There is perhaps no truer sign of summer than Independence Day in the United States. The Fourth of July is when the summer season kicks into full gear, with barbeques, pool parties, family gatherings, and road trips galore—not to mention the fireworks!
One lead-up to this holiday that I will never forget found me hurtling down the New Jersey Turnpike at sunset in a Greyhound bus. As the twilight deepened, bright bursts of fireworks began shooting up past the tree line, close by and at a distance, reflecting in the darkened glass of the

If your mom isn’t just the family photographer, but the family’s director of photography, production designer, and art director as well, chances are she’ll appreciate a photo-related gift for Mother’s Day. But if she’s the type of mom who loves to research and investigate every purchase she makes, you might want to think outside the box to find a gift that surprises or excites her or is just something she doesn’t already have. Here are some suggestions for Mother’s Day photo gifts for the mom who has it all:

For years, young photo enthusiasts have been striving to add a nostalgic look to their photos. From smartphone camera filters to old hand-me-down point-and-shoot cameras, we’ve been chasing a look that just can’t be replicated.

Any place in the world can be a photo destination in the winter, but the general idea is to explore a few locations that offer wonderful photographic possibilities in winter that they might not offer in summer. We want to make use of all that snow and everything else the cold temperatures have to offer. After all, we can enjoy the warmer weather come spring. We can always blend in a bit of that warm escapism we all crave after a few months of short days, snow, and cold.

Not all fathers are photographers, but for those who are, I’d argue that a point-and-shoot camera is essential tech for the dads in the world. Even for those with the latest smartphone, point-and-shoots are dedicated, purpose-built tools that excel in areas where phones can’t quite keep up. And, besides, dads love tools, right?

When it comes to choosing the best camera for wildlife, sports, and action photography, three key factors to focus on are speed, reliability, and autofocus performance. In the past, with SLRs, the flagship models usually translated to being the top models for action photography. The same is still true today, with mirrorless cameras, but speed is now more

In a stunning reversal of fortune, point-and-shoot cameras—which have long been dismissed as defunct—are currently experiencing a major resurgence. In both new and used markets, sales of point and shoots are way, fueled in part by nostalgia and the perceived shortcomings of smartphone cameras. With expanded feature sets, manual exposure controls, built-in and/or external flash support, and optical

Most of our articles on cameras concern their performance, their features, what’s new, what they’re good for, and where they fit in a brand’s lineup, but it’s worth also considering a camera’s design and aesthetics. While it’s the definition of superficial judgement, thinking about how good a camera looks—how stylish it is—can affect your desire to use the camera. You might be more likely to reach for the camera that looks good, feels good, and is a joy to use and carry rather than a camera that outperforms on paper but isn’t enjoyable to work

There have been many iterations and variations of the Leica Q since its inception, and all have shared the same phenomenal 28mm Summilux lens. That lens has lasted through collaborations, exterior redesigns, and even multiple sensor generations—which is an impressive feat considering ever-increasing sensor resolutions.
