Nikon AF-S VR 105mm f2.8G IF-ED Macro Lens

The lens that I’ve been using the longest as a photographer is the Nikon 105mm f/2.8G Macro – the F-mount lens, that is. Nikon has been selling it since 2006, and in that time it’s gained a lofty reputation (not just among macro photographers, either). Today, I’m reviewing it in full.

Interesting landscape photo of light and clouds at sunset

Composition, as it’s usually explained, is the way you arrange the visual elements within a photo. But that definition misses something. A large portion of what’s important when composing a photo isn’t within the photo at all. Instead, it’s the bits outside the frame that are completely excluded from the image.

High Resolution Mode Panasonic S1R Example

I remember when I was starting out in photography how I looked upon the Nikon D3X in wonder. I could never afford it, but 24 megapixels! Can you imagine? Of course, some medium format cameras at the time had more, but they were as far away from me as the moon.

Sony A7R III

It's May Day, the celebration of spring! The snow has remained here only on the highest mountain peaks and where it managed to hide from the sun's rays. For the last time today, the children and I threw snowballs at each other. Today I saw some beautiful butterflies flying among...

Clovers_Backlit_Sun

Quick question: what's more complicated, buying a house or getting married? Answer: neither, it's buying a camera! That's right, and I wrote this guide because if you don't go about it right, then one day you'll realize you've made a horrible mistake and you'll give up photography. Okay, that could...

Dynamic range is the ratio between the strongest and weakest signal measured in a given context. For example, the dynamic range of a camera sensor is the ratio between the brightest and darkest signal that can be captured in a single image. Like most other things in photography, dynamic range...

Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM

It's early morning and I'm sitting in the shelter to photograph the love story of... but why reveal it now? Can you tell from the attached photo at the end of this article what bird I'm targeting? But as it is with wildlife photography, most of the time you just...

SmallRig 220 Series LED Lights Review

April 24, 2022 By Alex Coleman 1 Comment

SmallRig_220_Light-9

I’ve loved SmallRig’s camera support gear for years. While I most associated their brand with the high quality cages and L-plates that I’ve put on each of my last few cameras, I was surprised to see that they have branched out into lighting. Do these new light products continue the...

Groundhog_Up_close_portrait

It's impossible to read about cameras and not encounter the terms "pixels" and "megapixels." Nowadays most cameras have 20 megapixels (MP) or more, and there are some monstrosities with 100MP. I still have memories of walking into camera shops as a teenager and seeing the higher end models having 2...
