Nikon’s Latest Patent

Nikon might have more fast lenses on the way. A new patent, spotted by Japanese site Asobinet, shows designs for what look like two new wide-angle primes: a 24mm f/1.2 and a 28mm f/1.2. These would join Nikon’s current trio of f/1.2 lenses — the 50mm, 85mm, and 35mm — which have all been super well received by both reviewers and photographers.

If these new lenses actually make it to production, they’d be a big win for low-light and astro shooters looking for sharp, bright glass. The 35mm f/1.2 was the last lens on Nikon’s official roadmap, so these patents might be a hint at what’s coming next.

Of course, patents don’t always lead to real products — but it’s fun to dream, especially when Nikon’s been on a roll lately.

The Ultimate Display for Creatives?

Dough, the company behind the Spectrum displays, just dropped news on their latest project: the Dough Canvas — a 32-inch 6K monitor built with creatives in mind, especially photographers.

The display uses LG’s new 6K IPS Black panel, which means it’s super sharp, has true 10-bit color, and covers almost the entire Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 colour spaces — perfect if you care about colour accuracy. It’s also got a glossy, anti-reflective screen that helps make the visuals pop while keeping glare in check. The design is all metal — no cheap plastic here — and it looks right at home next to a Mac setup. What’s cool is that the final features aren’t set in stone yet. Dough is letting users help decide things like port layout, speaker options, webcam design, and power delivery setup. If you want a say, you can join the development process on Dough’s site.

Pricing isn’t official yet, but Dough says it’ll be more affordable than Apple’s $1,599 Studio Display. No exact launch date either.

Weekly Photo Technique Exploration

Welcome to a new section of the magazine where every week we will explore a new photography technique from across various photography genres.

This week’s technique: Double Exposure Photography

What Is Double Exposure?

At its core, double exposure is when you combine two different photos into a single image. You might blend a portrait with a landscape, or overlay textures onto a silhouette. The idea is to create a composition that feels dreamy, symbolic, or just straight-up visually interesting.

Originally, this was done with film cameras by exposing the same frame of film twice. Nowadays, you can do it in-camera (some digital cameras have a multiple exposure setting), or in post-processing using Photoshop or mobile apps.

Why Use It?

Because it opens the door to creative storytelling. You’re not just capturing what’s in front of the lens—you’re building an idea, a feeling, a concept. You can:

• Combine a person and a place

• Overlay memories, emotions, or symbols

• Turn a simple shot into something layered and poetic

How to Shoot a Double Exposure (The Basics)

1. Start with a Strong Silhouette or Subject
If you’re working with a person, side profiles work great. You want a shape that’s clear and has negative space to "fill" with the second image.

2. Choose a Second Image with Texture or Meaning
Think trees, clouds, cityscapes, flowers, waves—something that complements or contrasts the first image. The second photo often “fills in” the shadows of the first.

3. Blend Them (In-Camera or in Post)

• In-camera: Some DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have a multiple exposure mode. It’ll let you shoot both images back to back and blend them automatically.

• In editing: You can do it in Photoshop by stacking two layers and using blending modes (usually “screen” or “lighten”) and layer masks to finesse the effect.

Tips for Better Double Exposures

• Shoot high contrast subjects for the first image—it helps define the shape.

• Use overexposed backgrounds in the second image to avoid muddy blends.

• Think symbolically—what do the two images say together?

• Experiment—this technique is half technical, half intuitive. There’s no single “right” way to do it.

Creative Ideas to Try

A portrait overlaid with trees to symbolise growth or connection to nature

A city skyline filling the shape of a face—urban identity

A dancer’s silhouette mixed with smoke or water for motion and fluidity

A quiet landscape with a faded photo of someone who used to be there—memory and place intertwine
