Heroclip – The Handy Tripod and Camera Bag Accessory

I stumbled upon the Heroclip through an online advert and was immediately intrigued. I usually have a carabiner on my camera bag anyway, but it appeared as though this ingenious product added even more functionality for very little added weight and bulk. After exchanging a quick email with the company, they sent a pair over for me to test and review them from a photographer’s perspective. The photos do most of the explaining, but essentially the Heroclip is a traditional carabiner with an added rotating hook built into it. You can use it just like a normal accessory carabiner (not …

Whatever Happened to Mirrorless Miniaturization?

As consumers, we are entering a period of radical change in the photography industry with the introduction of so many new full-frame mirrorless cameras and lenses.

For those that don’t know, the journey actually started with me as an aerospace engineer in England. I’m incredibly proud to have been a part of this project and I hope it …

Skylum Software Tease Luminar Update With Lightroom-Style Library Features

There’s no doubt that Skylum Software’s Luminar is one of the most powerful and popular Lightroom alternatives when it comes to actually editing photos. Whilst I test a great many applications so that I am knowledgeable for my work on Shutter Muse, Luminar is the only one that seems regular usage outside of my usual Lightroom and Photoshop routines. The major thing that has been lacking from Luminar is some form of asset management. Continuous updates to Luminar over the last couple of years have brought the editing side of things up to a very high standard, but for many …

Canon’s Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera System is Here

Canon’s first mirrorless full-frame camera has landed, and it appears to have a lot going for it on paper. The internet has been awash with leaks and rumours about this camera for the past two weeks, and just about the only thing not to have leaked was the price. It’s all very well having a complete list of camera specifications, but without the price, it’s hard to pass much judgement. Today we found out that the EOS R will be $2299 when it hits stores in October, and I think that price will surprise a few people. This places the …
