I have numerous lenses that can fit my a6000 but rarely use them as the basic Sony lenses are so convenient.

I do not always correct the distortion. it is very good to have barrel distortion when people are near the edges. I sometimes use DXO to add barrel distortion (anamorphosis) to my "distortion free"...

I have two of these 16-50s and am happy with them. I find the lens to be much better than many say. (I always shoot raw and use DXO for conversions so that may be a factor.) It is very inexpensive...

They are leaving money on the table. Why don't they gold plate it and write "Trump" on it and say "It's the best."

I've been shooting interior work using strobes for decades. Before that I assisted a guy who used very heavy cases and hated it. I break my lighting gear down to several reasonable size and weight...

Let's see, this video is used on a commercial site that has paid advertising. That is a violation unless the operator has a 333 exemption. Was the operator a licensed sport pilot or higher? Was...

Ban binoculars and telescopes while you are at it.

FWIW they are banned from all US National Parks.

BTW, to use them commercially in the US (including selling photos or videos) requires an FAA 333 exemption and Pilot In Command operation by a...

Yuneec has teamed up with Intel and is going to be giving DJI a run for their money. The Typhoon H is coming out soon:

I have several including an Inspire. Another craft I own carries an APS size camera for still photos. Often I use this only 10 to 30 feet off the ground to get a slightly elevated view of a home...

To the contrary. UAVs are being used in various aspects of wildlife management. This was some of the earliest uses for them before large numbers of hobbyists and filmmakers got...

I plan to make my own camera from scratch so these teardown guides are very helpful.

Just because the brightness range is limited in the film does not mean the brightness range was so narrow in the scene. Therefore capturing a wide dynamic range may have been necessary.

Gee this thing sure went in a weird direction. All I said is that having a "distortion free" lens does not always produce the most flattering depiction. This is about taking pictures isn't it?

Now that so many shoot selfies close up using cell phones that have wide angle lenses, people must be used to their faces looking distorted. I see it all of the time and generally think it is very...

"and the 28mm lens is well corrected to avoid tons of distortion at the edges."

I find when shooting people with wide angle lenses it is better to have barrel distortion if people are near to the...

I don't think professional and serious amateur photographers abandoned film out of laziness. It is because digital photography is a far superior methodology in many ways at a much lower price. For...

So if film was so rich an experience, why did so many people abandon it in favor of digital? Heritage obviously doesn't count for much if consumers prefer something else.

As for film formats,...

There are digital print cameras (Polaroid ZINK) that would be useful for the same purpose. Of course many cameras that use this pack film will soon be unusable including view cameras and other...

If it can shoot film, it will really re-invent smartphone photography. A $200 leather (simulated ostrich) case marked "Leica" will sell well.
