Silhouettes and Negative Space; New Mirrorless Gear from Canon

This week, Canon announced three new mirrorless lenses, and a new flagship mirrorless camera body. The Canon EOS R3 is a pro-style body that will be capable of 30 fps stills, and uses an all-new sensor developed by Canon.

Canon also announced a 400mm f/2.8, 600mm f/4, and 100mm f/2.8 macro lens for their mirrorless mount. While the 400 and 600mm lenses are optically identical to existing Canon telephotos, the new 100mm macro lens offers 1.4x magnification and a spherical aberration control ring.

We also discuss the creative use of silhouettes and negative space as a creative technique in photography. We explore how to create these types of images both in your camera and with post-processing.

Nikon Z9 Announcement

Our thoughts on the new mirrorless flagship from Nikon

This week, Nikon announced the development of the Z9 mirrorless camera. Although specs were scarce, there are a few things we can infer from the product announcement. Adobe released a new update to Camera Raw, which offers a new feature called “super resolution.” This enables ACR (and soon, Lightroom) users to double the linear pixel dimensions of their images while preserving a raw format. Our experiments with Super Resolution suggest that it has a lot of potential in the future for working with highly-cropped images or photos captured with lower-resolution cameras.
