The Nikon ZR had been in development for a few years and before the acquisition of RED Cinema in 2024. Still, Nikon used its new asset to enhance the camera, resulting in a model that is significantly more powerful and versatile than what was originally envisioned.

This Poster Celebrates the History of Nikon F Cameras

Nikon introduced the Nikon F SLR back in April of 1959, so this year is the 60th anniversary of the popular camera system. To celebrate, the Nikon Museum in Tokyo created a poster with a timeline of F-mount bodies. The poster features 169 different camera models and costs ¥1,200 (~$11). It’s a limited edition product so it’ll be gone once it sells out. Unfortunately for photographers who don’t live in the Tokyo area, there may not currently be a simple way to order this poster and have it delivered, so your best bet may be to try and snag one later on from a reseller.

Khloe Kardashian Brings Own Lighting to DMV for Driver’s License Photo

Here’s an unusual idea that you may only be able to pull off if you’re rich, famous, and well-connected: socialite Khloe Kardashian wanted the perfect driver’s license photo, so she decided to bring her own portrait lighting and makeup artist to the DMV. In a recent episode of the reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians , Kardashian brought lighting director Landon Hosto and her friend Malika Haqq to the DMV to help improve her driver’s license photo. After getting touched up by Haqq, Kardashian posed for her official portrait while Hosto held up a giant ring light in front of her for the DMV camera to shoot through. Kardashian was pleased with the way her photo turned out. Getting a driver’s license photo shot at the DMV is often a painful experience involving long waits and an ugly photo, but apparently you can overcome at least one of those issues if you’re a celebrity with a TV show named after you.
