Today I walk you through the updated Color Efex Pro 4 from Nik Software. As you'll see, this gives you amazing control over the look of your images, and I only touch the surface with regards to the available filters. I owned Color Efex Pro 3, as part of the Complete...
At the start of June 2010, about 10 days after I got my iPad, I released Episode 246 about the iPad for the Photographer. At the time, I spoke about a bunch of apps that I had sought out and started to use, from a photographer's perspective. Last week I got an email...
This week I've had the absolute pleasure of being able to test and review a Drobo, which as most of you already know is an external storage device that takes multiple hard drives, even of different size and creates one or more large volumes or drives with redundancy...
Just a quick post here to share my findings having just picked up a CalDigit SuperSpeed Expresscard 34 USB3.0 adapter. The CalDigit product line was brought to my attention recently by a friend Tim Linn. I'd been looking for a USB3.0 adapter that works with my MacBook...

For a while now, I've been using the Black Rapid R-Strap and Double Strap when using two cameras, but during my recent Antarctica expedition, the camera body dropped off the lens a few times. Had this happened while I was walking down the gangplank to the Zodiac, it...
About six months ago, I decided that it was time to make my compact digital camera really compact. I traded in my Canon PowerShot G10 for a PowerShot S95. The G10 was a nice camera, but it's not really all that compact. It certainly isn't small enough to just stuff in...
I love it when a package arrives from B&H, and today was no exception. When ordering some 24" rolls of Hahnemuhle Photo Rag a few days ago, I checked my Wish list, and found that the Westcott 7' Octabank was down in price by a couple of hundred dollars, and I have...
Following on from the last video, here's a look at how I kept my camera bag, and of course that means my camera equipment, dry during our Zodiac rides in the Antarctic recently. You often take waves over the side of the Zodiac, and even just the spray from waves can...
This is a short video to show you how I used my Neos Adventurer All Season Overshoes from Outdoor Photo Gear, to keep my legs and feet warm and dry while in Antarctica and the Falkland Islands recently. It's not an incredibly difficult subject but it took me a few...
