June 20, 2019 By Spencer Cox 27 Comments

Lightroom Watermark Dialog

If you want the highest quality final photo for any purpose, you need to be familiar with your post-processing software’s output settings.

Teton Sunset

Nikon 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR

This is an overview of the Nikon 500mm f/5.6E PF VR lens. It has been four years since I sold my favorite Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D lens. Since then, bird photography for me was just a waiting game until I got a new lens. My only lens which allowed me...

A Failed Landscape Photography Expedition

June 11, 2019 By Spencer Cox 42 Comments

Sunrise Gunnison Copper Lake

To be brutally honest - some plans are doomed to erupt in flames the moment they meet reality. That isn’t a surprise; the only twisted part is that we almost always know what’s about to happen, yet keep chugging along anyway. I found myself in that position last week while...

After two weeks and more than 2600 photos taken with Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 S, I wanted to share my initial impressions with this new Z-mount lens. Just in case you are impatient and want to hear my short verdict here: this is the best zoom lens I have ever used. Here...

How to Shoot and Stitch Panoramas with a Drone

June 3, 2019 By Nasim Mansurov 11 Comments

Final Multi-Row Panorama
