The European Space Agency (ESA) has released the highest resolution photo ever taken of the Sun that includes its full disc, outer atmosphere, and corona that has ever been captured.
I believe in a happy medium, somewhere between too little and too much. Aristotle defended this view with his Golden Mean, the middle ground between excess and deficiency. Apply it to the pleasures of life, to your emotions, to your decision-making, and it makes practical sense. Even digital photography follows Aristotle’s wisdom.
Photographer Thomas Blanchard has captured the unstable mixture of water and sodium acetate. When subjected to even light agitation, the solution moves from a liquid to a solid, a process he captured in brilliant 8K resolution.
A groundbreaking research project at Heriot-Watt University promises a new camera technology that can affordably deliver millions of frames per second capture in high resolution.
It all started when a couple Iowa guys’ video production company booked a commercial video project with the nation’s largest magazine publisher in collaboration with Arizona tourism. The fun story here is how we ended up on top of a mountain, in the Arizona wilderness, taking photos.

There is a purveying thought that larger resolution sensors, with therefore smaller pixels, are worse than lower resolution sensors, with therefore larger pixels, in low light. This is a myth.
Accomplished astrophotographer Bartosz Wojczyński has created a gigantic 2.2 gigapixel photo of the Milky Way that he was able to capture in just one night, which is an astounding achievement given that a similar 1.7 gigapixel photo took another photographer 12 years to complete.
