While I don’t typically miss the digital cameras of old, I’ve really been quite enjoying the recent trend for “reviewing” these older cameras. And while I never owned most of them, I do still have a pair of 20-year-old Nikon D100 bodies and remember seeing many of the other popular models of the day. One such camera was the Nikon Coolpix 990, a strange little camera with a swivelling lens and handle....
Advertisements The Godox V860-ii and AD200 (with fresnel head) both had some inflated results, as the narrow beam they emit (both were at zoom 35mm) concentrates the pattern of light. While this is useful when trying to squeeze power out of a small light source, it’s important to realize they will not give you the same quality of light that you will get from an omnidirectional bulb. My biggest takeaway from this test, is the small difference between the Godox AD360ii and the AD200 with its omnidirectional head....
No matter if you’re a hobbyist or you’re paid for your photography, I’m sure you’ve come across all sorts of unpleasant situations. In this video, Daniel Norton reflects on some of the situations that we’ve all been through. Snobbism and vanity are something we’ve all encountered.

This video is a bit of a rant, but it’s an important reminder of what not to do and how to be a better human being....
In a photography forum, I’ve recently come across an interesting comment made by a participant. You should only upgrade your camera only if it’s limiting you, not just because you have the money to. In fact, this explains how I’ve grown out of my first body and kit lens, but also the reason why I haven’t upgraded my body for the past 7+ years since moving full-frame. Back in 2008, I started photography with upper-entry Nikon D60 (APS-C body) with a kit lens....
Elinchrom has expanded its lighting range, adding to its long-standing range of strobes with a continuous LED light. Manufactured by Light & Motion in partnership with Elinchrom, the Elinchrom ELM8 is a portable continuous LED light with an EL mount. For Elinchrom strobe users, this means it should work with all your existing modifiers. As we’ve come to expect from Elinchrom products, it’s not cheap, though. In Europe, it has a price tag of €1,379 + VAT and in the USA it’s $1,699....
