One of the best-selling features of most modern cameras is the auto white balance. It allows people to shoot in any light, without the need to change the setting over and over. Auto white balance neutralizes colors, and sometimes, it is not what you need.…

The allure of black and white photography has been around for over a century. Despite the birth of color photography, image-makers have been looking at black and white photos as a tool to engage with the audience, showcase their vision, and even build a world…
There are plenty of photographers who have tried to push the envelope in ways one can't imagine. For instance, the use of water, earth, or smoke, has been prominent in building creative new photo projects. If you are someone who is looking to inspire…
There are several reports going around on how Tamron has confirmed that Sony has made a bid to purchase them — or at least to purchase most of the company. Sony is already a fairly large shareholder in Tamron and they have been for years. At the same time,…
Photographers have often looked for ways to create images that look fantastic in-camera. Some change settings as a means to create different photos, or some rely on building huge set-ups. If you can do any of this, then a lens filter is a good option. Here's…
If you just got a brand new camera, then you're probably looking at your camera's viewfinder and wondering exactly what you're looking at. Just know that even advanced users sometimes look at it and see that there's a ton of information. But you don't need to…
Around the world, compact cameras have seen an unlikely surge. Companies such as Canon, Nikon, and Sony are some brands that have introduced newer cameras to help photographers. If you are someone who wants a compact camera from Canada, here are some options…

The best reflection photographs rarely happen by accident. They happen when a photographer learns to see surfaces differently. A puddle after rain, a shopfront window, the polished hood of a car. These aren’t obstacles or backgrounds. They’re second frames…
Holger Nitschke works out of Oldenburg, Germany. He splits his time between analog and digital cameras, using both to feed the same instinct: strip a portrait down to light and shadow, and something honest usually surfaces. His 500px handle, lichtreize,…
A silhouette is one of photography’s oldest tricks and one of its most enduring. Strip a subject of texture, color, and detail, and what remains is pure shape against light. Done well, silhouette photography forces the viewer to fill in what they can’t see,…
One of the things that draws photographers towards macro photography is the ability to magnify worlds that are mainly lost to us, due to their small stature. One such world is that of small bugs and insects. When you start exploring it with a macro lens, you…

Until recently, I was convinced that I was a thoroughly patient person. As a wildlife photographer, for example, I’m a champion at staring at a bare, moss-covered branch or an empty stretch of water for hours on end. I can even accept it if it all leads…
The idea of using a portrait lens for bird photography was born in my mind the day Nikon unveiled the Plena 135mm f/1.8. It took quite a while, though—two years, nine months, and ten days, to be exact—before I finally managed to turn that idea into reality.
If I could speak to my beginner self, I would skip the technical side of photography and focus on more important blind spots that cost me years of wasted effort. Technical guides are everywhere, but understanding why you pick up the camera in the first place…
A comment on an old post accused me of photographing only women, and rather than let it sit, I want to take it apart, because the accusation says far more about how people look at images than about how I make them. What follows is less a defense than an…
The visual is cultivated through visions. It may seem like an oxymoron, but we often tend to overlook the importance of nurturing our ability to see. The perception of experience also stems from our cultural background. And if it's missing, we often fail to…
