When cinematographer Andy Casagrande took his crew to the remote Solomon Islands to shoot “See Beyond Darkness” he turned to Canon’s latest low-light imaging technology to document the newly discovered bioflourescent sea turtles in their natural habitat.

There’s always something to learn about improving one’s landscape photography, and what better way to up your game than with some great tips from top pros Nick Page and Thomas Heaton?

OK, quick: How much less light is transmitted by an aperture of f/2.8 as compared to f/1.4? Unless you came up with an answer of “4 times more light” without counting on your fingers or using a calculator, watch the two-minute video below and you’ll forever remember the how the f/stop scale works.

Outdoor and travel photographers take note. The compact and rugged Pentax KP DSLR is a lot of camera in a tough, portable package, making it an ideal traveling companion. The 24-megapixel KP features a dustproof and weatherproof camera body with 67 points of sealing yet it weighs only 1.4 pounds and is small enough to fit into a laptop bag. This APS-C-sensor-based DSLR also features five-axis in-camera shake reduction, a top sensitivity of ISO 819,200, and high-speed continuous shooting at up to 7 frames per second. Best of all, if you like shooting outdoors even when the weather outside is less than optimal, the Pentax KP is designed to shoot in temperatures as low as 14 degrees F. You may freeze but your camera won’t.
