There are people out there who love to take what doesn’t belong to them—especially your camera gear.
I have installed a quick release plate to my camera that carries an Airtag. Just in case. I may get some more Airtags for my Camera bags. Just in case.
Tom Northup, a fantastic photographer and influencer, is asking you to stop using the viewfinder and start using the rear screen.
I personally love the viewfinder. Like Tony explains, when you are shooting mostly wildlife or sometimes sports, it's hard to focus using the rear screen. But I see his points. I may give it a try.
You can get a MacBook Air for a fraction of the price—and still enjoy Apple’s 1-year warranty!
According to KEH, the used camera and lenses store that I trust, here are the best DSLRs for under $500.
Why don’t photographers charge camera batteries by connecting the camera to a USB charger?
Cameras get hot, especially when shooting video — and when they do, they can overheat and stop working until they cool down. When you're charging a battery — whether it's your camera or your phone — the battery generates heat. See the issue? By charging the battery inside the camera using a USB cable, you're adding more heat, which can shorten the amount of time the camera can operate while recording video.
It's not about Birds, a Portrait or a Landscape. My most popular photo according to Flickr is...
But why? The rich, vibrant red hues grab attention and evoke strong emotions like passion and warmth. The close-up reveals intricate textures of the petals, adding depth and interest. The tight framing focuses the viewer’s eye on the beauty of the flower without distractions. The contrast between the petals and the yellow stamens creates visual interest. Flowers inherently appeal to our sense of aesthetics due to their organic, symmetrical forms.
These elements combine to create a visually captivating image.
Last weekend I shot a Karate Event. I took more than 2000 pictures! I was using shooting bursts of 12 fps trying to capture all the most important moves of the athletes and as a result I ended with a huge amount of pictures that I'm still processing. I hate deleting pictures other than those that are not in focus, and when you shoot burst you have to delete pictures even if they are sharp, otherwise you are going to fill your backup drive really quick.
I'm having a hard time choosing which ones are my favorites — I like all of them. What started as taking pictures of our grandsons quickly turned into photographing the whole team, as usual. I may have missed some of them, as many were competing at the same time — and I haven’t yet figured out how to be in two places at once!
Big thanks to Kaufmann's Karate (#kaufmannskarate) for allowing me inside the arena to capture these moments.
Note: All pictures of the event are located in these two pages:
