Canon 5DS First Impressions

July 4, 2015 By Nasim Mansurov 21 Comments

Canon 5DS Image Sample

I am back from the mountains, after spending a couple of days testing the new Canon 5DS DSLR (see all 5DS / 5DS R related articles here) and waiting for the 5DS R to arrive. Both cameras, without a doubt, are highly anticipated by Canon shooters (and not only) and...

Photographing in Iceland

July 3, 2015 By Spencer Cox 38 Comments

Fjord Horse

I still have Iceland on my mind. Over the past two weeks, I saw the greatest sunset and the strongest winds of my life; I walked through a pathless desert to the edge of a canyon, and I climbed a glacier lit by the midnight sun. Iceland is stark and surreal...

Third Party Battery Review – Watson and Wasabi Batteries

July 2, 2015 By John Sherman 38 Comments

Watson EN-EL18 Battery

For ages I’ve heeded the warnings from camera manufacturers that inserting non-OEM batteries into my camera could make the camera explode or at the very least give it a nasty case of shingles. But a year ago I purchased a Nikon D4s and wanted a spare EN-EL18 battery. The Nikon...

Nikon 500mm f/4E VR and 600mm f/4E VR Announcements

July 1, 2015 By Nasim Mansurov 135 Comments

Nikon 500mm f/4E VR

Nikon has just announced two highly anticipated super telephoto lenses for sports and wildlife photography, the AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/4E FL ED VR and the 600mm f/4E FL ED VR. After Nikon released the 800mm f/5.6E VR and the 400mm f/2.8E VR lenses, it was a matter of time before...

How to Create an HDR Panorama in Lightroom

June 29, 2015 By John Sherman 28 Comments

Verm-cylindrical2-Grand-Canyon-8973-2-HDR-2-Pano

Many times in my travels I’ve happened upon a beautiful scene spread wide before me with a huge dynamic range that just begged to be photographed. It would require HDR to capture the range but also need to be stitched together as a panorama. I’d set up my tripod, snap...

Sunday Stunts with the Olympus OM-D EM-5

June 28, 2015 By Alpha Whiskey 16 Comments

6 Monster Truck

There are probably more entertaining ways to spend a Sunday afternoon but this stunt display in a field in London was reasonably diverting. I had shot stunt shows before using a Nikon DSLR and the Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8. But I knew my EM-5 had only contrast detection AF and was not...

Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 Review

June 23, 2015 By Nasim Mansurov 48 Comments

Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 Pro FX

When I first got access to the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC lens (which we recently reviewed), I got curious about other potential lens options already available with the similar focal length range, build and fast aperture of f/2.8. After a quick search through our lens database, I found the Tokina...

Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2 Review

June 21, 2015 By Nasim Mansurov 22 Comments

Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2

Zeiss created the new Loxia line specifically for Sony, adding high-quality manual focus primes to the growing list of native lenses for the Sony FE mount. With the Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2 targeted for everyday use, the Loxia 50mm f/2 is a bit more specialized for such needs as portraiture,...

Oben CC-2361L Tripod Review: A Cure for My ‘Tripodiphobia’

June 20, 2015 By Thomas Stirr 11 Comments

cc2361L setup 5

Recently during the filming of a safety video project for a client I needed to capture some video footage looking straight down on a machine in operation. In order to film the required footage I used one of my existing tripods, which can be configured in a non-adjustable, lateral position....

LG G4 Camera Review

June 19, 2015 By Nasim Mansurov 42 Comments

LG G4

A couple of weeks ago, I posted some images without any embedded EXIF data here at PL. Along with the images, I provided a couple of clues about the camera to see if our readers would be able to figure it out. Although some of our readers did guess that...
