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...

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...
