Photoshoot and Beyond
NOTE: All images Copyright Scott Bourne – All Rights Reserved I haven’t always been a bird photographer. I’ve done my share of landscape work. Since landscape photography is wildly popular and there are new people jumping into the genre every day, I decided to compile a newbie’s guide to getting good landscape photos. If you…
(Micro Four Thirds Just Took A Big Step Up) I love small, lightweight, inexpensive, powerful cameras. I became interested in the M43 format in the Summer of 2009 when these cameras first started shipping. By 2010 I had purchased my own Micro Four Thirds system and over the ensuing years have upgraded or added to…
Back in 2014 I first reviewed the Drobo Mini and now I’d like to write an update that discusses the unit from a more long-term view. As a refresher – the Mini holds up to four 2.5″ SATA I/II/II drives and one mSATA SSD. This is in effect a fusion drive (similar to the technology…

It’s been a pretty great December. I received an early Christmas gift of an iPad Air. I have owned iPads before and found them very useful for a couple of things such as watching a movie on an airplane, listening to music when I am traveling, or using it as a teleprompter and also as…
I take very seriously my efforts to read as much as I can, visit as many museums as I can, study other art forms as much as I can, so that those things can inform my photography. The way I practice bird photography is very deliberate. I don’t just hope for something to happen – I…
Even though Luminar has only been out for a few weeks, the Photofocus team is enthralled with the program. And MacPhun isn’t resting on its laurels. The team has already started working on improving Luminar. Soon, it will support the new MacBook Pro Touch Bar feature, giving users instant access to some of our most…
A friend of mine took the plunge and pre-ordered, sight unseen, a fully loaded Microsoft Surface Studio with an Intel Core i7 chip, 2TB storage, 32GB RAM and 4GB GPU. The price for this beauty? A whopping $4199! But hey they throw in the puck thing! (That is if you order before December 1.) As…
Editor’s Note: It’s time for something new. In the past, Photofocus has made it a practice of acknowledging a specific camera and/or lens as the “camera/lens” of the year. This year several of us are putting together a list including camera and lens choices along with a few other pieces of gear that we think…
