Image sharing site Dronestagram is no Instagram, with its 600 Million users, but the drone-specific social network does contain some of the best aerial photography on the Internet. And today, they revealed... more

I know that for a lot of people, the cold keeps them inside, but it can be really rewarding to go out in the bitter cold. Tonight I got the bug to go out and shoot, but the air temp was -15F (-26C), with a windchill of -30F (-34C).

Here are a few reflections:

1. Bundle up. It’s really not optional. In temperatures like this, you can get frostbite in a shockingly fast time (less than half an hour). It’s not worth losing body parts for any photo.

HMD Global, a Finnish company that has acquired patents and the rights to manufacture Nokia-branded smartphones from Microsoft for the next 10 years, is expected to launch a couple of high-end Android devices at the Mobile World Congress in February and one of them looks like a serious weapon for mobile photographers.

The rumored Nokia C1 is expected to feature a dual camera with 16MP and... more

Macro photography on the cheap usually involves reverse lensing or buying some affordable extension tubes for your kit. But what if there was an extreme macro lens out there that was also extremely affordable? Enter... more

Over the years I’ve seen lots of different phenomena in the sky, but one that has been on my bucket list for quite some time is the very rare lunar fog bow. I’ve seen photos of it, but I’ve never managed to capture it in real life… until now.

This last Saturday turned out to be my lucky night. I hadn’t planed to go out at all, but after taking a look out north and seeing some faint Northern Lights, I decided to head out to see if the activity would... more

The Canon 16-35mm F2.8L II has been one of the most coveted lenses amongst landscape photographers for a fairly long time. The legendary sunstar was one of the major selling points of the lens and it was one of the major characteristics that really separated the Canon lens from the rest of the field.

When we first heard that Canon was going to release an updated version of the lens we were pretty darn excited. The Mark II was a fantastic piece of glass, but struggled in terms... more

Over the years, Photoshop has evolved from a very rudimentary pixel editing program called “Design” into an image editing powerhouse that most photographers, designers, and digital artists absolutely can’t live without. This fun little video captures that journey.

The “visual history of Adobe Photoshop” was put together by the folks at... more

When it comes to cameras, Im something of a minimalist. Slap a great sensor behind a fixed focal length lens and let me go shootthe limitations wont upset me, theyll challenge and delight me.

By this token, the Fujifilm X-T2 is probably not a camera I would have purchased for myselfsomething like the X100T or the Sony RX1R suits me betterbut when... more

What happens when you swap out a video pro's cinema-grade gear with a Canon EOS 80D?

Filmmaker ScottDW found out, when he put down his usual pro kit and picked up the 80D to shoot an installment of his High School Dance Off video series.

 ScottDW is a professional filmmaker with over 880,000 YouTube fans

From almost the minute it was announced, somewhat incongruously, at the Consumer Electronics Show in January (well, it does have a touchscreen, I suppose), the Nikon D500 looked like it was going to be a hit with DPReview's readers. After so many years we had almost lost hope that Nikon would replace the D300S, which soldiered on well into its dotage, and well beyond the point where it was able to keep up with the likes of Canon's EOS 7D II. 

But replace it Nikon did, and in... more
