Is there a decent lightweight pic viewer for Mac? Preferably open source. I have quite a lot of photos, and using finder/preview to show people my images is pretty clunky, and using darktable isn’t really ideal either. I’m just after something that allows for a quick and simple skimming through folders, and a nice clean...

As winter continues, I think more and more about how nice it was to sit outside, drink coffee, and take pictures of birds that came by....

As a former Aperture fan, who switched to Adobe Lightroom when Apple abandoned Aperture, I was curious to try out Photomator....

I thought I’d use some of the tips from an article I posted earlier in the sub, and used a smaller aperture to bring out the star-rays. That worked pretty well. This was shot with a 15-35mm lens, widest angle, and f/22, the smallest aperture available. It did come out darker, so I had to bring up the shadows in Lightroom. Not...

I was traveling (for our 30th anniversary) on the East Coast recently, and realized I had the opportunity to take sunrise photos from the ocean, which I could never do at home, in California....

Good news for your Sony shooters - the A9 specs have been announced, and they’re impressive. The only disappointment might be the 24.6 megapixel display. No actual photos available for analysis, yet, either. But, check out the article for the full spec sheet. It’s pretty impressive, albeit at $6,000 for the body, it better...

I posted about two other lenses, the RF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM, the RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM, and the last is the RF-24-105mm F2.9L IS USM Z....

For you wildlife photographers, there’s a new, more affordable (that’s relative, of course) non-L lens coming for the RF mount bodies. Not really my thing, but we’ll see once it’s fully out and in distribution. It’s supposed to run around $2,000 usd.

Looking for an RF ultra-wide lens? Canon announces a new RF mount 10-20mm F/4 L lens.

It's harder than it looks to see the whole of Sky Rock. It's on a relatively flat rock, facing up toward the sky (hence the name), rather than on a vertical wall, as most petroglyphs are, so it's impossible to see from below. It's also large, easily over 20 x 20 feet. It's carved on a very large rock, which is perched against...

I didn't even notice this li'l guy until I had walked past it, and heard it rattle at me. It's getting late in the season to see them much, since it's getting pretty chilly overnight. Soon they'll all be hibernating, anyway. I'm just glad I didn't really disturb it too much. They do keep the rodents down…

A really good article on how to amp up your lighting game…

The basic element of any good photograph is composition. What guides YOUR composition decisions? Let us know what you think…

I’m not a Nikon shooter, but if you like the retro look and feel in a mirrorless Nikon body, this might be for you…

Some good tips on buying gear used. It’s always nice to save some money, when modern camera gear can be really expensive…

I want to stress that I am NOT a professional photographer. It’s just a hobby for me, which I’ve enjoyed for decades. I did once sell a photo I took of the Fall colors on Sonora Pass (Sierra Nevada mountains of California), which was used as a book cover in the UK for some Apple MacOS book, and I was paid 50.00 £. That was...

We all know this is true - if you have a DSLR or mirrorless (or even a point-and-shoot) that you know takes better photos than your phone, but rarely take photos with it, then you can use some of these tips to make it easier....

I’ve been a moderator over at that other place for several years, so I know that the best discussion forums/communities happen when topics are carefully curated, and civility is practiced and encouraged....

Do you shoot Canon glass? Looks like Canon Rumors is predicting that an current RF lens is targeted for an upgrade soon. Which would it be?...

So, I’ve owned a LOT of camera bags over the years. Lowepro, Tenba, Peak Designs, Canon, and many more brands I can’t recall....

I took my son and his girlfriend backpacking up to Parker Lake, in the June Lake Loop. This is in Mono County, CA. It was her first backpacking trip, and I wanted to make it an easy one, so as not to discourage her from ever backpacking again. Anywhere, here are some photos:...

Can anyone else upload photos anymore? I haven’t been able to do so in days. Is it an error with imagemagick? I keep getting some error that flashes briefly about exceeding maximum dimensions, but I used to upload just fine. Weird. Just asking, since I can’t seem to post photos at all anwhere on discuss.online. I can try on...
