We've all come across an interesting scene that would make a spectacular shot in better light. Sometime the problem is a bland day, while other times your vantage point relative to the sun is not where you need it to be. In either case, this tutorial from the PHLOG Photography YouTube channel demonstrates how to win the challenge—even if you have to create glorious light of your own during post-processing.

Wonderful things begin to happen once the sun drops below the horizon, whether you're shooting in the field or on the streets near your home. Sparkling stars grace the sky, a moon often illuminates the landscape, and urban scenes that appeared boring during the day take on a magical look.

Tamron just announced the availability of a 90mm f/2.8 Macro lens for Sony E and Nikon Z full-frame and APS-C cameras. Shutterbug had the opportunity to shoot extensively with this new lens for a few weeks prior to its release. Here's our evaluation of the Tamron 90mm F/2.8 Di III Macro VXD (Model F072) and a gallery of sample images.

There are plenty of bargains out there for older lenses that can be mounted directly on modern cameras, or by using an affordable adapter depending upon the specific brands. And not only are these vintage options cheap, but sometimes they outperform their modern counterparts in term of imaging characteristics and build quality.
