Along with its unique results, timelapse

In all my years in photography, I don’t think any camera has had as much buzz leading up to its release as the Nikon Z 9. There were many reasons for that, both good and bad, but now that the camera’s here, does it live up to the hype? After one week of using it, I

The colour giant Pantone has announced the launch of the world’s first validation program for skin tones for technology.

There are so many ways to explore light painting, the possibilities are endless. One way to light paint a waterfall is the traditional method of using some sort of flashlight and shining the light up and down the waterfall while you use a long shutter speed. That can certainly produce beautiful and ethereal results. But

One of the quieter revolutions in digital image quality has been dynamic range. The days of picking between highlight detail and shadow detail are gone; almost any modern camera can capture both simultaneously with ease. But even though this capability is remarkable, it’s also easy to overuse. Unnecessarily Expanding Your Dynamic Range Most HDR photos

Viltrox has announced a new Canon EF to Sony E mount “smart” lens adapter.

The word “Nevermind” has been stuck in the planet’s collective consciousness ever since Nirvana released their album of that title in 1991.

Vertical Churches of the World is a project that began in 2012 in New York. It’s been ongoing since then and the project has been featured by numerous news agencies, blogs and articles from around the globe (including here on DIYP). I felt it was now time to put some of the images into a

“A picture is worth a thousand words” is the first sentence that springs to my mind when I think of photography-related quotes. And while I agree with it, I must admit that I highly respect words, too. Just like photos, there are wise words that can inspire you. So, to start off the year 2022,

Photographing a wedding can feel overwhelming. There are must-capture moments with no option for a re-do.
