A 135mm lens is an ultimate portrait lens, and the Nikon Nikkor 135mm f/1.8 S Plena is an ultimate 135mm prime lens! Perfectly balancing performance, portability, and value, this Nikkor is, if I am not mistaken, only the second lens in Nikon’s mirrorless lineup to receive its own unique name. You can call her Plena! …
When the Nikon Z9 was first announced, it was obviously a game-changer. One of the first mirrorless cameras to be “full-body” flagship size, it stood out from the crowd by a huge margin. It offered virtually everything that a serious professional photographer could want, besides the built-in vertical grip: It gave both speed AND resolution. …
The original Sony A9 was an absolute game-changer for me. I remember the moment with total clarity; I took the A9 to a destination wedding in the Caribbean. It was the first time I was absolutely blown away by a mirrorless camera, and in a high-pressure situation no less. So, it is with great excitement …
AI has taken many industries by storm in recent years, and the world of photo editing is one of those realms! Today, we are going to talk about AI Photo Retouching. In previous articles, we discussed AI Photo Editing Options for things like color correction and stylized editing. We’ve also discussed The Best Photo Editing …
I’ve been waiting eagerly for the Nikon Z6 III to arrive, and it did not disappoint! 3-D Tracking, Blazing fast speed, and a fantastic price tag. This camera should give pause to serious professional photographers who might have been considering a camera that cost more than twice as much… Even before the Z6 II was …
Gone are the days when only large photography studios could manage enterprise-level workloads. Thanks to AI-powered tools like Aftershoot, solo photographers are now stepping into the role of one-person photography studios, handling millions of photos with ease. The result? More time to focus on creativity, family, and business growth. So far in 2024, photographers around …
Most external flashes are way too big to ever be called “portable” enough to be “pocket-sized”. On average, a “compact” hotshoe flash is still large enough that you’re simply not going to bring it with you unless you have a camera bag to carry it in. For this reason, we’re very excited to create this …
One of the hardest parts of editing photos is correctly editing anything related to the human form, especially faces. Why is this a challenge? Because we as humans are very good at noticing when something about our own faces does not look right! This is why, just 1-2 years ago, it was not a good …
Hot take: the most exciting thing about mirrorless cameras is not the cameras themselves, it’s the lenses! In my opinion, the unique, exotic lenses that have become possible thanks to the unrestrictiveness of mirrorless mounts are the biggest reason I stopped using DSLRs over the last decade. Indeed, we have seen all kinds of new …
Today we are reviewing an editing software that is aimed at professionals, but suited for entry-level photographers and hobbyists alike. I’m talking about Aperty, a new AI software from the folks behind Luminar Neo. And, no, Luminar is not going anywhere! Aperty is a very specialized software that is all about portraits. (Considering how many …
Film photography has been making a comeback in recent years, with many people rediscovering the joys of using analog cameras. However, one challenge of film photography is the need to digitize film images for sharing and storage. This is where a negative film scanner (or a 35mm slide scanner) comes in handy! In this article, …
The folks at Luminar Neo have released another major update to Luminar Neo, 1.21, and we’re reviewing it today!
