How to Start With Fine Art Photography

The Best 70-200mm Zoom Lenses

Everyone has a favorite lens. It’s usually in a focal length that matches the way the photographer sees in his or her mind’s eye. We’ve heard of studies that show a human’s vision to be roughly equivalent to a 40mm lens on a full-frame DSLR, but we all focus on things within our field of vision a little differently. Some see in 20mm, and some see in 200mm. In addition to everyone “seeing” in a certain focal length, many of what we think of as traditional nature subjects seem to lend themselves to a particular range. At the confluence of these two phenomena is a lens that has become known as a workhorse for nature pros: the 70-200mm. Of course, we’re...Image of the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM

Remix Anyone?

I recently wrote about the new Recommended Preset feature added to Lightroom (Lr) cloud apps in the October 2021 release, but there’s another new Lr only feature that got slipped into the desktop (Mac and Windows) version of Lr as well. The new feature is called Remix, and it is totally unlike anything I’ve seen added before. What makes Remix so unique is that it gives you the opportunity to share certain edits of your photos through the Lr in-app community and let others take a stab at making their own edit to your photo. What, sacrilege, you say? I get it, as photographers we’re pretty protective of our babies, and that includes how they are treated in post processing. But,...

The Lightroom Masking Tool: A Guide to Lightroom’s New Masking Features

The post The Lightroom Masking Tool: A Guide to Lightroom’s New Masking Features appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Simon Ringsmuth. In October 2021, Adobe rolled out a software update that included a revolutionary approach to Lightroom masking. Previously, Lightroom had offered a basic but highly useful set of masking options, including the Radial, Graduated, and Brush filters, which were tweaked and refined over the years to meet the needs of most photographers. However, these old masking adjustments still relied heavily on you, the photographer, to create masks and then refine them with a set of sliders and options. But thanks to the power of algorithms and artificial intelligence, the October update boosted these tools into the...stone tower against mountains
