Proper care and protection of your photo equipment in summer
Summer time is photography time! With the warm temperatures and the wonderful nature, summer lures us out to capture unforgettable moments. But while we take our cameras and photo accessories with us into the great outdoors, we also have to keep in mind that summer brings some special challenges for our photo gear.
Helpful tips for travel photographers
Before you go on a trip, you have to plan. Before setting off on a trip, photographers in particular often rack their brains about what to pack, what to look out for when it comes to transport or how to charge their batteries far away from civilisation.
Spectacular images with ND filters
Filters – do we still need them in digital photography, where almost everything can be adjusted with the help of digital post-processing? Many photographers who want to keep their equipment as small as possible or who have not yet dealt with filter photography in detail ask themselves this question.
The most important file formats in photography
JPEG, TIFF, bit depth, raw data format - even with experienced photographers who have been dealing with digital photography for years, the large number of data formats used often causes confusion. If you want to find out which file format is best for your own photography on the Internet, you will find so much information and opinions that even after a long search you can hardly get any further.
Introduction to filter photography
Filter photography, i.e. taking photos with filters placed in front of them, is associated by many exclusively with analogue photography. After all, why do we need physical filters today when our own recordings can simply be adapted to our own ideas in digital post-processing? In fact, it's not as easy as some might think, and filters have a right to exist today, perhaps more than ever.
Motives for photographing with a remote release
Most photographers have probably played around with a remote camera release without realizing all the creative possibilities of this special tool. It is the remote release that makes a picture possible in some situations. This article is about showing some of the photographic possibilities with the remote release so that one or the other can use them as inspiration for their own photography.
Photographing with high light intensity
More than the camera itself, the lens contributes to a certain look in a photo. How sharp is something depicted, what exposure time is necessary and, of course, which section is reproduced on the camera sensor based on the selected focal length? Photographers have to answer these questions themselves before a shoot or a trip.
How to properly care for your photo equipment
Photographers often like to refer to their cameras and all other equipment as their tools. That's true, of course, especially with professional photographers, this term is usually used when the camera has one or the other scratch or when the viewer notices a dent on the lens.
Having your own photo studio is firmly linked to the image of the professional photographer. In fact, many whose hobby is photography wish to have their first studio. However, this is also associated with concerns about high costs and the question of what is actually needed for the personal studio.
