Adobe has just released the final version of Lightroom 4.3, and it has support for the Canon 6D RAW files! Let the 6D CR2 testing begin! Also included is Retina Mac compatibility, and a few bug fixes.
Inspiration is very important to me when I try to come up with new concepts and ideas for my photos. Sometimes taking a look at other photographers and their work can do the trick. That is why, this week, I decided to compile a list of seven great photographers that have inspired me in the past, and will also hopefully inspire you.
While reviewing the Nikon D600 recently, I had so many different lenses and cameras on my hands that I decided to conduct a little side experiment. I wanted to prove whether or not a decent crop sensor ultra-wide lens could compete with an exotic full-frame sensor ultra-wide lens, when used for landscape photography and/or the pursuit of optimal sharpness and image quality…
Lens caps usually don’t make headlines, especially on the same day as a new Canon “L” lens and the first-ever stabilized normal prime. But I know there are a handful of Canon users out there who are shouting “FINALLY, CANON!”
One of the first things we noticed when we began testing the 5D mk3 was the un-explained, and to be honest downright annoying change in the way AF points illuminated during a “half-press” for autofocus / metering. Basically, ….the focus points don’t light up anymore. Not until AFTER focus ins confirmed in one-shot AF, and barely at all in AI-Servo mode.
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.
Taking panoramic photos is a fun and popular way to take widescreen photos of scenic landscape and architecture. The most important aspect of panoramic photo, however, is getting the best shots on camera. If you don’t take your time to set up your shots right, it will be difficult and sometimes almost impossible to fix it in post. Here is a checklist of what you should do in order to get the best panoramic shots.
The morning of the shoot I quickly tried to determine where I would be making my portraits. The only space available to me was an all black small studio with curtains and a giant window.
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.
The Panasonic GH3 is the flagship stills and video camera for the micro 4/3 eco-system. Boasting weather sealing, up to 1080p 60p, 3 command wheels, many direct buttons, optional battery grips, and wifi tethering, the GH3 is a very capable alternative to pro-spec DSLRs and has what it takes to meet the demanding needs of professional photographers and filmmakers.
In this SLR Lounge Original Editorial, we review and test to see just which AA battery is best for photographers and their flashes!
Today we are reviewing the new Pocket Wizard Plus III. Not only did Pocket Wizard introduce a handful of improvements, but they also lowered the cost of the trigger from $179 to $139.
The improvements include an integrated antenna, LCD display with battery indicator, grouping function, 32 channels, and a stronger shoe.
There have not been any issues with any of our Plus IIIs. This is why we are big fans of Pocket Wizard. They make good, reliable triggers.
