Mirrorless Camera Reviews

We're all looking for new ways to expand our repertoire and b&w infrared (IR) photography is a great technique for capturing awe-inspiring images with an otherworldly look. Today's quick tutorial with instructor Richard Herzog demonstrates how easy it is to get the job done in the camera.

It can be extremely challenging to capture accurately exposed photos of scenes with a wide range of brightness values from white to black and everything in between. This tutorial from the My Photo Journey YouTube channel explains how to get the job done in the camera by selecting the oft-ignored Spot Metering mode.

It's sort of surprising that more photographers don't avail themselves of the all-important histogram when shooting and editing their work. One of our favorite landscape shooters puts it like this: "Understanding the histogram is key to mastering exposure and taking control of your photography."

It's surprising how infrequently some photographer's clean the sensor in their cameras, all the while aiming for the best image quality possible. Dirty sensors cause a variety of problems, not the least of which are ugly dusts spots and other artifacts on every image you shoot.

So you finally tried shooting in Manual mode after listening to all the noise from so-called "purists" and surprise; the images you captured were far from impressive. What's up with that?

There's no denying that photography can be an expensive pursuit, whether you're an avoid amateur or a working pro with a boatload of high-end equipment. In either case it's important to protect gear properly so that everything remains it top condition and performs as it should. In this video you'll learn several pro tips for doing just that.

If you're one of those photographers who uses the same metering mode for every photo you shoot you're making a big mistake that we hope to correct with this very helpful guide from C4 Photo Safaris—an instructional site full of helpful tips for shooters of all skill levels.
