It really is a difference — even day one casts a spell on you. Comparing it to my first day at NBÚ/NÚKIB (from an employee's perspective) is night and day. Everything was prepared for us, we got a huge amount of information and then we just...
Until now I'd been using boxed Lightroom 6 and Photoshop CS 13. Not that they didn't suit me — Lightroom in its last boxed version has a pretty wide range of features. However, when I needed to make minor adjustments, it wasn't exactly great. So I'd been eyeing an upg...
My kit (and standard) lens for the Df is the special edition 50mm Nikkor. I loved that focal length on DX. No other lens gave me such great shots. But on the Df the 50mm isn't quite as brilliant. To be more precise — the image quality is wo...

When departing for Menorca we were supposed to board an aircraft that had just arrived from Bulgaria. It landed on time, about 45–60 minutes before our scheduled departure. But during...
You love your job, you do it — hopefully — well. You find a kind of mission in it, as do most of your colleagues. You have a great team, you could almost call it a family. And yet you hand in your notice. Why?
After university I was lucky — I had choi...
I was asked to present a project at the Flowmon Friday conference. It didn't surprise me — Flowmon is a subcontractor so it makes sense they'd want to show off what solution had been built. I presented with a colleagu...
