    by OM SYSTEM on 23rd December 2025 at 21:40

    OM SYSTEM's Holiday Savings Event runs through January 11, 2025, and the deals are compelling. The Micro Four Thirds system has always offered a distinct advantage: professional-grade performance in a package that weighs half as much as full-frame equivalents. With savings up to $500 on flagship cameras and lenses, this is an ideal time to build or expand a travel-ready kit without compromising image quality. [Read More]

  • Nikon in 2025: Another Excellent Year for a Resurgent Nikon
    by Jeremy Gray on 23rd December 2025 at 20:59

    Nikon's 2024 acquisition of RED bore its first major fruit this year, but the RED-infused Nikon ZR is far from the only great product the legendary Japanese company released in 2025. Nikon launched three cameras and five lenses, nearly all of which proved impressive. [Read More]

  • 7Artisans’ New Floral Bloom 57mm T2.9 Lens Promises Same Eye-Catching Style
    by Kate Garibaldi on 23rd December 2025 at 18:44

    7Artisans has announced the Floral Bloom 57mm T2.9, a full frame cinema lens designed for PL mount cameras and built around a deliberately unconventional optical signature. Rather than aiming for neutral rendering, the lens embraces a strong stylistic identity, producing a pronounced radial bokeh effect intended for highly expressive, story-driven filmmaking.

  • One-Click AI for Precise Photo Background Removal With Aiarty Image Matting
    by Aiarty on 23rd December 2025 at 17:21

    Every professional photographer understands the frustration of a complex mask. When you’re dealing with fine hair against a busy background, the sheer fabric of a wedding dress, or even highly detailed product shots, traditional selection tools quickly become a time-sinking ordeal. Hours spent painstakingly refining edges in post-production translate directly into lost studio time and increased labor costs. It’s a tedious, manual bottleneck that hinders the creative flow.

    • Peak Design Pro Lite Tripod Review
      by Libor Vaicenbacher on 23rd December 2025 at 23:02

      The original Peak Design Travel Tripod made some serious waves when it launched five years ago. One sign of its success? Not long after its release, the market started to fill with models suspiciously inspired by its design. More recently, Peak Design built on that momentum by introducing three larger, more robust siblings. Today I’ll take a closer look at the smallest of the trio — the Peak Design Pro Lite.

    • Photography News: Nikon Z9 Firmware, Canon R7 II Rumor
      by Libor Vaicenbacher on 22nd December 2025 at 05:20

      This week, while working on an article about Silver Efex, I wanted to remind myself what true analog photography looked like. So I dug deep into my closet, pulled out a historical hard drive, and carefully brought it back to life. As it started spinning, it took me back to my younger days, where I found a photo waiting to be discovered in a quarter-century-old folder: a photo of my dad and two very unlucky carp contemplating the desperate situation they had found themselves in for the sake of our holiday traditions.

    • DxO Silver Efex Review: Black and White Without Chemicals
      by Libor Vaicenbacher on 19th December 2025 at 00:57

      It’s been a very long time since I last wound film onto a developing reel in a darkroom, mixed my developer, tempered it to the precise temperature, and then—like some alchemist—developed the film. Still, I can vividly recall those moments and, later, the excitement of darkroom printing under dim red light. But enough nostalgia. I gave away my darkroom gear long ago, and the smell of developer has been replaced by coffee sitting next to the computer on which I now edit black-and-white photographs using DxO Silver Efex.

    • Secrets of Professional Photographers: An Interview with Petr Chodura
      by Libor Vaicenbacher on 16th December 2025 at 01:18

      When someone says “sports photographer,” many of us probably imagine a row of long telephoto lenses crammed together in the corner of a stadium. In some ways, that image isn’t far from the truth. But there are sports that don’t have boundaries, safety nets, or predictable arenas — sports that take place in conditions most photographers will never experience.

    • Photography News: Sony a7 V Dynamic Range, Mic Sales
      by Libor Vaicenbacher on 15th December 2025 at 03:27

      We live in an age of extreme specialization. There are experts in bird bioacoustics, bacterial flagella, coprophagous insects. Even we photographers tend to pigeonhole ourselves as wildlife photographers, street photographers, sports photographers, landscape photographers, and who knows what else.

    • November 2025 Photo Contest Winners: The Power Of Scale
      by Rob Wood (Admin) on 19th December 2025 at 13:00

      We're happy to announce the winner of November's competition, “The Power Of Scale.” Tersha posted a photo that is a partial silhouette and one that is a great example of scale in photography. The image has a unique type of visual weight where the person is facing the right part of the frame, but feels balanced by the structure. Also, one can notice the feeling of "alone" in the photo and the composition emphasizes the emotion.
