This week, it’s been reported from several news outlets that OnlyFans, the popular premium subscription service known mostly for explicit content will be banning explicit content from October 1, 2021 forward.

For the longest time, my favorite lens on any camera system was a 35mm wide-aperture prime. The focal length forced me to get “in the action” for impactful portraits, yet it was wide enough to capture wide angle scenes.

While most photographers use a drone to create aerial images, sometimes, that isn’t enough. Sometimes, you want to soar like an eagle, going 50 mph over the sheer face of a mountaintop as you photograph.

And of course, those can be incredible images, but the conditions required to create them are often not present, and they are not the only compelling type of landscape photo. This excellent video shows you that you can create good landscape images no matter what the conditions you encounter.
Have you ever seen the camera pan across the photographers during the World Cup and wondered: “How did they get that job? What is that lens they’re shooting with?” Well, Fstoppers, I have all the answers for you. I had the privilege to chat with Ammar Hassan, who covered not one, but four World Cup championships, and he was gracious to tell us all about what it’s like to photograph the world’s most watched sporting event.
I’ve been in the game for a little while, and along the way, there have been a few “new” things. New flashes, diffusers, scrims, softboxes, continuous light panels, LED wands, animated photos, cinemagraphs, mirrorless cameras, the list goes on and on, not to mention Photoshop and Lightroom, which update more often than I wash my sheets. But the one “new” I was not expecting to face was a new photography usage that has made me have to think anew about composition: Instagram.
