The Perseid meteor shower will likely peak on August 11-12, 2021. Many anticipate that it will be particularly prolific this year. Why? Because the moon will be dim since it will be in its waxing crescent phase. Furthermore, the moon
Noise. Whether it’s random white, red or blue specks or grain, we all experience noise. It’s caused by various things, including heat, increasing light sensitivity of the camera, insufficient “information” or other factors. Here are six ways to reduce noise
You are out in the field. After taking a photo, you look at your camera’s back screen. This brings a smile to your face — it looks pretty great. At home, however, it’s a different story. When you go to
