Given Canon’s previous commitment to pursuing DSLRs alongside their new full-frame EOS R mirrorless line, this proves to be quite interesting if true. Canon Rumors says they’ve been told that Canon has scrapped plans for at least one new DSLR in favour of a mirrorless alternative. Whether or not it’s true is another matter, but it would be a smart move. Certain Canon cameras like the 5DS and 5DSR, for example, are getting a little long in the tooth now, and about ready for replacement....

USA-based landscape and nature photographer Brent Clark has won the 2022 Natural Landscape PhotographyAwards. His images of sweeping sands and autumn forests wowed judges with their slightly abstract feel and cohesive umber color palette. The award is the very first international photography competition of its kind. Now in its second year, the competition was created to promote the very best landscape photography by digital and film photographers who value realism andauthenticity in their work....

Last year, Sekonic put out a questionnaire on their Twitter feed asking if anybody was interested in them looking into the possibility of creating a Godox module for their light meters. It was suggested at the time that the two possible options for a Godox module would be their flagship L-858D and L-478D light meters. It’s been pretty much radio silence ever since, though. Until now. After a user commented on one of Sekonic’s posts on their Facebook page that they were having issues getting their Sekonic L-858D-U light meter to talk with their Godox AD600, Sekonic responded with some positive news....

Shooting in one manual mode is one of those “You’re not a real photographer if you don’t…” kinds of things. It has been for years and it’s a constant debate whenever you jump into photography groups on social media. And while I personally believe it’s important to understand how to shoot in manual mode, I don’t think actually shooting in manual mode all the time (or even most of it) is essential....

Last month, DIYP made the visit to NAB 2019 in Las Vegas. While I was in the neighbourhood, I decided to head to Arizona for a couple of weeks after the show ended. I’ve always wanted to explore the desert, and this was my chance! With me, I took Sigma’s “Big Three” f/2.8 Pro zoom lenses – the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 Art, Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art and Sigma 70-200mm f/2....

Do you let your clients have the unedited photos along with the edited ones? Do you think that’s the way to go or it’s a huge no-no? There are different opinions on this topic. In this video from Adorama, David Bergman discusses why you should and shouldn’t sell your RAW files to clients. First of all, when your clients ask for a “RAW” or “original” file, they may not really mean the uncompressed CR3 or NEF file....

Sigma has announced three new lenses for Canon’s APS-C EOS M series cameras. The new EF-M lenses are Sigma’s 16mm f/1.4 DC DN, 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM and 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lenses, previously only available for Sony E Mount and Micro Four Thirds. And a mount conversion service is coming for any users who might already own these lenses in either of those mounts. The three lenses are part of Sigma’s existing collection but in a new EF-M mount flavour....

We’ve seen a lot of action cameras that packs a lot of gimmicky features, but Sionyx’s Aurora is the first ever to incorporate color night vision. Since it launched its Kickstarter campaign, it’s received a lot of interest and reached its $50,000 goal in just four hours. The design alone makes the Aurora different from the rest of the action cameras in the market today. Instead of adopting a GoPro-style body, it looks more like a really tiny camcorder....

The Sony A7 IV has been shipping and already gotten into the hands of a lucky few judging from the posts I’ve been seeing on Facebook lately. A lot of people are still waiting, but yet more are still on the fence. Is it worth upgrading my Sony A7 III? If I don’t have either, is it worth the extra to get the A7 IV or just wait until the A7 III is discounted?...

After Associated Press and a few other outlets, The Canadian Press has now also formed a partnership with Sony. In other words, the photojournalists working for this media outlet will only use Sony mirrorless cameras to do their work. The Canadian Press is a trusted news source in Canada and it has existed for over a century. It employs more than 180 journalists and it’s the exclusive Canadian distributor of international news from the AP....

Microphones come with a whole lot of technical and confusing sounding specifications. Ultimately, what matters to people most is how they sound. But not all sounds are created equally, nor are all microphones. Different types of microphones and different specs of the same type of microphone handle certain sounds better than others, and some are just better built. Understanding those specs can give you some idea of microphone suitability for your video and audio projects before you’ve even heard them, but what do they all mean?...

Just when you think you’ve seen all LED lighting panels that the world can have, here comes a new LED light that makes you open your wallet again. Spekular is an all-in-one lighting panel that in addition to being a “panel” can also be a ring, a strip, an octa and even a star (how do you like them catch-lights?).Advertisements The idea is quite simple and will probably be familiar to anyone that likes playing with LEDs....

If you post your photos on social media and critique groups asking for opinions: well, you should stop doing that if you want to improve. This is what Joe Edelman argues in his latest video, so let’s see how the opinion of others can slow your progress down instead of improving it. Joe made a social experiment: he took two glamour headshots and posted them along with the BTS photos to 32 different Facebook groups....

An odd thing that’s happened over the years as film has transitioned over to digital and the rise of social media has had a huge impact on all our lives. Most photographers, including most of the ones that work with real clients, are shooting based on what they believe other photographers will think of their images. And, well, you really shouldn’t. It’s easy to understand how photographers can slip into this mode on social media when most of our “friends” are also photographers....

When they’re super-excited about something, many people post about it on social media. So naturally, people have been sharing the news about their COVID-19 shots. They post selfies taken during the vaccination itself, but many of them also post photos of their vaccination cards to share the good news. But there’s more than good news you might be sharing with the world, experts warn. If you share photos of your vaccination card, you risk having your identity stolen....

Canon’s known for being a little strange at times, but this one seems pretty weird, even for Canon. At least one silver and black 1DX Mark III appears to exist according to a low resolution leaked photo on Canon Rumors. They modified the image to remove the photographer, but it’s an odd-looking camera indeed. Canon has made silver DSLRs before, but it’s usually their low-end entry-level kit, not their $5K+ flagship models....

Leica, Nikon, DxO… These are only some of the companies offering free photography courses to attend while you’re in isolation. Sue Bryce Education has just joined the list and unlocked their entire library, offering 300 courses for free. They’ll be available this week only, so if you’ve been planning to attend a photography course – now’s a great time to start. The entire Sue Bryce Education Library is free starting from 20 April until 26 April, so you have slightly under 6 days left to join....

Zombies? Maybe not the first mental image when you think about photographing a wedding, but humor me for a minute in this just for fun blog. Who knows it might help you survive your next event. Make an alliance I will never willingly do another wedding without a second shooter. Someone on your six is everything when it comes to surviving the night and capturing all sides of the special day....

Like many people, I haven’t always been the biggest fan of Ken Rockwell over the years. But it’s Christmas Eve, and I’m in a relatively festive mood, so here we go. Ken has put out a video on the history of Nikon lenses that’s actually got some quite interesting information about it. It starts way back at Nikon’s beginnings 100 years and goes right up to the modern Z mount lenses....

Tamron has announced their newest lens, the 24-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD zoom for full-frame Sony E-Mount cameras. The “category-disrupting” description is Tamron’s, by the way, not mine, although it is a pretty unique set of focal lengths for a full-frame lens. Tamron says that it’s designed for shooting both stills and video and incorporates their VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) autofocus drive system for silence and speed. They also say that the 20-40mm f/2....
