If you haven’t heard yet, Lightroom 4 beta is out! http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lightroom4/ So who out there is using it? I’m waiting for the final version to come out so I don’t need to run two separate catalogues as Betas never allow you to import legacy...

Watched this tonight. For some reason I thought it was about some Russian spy LOL. The move starts slow before it draws you in. I enjoyed it but I think I was expecting bit more action and stuff from it. Won’t spoil it for those who haven’t seen it…..I’d recommend you go

Don’t worry, I haven’t gone insane and decided to write another review of the Ranger RX. Just an update on how I am finding the pack and head after about 2 years of using it. Everyone likes to review things when they are new so here’s some “after thought” on the...

I’ve been on the Flickr Strobist Australia group for awhile now and it’s where I started my off camera learnings. I really started to learn when I went to shoot on my own, the learning curve was steep but worth the effort. Anyway it’s been years since I’ve been to a...

Last Friday I was over in Auckland, New Zealand where I teamed up with DF Images and we ran a glamour workshop over the course of the weekend. We had eight photographers at various stages of their passion, two models and DF’s assistant for the whole weekend where we talked about...
