This week, one of the best 2016 Supermoon photos, although Malcolm Fackender did a pretty bang up job with his, too! Official White House photographer Pete Souza’s favourite photos of Obama, How the BBC shot the iguana chase scene, and the cheating wife caught by drone. Carl likes the look of the Nikon D5600. Adam […]

This week, Glynn’s got lots of tours in the planning, Adobe announcs GST to be added to Australian customers’ invoices as of December 1, 2016. I came across this guy trying to sell photo paper on Ebay… and failing. David Marland sent us down a rabbit hole of home made cameras. There was the pinhole […]

This week, the world said goodbye to Greta Friedman. You might not know her name, but it’s almost a certainty that you’ve seen her before! Last week, after the announcement of the winner of the Australian Photographer of the Year Award, Ken Duncan had a bit of a rant about what the Awards really do […]

This week, as my exploration into the world of Linux continues, I discovered an option in Lightroom which is turned OFF by default. But switching it on provides the ability to transfer my RAW files to Linux with metadata (keywords and all) in tact! Woohoo! This is done on a “per-catalogue” basis, so if you […]

In case you’ve been living under a rock, here’s a video of the new features, and here’s dpreview’s summary of the dynamic range capabilities of the new beast. This led to a discussion about gear lust, a topic thrust back […]

This week, Steve Peters once again steps in to keep Glynn’s chair warm. We’ve got a photographer who says we should “Stop selling prints“. A rumour on the Sony Alpha Rumours site suggests that Sony might be considering 16 bit uncompressed RAW somewhere down the line. David Marland pops in with a deceptive book review. […]

This week, Walt Kippenhuck, David Kirkpatrick and myself all weigh in on the RAW file conundrum, and I’m content with what I’ve learned.
