Ansel Adams compared photography to a musical performance. “The negative,” he said, “is the score. The print is the performance.” Digital photography has seen prints taking a second seat to screens. Wouldn’t it be great if a high-quality print could

Over the past couple years, some mirrorless cameras have dded pixel shifting to their cameras, to help create “super” high-resolution images. While this can increase resolution quite large (240 megapixels on the Sony a7R IV), how does it stand up
What lens is good for night photography? It turns out there’s quite a few. And not all of them are crazy expensive. Please note that I am not discussing astrophotography, deep space photography of celestial objects or photos involving an
