Fall Landscape Photography: Cameras, Lenses, Gear and Tips for Capturing Autumn at Its Best

BY Joe Donoghue October 2, 2026 Landscapes

There is something about fall that makes people want to pick up a camera. The colour changes quickly. Morning fog hangs over lakes and fields. The light gets softer. Sunsets come earlier. Forest floors fill with texture and contrast. And here in Canada, the season can go from green to peak colour to bare trees in what feels like no time at all. That short window is exactly what makes fall landscape photography so rewarding. Whether you’re heading into Algonquin Park, photographing a favourite trail close to home, or just […]

Sony Alpha Repost: Creative Filmmaking in Motion with the Sony FX5

BY Sony Alpha Universe September 25, 2026 Sony Alpha Universe

Some of the best filmmaking happens when the plan changes. A shift in natural light, an unexpected movement from your subject, or a composition you discover only after you start shooting can completely change the direction of a scene.

That is exactly what director and cinematographer Christina Ienna set out to explore with the new Sony FX5. Working outdoors with dancer Tyler Angell, Ienna kept […]

BY Henry's September 18, 2026 Gear

We take more photos than ever. They live on our phones, memory cards, hard drives, cloud storage, and social feeds. But there is still something completely different about holding a photograph in your hand. A print slows you down. It gives an image a sense of permanence. It turns a photo from something you scroll past into something you can frame, gift, display, scrapbook, sell, or simply keep. And if you’re the kind of photographer who enjoys being involved in the entire creative process, owning a photo printer lets you […]

Summer Is Over. Now What? How to Turn Your Summer Photos Into Something More

BY Joe Donoghue September 11, 2026 Get Inspired, Start Here

Summer has a funny way of filling our phones, memory cards, and hard drives faster than we realize. Family trips. Cottage weekends. Camping. Weddings. Road trips. Backyard barbecues. Wildlife encounters. Sunsets. Kids jumping off docks. Maybe even a few photos you forgot you took. Then September arrives. Schedules fill up again, school starts, evenings get shorter, and suddenly those hundreds, or thousands, of summer photos are sitting untouched. This is actually one of the best times of year to go back through them. Not just to organize your files, but […]

How to Take Better Photos of Your Dog: 5 Tips from a Professional Sony Aplha Universe Pet Photographer

Anyone who has tried photographing a dog knows that getting their attention is only half the battle. The best pet photos aren’t usually the perfectly posed ones—they’re the images that capture personality.

In this Sony Alpha Universe article, pet photographer Rachel Jezowski shares five practical techniques she uses to create authentic dog portraits. From helping […]
