    A Tripod in the Sky – DJI Air 2S Review

    I’ve reviewed a lot of gear on this site, but I’ve never strayed too far from traditional photography, with a focus on camera bodies, lenses, etc. I’ve focused on the process of some things, my recent foray back into film shooting, and more. But I’ve never become a pilot to get a shot, until recently,…

    Well, it’s been a long time since my last post, and that’s mostly because I’ve been pretty swamped at my day job. I’ve had a fairly small amount of time to shoot in the past two months, and even less time to write. I do have a few more articles in the pipeline that are…

    Review: Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift (Canon RF)

    Today I’m taking a deep look at the new Laowa 20mm f/4 Shift lens. As a photographer who shoots quite a lot of architecture, I have always enjoyed shooting with shift lenses.

    First Impressions: Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift

    I’m excited enough about today’s lens to throw some quick impressions out ahead of a full review. Laowa is the lens brand for Venus Optics, a relatively new optical company that has made quite a splash in the industry over the past 9 years by creating quality lenses that fill niches that the traditional lens…

  • Review: Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM

    Review: Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM

    I’ve been reviewing a lot of Canon’s interesting light weight consumer-grade optics as of late, and continues with today’s review of the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM. The 800mm f/11 was announced alongside the similar 600mm f/11 lens, providing super-telephoto reach with a slow aperture and an affordable price. Like many of Canon’s lower…
