But despite their power and convenience, sometimes creating in this environment can turn into a series of mouse clicks that eat away at the joy and magic of music production. There are times when ditching the DAW and going old school with a physical piece of hardware can unlock new potential, forcing you to develop alternative techniques

As complementary as peanut butter is to jelly, the camera and tripod are an age-old pairing that still manages to maintain relevance and unmatched functionality in a world dominated by image stabilization and Photoshop tricks. While the form and function of a tripod is far simpler to understand than the scrolling menus of today’s feature-packed cameras, it can still be a chore to choose the right setup for your needs from among a sea of manufacturers and seemingly comparable models.
Now, what’s the big deal with tripods? Most photographers

It's not every day that a piece of photography history passes through B&H. Sure, every camera and lens carries a little bit of the past with it, from a DSLR made in 2015 to an old rangefinder from the 50s. History lives in the images they've captured and the hands they've been passed through. That said, there are some cameras and lenses that stand out among the rest. Especially when they come bearing the serial numbers 0000001, 0000002, and 0000003.

But as more infrastructure moves to the cloud, physical camera hardware still often stands in the way by requiring in-person setup and fine tuning. That’s where PTZ cameras come in.

From Bill Putnam’s reamping technique using physical echo chambers, to the Brobdingnagian 600-pound EMT plate reverb machine, to the complex digital convolution and algorithmic reverbs we have today, artificial reverbs have been sculpting the sonic

Binoculars are a birdwatcher's best friend. They allow you to get close-up views of distant objects without having to actually get close. Some birders use spotting scopes and others use cameras with telephoto lenses, but you may be hard-pressed to find a serious birder without a pair of binoculars at the
