Photoshoot and Beyond
I have used HDR since day one. Even before there was software to help with the task, I would shoot multiple exposures on slide film and scan them to layer on top of each other. Now we have tools like HDR Soft’s brilliant Photomatix Pro. I still use Photomatix even though you can do…

The Panasonic/Leica partnership is one of the most interesting pairings in photography. And it continues to bear fruit. There are several stellar lenses in the Panasonic lineup to prove it. And let’s face it – Panasonic was smart to team up with the Germans. Let’s also just get this out of the way. When Leica…
It’s been a while since I wrote about a Tamron lens but I have always thought that for the money, they offer good value. Recently, they seem to be upping their game and offering some real contenders that even pros will find tempting. Enter the Tamron SP 85mm f1.8 Di VC USD. It’s a weather resistant,…
Whether you’re shooting video or stills, portable LED lights have become very widely-accepted for use indoors or out because of their portability and their small size/weight.
