Is Shooting Wide Open Making Your Photos Flatter?

Background blur is usually the first effect you learn to create on purpose, and that early success tends to shape how you shoot for years. The settings you lean on, from aperture to shutter speed to exposure mode, decide whether your images feel flat or deep long before you open an editor.

Create Beautiful Portraits With One Lens and Simple Light

Crafting beautiful portraits with a simple camera and lighting setup is possible, and limiting our gear choices can lead to even more creative results.
In my latest YouTube video, I demonstrate how I use natural light, strobe, and continuous light to create portraits. Instead of focusing on a ton of gear, I use simple setups, starting with just a window, and then show how I can use one Westcott FJ100 M hot shoe flash and a Joel Grimes Beauty Dish, and later one Westcott L120-B continuous light with the same modifier, to create varied results.

Is the Nikon ZR Enough Reason to Switch to Nikon for Video?

Nikon now owns RED, and the first camera to come out of that deal is the Nikon ZR, a compact body that records RED's raw codec for a little over $2,000. If you shoot video for clients or your own films, that pairing puts a codec once tied to cinema camera budgets inside a body small enough to balance on a basic gimbal.

Is Samyang's Compact f/2.8 Zoom Set Worth Carrying?

Samyang's three f/2.8 zooms, co-designed with Schneider-Kreuznach, cover 14mm to 180mm on Sony full frame bodies while stepping away from the familiar 16-35mm, 24-70mm, and 70-200mm ranges. Trimming a few millimeters here and adding a few there is how a lens maker cuts size, weight, and price, and those are the things that decide whether a lens leaves your house or stays on the shelf.

Getty Images image number 53509740 is still on Getty's site today, and the caption still reads: "Two residents wade through chest deep water after finding bread and soda from a local grocery store after Hurricane Katrina came through the area on August 29, 2005 in New Orleans, Louisiana." An Associated Press frame of a young Black man in chest-deep water, carrying what looks like a case of Pepsi under one arm and a full garbage bag, said he was looting. Two decades of argument later, the disputed wording is still there.

How Nikon's Flagship 85mm f/1.2 Holds Up Against New Rivals

Nikon's NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S sells for close to $3,000 and weighs more than many of the bodies you'd mount it on. For about three years, it has been the obvious pick on Z mount if you want the thinnest depth of field and the cleanest portrait rendering, and now cheaper third-party 85mm f/1.2 lenses are showing up to test how long that lasts.

Every Leica shooter has a dream lens they would love to buy. Price is usually the obstacle, but sometimes that lens is not only expensive but rare as well. Perhaps no other Leica lens is more sought after than the Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 with the word “Aspherical” written in full on the rim. It is unlikely you will ever own this lens, but there is an alternative option in the form of the Light Lens Lab 35mm f/1.4 Aspherical “11873”.

Is the Nikon Z5IIC a Better Deal Than the Sony a7CR?

The Nikon Z5IIC puts a full frame sensor, in-body stabilization, and raw video into a $1,400 body by dropping the viewfinder, and people argued about that choice before most of them had held one. If you shoot weddings or travel, or if you're weighing a second body, the useful question is how that missing eyepiece and a pricier compact Sony rival play out over a real day of shooting.

Should Your Next Filmmaking Camera Be a Lumix?

Picking a camera system for video locks you into a mount, a lens lineup, and a manufacturer's release schedule for years, and the features a brand ships early tend to shape how you work long after the purchase. Panasonic's Lumix bodies rarely dominate filmmaking gear talk, even though several capabilities now drawing attention elsewhere have lived inside them for a long time.

The Most Important Camera Setting You're Not Using

Any modern digital camera has thousands of settings and more features than most individual photographers will ever use. But there are some settings that photographers of all genres can benefit from using. One of the most overused terms in photography is "game-changing." It seems like every time a new piece of gear is announced, whether it's a camera, lens, strobe, modifier, tripod, or lens cloth, someone is out there to tell you why you need it and why it's going to revolutionize your photography. Spoiler alert—it's not! And you probably already know that.

Is the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L Really the King of Portrait Lenses?

Ask a room full of people to name the best portrait lens, and most will point to something like the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM, with its reputation for sharpness, flattering perspective on faces, and heavy background blur. If you're about to spend serious money on portrait glass, ask whether that reputation fits the rooms you work in and the apertures you actually use.

The Great Tripod Debate: Twist Locks or Lever Locks?

You've noticed that tripods come with two basic kinds of locks: twist locks and lever locks. They're quite different. Which should you purchase? I'll tell you my experiences and observations.
Twist Locks
The Robus RC-5570 has high-quality twist locks.
I generally like twist locks, or collar locks, but I feel that you have to really go out of your way to make sure that they are locked down because occasionally, if you are not careful, they can slip.

DxO has been busy lately, updating its collection of apps, giving them new capabilities and gently using AI to keep the photographer in control while making editing easier.
Today, DxO is announcing ViewPoint 6, the latest version of its software for correcting geometry, perspective, and distortion. Version 6 brings AI masks to ReShape Fusion, the tool for adjusting the components of a scene from within the frame. Photographers can now concentrate a geometric correction on a single element of the scene instead of applying it across the whole picture.

If you carry a camera into the mountains for hours at a time, the choice between extra width, extra reach, and an extra stop of light shapes nearly every frame you bring home.

Should You Fix a Vintage Lens' Flaws in Lightroom?

Adapting a vintage lens to a mirrorless body gets you inexpensive, well-built glass with a look modern optics rarely have, and it also brings purple fringing, darkened corners, and lines that bow at the edges. Every one of those flaws can be pushed around in Lightroom, so each one becomes a decision about how much of the old lens you keep in the final file.

You arrive somewhere beautiful, raise the camera, and every frame comes back looking like a postcard someone else already took. Too much to look at can stall your composition faster than too little, and the fix often starts with seeing less of the scene through a viewfinder, a long lens, or an in-camera crop mode.

The Image Stabilization Rating on Your 2026 Camera Comes From a Shaker Table, Not a Human Hand

Canon rates the EOS R6 Mark III at up to 8.5 stops of stabilization at the center of the frame and 7.5 stops at the periphery, depending on the lens. The footnote under that number says it was measured under the CIPA 2024 standard with an RF 24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z at 105mm. The footnote leaves out that the camera was bolted to a vibrating platform roughly two meters from a printed chart, in a room held near 23 degrees Celsius, and that the rating comes from at least 200 frames shot at every shutter speed in the test.

Are Inflatable LED Lights Actually Any Good?

Inflatable LED lights are one of those ideas that sound gimmicky. A soft, glowing tube you inflate like a pool toy, then use to light a portrait or paint with color in the dark. It's the kind of gadget that could easily be all novelty and no substance. I wanted to answer a simple question for myself: do these things actually deliver usable results, or are they just a throwaway item destined for the back of a drawer? I tested the Neewer GC30C Inflatable LED Light to find out.

Fisheye lenses for medium format have been close to nonexistent, so if you shoot a Fujifilm GFX or Hasselblad body and want that look, you've usually had to adapt glass that doesn't cover the sensor properly.

Most of your time with a camera happens under ordinary skies at ordinary places, yet the landscape images that get the most attention online are blazing sunsets over famous viewpoints. That gap shapes what you think a successful outing looks like, and it can make the scenes you actually encounter feel like second best.

Do You Still Need One Career-Defining Photo?

For decades, a photography career seemed to hinge on one or two pictures, the frames that appeared in every magazine profile and forum thread until they became shorthand for the person who made them. If you've ever wondered whether your own work needs that kind of breakout image, your answer affects how you shoot, how you edit, and how you share everything else.

Canon's Craziest Lens Ever Just Appeared

Six-Tenths of a Second Separated Two Dallas Photographers in 1963, and Only One Won the Pulitzer

At 11:21 on the morning of November 24, 1963, Jack Beers was standing on a railing in the basement of Dallas police headquarters with a Mamiyaflex twin-lens reflex, and he tripped his shutter as Jack Ruby stepped into the open. Several feet lower and to his left, Bob Jackson released the shutter on a Nikon S3 six-tenths of a second later. Beers got Ruby walking; Jackson got the bullet.

Why Boredom Might Be the Best Thing for Your Street Photography

Most street photography outings involve long stretches where nothing worth photographing happens, and how you handle those stretches shapes what you bring home. If you've ever walked for two hours, felt the pressure build, and started shooting anything that moved, you already know the problem.

BenQ PD2732U Review: Could This Be The Monitor for Photographers?

When BenQ asked me if I would like to take a look at the new PD2732U monitor, I was interested because a monitor is something I spend a lot of time looking at, particularly when I am editing photographs. Color accuracy is obviously important to me, but so is how the monitor fits into my existing workflow.

Lumix S9, Fujifilm X-M5, or OM System PEN for Everyday Carry?

The Panasonic Lumix S9, Fujifilm X-M5, and OM System PEN sell at similar prices in 2026, yet each uses a different sensor format: full frame, APS-C, and Micro Four Thirds. If you're moving up from a phone to a camera you'll carry every day, that price overlap makes the decision harder than any spec sheet suggests.

How Sharp Is the Fujifilm XF 400mm f/4.5 on the X-T50?

Fujifilm's XF 400mm f/4.5 gives X-mount shooters the field of view of a 600mm lens on full frame, with an aperture about two-thirds of a stop brighter than the company's 500mm f/5.6. If you shoot birds or wildlife on Fujifilm, that extra light can be the difference between a usable shutter speed at dawn and a frame lost to motion blur.

Why Would Anyone Sell a Sony a7R V for Fujifilm APS-C?

Most side-by-side tests of APS-C and full frame end the same way, with differences that barely show up in the photos people actually print or post. Far fewer people act on that result, because selling a full frame kit means walking away from money already spent and from a long-held idea of what a serious camera is supposed to be.

Roughly 5 billion photos are taken every day, and anyone with a Midjourney account can now produce an image that looks interesting in seconds. With volume that high and a barrier that low, it becomes a practical question whether your own pictures carry anything that someone else's don't.

This Might Be the Last Camera Case You Ever Buy

The Protector 1510 Studio Case reimagines the toughness you’ve come to expect from Pelican. Is it worthy of its name? More importantly, is it worthy of the price?
“It’s no secret Pelican is the best. It’s also no secret they’re expensive.”
One of my greatly appreciated YouTube viewers summed up the core of this review before I could even get it written. There’s not a prize for that or anything, and I never judge for typos, nor is there a need to dance around the other giant elephant in the room.
