15 Tips for Monochrome Photography

Monochrome photography always had a major role in the photographic history; many people think it’s a trend typical of the last decades, but the truth is that it’s always been practiced since photography was born. I could easily name black and white photography as the monochrome photography “par excellence”, but even without considering black and white photographs think about the “sepia effect” or cyanotype photos: these are just two examples of monochrome photography techniques used since the early ages of photography.

Lens Flare in Landscape Photography

If you tried to shot in the sun direction (or some other strong light source) a few times during your photography sessions, you probably already noticed that sometimes a weird effect is occurring in your shots; the effect I’m talking about appears in the form of some colorful circles (or rings) all over your picture, often giving a sort of soft color cast all over the frame. This effect is called “lens flare”, and that’s what we’ll discuss in this article.

Even if you started taking photos a few days ago, the chances that you already encountered or heard the words “HDR photography” at least a couple of times are very high; this particular technique became incredibly popular in the last decade, specially in those years when there weren’t yet digital cameras with a super wide dynamic range.

DSLR vs Mirrorless Cameras

“The Times They Are a-changin’”, like Bob Dylan would say. That’s what is happening at the moment in the photography world.
In the last decade (or even less!) we saw the rise of the so-called “mirrorless” cameras, and the set back of the DSLR reflex domination.
Sony, which has probably been the real first mover in the mirrorless market, has just announced to have surpassed Nikon in sales, and became the #2 world camera producer, just behind Canon.
