Lightroom 10.0 – New Features Are Game-Changing

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 15, 2024
  • 8 comments
Lightroom has just released a nice update that brings in a few new features and performance improvements. Typically when Lightroom does their updates they are usually small little baby steps to a better product, which is great as it allows us to adjust and get used to the new features gradually, compared to if they were to overhaul everything completely in one go. But occasionally, Adobe will implement a small change that completely changes the way the software can be used, and sometimes it's game-changing.

Beach Volleyball – Nikon Z6, 85mm f1.8 S Samples

Last night the Volleyball bros were at it again. It's like 90 degrees out in the middle of October and the water is 72 degrees so it's been pretty amazing down at the beach. I went down with the fam and brought along my Z6 to shoot the kids and some of the guys playing.

Nikon Z 85mm f1.8 S Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 18, 2026
  • 20 comments
The Nikon Z 85mm f1.8 S is an extremely versatile lightweight, yet affordable 85mm f1.8 prime lens. This lens was designed for both photographers and videographers in mind with useful video features like silent focusing and no focus breathing but also a weather-sealed single barrel construction with all internal focusing elements and dual focus motors for improved close focusing capabilities.

Now that I'm not grinding down to the bone with work, I thought it would be cool to share some recent photos with a random blast of what's on my mind. I'll try to do this more often.
