Compositing to Recover an Image | A first try-out for ON1 PhotoRAW 2023 I tend to like my photographs to be straight out of camera (SOOC) or if I have to edit them, just trying to achieve a filmic (analogue film) look. That’s not to say that I won’t play around with images, just that […]
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 […]

Spolier alert, this article is about using customised settings in your Fujifilm camera to create unique and interesting jpeg’s straight out of camera (SOOC). RAW shooters may want to turn away now 🙂 My interests in photography are coloured by the work of others, especially those involved in documentary, candid and so called street. Photography […]
The weather here at the moment is bloody aweful. Rain, rain and yet more rain. Oh, and grey skies!! While getting out and about isn’t a huge amount of fun at the moment, it does offer some interesting opportunities for photography, especially if you’re into street / documentary as I am. Normally I seek out […]
