterfalls in Pennsylvania, I often try to have an eye-catching foreground with lines leading to the waterfall in the mid-ground and trees in the background. This is a two-exposure blend. I took a 30-second exposure...
