Regular screw-on ND filters don’t work on the Canon 11-24mm lens, but Aurora Aperture created a unique set of rear-mount filters that sit behind the lens mount. I tested them out, but found a major problem!!
An L-plate (sometimes called an L-bracket) is an accessory that stays permanently attached to your camera and allows you to clamp it to the ball head on your tripod. When I purchased my first L-plate about a decade ago, it was one of those “why the heck didn’t I do this before!!” moments, and since then I’ve had one on every camera I own. When people see me using it, or when I post photos of my camera setup on social media, I often get questions from people asking about “the funny bracket thing”. If you want to delve really …
Mountainsmith collaborated with adventure photographer Chris Burkhard to create a photography backpack called the Tanuck 40, and a waist pack called the Tanack 10 (no, that’s not a typo – Tanuck/Tanack). Stay tuned for a full review of the smaller Tanack very soon. These bags are sold without any kind of camera protection in them, but there is a line of camera inserts designed for the bags, called TAN Kit Cubes (Tough As Nails). The Mountainsmith TAN Kit Cubes are available in three different sizes, and in this quick review we’ll be taking a look at the small and medium …
The Matador Lens Base Layer and Camera Base Layer are lightweight, down-stuffed protective cases for a single lens, or a lens+camera. I tested both of these products out to see how well they function and how much protection they offer.
I drove over 1000 miles and hiked a further 15 miles in 48 hours to photograph the fall colours of Floe Lake in British Columbia.
I started this particular series of posts back in 2015 by detailing my photography backup routine and outlining some of the basic strategies for a safe and redundant backup system. If you’re uncertain about the basics, you should start with that post first and then work through the full series which you can find here. I write this series because I want to draw attention to the importance of backing up your photos. Once again, last month one of my friends had a hard drive failure and lost most of the photos she had taken in 2017 because she didn’t …
Ever now and again I stumble upon videos that are well worth sharing. This 4-minute video is an excellent way learn how DSLR autofocus actually works. Source: ZY Productions
Just before the public launch of the Capture V3 I polled my social media followers to see how many people were using one of the existing models, and I was staggered to see how many people already owned a Capture, or knew exactly what the product was. I knew these were quite popular products, but I hadn’t appreciated how widespread their usage had become – at least amongst the kind of outdoorsy folks that generally tend to follow my work on social channels. For those that haven’t come across the product before, the Capture is a quick-release camera carrying device …
An L-plate, sometimes called an L-bracket, is a camera accessory that allows you to quickly clamp a camera body to a tripod ball head in both a landscape and portrait orientation, but why are they so useful?
The Slide and Slide Lite camera straps has been around for a few years, but these updated versions were launched as part of a highly successful Kickstarter campaign at the end of 2017, along with the launch of the Capture Clip V3. Peak Design Strap Lineup Overview Peak Design’s camera strap lineup consists of three different straps – in ascending order of size: Leash, Slide Lite, and Slide. Whilst the Leash is the smallest strap, this doesn’t mean it’s only for small cameras. In fact I often use a Leash with big pro DSLRs simply because I value the incredibly …
