My first experience with photography was a black and white film photography class in high school. We were given one roll of film per week, and told to, “go capture something compelling.” Though learning photography on a fully manual, very low-tech camera, resulted in a bit of a learning curve when I switched over to digital (hello metering modes, back button focus, and exposure compensation!), one of the most important things that my first black and white photography class taught... more

Japanese site Nikkan is reporting that the Fuji GH5 is to come with 6K video. If true, this is very exciting and completely ridiculous. We’re only just getting used to 4K, and even most of that is being downsampled to 1080p. So, why might one need a 6K camera? Well, as more and more 4K [...]
