I recently hosted another large photography meet-up in Watkins Glen, New York (Aka The 2016 Watkins Glen Flickr Gathering Aka #WGFG2016 Aka the greatest weekend ever to happen anywhere ever.) … And by large I mean there were 30 of us. I hosted a meet up last year (you can read about that here and/or here), and even […]

Smartphones are fuelling the sales of DSLRs, at least according to the Hindustan Times. There’s little doubt that smartphones have usurped compact cameras as the “gateway drug” to photography. Many people I know, […]

The promotional video for Microsoft’s new Pix app is very impressive. Sure, sometimes you want to get as much control as you can, so you fire up Camera+ or 645 Pro. Sometimes, though, you just want to bring up the app and grab a half decent snap. Now, Microsoft have now launched Pix, a camera application […]
