Looking to do Cheap Photography on a Budget – Film photography might be just what you are searching for Although there are many reasons not to consider a life outside of digital photography, cost isn’t really one of them. If you are a keen photographer and already shooting digital, my guess is that you’ll already […]
I first started shooting and developing film back in the 1980’s. I remember those first experiences and in particular, sitting in a cupboard loading film into a developing tank.

Most photo editing software seems to support only a few cameras with direct tethering from within the application. One such product that I use is On1 PhotoRAW 2022. This supports just two camera brands, Nikon and Canon. Fortunately I am a Nikon user so I am able to tether the D600 to PhotoRAW without too […]
In Part 1 of this two part examination of Luminar Neo I looked at how Relight Ai handled a typical portrait taken under difficult lighting. This second part looks at how PortraitPro Studio 21 handles the exact same job. No attempt has been made to enhance the portrait in either software, firstly because the beta […]
First off let me say that the experience of falling in water with your camera around your neck is not the best fun you can have.
