This thought-provoking video begins with photographer Tony Northrup reading a message from someone dissing another pro’s choice of gear: “Someone should tell Peter McKinnon that the Canon 1D X Mark II does crappy 4K, and only the Nikon D850 is good.”

We teamed up with GuruShots once again for another fabulous photo challenge. This time the theme was "Tell A Story" where we asked photographers to submit a captivating image that conveyed a tale of some kind.

Old-school good looks, classic details, and innovative, effective protection for cameras and photo accessories – the Clik Classic line’s sophisticated retro style and leading-edge features make them fantastic packs for photographers who wander the trails and ramble the urban landscape.

Classic features include felt-lined shoulder straps, leather accessory braze-ons, metal closures, vintage woven labels and rustic charcoal nylon packcloth. Each feature serves a purpose, and together they work to create a retro outdoor mojo that gives the packs a distinctly downtown vintage flair.

And each pack is built to perform for photographers on the go. Innovative padded bays protect lenses, flashes, extra lenses and expensive SLR cameras. Accessory pockets organize the little things, keeping them right at hand. Clever access portals let you access your camera without breaking stride so you never miss the shot.

If you've ever been walking down the street and a picture caught your

digicams might just be item you're seeking. A number of companies, including
Pentax, Casio and Minolta have already introduced such models, each with their
own unique feature sets. Now, Contax, a name renowned for exquisite cameras
and excellent lenses, has jumped into the fray with their own version, the U4R,
a 4-megapixel camera sporting a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* lens. Those familiar
with the amazing image clarity of this line of lenses will immediately recognize
the name; those unfamiliar with it can be assured that it is a legendary name
in optics. The camera has just under a 3x optical zoom lens, delivering the
equivalent of 38-115mm in 35mm format. There's also a digital zoom if
you need it, delivering over 400mm, but as with many digital zooms it's
really a crop into the frame, and will not deliver the quality of the prime
optics.

Many photographers limit their use of Photoshop’s Crop tool to simple tasks like making subtle adjustments to the composition of a shot, or getting in tighter on the main subject of a photo that was captured without the use of a telephoto lens.

Like most of you, I’ve been frustrated by the amount of dust that accumulates not only on my sensors but also on my cameras and lenses in general. It’s an ongoing battle. Take photos, clean cameras; take photos, clean cameras.

Outdoor photographers go to great lengths when editing photos for perfect color, and there are a variety of common methods for accomplishing the task. This tutorial from the PHLOG Photography YouTube channel cuts through the grease by explaining "the difference between Lightroom's two most important color grading tools."
