A while back I used to release a lot of presets. I realized those presets are scattered among the web, so I’m going to start to consolidate them here in the one place that’s mine (this website). One of the presets that was really popular was this Wedding...

Lightroom has a really cool filter to get some enhanced lighting on certain areas of your photos. By using the Radial filter, you can make it look like light is hitting parts of your photo and really draw attention to the areas you...

The Radial Filter in Lightroom has been one of the main adjustments I use on my landscape photography. From adding a vignette to showcase a part of the photo, to totally relighting a scene – the radial filter is always at the top of my list when I edit. In the...

Big news in the ON1 world, and really, photo-editing world as well. I’m so psyched to announce ON1 Photo Raw (click here to go to the ON1 site for more details) It’s the next generation of ON1 apps, and it all revolves around a lightning fast browser and...

I wanted to take a quick break from the normal blog posts to say thank you to a camera store that I’ve come to know over the last few years. This industry is big… but not too big that you can’t take a blog post to say thanks for some one who’s...

Well, I figured it was time for a follow up on the latest with my switch to Sony. Last December I wrote a post called “My First 60 Days with the Sony A7R ii”, and I thought it’d be cool to follow it up with my thoughts after 6 months. I wanted to see...

A few weeks ago, Google announced the Nik Collection of plug-ins—which Google has owned since buying Nik Software in 2012—was now free. This sent a few shock waves through the photo industry, and in the last few weeks, I’ve had a bunch people asking if we’d...

The other week I posted and asked for your help. It started with an email I received where the person basically said to stop telling them to shoot at sunrise or sunset. That anyone could make a good photo at those times of day. And that I should start showing them how...

Last month I got the chance to try out a new set of filters. Since I switched to the Sony mirrorless system last year, I hadn’t really updated my ND filter gear and polarizers. Until now, I basically just bought some step-down rings, and used my Lee system (and...

Normally this webcast on Wednesday would be only for ON1 Plus members, but I went to the big-wigs at ON1 and asked if we could make it free for everyone. So that’s just what we’re doing. This Wednesday at 12pm (Eastern Time), I’m doing a post-trip...

I’m writing to you guys as a last resort. I usually don’t solicit my blog for ideas on how to do my job, but I’m really kinda stumped on this one. The easy thing would be to say that I’m right, and point to hundreds (if not thousands) of...
I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results you’ve always wanted.
