Pop on a pair of (decent) sunglasses and not only are your eyes less strained, things just look better. The reason for this is likely the polarization effect. Colors may appear more saturated, bright blue skies can take on a deeper hue, and some pesky reflections just vanish. All of these can benefit certain photographs and make the circular polarizer filter one of the best—and most difficult—filters to use.
Exactly What Does a Polarizer Do?

Sports photographers are newcomers to the a7R party. Not because they're late to the series, but because until now the camera line simply wasn't well-suited for action, what with its processor-hungry file sizes slowing things down. Sony aims to change all that with the a7R VI Mirrorless Camera, the company's latest 66.8MP full-frame shooter offering unprecedented speed for the series.

The a7R series has long been popular among wildlife photographers for the big files and associated crop-ability so to speak. That said, one area where the R could use some improvement is in the speed department.

Video performance was a stealth strength of the a7R V, and in this next-generation a7R VI Mirrorless Camera, the improved performance moves the camera from “if you know you know” to video headliner. Sony’s latest acknowledges the new hybrid table-stakes for professionals and creators by delivering video quality worthy of the “R” imprimatur.

Since its inception, the a7R series has been a mainstay of portrait photographers, for whom its high-resolution imagery benefitted large-scale prints in fashion, beauty, and art contexts. With the release of the a7R VI Mirrorless Camera, Sony has introduced speed into the portraitist's toolkit, eliminating the tradeoff between resolution and processing and making the act of portraiture one of agility and discovery.

Wedding photography is a blend of genres, sort of a marriage (pun intended) between portrait, street, and occasionally even landscape photography. There’s always a bit of mystery when it comes to lighting, and we need to be ready for anything. In a reception hall, you may dimly chandeliers, bright LEDs, or even pulsating, colorful strobes from the DJ booth. All of these variables, and you may not be able to use flash! What can you do?

For a beginner, few things seem more intimidating than photographing a wedding. A sense of anxiety is perfectly normal if you haven't yet spent much time in this field. It's important to remember that we all begin somewhere, and even the most experienced pros were also novices at one point. With practice and education, nerves begin to morph into confidence.
No two weddings are the same, but whether traditional or unconventional, the goal is to be properly equipped to document the key moments of the day. A
