A couple wide angle “speed barriers” have just been broken, folks! What am I talking about? Well, Rokinon / Samyang / Bower have just announced new lenses, the most notable being a pair of crop-sensor / mirrorless lenses: The 10mm f/2.8 and the 12mm f/2.
Continuing with the recent “How We Shot It” theme of long exposures, today we have something quite different from last week’s 30 sec. sunset tide pool portrait. While shooting in broad daylight for 30 seconds or longer is a challenge because it requires a very dark neutral density filter such as a 9-stop or 10-stop ND, shooting on a moonless night at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is even darker!
Ray Flash has been out for a few years and have released version 2 which adds greater compatibility and drops price.
At Photokina 2012, Sigma announced three new lenses in a reorganization of it’s lens lineup. Since then, we’ve witnessed them establish a new confidence and respect in their brand as a top grade third party lens manufacturer. The first new lens that they released was the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens, and it didn’t take long for the early reviews and message board chatter to start raising eye brows.
Introduction Landscape and general outdoor photographers usually worry about one thing when it comes to their wide-angle lenses: Sharpness. As the saying goes, “F/8 and be there.” In other words, just do whatever you gotta do to get sharp, well exposed images and spend the rest of your energy on simply getting to the right …

Well, summer is here, and some of you might have some spare cash or a mid-year bonus that you’re looking to spend? Whatever the motivation, pretty much every lens manufacturer out there has decided to run a summer rebate. Â So here’s a collection of everything we could find! Note: The rebates listed below are through …
Well folks, Mirrorless has done it again. It has taken a digital photography concept that used to be obscenely large, heavy, and expensive, …and miniaturized it for just $499.
DXOMark just published their test of the Canon 1DX sensor. It has indeed taken the top ranking spot for any Canon DSLR sensor, however it is just a single point ahead of the Canon 5D mk3 sensor, which according to DXOMark’s testing info is 1/3 of 1/3 of a stop difference. And it is a whole 14 points behind the champion Nikon D800E
In this extensive hands-on review, I take a look at the Sony A99 full-frame DSLT camera. It is a very competitive, full-featured camera that has the sensor performance, noise control, color rendition, and more. This is the strongest camera yet from Sony.
The German electronic company Metz has just announced the new 52 AF-1 Flash Unit. What sets this speedlight apart from the others is that this is the first flash that incorporates a touchscreen panel.
In this article, we will talk about what aperture is primarily used for in photography, which is to control depth of field (DOF). Depth of field is the front-to-back zone in a photograph where objects appear acceptably sharp. We will cover both the shallow and deep depth of field, as well as the other factors that affect depth of field, aperture, distance between you and the subject, focal length, and the sensor size.
