Photography

In its inaugural year, the Aerial Photography Awards has delivered an exciting assortment of shots celebrating all kinds of high-flying imagery, from surreal landscapes snapped from helicopters to sublime drone-captured cityscapes.

In 1859, British photographer Thomas Sutton created a camera with a unique water-filled lens – it allowed for some interesting effects. Low-fi camera company Lomography has replicated that lens, and included it in a 35-mm panoramic film camera.

Perhaps we spoke a tad too soon. Adobe has extended the AI-enhanced capabilities of its Photoshop image editing software to include instant sky replacement, some super-easy selection tools and some early Neural Filters, including emotion editing.

Around two years ago, drone maker DJI released a tiny stabilized 4K videocam called the Osmo Pocket. Now the company has announced a second generation model called the Pocket 2, with a much-improved feature set.

Fujifilm has announced a compact new APS-C mirrorless camera designed to bring stability to hand-held stills and video shoots, with the X-S10 offering up to six stops of in-body image stabilization.

LuminarAI will be the first image editing tool of its kind: a creative direction engine that harnesses artificial intelligence to work over your images in a variety of dramatic and impressive ways with full control but no hands-on work whatsoever.

After more than 49,000 entries were whittled down to just 17, the Duchess of Cambridge this week announced the winner of the 2020 Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards at a live-streamed event from London's Natural History museum.

Nikon went full-frame mirrorless around two years ago with the launch of the Z6 and Z7 cameras, and has now announced the second generation – with more processing power, more features and "more of what users want."

The incredible winners from this year's Nikon Small World photo awards strike a unique balance between art and science, offering everything from a surreal close-up of the grooves in an old vinyl record to a stunning image of hippocampal neurons firing.

Panasonic has announced a new MFT mirrorless camera designed for live event streaming, vlogging, mounting to drones and more. Sporting a box shape, the Lumix DC-BGH1 boasts Cinema 4K and 10-bit video recording capabilities.

Fully-manual analog film cameras can be fun and interesting to use, but it sucks when they don't have a built-in light meter. That's where the Hedeco Lime One comes in, as it's a digital light meter that can be added to such cameras.

The Close-up Photographer of the Year competition highlights seldom-seen close-up textures and details of animals, insects, plants and materials. Galice Hoarau's electrifying image of an eel larva snapped during a blackwater dive is the 2020 winner.
