Oh yeah, 400 megapixel images are now a thing. I mean, You could already produce 400 megapixel images (and beyond) by stitching images together. But you couldn't take a single 400 megapixel shot. And now, thanks to the latest firmware update for the GFX100 medium format camera, it's real. The GFX100 was already capable of shooting 102 megapixel images. But today Fujifilm released a new firmware update that adds "Pixel
It's that time of the year again, Black Friday 2020 is coming this week! Last year, the deals list I compiled was a huge success, so I decided to do this again. I only link products that I know are good. Either because I have them myself or I used similar products of the same brand or I know them from trustworthy reviews. There is nothing in this Black Friday
Today we're looking at fog photography in London. In particular, a lot of cityscape and some street "fog photography". We all have in our hearts the sight of beautiful landscapes in a thick fog or a delicate mist. But this has become more and more rare in the city. In London for example, we now only have 2-3 days of fog a year. And so far, only 1 morning of fog
Yesterday I went out with my friend Martyn for a photographic morning with Richmond Park deers. This park just outside of London is famous for its deers but it also has a nice view over the city (albeit from far away) that is prefect for sunrise in some periods. It's not the only park with deers, there's at least Bushy Park as well, but it's the largest colony for sure. Autumn
Time for some rain photography! Street photography to be exact. Most foreigners think it always rains in London but in reality it's mostly cloudy or just drizzling (and we do have sunny days, harsh ones too). Now, coming from Italy, I don't really fancy going out when it's grey, let alone pouring rain. But I do appreciate it's a very good opportunity for photography. And so I force myself to
I decided I'd try a different format for my YouTube vlog and embark in a Photo Mission to shoot the moonrise in London. To be completely honest, the idea came up while I was editing my footage. But all I filmed made perfect sense in such format, so I decide to put it together this way. I had not really decided to go out to take the resulting shot, mainly
I wrote about Luminosity Masks in Photoshop already on this blog. It's a very powerful technique that I use a lot in my landscape and cityscape photography. I find it a lot more efficacious than letting my camera or a software decide what a good HDR photo is automatically. Yes, it may take a bit longer. But the results a far more satisfactory. When I first heard about Luminosity Masks
Dodge and Burn are tools often used by photographers of all kinds to enhance their images. To highlight details, improve contrast, make an element stand out more, brighten up eyes in a portrait
I often say that it's my duty to shoot sunset or sunrise photography! I love landscapes and cityscapes, so I must take these pictures when the conditions are right! And I think sunrise photography can be more rewarding because it requires more efforts. First of all, from Spring to Autumn the time is not favourable. You need to wake up quite early to catch the sunrise. Better in Winter when
