Nikon Teases Full Frame Mirrorless Camera + Leaked Photos
I don’t tend to write too many news stories on this site but every now and then something comes up that will surely make waves within the industry. Rumours have been swirling around for some time about a potential full frame mirrorless camera from Nikon, and judging by the teaser video they just released, it appears that we are going to see it very soon. The video clearly highlights a brand new mount which will be called the FX mount. The photography industry has been patiently waiting for both Nikon and Canon to enter the full frame mirrorless market so …
Luminar Flash Sale: Lock In the Lowest Price Yet!
Luminar from Skylum Software has been making waves in the world of photo editing software in the last year or so. Not only is it powerful, but it’s also incredibly fun and quick to use. You only have to take a look at my tutorial for adding sun rays to a photo in Luminar, to see how simple they have made it to add effects that would take ten times longer in something like Photoshop. This weekend they are having a flash sale to get Luminar for just $49, which is the cheapest it has ever been. But you really …
35% Off All Formatt-Hitech Filters – Just For YOU!
I’m not posting all the Black Friday deals that I’ve been sent, because frankly some of them aren’t that great. Every company thinks they have to do something, and some of the deals are minimal.

These products were launched in a 5-day Kickstarter campaign that raised an incredible $1.4 million! Now it’s time to take a look at the new versions of the Slide and Slide Lite camera straps that are also being launched with this campaign.

Macphun Changes Its Name to Skylum Software
In the last couple of years, Macphun have emerged as a huge player in the photography software industry, and they seem to be gaining momentum every month. The company started life by creating iOS apps, but then quickly moved into image editing with a number of task-specific plugins for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. In the last couple of years however, the company has switched gears and produced two incredibly powerful programs called Aurora HDR and Luminar which operate as standalone programs, or plugins for other pieces of software. In my opinion, Aurora HDR is the best HDR program out there …
Drobo Announced a New Thunderbolt 3 Unit and Here’s Why I’m Curious…
If any of you have been keeping track of my semi-regular updates about my backup solution and general photo storage workflow, you may remember that my primary devices are currently Drobo 5Ds. My history with Drobo goes back to the very first generation Firewire products, and back then they were buggy and unreliable machines that caused me to write some less than flattering reviews. In recent years though, the company has undergone a change in management, and very clear steps have been made to improve the reliability of their machines. Aside from a recent power adapter failure on one of …
