Like most of your camera gear, picking up a photography backdrop is a very personal choice. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution that you can just throw in the background and expect it to magically improve your photos. A good backdrop will complement the general aesthetic you’re gunning for and make up a huge chunk of your shot’s personality. On the other hand, a bad backdrop selection…
A while back, we talked about the incredible Panasonic Leica 10-25mm f1.7, and we quickly found that it was more than good enough to replace a bag of prime lenses within the 10-25mm range in the micro four thirds format, a lot of which I still consider the best lenses on Micro Four Thirds, including the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 and Panasonic-Leica 25mm f1.4.

The mirrorless revolution has brought on many game-changers for creatives; eye AF, slimmer camera bodies, and more advanced lens designs just to name a few. Sony’s original crop of a7-series bodies was instrumental in bringing more mirrorless cameras into the mainstream, and have since evolved into one of the most popular mirrorless systems available today.

That said, Canon has done a great job at covering the…
Doesn’t matter who you hear it from, DSLRs aren’t dead. Mirror-slapping camera body releases may have slowed down in the last few years, but the introduction of pro-grade DSLRs from Canon (among other manufacturers) such as the 1DX Mark III and 90D last 2020 still signal a commitment to support what’s supposed to be a dying breed of cameras. Recent data suggests that Canon still…
A lot of things have happened in photography in recent years, two of the biggest names in photography, Canon and Nikon, finally decided to seriously compete in the full frame mirrorless game, introducing their first flagship mirrorless systems to challenge Sony’s dominion over the mirrorless market. Even more interesting (in my opinion) was the team-up between Panasonic, Leica, and Sigma — forming the L-Mount Alliance…
Everyone knows that YouTubers are making a ton of money, and that makes you a tad bit envious. So now you’ve been flirting with the idea of starting a YouTube channel. You think you have a lot of interesting things to share with the world. You’ve seen the likes of Peter McKinnon project his electric personality on screen as he talks about his creative pursuits,…
