Long exposure at Sakurai Futamigaura. Not very often are there waves here, but when there are it becomes a popular surf spot. The waves also help create some mood around the rocks, something that's always missing when I come here. 494 23

A pair of fireflies spiral in a final dance. These beetles only live about a week or two in this stage of life before laying their eggs and dying. Then the cycle repeats, Egg, Larva, Pupa (cacoon), Adult. Some firefly eggs are bioluminescent, and some species have a two year long cycle. 180 4
The tide slowly rises at the Floating Torii Gate of Ouo Shrine. This is an awesome little spot in Saga Japan and fairly unknown. By fairly unknown I mean there was maybe 4 other photographers there, rather than the usual 300 like at some of the other Japan hot spots. 486 16

The Truth About Nikon and Canon’s 17% Sales Drop

Canon and Nikon sales have dropped about 17% year-over-year.

A lot of journalist ( dirty dirty smear merchants ) have been cherry picking statistics to push the doom and gloom narrative to make these camera companies look like they are in trouble, with the usual intent to make Sony look like it’s the new market leader and to make Canon and Nikon look like they are run by a bunch of idiots.

It’s a fun narrative to push and people lap it up. 

In this article, I want to try to shed some light on what is actually happening, what Canon and Nikon are doing and what we will expect to see moving forward.

Strange Pixels In The Fujifilm X-T3 EVF and LCD

I reported in my Fuji X-T3 review strange pixels appearing in the LCD and EVF. Now with some comments I’m seeing other people are having the same issue.

You won’t see this issue if you’re just casually shooting with autofocus lenses and you won’t see it and indoor lighting conditions or in low light.

To simulate this issue, you will have to be looking at the 100% cropped in view of the LCD or EVF and you need to point the camera into bright light, or if there is very bright colors like a blue sky. Blue skies are actually the best way to see these strange pixels in the Fujifilm X-T3.

Fujifilm X-T3 Announced | Great Price and Specs!

The moment has arrived. The Fujifilm X-T3 is officially announced!

I want to say this is Fujifilm’s flagship camera but it’s actually not. This is their photography centric camera with incredible video specs, shooting 4k video at 60fps with 10-bit 4:2:0 internal recording and 4:2:2 external recording with a 400Mbps codec. That pretty much just killed GH5s and marks X-T3 as the best mirrorless hybrid camera for video.

AuroraHDR 2018 Update | It’s All About Performance

If you haven’t yet heard, the mid year update to AuroraHDR just dropped. Version 1.2.0. What’s it about? Two things really, performance and performance.

If you have no idea what AuroraHDR is, I’ve tossed in a few sample photos I took last night from my bike ride around town. I shot these with the Fujifilm X-T2, Fujinon 14mm and 7Artisans 35mm f1.2. Processed with AuroraHDR + Luminar + Lightroom. This will give you a general idea of some of the looks you can achieve using this combination of software.

GoPro Hero6 vs Hero5 | A Huge Improvement!

When comparing the GoPro Hero5 to the Hero6, on the outside it doesn’t look like much has changed. Even looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem like there are any huge updates after this one year cycle. Higher frame rate and video stability at 4k are not that big of a deal to a lot of people, especially if you already have a Karma Grip.

However, when you get both cameras and put them side-by-side, you’ll immediately notice huge improvements with the Hero6! Huge! I’ll list just a few.
