When I first got started in medium format film photography, I found it pretty confusing. But I, like many of you, was basing it off of the digital photography formats available. This can get even more confusing for digital photographers getting into film. So we’ve got a tutorial video that should sort it out.
In terms of compact fixed lens cameras, one of the best out there right now is the Panasonic LX100 series, and for those interested you can get it for a great deal! Normally around the $800 mark this killer compact camera is currently on sale for under $550, but hurry, this one likely won’t last long.
Jayanta Roy’s Himalayan Odyssey photo series surely reminds us that you don’t need the Golden Hour to create fantastic landscape photos. According to Jayanta, he developed the series over a year of travelling. Now just imagine that for a second: you’ve been travelling a whole lot and you’ve accumulated a whole load of images: what’s going to make you choose the final photos for your portfolio? Luckily, Jayanta did a fantastic job not only with shooting the photos, but also getting really inspiring black and white photos of the the mountain range.
Have you been thinking about getting into more studio photography, be it portraits, still life, product, etc? As we have done now for a few other photograph niches, in this post we will be taking a look at studio photography and some of the essentials to have at your disposal besides the obvious cameras and lenses.
Sometimes the best camera is the one you have one you. But these are better I’m sure.
Hi everyone, Since 2010, we’ve been curating a special of the single best budget lens offerings for all the camera manufacturers on the market. Today, we’ve updated that guide quite a bit to include a number of other lens offerings. You can check out the guide right here. This list has been updated to include …
There are loads and loads of film emulations that have been more or less copied with presets for Lightroom. Everyone has their own interpretation, and for the most part if you ask any film photographer, they’ll tell you that they don’t look like film. At the same time though, there are film emulsions out there that really don’t look like anything that can possibly be replicated in digital.
Something that has always been in the back of any camera lens lover is how well do the older lenses hold their own against the newer lenses. Indeed, older lenses have a special character to them that can’t really be replicated with most modern lenses sans the offerings from Lomography and Lensbaby. While most 35mm film format lenses were designed with an appeal for more consumers than professionals, medium format was always more of the cream of the crop (with exception to large format.)
Very recently, I got a chance to visit Sony’s factory in Thailand and to tour what goes into making each camera and lens. Admittedly, so much is going on that it’s kind of confusing–with the lenses perhaps being the simplest to explain. We were allowed to shoot very specific video and photos of the process as it happened.
We have already shared our thoughts on some of the best lenses out there for full frame cameras like the Canon 5D Mark IV, but what about lenses for the Canon APS-C based EF-S cameras like the rebels, 80D,and 7D Mark II? There is no doubt some overlap, but there are some great lenses that we would recommend for the APS-C based cameras that are different from their full frame brethren. So lets get into it.
