Corral your cables, adapters, and accessories in one of ThinkTank’s durable Cable Management pouches. I have all the details about these newly updated pouches - and put it to the test!
Brilliance AI, the marquee feature of ON1 Photo RAW 2024, is in fact brilliant. I love how ON1 makes AI-powered edits easy without the sacrifice of control. And there’s lots more coming in Photo RAW 2024.
My friends at ON1 have released Photo RAW 2023.5, packing in yet another impressive set of features and improvements. Check it out.
WOW! Has ON1 been busy! ON1 Photo RAW 2023 is coming and is packed with amazing features. Here are the 4 new features I think are the most exciting.
I have added the Haida Filter Bag to my kit in the last couple of months. How does it compare to the MindShift Filter Hive I’ve used and loved for years?
Haida announced a new 2-in-1 filter that combines a circular polarizer and a variable neutral density filter into a single screw-in filter. And I’ve got the details for you.
ON1 Resize AI is coming in April 2022. I have an early look at this amazing photo enlargement software.
After spending a week or so with Luminar Neo, the new AI tools are overall quite good. There are, however, some part that are a step backward for Luminar AI users.
The Haida M10-II Filter Holder system has made several improvements to an already very good system.
The Sandmarc Prolight Mini RGB LED light puts a full-color mobile lighting solution in your pocket. It’s great for video conferencing, product photography, and videography. I’ve got a full review for you.
If you are a handheld photographer, Topaz Sharpen AI will make the camera shake in those slightly blurry photos disappear, giving you crisp and sharp images. Wildlife and portrait photographers can correct for misses in focus. And for landscape photographers, Sharpen AI has general sharpening for scenes that are just slightly soft.
The MindShift Filter Hive is hands down the best $60 I’ve spent to improve my landscape photography field workflow.
My go-to camera backpack got even better. Learn all about the MindShift Rotation Backpack 34L in my review of my favorite camera bag.
I put Haida’s NanoPro Magnetic Variable ND filters to work in the field with my video rig - and I’m very impressed.
I put the Mirrorless Mover bags from ThinkTank to the test. These are great bags for photo walks, vacation outings, and everyday activities.
