The post The Canon EOS R6 Mark II Is “in the Near-Term Pipeline” appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey.

Photo By Tom Elenbaas I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures, but it was the advent of digital photography and the ability to process my own images in Photoshop that really piqued my interest. As I assume is the case with most photographers, certain events marked a turning point in my artistic development. For me, one of those moments happened in May of 2014 when I attended my first photography workshop, run by Gary Hart and Don Smith and based in Yosemite National Park. One of the highlights of the workshop was when we made the trip to Glacier Point to photograph the full moon rising over Little Yosemite Valley. The far end of the viewing area looks out directly at Half Dome,...

Location: John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon. “Located in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, and formed by ash from volcanic eruptions in the Cascade Mountains, the Painted Hills are an otherworldly display of kaleidoscopic colors that tell an ancient story of cyclical climatic conditions,” explains Young. “Depending on weather and moisture, you can witness a large variety of light and colors here.
