Photographer Michael Shainblum is known for some truly impressive landscape images and in previous videos has strongly advocated for the use of telephoto lenses. In this 10-minute video, he shows how he captured two days worth of images with mainly a Sigma 100-400mm.

Between 2008 and late 2016, I took tens of thousands of pictures and proudly vomited the vast majority of them online. While I’d toyed around with things like depth of field and long exposures, I didn’t understand anything about photography, so my camera rarely left ‘auto’. petapixel.com »

I’d argue that nearly all of us owned a speedlight at some point before we owned a studio strobe. When we’re looking to dip our toes into supplemental lighting, strobes seem like a big investment. It just makes sense to pick up a cheap speedlight to play with, right? Like many others, I did the […] petapixel.com »

I last visited Venice a long time ago, and all I could remember were the crazy crowds. It’s no wonder, because I visited in the summer. Last weekend, I decided to visit Venice in the winter with my girlfriend. petapixel.com »

Just last month, Apple released yet another commercial full of stunning videos, all purportedly "shot on iPhone." YouTube tech blogger Marques Brownlee thought it looked a little too good to be true, and once he stopped to read the fine print at the end of the ad, the investigation was open. boredpanda.com »

I took the best photo of my life today. I came down from the mountain and loaded it up on my computer. When I brought the photos up on my screen, they were just trees. Bummer. But it felt so good; looked so good on my camera’s LCD. What’s the deal with that? Editor’s note: […] petapixel.com »

Digital Photo Pro recently sat down with Sekonic rep, photographer, and educator Lorenzo Gasperini to discuss why light meters are still essential tools. Gasperini stresses the importance of using a meter and how it accurately informs him of what his exposure reading will reveal about what he’s getting in the highlights and shadows of his photograph. thephoblographer.com »

Up until recently, most introductory photography classes in colleges and universities still taught students the basics of the medium using film and darkroom processes.
Starting out in photography can be really confusing. There is so much stuff to learn, so many things to do, and so many resources to read, not to mention the insane amount of people screaming opinions at you all the time.
The straight-on angle is great for food photography because it gives your subject a sense of grandeur and can make it jump out of the picture. This angle is well suited to foods that are tall or layered as from this angle you can get a better idea of its scale or better reveal those […]
We live in a time when our technology and camera gear usually work extremely well and reliably… Until it doesn’t. Randomly. And at the worst time. When that happens, you’re left feeling unprepared and stressed which is something that none of us enjoy.
Ever since the beginning of the pandemic (and, really, the beginning of photography) macro photography tutorials have all sort of blended together. The subject matter and techniques are often pretty similar: flowers, bugs, coins, etc.
Landscape photographer Mark Denney recently stumbled across an old folder full of “favorite” images from a few years back. At first, he was just enjoying seeing the progressed he’d made over the years, but then he noticed something: “As I reviewed these images, I noticed the same three compositional mistakes repeated over and over.” In […]
