However, after testing the tripod, I have some reservations. In this review, I’ll tell you what I think of SmallRig’s new tripod and whether you should consider it.

I’m writing today’s “Photography News” under unusual circumstances. At the moment, I am moving at around 900 km per hour, it’s freezing outside the window, and in front of me – somewhere in the distance beyond Atlantic – lies South America. In about six hours, I will step off the plane surrounded by snow-capped volcanoes, hear the first hummingbird calls in a year, smell the scent of the Andes, and embark on an adventure with my companions. One of my companions is, of course, a camera with a brand new lens. This trip is sure to yield more than just a few photos for my upcoming articles. Be prepared for another flood of color.

White balance is one of the most basic and yet trickiest aspects of photography.

Today, I will show you several ways to correct your white balance in Photoshop.

Filters – specifically ND and polarizing filters – are some of my most-used landscape and travel photography tools. For years, I predominantly used round, screw-type filters instead of a holder system because they’re small and easy to travel with. But varying lens diameters had left me with a motley assortment of filters, and in an attempt to find a more cohesive solution, I decided to try the Haida M-10 filter system.

Wildlife photography is one genre where the right lens makes a big difference, and the wrong one simply won’t let you get the shot. Wild animals may not be at optimal distances and they frequently appear in challenging light. So, how can you find the best lens to overcome the challenges of wildlife photography?
