Sirui’s new light, the B25R, literally puts a twist on traditional studio lights. The defining feature of the B25R – a constant, RGB strip light – is the ability to articulate and curve individual sections of the light to turn it into a wraparound source. Is this feature a must-have for your studio? That’s what I’ll cover in today’s review.

Artificial intelligence, or rather machine learning, is now a permanent part of many photo editing programs. I recently tested one such machine learning program for noise reduction and sharpness, called DxO PureRaw 2. In the meantime, however, the French company DxO reworked their de-noising module called DeepPRIME (which is part of PureRaw 2) and introduced a new version called DeepPRIME XD.

During my travels, I often see breathtaking, majestic landscapes that take my breath away. But yesterday, for the first time in a long time, I took a walk through the land of my childhood. A land that has burned itself into my mind and shaped my relationship with nature. The spruce and beech trees covering the countryside here are not breathtaking, nor could the surrounding hills be described as majestic. But it is the land of my heart. What about you – what is your place?

Before the Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S lands in our new lens testing lab, I gathered some experiences with it over two weeks of bird photography in Latin America. How did the Nikon 400mm f/4.5 perform under the equatorial sun? I’ll cover that in my field review of the lens today.
