Lexar’s 633x 200GB microSDXC Card

I’ve had this card for over 6 months, and I get so baffled every time I think about it. 200GB in a microSDXC card! That’s just ludicrous! Every time I think about what I could do with this card, I kind of freak out. It shouldn’t really surprise me in this day and age, but I…

A Year and Some Change with the Fujifilm X-T1

I can’t believe how fast time has flown by. I remember when I started to slowly sell my special Canon gear after the purchase of my Fujifilm X-T1. Do I miss the Canon? How did my X-T1 hold up? Well the experience has been kind of different, but still positive. If you missed out on…

Instagram Grids– Hot or Not?

Grids. Banners. Cubes. Whatever you call them. More and more companies and individuals have been jumping onto this trend since the Summer of 2015.

Using eBay to find deals on lenses

I found my copy of Canon’s EF 20-35mm F/2.8 on eBay of all places, and while I don’t typically sell on eBay, I’ll buy like no other. People are worried about scams and not receiving items as described, but in my experience of buying upward towards 500 expensive items, I’ve only had issues with only…

Synchronizing folders in Lightroom

As much as I try to keep my workflow minimal and simplistic, sometimes there are other pieces of software that I’d like to use that don’t seamlessly integrate with Lightroom. When you use a third party program to edit a picture outside of Lightroom’s knowledge (i.e. when Lightroom is closed), Lightroom doesn’t have a chance […]

Most consumers don’t know that there are differences between memory cards besides the obvious capacities and different formats that are available.

Increase Mouse Accuracy in OSX

If you’ve ever switched from a PC to a Mac, there’s no doubt that you’ve realized that moving the mouse just isn’t the same– like something doesn’t feel right. I really noticed it when I was younger and played video games that needed precision, and maybe you have experienced it too. That sensation is called […]

Fujifilm X-T1 Firmware Update v4.20

Fujifilm announced a new firmware update, v4.20, for the X-T1! Fujifilm has been known to listen to us, their users, to update features. I, for one, am super excited for the ability to shoot with the a flash in continuous low and continuous high, as previously, one could only fire the flash on a single […]

X-Rated – The Solution to Understanding X-Speed Memory Card Speeds.

Dang it, why isn’t there a universal tech language out there?! I mean seriously, as photographers and videographers, we already have to deal with all sorts of random vocabulary to understand our craft, why must there be even more to decipher? Now that my rant is slightly over, let me share the super secret code that […]

FujiFilm X-T1 Wireless Camera Control

While it isn’t very often for my family to ask me to make our family pictures, I typically have fun with it. This go around, which is the first time in my family’s history, I decided to play with a feature on my camera that allows my phone, the iPhone 6S, to work with FujiFilm X-T1 […]
