There are a number of options for editing consoles out there for photo and video editing. I’ve tested quite a few, all with their own strengths as well as weaknesses. Some consoles are geared more toward photography editing, some video, and some excel at both. Here’s a quick rundown of the ones I’ve used…..
Read MoreTripods: Part One - Legs
You've probably heard it before (for good reason): a good tripod is one of the most valuable investments you can make as a photographer (and videographer, though for often very different reasons). Conversely, one of the worst investments you can make is in a mediocre or straight-up bad tripod. If you skimp on the support, you might as well tack on the cost of those useless legs to the price you tried to avoid paying for one that does its job. Not to mention the headaches you’ll encounter wondering why your photographs haven’t improved.
I’ve used a lot of tripods over the years. Like most photographers, I started out with a cheap $50 (including the head) piece of garbage under the false assumption that all tripods are basically the same (I mean, they just hold your camera and not move, right?).

Disclaimer: I am an affiliate of both UsedPhotoPro and KEH, so any referrals via this site do net me a small fee. However, there are very good reasons I wanted to partner with them. Keep reading for more on that.
Read MoreAbout My Reviews & This Site
First of all, thank you for visiting my new site. As noted above, it is still under construction but should be fully functional shortly.
This is site is centered around photography (and some videography/cinematography). The main types of content you will find here are:
1) Gear reviews (e.g. lenses, cameras, tripods, etc.)
2) Informational articles about photography (e.g. shooting technique or post-processing in ACR & Photoshop)
3) "Musings" or general thoughts about photography and the camera industry.
4) Articles that are more nebulous in nature (for example, I'm working on one about Cinema vs. Stills Photography) - I guess these could be called "philosophical" articles.
