The Digital Picture has published an in-depth in-body image stabilization (IBIS) test that compared the performance of the Canon EOS R5 and the Sony Alpha 1. In many cases, Canon’s EOS R5 showed a 1/3 to 2/3 stop advantage over Sony’s flagship. The camera and lens review website recently published a detailed IBIS test that

It was a quiet evening with a brilliant red sunset visible through the tall pines of Flagstaff, Arizona. I was sitting with my neighbor in my front yard, each of us enjoying an Old Fashioned and toasting to another hot summer day. As the sun passed below the horizon line, and night set in, we
At 500px amazing photography is at our core, but these photos would not be possible without the talented people behind the lens. The 500px Spotlight series highlights the global and diverse photographers that are part of the 500px Community. This week we are excited to introduce you to portrait photographer, Edward Grant.

Finnish company Bonfoton has launched the BonfotonUP, a new device that allows users to project a camera obscura image right-side-up in contrast to how the visual phenomenon — projected onto walls — is traditionally formed upside-down. Camera obscura, which means “dark chamber” in Latin, is an early ancestor of the photographic camera. The phenomenon can
There are a few DIY ways to turn your room into a camera obscura, or you can use an adapter for it. But wouldn’t it be nice to have the image upright instead of upside-down? Bonfoton has just made it possible with the BonfotonUP. This window adapter lets you project the outside image onto your

A luxury wedding photographer recently made quite a splash at a grand Indian wedding celebration, but not quite the type of splash one hopes to make when heading out to capture someone’s big day. The Northern California-based wedding photography and cinematography business Aperina Studios was capturing the lavish wedding in July when a team photographer
Nikon’s Z9 has concluded its testing at the Olympics and a new report has surfaced that promises some rather impressive specifications for Nikon’s forthcoming sports-focused camera, including a 45-megapixel sensor and somewhere between 120 and 160 frames per second burst shooting. Nikon Rumors is reporting a set of new details that promise significant performance out
The day some of us have anxiously been waiting for is just around the corner. Starting tomorrow, the Perseid meteor shower is about to reach its peak. With up to 100 meteors every hour, it’s the most spectacular meteor shower of the year. But we don’t have too much time to observe it, so get
If you close your eyes, point your camera in any direction, and take a picture, I’m willing the bet the photo won’t be a success. Unless you’re doing some artsy “blindfolded photography” project, it completely lacks intent or any engagement with the scene in front of you. Level 0: The blindfolded photographer It’s not like
With the rise of home gardeners brought on by pandemic lockdowns, seed stores are experiencing more demand than ever for everything from kale to tomatoes. Some have sold five or six times the normal amount of seed, and others are likening it to a gardening “gold rush.” Certain varieties have even experienced shortages. Photography and

[embedded content] For most, Hasselblad is a name that has been associated with iconic photographs and technical quality — and a huge price that reflects that. However, has Hasselblad always been a premium photography brand, and why are they so expensive? The Swedish manufacturer of photographic equipment and medium format cameras — both analog and
A woman from Russia has filed the most ridiculous lawsuit I’ve heard of this year. She sued McDonald’s over a photo ad of a burger, claiming that it was so tempting that it made her break the fast during Lent. Ksenia Ovchinnikova from Omsk is an Orthodox Christian who allegedly broke her fasting because she
Every Sunday, we bring together a collection of easy-reading articles from analytical to how-to to photo features in no particular order that did not make our regular daily coverage. Enjoy!

I find it incredibly fun to use older, especially unique, digital cameras both as a challenge and for sheer enjoyment. I think part of it is psychological. With archaic cameras sporting outdated technology we anticipate subpar results, and so we focus more on what we can control: composition, lighting (when applicable), exposure, and so on
[embedded content] Some of the most Iconic shots were taken with a Hasselblad (or Hassy as its fans call it). The album cover for The Beatless’ Abbey Road and the iconic Apollo 11 photo of Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon (shot by Neil Armstrong) are a few photos that almost everyone knows. On the
This article is a bird’s eye view of all Nikon Z products available at the moment, including cameras, lenses, and official accessories. My hope is that photographers considering a Nikon Z camera will find this a helpful guide to figure out what equipment is out there. While this article only covers Nikon-brand products for the Z
