When this camera was first teased last October, my mind was stuck somewhere between “wtf?” and “this is so crazy, it just might work!”. They made the camera sort-off official a few days later by releasing some early specs, which just made me even more confused at this odd combination of tech. Since then, it’s all been a little quiet on the Yongnuo front. But now, the folks at Cinema5D had the chance to chat with Yongnuo about the new camera during CP+ 2019 and hold one in their hands....

If you’re a fan of Ansel Adams’ work and you have around a million bucks to spare, Sotheby’s is soon launching a tempting auction. On 14 December, a collection of over 100 Adams’ iconic prints are going up for sale. The absolute star of the collection is an early print of 1941 Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, created before the photographer edited the negative. Since it’s so rare, it’s expected to reach the price between $700,000 and a staggering $1,000,000....

Kodak seem to be making great efforts with regard to film lately. They still seem to struggle with the digital world, though. Ok, so Kodak is a shadow of its former self, commonly just licensing its name to the highest bidder. But, you sometimes have to ask, what’s the point? For those who’ve never heard of Archos, they make a line of low budget mediocre Android tablets. They also used to make a not terrible range of portable photo backup devices (whatever happened to those?...

If you’re searching for a phone game that lets you have fun, learn lots of new things, and it has cute animals – search no more, because you’ve just found it. Unseen Empire is based on an ongoing, decade-long camera trap study. The massive study has been conducted by Professor David Macdonald and his team at the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) at the University of Oxford....

Good photos are instrumental in the animal rescue/shelter world. You only get one chance to have the animal make their first impression on a prospective adoptive pet parent. Poor photos can literally be the death of adoptable animals. In this article, I will give my top 10 tips for better animal rescue shelter photos, designed to melt the hearts of the potential adoptee. When at all possible, I highly recommend using a DSLR camera in order to produce the best results....

Chromatic aberration (CA) can be a pain, especially in high contrast situations. It’s also called colour fringing. It’s most common in inexpensive consumer lenses, but pro glass is not immune. Shooting at extreme wide or tiny apertures can introduce it quickly even with the best gear. You can take care of most chromatic aberration within Lightroom or ACR. Sometimes, though, only Photoshop can do the job well. In his new video, Jimmy McIntyre’s going to show you five different ways of dealing with it....

Although not as popular as they once were, due to the daily grind of platforms like Instagram, 52-week projects are still out there. And they’re great for those of us that might’ve just got our first camera, or for those who just want to try and push ourselves to take on new challenges. This Project 52 challenge coming from Dale Foshe at Dogwood Photography, is now in its fourth year....

Are you feeling a little bored with your instant photography? Looking for new things to try? Well, here comes the Cooperative of Photography with a few suggestions to spice things up a little. Some of the techniques suggested in the video are common with digital photography, but not so much with analogue. Over the past couple of decades, we’ve seen a lot on the film to digital transition. How shooting on film has influenced digital, and so on....

On August 4, a family who visited Prittlewell Priory Museum in Southend, UK damaged an 800-year-old sandstone coffin. I bet you can guess why – to take a photo. The parents lifted their child over the barrier so he could reach the coffin. This is when a part of the artifact fell from its stand and a chunk of it broke off. To make things worse, the visitors didn’t report the damage to the staff....

We’ve all had one of those days: you want to take photos, you need to do it, but you feel like the inspiration has deserted you forever. Even famous photographer Bob Holmes feels like this sometimes. But fortunately, there are ways to overcome it, and he shares his methods with you. These techniques will help you get inspired again and improve your photos in an instant. 1. Look at lines When your mind wanders and you can’t seem to focus on photography, try looking at lines....

Lots of us still shoot and develop our own film, but many limit themselves to black and white, at least when it comes to DIY developing. C41 colour film is perceived as a complex process that requires an expensive Jobo or other specialised equipment. Well, Michael Raso and John Fedele from the Film Photography Project are here to show you that this simply isn’t true in their new video using their C41 Home Developing Kit....

From time to time, camera manufacturers issue special edition models of their gear. But this Nikon D500 “Rex Edition” is the most unique so far. A German Shepherd named Rex munched on this camera, which was bought only a day before. As a result, there’s one pretty unusual model of Nikon, to say the least. And what’s even more unusual – the camera is still working. The video comes from a Belgian camera store PCH, demonstrating a camera treated by the dog’s sharp teeth....

Trail cameras can tell us a lot about animal behavior and habits. They sometimes capture charming and utterly hilarious sights, and recently, there was quite a remarkable one. A trail camera in Papua New Guinea filmed an extremely rare and critically endangered black-naped pheasant-pigeon. The bird isn’t only super-rare, but this is the first time it has been spotted since its discovery – which was in 1882! The team behind Search for Lost Birds had been on a mission to find the bird for a month before it was finally caught on camera....

Whether or not you’ve been following the camera news sales over the last 18 months or so, it probably comes as not much of a surprise that camera sales have been way down. Sales weren’t looking great even before the planet was hit with a global pandemic which saw production go down around the world as well as demand. But the latest figures from CIPA show that while we’re not back up to 2019 levels yet, the data so far for 2021 looks like the industry might be starting to make something of a recovery, with sales significantly higher than the same time last year over a four-month period leading up to July....

There are plenty of ways to take photos of snowflakes. Some are complicated, some are simple, and some are DIY to the max. Photographer Chrissy Kerkhof shared with us a very simple setting she used to take clear and crisp snowflake photos. It takes only one additional piece of gear to the lens and the camera. The gear Nikon D5200 Nikkor 70-210mm f/4-5.6 Raynox DCR-250 Settings The background for snowflakes is a woolen scarf....

I’m a fan of crime series, and I always try to figure out which camera the forensic photographers use in them. So it made me chuckle to realize that those in Trigger Point use a 1990 Zenit, even though the plot is set in the present day. Although I don’t watch this series, other photographers apparently do, since I stumbled upon this on Kosmo Foto. Photographer David Collyer sent them a photo of his TV screen while watching an episode of Trigger Point, and it clearly shows the photographer shooting with a Zenit camera and an old Vivitar-branded hot shoe flash....

Starting on 16 April 2018, the price of Adobe Creative Cloud subscription will increase for certain subscription plans. On your renewal date, you will need to pay more for the plan you’re using. But there’s the good news too: Creative Cloud Photography plan remains the same. If you’re paying for a different subscription plan, you’ll see the price increase with your next renewal. In an email sent to DPReview, Adobe has confirmed the upcoming price increase for their subscription plans....

Adobe has just launched its latest update to Lightroom Classic CC 2019, with a couple of cool new features. One is the new Enhance Details feature (probably nothing like CSI), and they’ve added support for more cameras and lenses, as usual. But the other major highlight of the update is “Faster tethering for Nikon cameras”. Except, in the new features announcement summary for Lightroom Classic CC 2019 (v8.2), Adobe highlighted this particular feature using an image of a Fujifilm X-T20....

Adobe’s been getting a lot of press lately. Some good, but mostly bad. It’s caused a lot of people to become very upset, particularly people on Twitter who don’t understand what the word “subscription” means and think they’re still buying a perpetual license. Regardless, it’s bound to have lost Adobe a few subscribers. To help draw in some fresh ones, though, Adobe is knocking 40% off the “All Apps” package in at least the USA and the UK....
