Photographers who have heard news about the newly released Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 must be wondering what they can do with this ultra fast lens. Portrait and night photography are among the first that come to mind. But if if
Today’s modern cameras come with powerful features that make night photography a lot easier. They include the increasingly capable cameras of smartphones. If you’re curious about night photography with the iPhone 12, you might get some cool ideas from this Apple Creative

I had almost 100 photos of the starry sky. I had taken these in succession while waiting for the Milky Way to appear. I wanted to turn this into a short time-lapse video. But there was one issue — the
Night photographers are always looking for good noise reduction software. After all, noise is the enemy of night photography. Extremely low light coupled with long exposures and high ISOs can make for rather noisy photos. How would Topaz DeNoise AI
