We recently got our hands on the Nikon (made by Tamron) 28-75mm f/2.8 Nikkor Z lens. This is a well-made lens that is very good optically, and is far less expensive than the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8S lens. Much to our delight, the Nikon 28-75mm f/2.8 is an excellent performer for infrared photography (something that the 24-70/2.8S does not do well). Should you get one? It depends on your needs, and what kind of subjects you enjoy photographing.
Many thanks to our friends at B&H Photo for loaning us the Nikon 28-75mm lens to test!
We took a short trip to Tucson, Arizona and we shot infrared photos exclusively. Look for an infrared workshop from us in early 2023!
Is it time to think about upgrading your computer? A good computer is the centerpiece of the digital photography workflow. In this week’s episode, we’ll discuss our own experiences and advise what features are important in choosing a new computer for digital photography.
Rick and Jason both recently upgraded to the Mac Studio with Apple M1 Max processor in this configuration.
This week, we’re talking about the latest in medium format digital systems. These cameras will easily get you to 100 megapixels (or more) and deliver incredible dynamic range and detail. Most medium format digital camera systems are designed for studio photography, but you can take them in the field with you. We’ll cover what’s out there and which systems have the latest technology.
We received a question from one of our listeners, who wanted to know if we used flash anymore. Given the amazing high ISO performance of today’s digital cameras, you might thing flash is unnecessary. However, there is still a role for flash photography, especially for indoor events, studio work, and balancing harsh outdoor light. We’ll discuss how we use flash, along with a recap of the fundamentals of flash exposure (good to know) and how to easily control flash with your camera.
