Double exposures have been around for years, but they seemed to disappear when digital came along. But Nikon DSLRs have had the capability for over a decade now, and Canon have recently started implementing it, too. It’s a fantastic technique to experiment with, although it takes a lot of practise, skill and a little luck to really get the results you’re after.

However, once we agree to the terms and conditions of the platform, we cede a tremendous amount of power and control while simultaneously becoming the product. And the balance of power is continually re-tipped in favor of the platform with opaque algorithmic changes, continuous monetization of user data, and in many cases, raw exploitation of constituents within the ecosystem. For photographers, this phenomenon is no more obvious than on social media, where apps like Instagram have become so interconnected and influential that they almost have to participate to reach their arduously built audiences....

The DJI Air 2S hasn’t technically replaced the Mavic Air 2 in DJI’s lineup. Both models are still being sold concurrently – for now – but is it really worth upgrading to the Air 2S if you already own the Mavic Air 2?

These are the questions Billy Kyle attempts to answer in this comparison video of the two drones, walking us through the differences between them and where that extra money is going....

The lens was expected to be announced on May 23rd, although that seems to have been delayed until today. This full-frame lens is available in several mirrorless mounts including Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z and Leica L....
