Perfectly Clear announced the Perfect Exposure plug-in and best of all it is free. Get it here. I installed it and ran it against a recent sunrise image, screenshot below. My initial reaction is that in the right situation I might use it instead of Lightroom's graduated filter. The price is...

My stepson and I just carried in my wife's new 150 pound "baby".

I'm not sure how long the deal will be available, but Amazon US is offering the Creative Cloud subscription for only $7.99 a month. This saves you $24 a year. More info here. Only available in the US.

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware sunrise from Saturday morning.

Never tried to fix a camera myself but @D200freak is our resident Camera Doctor. He may have an idea. ;)

Let's all sing Bobby Vinton songs to celebrate! "Moja droga ja cie kocham...." In case you don't know about his contributions to the American Revolution, take a look at this Wikipedia entry. And yes it is a holiday in some parts of the US like my hometown of Chicago.

That new FF Pentax brought back fond memories of my first SLR - the amazing Pentax Super Program. Carried that thing all over the world long after I got out of the AF. The controls and feel of that camera now remind me of my.... wait for it...... Fuji X-T1. (w/ much :heart: to @Blacktop and...

Playing around with my new to me X-E2 and 23mm using the puppy as a subject. Not the best image as she was sitting in my lap. I'm calling this "I got my eye on you!"

Thanks all and especially for the great ideas! Much to my wonderful wife's consternation, I did buy myself a "little something" (see here). Now is the hard part but the end is in sight. I can tell her that it was Cindy and Marcel's idea too!!

Received this notice early this morning US East Coast time:

Have a friend selling some gear to fund the X-Pro2. He made me an unbelievable couldn't walk away from cash deal on his X-E2. I was thinking of a backup body for our big anniversary trip in May to Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro so the timing was perfect. I'm planning on taking the X-T1 as we'll...

The new Sony A6300 has an incredible 120 fps refresh rate! The EVF on the X-T1 is a non-issue and in many ways an advantage in my opinion. I really like the immediate feedback when adding or subtracting EV. Focus peaking, especially with manual or non-native lenses is very intuitive. Having a...

Nasim Mansurov just posted a pretty even handed article on PhotographyLife discussing advantages and disadvantages in the never ending DSLR versus mirrorless debate. As most here know, I have and use both DSLR and mirrorless and see firsthand some of the points made in the discussion. The most...

A few low light examples from last night using the XF 18-55mm/f2.8-4 and XF 23mm/f1.4. I was using Auto ISO and they vary between 400 up to 2000.

A few more captured at Valley of Fire State Park; non-HDR.

Three image bracket HDRs created using Aurora HDR. Captures at the Valley of Fire State Park outside Las Vegas, Nevada.

Visiting family near Las Vegas and we spent a wonderful day at Valley of Fire State Park. All of these images were taken by my bride using the Nikon 1 J5 and kit 10-30mm lens. Shot in RAW and post processing in Lightroom.
