Photoshop 2026's Dehaze Tool Is More Powerful Than You Think
Photoshop 2026 added a Clarity and Dehaze adjustment layer, and if you shoot landscapes or anything with atmospheric haze, it's worth knowing how to use it properly. The catch is that throwing dehaze on an entire image can look heavy-handed, so selecting only the hazy area before applying it makes a real difference.
Is the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR Worth It on a 40-Megapixel Sensor?
The Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR is one of those lenses that looks almost too small to take seriously. But if you're shooting on a Fujifilm X-series body, especially one with a demanding 40-megapixel sensor, "small" doesn't have to mean "compromised."
Why Time Is a Landscape Photographer's Most Valuable Asset
Time might be the one thing standing between you and your best landscape images. Not gear, not skill, not vision: just the raw, uncontrollable factor of being somewhere when the light, weather, and landscape align in a way that only happens a handful of times a year.
Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 vs. RF 24-105mm f/2.8: Which Pro Zoom Wins?
I have now tried both the Canon 28-70mm f/2 lens and the Canon 24-105mm f/2.8 to see which is better and where I would recommend each of these lenses. I'm just trying to answer the question of which one is right for me, and hopefully in doing so I'm able to also help you identify which one might be right for you.
Adobe Announces Frame.io Drive to Streamline Video Sharing Among Creatives
Unlike photography, video production often involves more than one person. There are sound technicians, editors, color gradeers, camera operators, directors and art directors. It is also common for team members to share multiple versions of edited footage. Managing these files and providing easy access to everyone on the team is a priority for every video production team. Today, Adobe is announcing Frame.io Drive to make sharing files and edits easy.
5 Top Tips On How To Photograph Bridges
Early morning or late evening light will highlight textures and warmth to the scene but don't overlook bright days either as strong shadows will make statues and other detail stand out from the walls.
If you wait for the sun to go down have a play around with long exposures and capture the light trails created by traffic as it passes you by. Most DSLRs will happily create shutter speeds of 30 seconds but if you want something a little longer you'll need to switch to the B (bulb) setting.
If you do use Bulb mode, keep an eye on your battery life as you don't want it to drain before you've captured your shot. Do remember you'll need your tripod and a remote release is handy if you have one.
If you're shooting on the bridge a wide-angle lens is great for getting interesting foreground detail in the shot. Just remember to use a small aperture so everything in the scene is in focus. A wide is also handy for when you what to shoot the bridge in its surroundings and don't have the space to move back with a telephoto lens. If you can get down to the base of the bridge a wide-angle lens will exaggerate the size of the part closest to you while the distant point of it will look like it's shrinking towards the vanishing point.
If you find you have too much sky and land dominating the landscape shots of your bridges crop in and create a panorama.
3. When Will A Telephoto Lens Be Useful?
When you want to isolate detail pick up your telephoto lens. It's also useful for when you have strong lines to work with such as bridge supports.
4. What Else Can I Photograph On A Bridge?
Bridges, particularly old ones, have interesting detail that's worth a shot or two. Signs, supports, nuts, bolts and even rust can make good images.
5. How Can I Use Bridges Creatively In My Shots?
You can use the bridges that stretch over roads, canals and rivers to frame whatever landscape sits behind it. Just watch your exposure if you do this as it'll be darker under the bridge than it is on either side so bracket if you need to.

12 Things That Go Wrong on Every Outdoor Portrait Session (and What to Do About Each One)
If you have shot outdoor portraits for any length of time, you already know that the session you planned and the session you got are never the same session. Something always goes sideways. The light shifts, the location changes, a variable you could not have predicted shows up and rearranges everything. The difference between a beginner and a working portrait photographer is not that the veteran avoids these problems. It is that the veteran has been ambushed by them so many times that the solutions are automatic.
Elevate Your Photography Using a Single Color
Here's how you can put the power of a single color to work to make your photos more impactful.
Going for a single color isn't limited to shooting in monochrome mode. By making one color the dominant element in your frame, you can unlock a visual language for more impressive photos. In fact, Alex Kilbee of The Photographic Eye stresses in the video above that color is emotion, and shows how to put this to work using three examples.

OM System OM-1 Mark II Real-World Review: Zoo, Low Light, and Street Photography
Micro Four Thirds keeps getting written off, but the OM System OM-1 Mark II paired with the OM System 50-200mm f/2.8 keeps making a case for itself. At around $2,000 for the body alone, this is a flagship-level investment, and whether it actually delivers on that price is worth a serious look.

Shooting Rory McIlroy on 4x5 Film at a PGA Event Is as Chaotic as It Sounds
A 4x5 large format camera is fully manual, everything from focus to exposure to winding the shutter, which makes it a strange choice for photographing a professional golfer signing autographs for a crowd of screaming kids. That's exactly what Jared Polin did at The Truist, a PGA event, capturing one of golf's biggest names just before McIlroy went back-to-back winning the Masters.

Honestly, it very well could be.
