There’s an old adage that gear doesn’t make the picture, it’s the photographer. This is partly true. A super-telephoto prime with a fast aperture will make quick work of busy backgrounds, and the faster focusing systems of high-end full-frame cameras will more easily track a bird’s eye in some of the most challenging lighting conditions. But there’s another factor to consider. At the heart of the image is a creative eye and technical proficiency. High-end camera gear only serves a purpose once you know what you’re doing.

What is it about the 2000s look that is so compelling right now? One could chalk it up to the eternal recurrence of 20-year nostalgia cycles, of which the retro digicam revival would be yet another instance. But this kind of historicism elides the character of what is missed, and why its retrieval is attempted in the first place.
Smartphone bad; we know this. Rejecting the smartphone, however, does not immediately lead one to retro digicams. One could just as easily move toward the nostalgia of film as toward the competent excellence of today

By now, the film resurgence has eclipsed its charming underdog status to become a full-blown front in what has become an all-out, open revolt against the smartphone and its visual aesthetics. What distinguishes the “film look” from the digital—texture, material imperfections, color magic, and the analog halo of yesteryear—comes at a price tag as resurgent as the medium itself.
Despite the contradiction (or perhaps because of it), the pursuit of the film look in a digital format has become something of a cottage industry, with manufacturers,

When it comes to choosing the best camera for sports and action photography, there are three factors to focus on. Speed, autofocus performance, and reliability are all essential to tracking, freezing, and nailing the shot time and time again.

In this guide, we’ve narrowed things down to the very best cameras in each class, from the pro-level flagships to everyday cameras that are right at home on your

If renowned landscape photographer Ansel Adams were alive today, he would surely be astounded at the variety of cameras available. When compared to his hulking 8x10 view camera, today’s cameras look like child’s play. He would also be flabbergasted at the image quality these little devices produce.

If you've ever gone camera shopping, you've likely run into the term "mirrorless" more than a couple of times. After all, mirrorless cameras account for up to 90% of new interchangeable-lens cameras (according to Canon executives anyhow). But what does "mirrorless" actually mean? In this guide, we're going to explore what a mirrorless camera is, what makes it different from other cameras (hint: it's in the name), and how it can benefit

One of the best pieces of advice I like giving photographers is that they should print their photos. For many, this will mean going to a lab or print shop, in which case you should learn about profiling and calibration. The rest of you are likely more interested in getting your hands dirty and printing on your own at home. This guarantees you have full control over the entire production process, from capture to output. To do this, you will need a
