Whether you’re a pro photographer or an enthusiastic amateur, it’s likely that you started shooting because of a love of taking photographs. I was given my first camera aged 10 and remember being thrilled every time I got a set of prints developed (and yes, I am old enough to have been shooting on film!). Like many of us, I started out shooting everything and anything and then refined my work to concentrate on the things I really enjoyed photographing. But, whether you’re a pro or an amateur, it can become easy to get stuck in a rut over time. For those of us that shoot for a living, there’s not always carte blanche over what you’re shooting or how you shoot it. And it’s also easy to become stuck…

Sony threw everything at the A7iii and managed to keep it under $2000 USD. Nikon has responded with the Z6 - and I have to say, it looks pretty fantastic. Class leading EVF and LCD screens, fast, with killer video features. Only two obvious let downs are that the Z6 has an OLPF (Z7 doesn't) and that it has only a single card slot - XQD. NOTE - #1 The press release sent out did not mention single card slot - I only found out by asking the question - sadly the answer came too late to include in video. This is a bummer. #2 - Sorry I misquoted the a7iii AF system, which in fact has 693 points! ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Matt Granger Photography is a photography studio based…

Shooting this place was a lot of fun, there was no one around at sunrise and no security staff bothering me. The post production was a challenge though because of file size. I stitched 8 high res images together and hit the max file size of 5GB for a .TIFF file way before I was done editing. I used to merge layers at…

The day has finally come: Nikon is making its first foray into the realm of mirrorless cameras! Wait, you mean… Oh, the Nikon 1 was… OK, hold on, then. Let me have another go at that first sentence. The day has finally come: Nikon is making its first truly viable foray into the realm of competitive, professional-level mirrorless cameras! It’s about time, too. Some might even say that Nikon has shown up too late to the game, and that at this point they’d need something amazing to make any kind of significant impact on the market. Still, I’d say that the new Z6 and Z7 are very promising entries, even if they’re not exactly revolutionary. Today we’ll take a look at what both cameras will offer and how they’re likely…
