Yongnuo’s new 35mm f/2 for Nikon is kind of interesting

Recently, Yongnuo announced their 35mm f/2 lens for Nikon. It’s basically the YN 35mm f/2 for Canon but with a Nikon mount.

Apple’s Photos: The Hidden Power Tools

Apple’s Photos for Mac was a combination between the previous generation’s iPhoto and Apple’s discontinued professional software, Aperture.

GoPro are officially announcing their new Karma drone on September 19th, perhaps the Hero5, too. GoPro have kept both a very closely guarded secret for months.

Photographer of the Day: Ian Lewry

Category: Travel Photographer: Ian Lewry “A Gentleman Attending the Lonach Highland Games” This “Gentleman,” portrayed by Photographer of the Day Ian Lewry, brings home a piece of Scotland. His rugged face is well-framed by a beret and Scottish plaids, accented by the long beard. The blurred background’s color palette blends nicely, setting off the foreground. I like the expression Ian…

According to heliguy the next DJI consumer drone will be called the DJI Mavic. It will also completely change its core design. bye […]
