I upgraded my camera to the Canon EOS R5 last year and have since been shooting with my adapter ring and the EF lenses. If this sounds like jargon to you: let me catch you up to speed. Canon launched its first mirrorless camera in 2018, and the mount on the mirrorless cameras is different than the ones of the previous DSLRs. As a workaround, you can use an adapter ring to shoot with your older EF lenses on the new mirrorless cameras. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Michelle VanTine)

Adobe Super Resolution technology is the best solution I’ve yet found for increasing the resolution of digital images. It doubles the linear resolution of your file, quadrupling the total pixel count while preserving fine detail. Super Resolution is available in both Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Lightroom and is accessed via the Enhance command. And because it’s built-in, it’s free for subscribers to the Creative Cloud Photography Plan. Mears Peak from Box Factory Park, Mt. Sneffels Wilderness, Colorado. Shot with a 22-megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Super Resolution was developed by applying artificial intelligence to the task of resampling images. The software was fed millions of low-resolution images, which it up-sampled and compared to the original high-resolution images. Over time,...

When starting out in photography, we get busy trying to understand the basics: shutter speed, aperture, composition, etc. As we progress, we start to care about much subtler things, such as color reproduction, sharpness, and, of course, color accuracy. But is color accuracy just a myth? Let’s find out. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Illya Ovchar)

When it comes to often-neglected topics that deserve a lot more attention than they get, color theory has to be near the top of the list.

With Nikon and Canon starting to push quite hard in the professional mirrorless realm in the last few years, we have seen a resurgence of the development of professional supertelephoto lenses. Most such lenses have long been near the top of image quality and autofocus performance, so a lot of the focus has been on reducing weight and size while maintaining that performance and image quality. The Nikon NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S lens is the latest in that trend, and this great video takes a first look at what we can expect from it.

Photo By Brent Newman Covering 275 square miles of the Chihuahuan Desert in southern New Mexico, White Sands is the largest gypsum dune field on the planet. Designated on December 20, 2019, White Sands National Park incorporates about 41 percent of the dune field, with White Sands Missile Range encompassing the remainder. Runoff from the surrounding mountains transported dissolved gypsum into the Tularosa Basin, where gypsum crystals grew in mass quantities. Over time, the crystals weathered into sand-size grains and were deposited by the prevailing southwest winds to form the snow-white dune field. Perhaps more impressive than its geomorphological history is the park’s archeological history. Human footprints were recently found in White Sands National Park that date back to 23,000 years,...

A small, affordable prime lens with a relatively wide focal length can be tremendously useful (as long as it has the image quality to back it up), and at just $256 and 5.5 oz (155 g), the Nikon NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 lens certainly fits the bill. This great video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of sharpness and performance you can expect from it in real-world usage. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

Thursday, March 31st is World Backup Day, and I thought it would be a good idea to look at the process of how to use a Lightroom Classic catalog backup copy to get back to work. The two problems were trying to protect against by running the built-in catalog backup process are data loss (drive failure, accidental deletion, loss of computer, etc.) and data corruption in the catalog. Having a backup copy of the catalog can also give you a method to retrieve work from an old catalog after accidentally deleting it from your working catalog too (like accidentally deleting a saved book collection and wanting to get it back). A few years back Adobe added the step of compressing the...

Most street photography is shot at around 24mm or 35mm, but, of course, there is no reason you can't shoot it at longer focal lengths — even much longer if you so desire. This fun video follows a street photographer as he roams around Chicago, shooting at 200mm and showing just how different the photos look with such a distinctive focal length.
