Sony to Release 42MP A99 Successor with 499 AF Points and 4K: Report

Renowned photographer Carol M. Highsmith is reportedly suing Getty Images for $1 billion, claiming that the stock photo company committed copyright infringement through the "gross misuse" of 18,755 of her photographs documenting America.

This photograph shows the camera equipment that Getty Images photographers will be using Brazil for the upcoming Rio Olympic Games. That's a lot of high-end Canon DSLR gear.

Photographer Matt Sprouse of Greenwood, South Carolina, shot this clever parody of those popular water hair flip photos that typically feature girls with long hair (rather than guys with long beards).

For the second time in as many months somebody has tried to use my images to lie to models about their photography. Because of this deception, it's certainly no giant leap to accuse these individuals of ill intent, especially if they are actively lying to models in their first messages of contact.

Microsoft today launched Microsoft Pix, a new smart camera app for the iPhone that uses artificial intelligence features to help you shoot better photos.

We keep seeing crazy patents come across our desks and filing them under "never-gonna-happen." Is that what we would have thought of Nikon's new AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED 'world's fastest' lens if we'd seen it as a patent? Quite possibly.

The Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the world's largest salt flat, and a dream location for landscape photographers hunting for special shots. Russian photographer Daniel Kordan visited the salt flat at night and captured a set of photos showing the Milky Way being reflected by the flooded plain.

TL;DR: If you are using Dropbox as a sole backup of your files, think again. Without making a mistake, you might lose your files. I started using Dropbox back in 2009 and have always loved the service. Over time, I kept moving more and more files to my Dropbox folder and eventually had to upgrade to the Pro plan to keep up with the space requirements. In particular, I moved there all of my photos in order to be able to view/share them online and also to have them backed up. In April of this year, a hard drive in my laptop was running low on space so I decided to use the Dropbox's Selective Sync feature to unsync some large directories from the laptop. Because there was never any problem with the service and also because it's already the year 2014, I thought it might be about time that one can trust a cloud-based storage service and use them as a sole backup of their files. Boy, I was wrong.

Ditching extraneous gear pays dividends when you're traveling -- and not only the ones you might expect.

Got a hankering for "thousands" of working, well-maintained cinema lenses? Have $1,000,000 to spare? If you answered yes to both questions, you're in luck. There's an eBay listing with your name written all over it.

Well, I did it. I switched from Nikon to Sony. I never thought I would, especially after attempting the Sony camera system twice previously. But as it turns out, my issues with Sony cameras have been resolved, for the most part, thanks to the A7RII.

John S. Payne is a professional photographer who has been running a studio since 1985. He has also spent decades collecting Nikon gear, amassing an arsenal of cameras and lenses worth over $100,000.

I've been a street photographer for a while now, and I would like to share what I believe are 3 popular misconceptions about street photography -- things I've seen pop up over and over.

It's easy to forget that Sony doesn't just make full-frame mirrorless cameras, but they do. And it sounds like Sony is about to remind you that they do with an impressive successor to the Sony a99 that they plan to release "very soon."

There's an interesting lens coming for Nikon photographers. A new Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED lens has been leaked early, offering us a glimpse at the soon-to-be world's fastest 105mm prime lens.

The artist statement Nancy LeVine sent us for her series Senior Dogs Across America begins with a paragraph that left this writer in tears—a tribute to the two dogs she had to let go of. "I loved them passionately," she writes. "To the quiet, exquisite presence of each aged dog, I honor them with this work."

Here's a fun little video to help you get over hump day and on to the second half of the week. A weather camera at the top of a tower in Nebraska got an unexpected visit from a curious hawk this week.

A home security camera has captured the cringe-inducing way a $500 camera lens was delivered to an Amazon customer in Indiana. As you can see in the 30-second video above, the delivery man couldn't be bothered to take a few extra steps and bend over.

Here's a quick retouching tip that almost every portrait photographer will end up using at least once: how to quickly and easily fix shiny or oily skin in both Photoshop and Lightroom.

If you've in the market for a tiny, fun, manual focus bokeh monster to carry around with you, photographer Nitsan Simantov would like to introduce you to his "favorite lens ever": The Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.4 MC.
