Exposure bracketing is a powerful technique that enables you to achieve a perfect exposure when shooting in difficult light, like complicated outdoor scenes with a wide range of tones from bright highlights to deep shadows. Today's comprehensive beginners guide comes to us from The School of Photography (TSoP)—an amazing source of online courses and a leading provider of education to schools and colleges in the UK.

Last week we featured an interesting video from one of favorite wildlife and landscape photographers who insists that your camera's Aperture Priority mode is preferable to shooting in Manual for certain situations. We're following up on that today with a quick tutorial from Vanessa Joy who demonstrates how to use shutter speed to capture images with a variety of creative effects.

We all spend hours cultivating our skills, to say nothing about the hard-earned cash we invest in the best gear we can afford. So it's often quite traumatic when we lose some or all of our work due to incorrect storage techniques or the improper care of memory cards and backup devices.

Drool in a good way, of course. Here are three 3LT products that stand out in the cluttered accessory marketplace.

Today's inspirational how-to video from The Photographic Eye YouTube channel takes a close look into why some scenes literally beg to rendered in b&w, with a specific emphasis on the interplay between deep shadows and other areas within the frame. The episode begins with a request that you "think about the first time you fell in love with photography."

Nikon just announced the Nikon Z5II, a full-frame intermediate-level mirrorless packed with high-end, high-performance features and priced at SRP $1999.95 with Nikkor Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 lens ($1699.95 body-only).

Certain to be a market disrupter, the new Nikon Z5II features film-inspired "looks" that instantly change the color characteristics of a scene and are conveniently accessible via a dedicated Picture Control button. To sweeten the pot, customers who purchase the Nikon Z5II and register their camera will also get one year of Lightroom + 1TB of Adobe Creative Cloud storage (Limited Time Offer).
