I've been feeling the urge to get back to my roots a bit and take deeper looks into photography discussions. I struggled with the results of this photo but thought that topic was interesting enough to look at why I continued to take the same shot continually in the story I wanted to tell. Composition is one of the hardest subjects to really grasp and talk about because it's simply so versatile and subjective.

Amateur VS Pro Photographer: Camera or Skill? (Fuji X100VI vs iPhone 16 Pro)

I’m a full time landscape photographer who’s lived on the road for over 3 years living and breathing photography while making videos like this one where I’ve compared the newest iPhone to my daily professional camera, the Canon R5 in real world situations. Last years iPhone 15 Pro was quite lackluster for improvements over it’s predecessor. This year is different and there are numerous big changes in the iPhone 16 pro including the addition of an updated sensor to the ultra-wide camera, a brand new camera control button, and what I think is the most significant update of the iPhone 16 pro giving us the ability to take insanely high quality raw images at a fraction of the size. So In this video we’ll be testing that new ultra-wide sensor for both landscape and macro style images, plus the main camera sensor in multiple conditions, and lastly ill show you how incredible these new raw images can be. And if you stick around to the end, I even have some Aurora shots to show you, so sit back, relax, and join me as I take you along in one of the most beautiful places in the world, fall in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado.

Its always been the format most of us have shot in for decades and maybe its time we look at a new format for the future. In this video I show you just how capable modern compression methods can be when editing raw images using the new JPEG XL standard. You still get all the benefits of a raw with detail retention, white balance adjustments, and overall image quality but at a fraction of the size. A staggering 90% reduction in many cases yet preserving every detail. Currently we cannot shoot with this method yet but we can apply it to our photos in the latest version of Lightroom. Dont trust this YouTube video, go and try it for yourself!
