In our previous explorations of Mark Broyer’s beautiful night photography, we’ve seen what he has captured in the dreamy hours between dusk and dawn. In his After Hours series, the Hamburg-based photographer captured his city’s vibrant alter-ego as the rest of the city has gone quiet in sleep. Meanwhile, in his What the Fog series, the city seems to take on a more moody character during foggy nights. The most recent of this series takes us around the harbor, where the scenes were a little bit different but still eye-catching.
Tamron has officially confirmed that they are aware of autofocus issues present in their recently released 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD lens for the Sony full-frame mirrorless ecosystem. The lens was announced back ahead of WPPI to great fanfare along with a ton of other third-party FE lenses. Tamron made it a point to say that their lenses would feature full native functionality on E Mount cameras and that users would be able to expect native lens performance.
Perhaps one of the most anticipated cameras for many photographers could be the new Mint InstantKon RF70. I’ve personally wanted a camera that could shoot Fujifilm Instax Wide emulsions and give me full manual controls for many years. That’s here now; and I genuinely hope that it prompts both Lomography and Fujifilm to get with it. I’ve been personally playing with the Mint InstantKon RF70 for around tow weeks now and we’ve known about it for many months. Today, MiNT is releasing all the details.
When you’re shooting in a studio, you’re typically also working with different lighting equipment which are often either constant light or flash. The key to making great shots in the studio is knowing when it’s best to use one over the other. Learn how the pros do it in an in-depth lesson from Adorama TV’s On Set with Daniel Norton.
The next time you post an artsy snap of your cappuccino on Instagram, you might wonder, how many times had someone else sat on the very spot you’re sitting on, took the exact same photo of a cappuccino, and posted it on social media. Turns out that the answer is many countless times. All these similar photos may primarily be a stark reminder that none of us are as original as we think. But, more interestingly, they also piece together a city’s digital identity. From the hundreds of similar snaps of a single landmark, to thousands of cappuccinos and dishes posted by foodies visiting the same cafe, we can get to know and map a city through the innumerable social media posts that all look the same.
At several points in our lives, we encounter people who believe they are absolutely great at what they do despite overwhelming evidence that their output is terrible. It manifests in many areas of our lives but it’s especially prominent in anything that involves work. And yes, that includes photography, whether you’re doing it professionally or as a hobby. In an insightful and introspective video, London-based photographer Jamie Windsor explores why some bad photographers think they’re good, and what we can do to avoid falling into that trap.
In need of a new camera bag and still haven’t picked one? Peak Design’s popular Everyday Messenger bag could be worth considering, especially since the company has added some interesting upgrades.

When we talk about Seoul, it’s almost always more about the food, pop culture, and shopping that comes to mind. Architecture isn’t commonly the first to get mentioned. However, Estonia-based photographer Andrés Gallardo Albajar reveals that South Korean capital is actually peppered with many architectural elements that have interesting lines, curves, and shapes.
Heads up, underwater photographers and videographers, you might want to dive deep into this news. Underwater robotics specialist Navatics has recently introduced the Navatics MITO, an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) which is equipped with 4K video recording capabilities and advanced active stabilization technology. With this new underwater drone, Navatics aims to make marine videography accessible both for consumers and professionals alike.
With the Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6’s arrival on the scene, Fujifilm I feel has created a respectable Instax Square camera. When the SQ10 was released, I was very hesitant. I’m not a fan of a digital photo being printed onto an Instax frame from the camera. By and large, I prefer full pass through of light through the lens to the film plane. Somehow, Fujifilm was able to create it in a compact form factor that is also very stylish. In many ways, the Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6 is what the Instax Mini 90 is but with the Square format.
