Best Email Marketing Service for Photographers | Aweber vs Mailchimp

There are plenty of ways to market your business; and with limited time and resources, it’s hard to determine which ones are worth pursuing. The argument for Email Marketing Campaigns is that Google search algorithms change, social networks come and go, but people will always check their email. This is why it’s important to at least consider a newsletter service. It’s easier than you think and often times it can be free.

Dot Line “DLC” DL-0316 Flash Bracket Review

I recently traded in my studio lights for a speedlight based system. I have not been doing much studio work and they were literally sitting in my garage collecting dust. So, I traded them in and got a new (to me) lens, some speedlight light modifiers, and a few cheap Yongnuo YN-460II speedlights to join my YN-56o.

A great alternative to your standard softboxes are these Umbrella Softboxes, another plus is that they are designed to be used with speedlights.

Nikon D7100 Field Review: Breaking The Mold, Again

Nikon seems to be the champion of “trickle-down features”. What does that mean? Over the ~4 generations of Nikon DSLRs that have come out in the past decade or so, Nikon has had the habit of taking flagship features from their high-end pro cameras, and putting those features in the more affordable model cameras. When the Nikon D300 came out along side the flagship D3, it was a $1800 camera with roughly the same autofocus system as a $5,000 camera.

 
Pentax MX1 Review

Pentax MX-1 Review via Barcelona Street Photography

I’ve recently reviewed the Fuji X-Pro 1 followed by Sigma’s DP2 Merrill. Both cameras have innovative APSc sensors and incredible image quality.

Canon RAW Image Size and Dynamic Range Comparison

Question: Are all RAW image qualities and file sizes created equal? As a Nikon user, I’ve asked myself this question a few times over the years now because there are all kinds of RAW compression options. But on Canon DSLRs there is something different these days, there is mRAW.
