Photography News: Leica SL3-S Announced, Nikon January Sale

Some old photography “rules” are hard to kill. That was apparent to me yesterday afternoon when I went out cross-country skiing (rather foolishly carrying a full camera backpack, my Z9, and my tripod along). The rule in question? Not shooting into the sun! As I took the photo below, a woman walked up to me and asked what I could possibly be photographing. She wasn’t a photographer, but she certainly knew the age-old rule about never shooting into the sun. But with modern lens coatings, I find that shooting into the sun can lead to lovely silhouettes and moody photos. So to kick off this week’s photography news, I leave you with the photo below.
