The f1.2 demand. Canon is already warning demand has been so high for their new 45mm 1.2 lens that there may be delays on launch date. So either get in now, or wait a while. Quick video about the lens here.

Portable Power. SmallRig has announced a new portable battery charger, designed to charge x2 batteries on the go, anywhere. Pre-charge this up and take it to a wedding.. very nice!
Start Cheap. There’s a whole new world of cheap lenses out there over the last few years. AND many are amazing. Meike just released this 85mm 1.8 banger for only $230.

🩰 This Wedding meets Ballet, Polo and Candlelight Perfection: Captured by Bushwhacked
See the behind the scenes story from photographer Bushwhacked
“Lauren messaged me a couple weeks before the wedding asking if we could add a private portrait session in the morning. She had a “getting ready look” that she had created the most insane mood board for. I absolutely adore that my clients are so creative and love to collaborate on their ideas. It was so exhilarating to start the day with a moment of creative freedom before we transitioned into the more documentary moments.”

It’s easy to get lost, and left behind with all of these updates.
So today, we explore one new game changing editing option in Lightroom that you may have missed…
