Those fast f/1.0 Fuji lenses have been rumoured for a long time. Fuji Rumors posted about an XF 33mm f/1.0 lens that would offer a similar field of view on Fuji X cameras to a 50mm lens on full-frame way back in 2015. Then it was added to the Fuji roadmap in 2018, with price leaks

[embedded content] Photographer Serge Ramelli recently put together a fun tutorial that shows you how to do something that might seem, at first, impossible: he takes a daylight photo and, using only local adjustments, he turns it into a nighttime or “blue hour” shot complete with lamplight. The tutorial takes about 17 minutes in all,
The folks at Chinese accessory brand Digitalfoto have created an interesting new piece of lighting gear. They’re just released a pair of wirelessly-controlled RGB tube lights that are also IP68 rated: in other words, you can use them underwater.

Rumours of a potential entry-level full-frame Sony competitor to the Canon EOS RP and Nikon Z5 are not new.

A couple of months ago, automotive photographer Jack Schroeder and model Britni Sumida filed a lawsuit against car maker Volvo, accusing them of “willful and wanton” copyright infringement.

Canon’s had a rough go of it the past few weeks, but there are a couple of bright spots on the horizon. Reliable reports indicate that Canon is preparing to release two important things: new firmware for the EOS R5, and the much-anticipated RF 70-200mm f/4 lens. In case you haven’t been following the news,
According to a report on Canon Rumors, Canon is going to be releasing some firmware updates for the Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera.

A new report has surfaced confirming what we shared last week: Canon USA has been hit by the ‘Maze’ ransomware attack, and is suffering widespread technical outages across several major websites and internally as a result.

Just two weeks after releasing a $360 50mm f/1.2 lens for Canon, Nikon, and Sony cameras, lens maker Meike has just unveiled its very first autofocus lens: the ultra-affordable 85mm f/1.8 AF for Nikon and Canon DSLRs. The Meike 85mm f/1.8 AF lens was first ‘announced’ two years ago, but it’s now finally available to
It’s been a while since we first (and last) heard anything about Laowa’s OOOM 25-100mm T2.9 cine lens. We first found out about it early last year, and got to get our hands on one for a quick play during NAB 2019. It’s a mighty impressive lens, but it’s taken a minute for it to
Burnt trees line the Bruthen-Buchan Road, south of Buchan, Victoria. Over 30 million acres burned during Australia’s 2019-2020 summer of hell. That’s 12 times the recent Amazon fires and more extensive than ever before in recorded history. The intensity (how much heat was generated) and the severity (the amount of damage to vegetation) were both
When the coronavirus pandemic sparked lockdowns this spring, people around the world spent their time pursuing creative endeavors, from knitting to cooking. Online learning experienced tremendous growth, and hashtags like #IsolationCreation and #LockdownArt started trending on social media. People painted quarantine murals on their walls, formed virtual baking clubs, and, of course, organized indoor photoshoots.
Leica has officially stopped production of the CCD image sensor inside the Leica M9 series of cameras. As a result “defective sensors cannot be replaced” moving forward, and you’ll need to upgrade to an M10 or another Leica camera if this happens to you.

[embedded content] Over the past few weeks, a ton of reviewers have been comparing the new Canon EOS R5 against the new Sony a7S III, but for stills shooters this is the wrong comparison. That’s why photographer Matt Granger decided to compare the 45MP R5 against its most obvious high-res stills competitor: the 61MP Sony
Split double exposures can be a lot of fun. They essentially involve covering half of the frame and taking a shot and then covering the other half of the frame and taking another – both shots contributing to a single exposure. There are all kinds of ways you can do them, and Lomography even includes
Conservation photographer and wildlife tracker Jeff Wirth was reviewing the photos on a camera trap he had set up when he was surprised with this unexpected shot: an unknown man who had spotted the camera and decided to strike a pose. “I had noticed that there was bobcat scat on this log, so I set
The $399 Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 has been garnering attention for being a tack-sharp yet affordable portrait lens for Sony E and Fujifilm X cameras. It has now come to light that you can even turn it into a faster f/1.6 lens with a firmware update. It may sound too good to be true, but it
(It goes without saying that) This article is not sponsored or commissioned by Canon, this article represents what I really felt when using the Canon EOS R5 at concerts, and I don’t even intend to convince anyone to agree with me or buy the camera, it’s just my opinion. For the sake of this review,
The coronavirus pandemic has sparked an overhaul in advertising; in fact, a spring survey from the Association of National Advertisers suggests that 92% of marketers had already adjusted their creative messaging since mid-March.

[embedded content] Today we are taking a look at equivalency. Not equivalent exposure, equivalency. What the heck is that?

I wanted to shoot a conceptual photo using long exposure to show the SD card flying out of my camera and into the Gnarbox*. I used the cool Spiffy Gear Lumee RGB light to achieve this. Here is a quick breakthrough on how the show was made including the BTS, lighting, and gear used. Gear
