Nikon’s New Coolpix P1100

The Nikon Coolpix P1100 is here, bringing its signature insane zoom range—125x optical, reaching up to 3000mm (35mm equivalent). It’s essentially an updated P1000, with the same 16.79MP 1/2.3-inch sensor and f/2.8-8 aperture lens, but with a few refinements.

New features include a dedicated Bird Watching AF mode (optimized for use with Nikon’s ML-L7 remote), a Fireworks mode to better handle long exposures, and a USB-C port. It still shoots 4K at 30p, has Dual Detect Optical VR for stability, and a fully articulating 3.2-inch LCD.

The price? $1,099.95—slightly higher than the P1000’s original $1,000 price tag. It launches in late February, and while it’s not a revolutionary upgrade, it’s still the king of super-zoom bridge cameras, especially for birders and moon shooters.

The Unpro Camera App

Unpro Camera is a new app that promises to strip away the heavy computational processing applied to iPhone photos, delivering a more natural, unprocessed look. It works with iPhones that support ProRAW, allowing it to access the RAW processing pipeline, but it also introduces a unique “deprocessing” method for non-ProRAW models.

Unlike Halide’s Process Zero, which outputs a RAW file for users to edit, Unpro processes the image but saves it as a JPEG, making it more accessible for casual users. The app also embraces a retro design, featuring skeuomorphic UI elements reminiscent of early iOS days. The App is available in the App Store for a one-time fee of $3.99.

Photo Analysis

Welcome to a new addition to the magazine: the photo analysis, where I will analyse a photo and talk about the composition, lighting what’s positive, what’s negative etc. so that you can learn and better your own photography from it ;)

Let’s Analyse this Image:

Composition & Framing

  • Strong framing: The cave walls guide the eye toward the background without making the scene feel cramped.

  • Depth & layering: You’ve got three clear layers—the dark cave, the rocky middle ground, and the vibrant sky—which makes the image feel immersive.

  • Leading lines: That little stream of water pulls your eye from the foreground to the horizon, creating a natural flow through the scene.

  • Balanced composition: The rock formation is just off-center enough to feel dynamic, while the cave walls create a natural balance without overpowering the shot (really really great).

Lighting & Exposure

  • Well-controlled shadows: The cave stays dark and moody but still holds texture, avoiding the common mistake of crushing the blacks - nicely done most photographers make a mistake in that regard.

  • Highlight retention: The sky is vibrant but not blown out, meaning the exposure was either perfectly dialed in or blended in post.

  • Natural light play: The pools of water reflecting the sky subtly brighten the darker areas, keeping the balance between shadow and light just right.

  • Warm-cool contrast: The golden hues of the sunset against the cool blues and grays of the cave create a wonderful cinematic feel.

Texture & Detail

  • Sharp foreground textures: The cave walls and rocky ground are crisp and full of detail, adding weight to the composition.

  • Smooth vs. rough contrast: The still water reflecting the sky contrasts with the jagged rocks. It adds visual interest.

  • Subtle storytelling: The spiderwebs in the upper left corner hint that this cave has been sitting undisturbed for a while—small details like this add character to the shot.

As you may or may not know in the Photo Analysis I also always include the negative things (things that could be better) about the photo. However regarding this photo I really have nothing negative to say hahah. I really like everything about it.
