FOTO FORUM Camera Video, Foto Forum AZ Posted on January 3, 2017 by JeffJanuary 3, 2017

If you’re using an DSLR camera, you’ll eventually require a “Clean & Check” to remove dust spots you encounter due to a dirty camera sensor.  When it occurs it is the result of sensor dust and you’ll need to know how to clean the sensor, and how to minimize the risk of this happening again. What does Sensor Dust look like? A dirty camera sensor is most apparent in smooth, light regions, such as bright skies: Visually check your sensor by taking a photo that includes the sky, Example A, or if in a studio a white or a white/off-white wall. Then import … Continue reading →

Keeping Your Camera Updated & Clean

FOTO FORUM Camera Video, Foto Forum AZ Posted on September 27, 2015 by JeffOctober 23, 2015

At Larmon, we believe a little camera maintenance goes a long way – consider it a small time investment to ensure you are ready to take advantage of every photo opportunity that crosses your path. Most of us are used to traditional maintenance, like keeping your optics clean.  Many of us however, forget that our digital cameras are mini computers. Aside from when you first bought your camera, when was the last time you updated your camera’s firmware? Your camera’s firmware is the software residing on your digital camera that is responsible for handling image processing. Actually, firmware controls a … Continue reading →

The Nikon Z8 is the quintessential Nikon camera—full stop. 💪📸�Built like it’s ready for anything from a weekend soccer match to the roughest assignment a hardened photojournalist can throw at it… and it just grins like, “Is that all you got?” 😏Why the Z8 is such a legend (a true buy-once-cry-once camera for the ages):* 45.7MP full-frame stacked sensor + EXPEED 7 = insane detail and speed* Up to 120 fps bursts when you need to freeze the impossible 🏃‍♂️💥* Video? Oh it came to play: RAW up to 8.3K/60p and 4K/120p 🎥🔥* Released May 2023, and Nikon’s been keeping it fresh with major firmware upgrades—because this camera wasn’t built to be “hot for a month”… it was built to be relevant for years.* Whether you’re just starting out, a serious enthusiast, or a working pro who treats gear like it owes you money, the Z8 is for you. Come by Foto Forum and put your hands on the camera that can do it all. 🙌My friends, don’t forget to have a fantastically blessed day wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, and never stop being amazing.Remember:�Keep on creating.�The image you captured today,�Can change the world tomorrow.Remember:�Be kind to yourself and others.�Be amazing stewards on the trail.�And we have to ask, What are you waiting for? 'Get Out, Arizona!”�We will see you on the next adventure.www.youtube.com/@GetOutArizona#NikonZ8 #NikonZMount #HybridShooter #ProCamera #FotoForumPhoenix ... See MoreSee Less

The Canon RF 10-20mm f/4 L IS STM is the “I’m not playing around” lens for architecture and landscapes. 🏛️🌄�If you’re serious about straight lines, epic perspectives, and ultra-wide storytelling… this is a must-have.Why it’s such a big deal:* 10mm on full-frame is absolutely WILD—up to 130° diagonal angle of view for dramatic interiors, cityscapes, and landscapes 😮‍💨* Designed for rectilinear rendering (and paired with Canon’s in-camera/lens profile corrections) so your lines stay looking right—less time “fixing it later,” more time creating 📐✨* L-series build + built-in hood because this lens is meant to live in the real world, not a padded museum case 💪* Optical IS rated up to 5 stops (and up to 6 stops with coordinated IS on supported bodies) for steadier handheld work—especially helpful for video 🎥* Surprisingly compact for what it is: about 570g (1.25 lb)… aka “your shoulders will forgive you” 😅* No front filter threads (because physics), but it does support a rear gelatin filter holder for the serious landscape crowd 🌅And yes—creative folks, don’t sleep on it for portraits. Ultra-wide portraits can be weird, charismatic, bold… and incredibly fun when you know how to use the distortion on purpose. 😈📸Released October 11, 2023, it came out swinging, and it’s still a standout in 2026. Price? It launched at an estimated $2,299—and with an L-series lens of this caliber, you’re not paying for hype… you’re paying for results. 💸✅I had hands-on time with it when it dropped, and my only question is: Sony… are you paying attention? 😏My friends, don’t forget to have a fantastically blessed day wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, and never stop being amazing.Remember:�Keep on creating.�The image you captured today,�Can change the world tomorrow.Remember:�Be kind to yourself and others.�Be amazing stewards on the trail.�And we have to ask, What are you waiting for?
