Doors are opening, reader
|
Things are finally beginning to relax as we can mingle in and out of groups. Immunization is up, cases are down. We are on the way to a seemingly new way in which to live our lives. I say "new" because we can never go back to a supposed new normal. So much has happened to negate that. We can only hope lessons have been learned, not counting politicians!

I have been teaching a class for UNM Continuing Education, Photography: Seeing With a New Eye, and it has been a lot of fun! This is my third year teaching the class and of course I am learning a bit as well. UNM will be offering this, again, in the fall. I'll keep you posted in case you are looking for a "New Eye."

• By the way, since I had an incorrect link for the Nikon full-frame article in the last issue, I am repeating it in this newsletter.
|
|
If you experience a missing/incorrect link or serious errors, please contact me and I will post the correct information on the Shadow & Light Magazine site, under the "Errata" tab.
|
|
I thank you all for your readership and continued support!

And.... get outta da house!

Sigma’s 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Redesigned for Mirrorless
|
German printing-specialist WhiteWall has introduced a service, called RoomView, which enables you to pre-visualise how your photographs will look on a wall – and then get specialist advice if needed.
|
RoomView is soon to be integrated into the company’s website so no additional software is required, just the photo you want to hang/frame and an image of the room. Images can be uploaded by a QR code on a smartphone or computer.

Pergear 12mm f/2 Lens Review: Is It An Ultra-Wide Bargain?
Pergear has been making a name for itself in recent years by offering incredibly affordable manual prime lenses for mirrorless cameras. When they reached out to me to see whether I would be interested in reviewing the new 12mm f/2 lens, I jumped at the chance to review a very different lens to the expensive professional OEM lenses I usually use for my own work.

5 Top Ways You Can Add Creative Movement To Your Landscape Shots
The idea of movement isn't usually a thought that first springs to mind when you try to describe what a landscape shot is.
