Lightroom’s HDR Merge in Depth

Canon 5DS R: Still the Best Camera You Can Buy for Architectural Photography

Canon 5DS R: Still the Best Camera You Can Buy for Architectural Photography

by Usman Dawood
In February 2015, Canon released what I think is the best architectural camera made so far. Almost 5 years on and this camera is a little long in the tooth but in my view still the best camera you can buy for this specific type of photography. I’m aware some of you may want to point out the Sony options or Fujifilm medium format cameras, but, nothing comes close to how good the Canon 5DS R is.

Will There Ever Be Another World’s Tallest Building?

by Mike Kelley
In my never-ending quest to soak up as much architectural knowledge as possible, I stumbled across this video by one of our favorite YouTube channels, The B1M. While not directly related to architectural photography, the video provides a very interesting insight into the economics and struggles involved when it comes to pushing through landmark developments on the scale of Shanghai Tower, Burj Khalifa, etc – subjects that we’d all love to get hired to photograph.As
