Photoshoot and Beyond
As the well-known advertising jingle says, the holidays are coming. A time when families get together, eat, drink, be merry and generally have a whale of a time. So there’s no better time to whip out the phone and start capturing images of the frivolity. If you want to get great pictures though, there are […]
Previously, you had to be an Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber to make use of Lightroom Mobile for Android. With the new version 1.4 available now in the Google Play Store, Lightroom Mobile is free to use.

We’re all carrying around mini computers these days so it stands to reason that we’d use them to help plan and run our day. One app that helps me a lot is The Photographer’s Ephemeris, an app for desktop, iOS and Android. What Does The Ephemeris Do? In short, The Photographer’s Ephemeris gives details of […]
Instagram is singlehandedly responsible for the resurgence of the square format photo. It’s the reason we have a square photo template available in the iPhone camera app. And now, Instagram is opening its doors to non-square formats.
