Tiffen Glimmerglass Filter Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • August 28, 2024
  • 8 comments
The Glimmer Glass is one of the many types of diffusion filters made by Tiffen that produces one of many different types of Diffusion effects. While they all diffuse light, they are not all the same and do it in their own way and the use-case will vary pretty significantly. See how the Tiffen Glimmer Glass filter is different from the rest.

Fujifilm X100V Review | A Massive Evolution

  • Alik Griffin
  • January 14, 2026
  • 46 comments
The Fujifilm X100V is the latest of the X100 series and we've seen some big changes and modifications to the overall package. An upgraded lens, new sensor, a new button layout, a totally new look, and upgraded software tools, which all together really help this camera stand apart from the previous models. This is by far the most unique update to date, but is it worth it?

Sony A6400 Review – One Of My Favorite APS-C Cameras

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 5, 2026
  • 10 comments
The Sony A6400 is a small lightweight APS-C camera designed for photographers and videographers looking to maximize versatility and image quality without compromising performance. Built like a tank, the A6400 is one of the best autofocusing cameras out there with some overall really nice specs. 11fps of continuous RAW shooting, 4k 100mbps video and a Tilting screen for selfies or vlogging. Because Sony omitted IBIS from the A6400, the camera ends up being lighter compared to the A6500 while having a battery that lasts about a full day.

Panasonic LX100 II Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 14, 2024
  • 16 comments
The Panasonic LX100 II is a pocketable compact 17 megapixel micro four thirds camera with a 24-75mm f1.7 to f2.8 variable zoom lens. It shoots 4k video at 100Mbps and features a toggle aspect ratio switch to change the area used on the sensor.  The LX100 II sensor is a 21 megapixel micro four thirds sensor, but the camera only utilizes a maximum crop of 17 megapixels at any time to allow for different aspect ratios for different situations.

Aurora HDR 2019 Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 18, 2024
  • 6 comments
When I first started using Aurora back in 2017 it really felt like the beginning of something awesome. Like the baby alien that just burst out of Kanes chest in the first Alien movie, it took off running doing all these mysterious things behind the scenes. The little creature continued to grow while occasionally popping out for an update here and there. It was exciting and still powerful, but we only got to see hints of what this beast would become. Finally, with the launch of Aurora HDR 2019, it's true form has been revealed as the perfect landscape devouring monster.

Fujifilm X-T3 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • January 18, 2025
  • 6 comments
For the last few years, APS-C digital photography has been battling the war of relevancy, trying to find its place in photography among enthusiast and professionals. Some people love APS-C, for others, it's just not good enough. In this Fujifilm X-T3 review, I'll be going over a few things you don't see most people or reviews talking about. I won't dive to deep into the nitty-gritty of the specs, rather we'll take an in depth look at what X-T3 is really all about; the user interface, how you can customize camera output and the experience of using it, with some beautiful specs sprinkled on top of course.

Fujifilm 14mm f2.8 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 11, 2025
  • 4 comments
The Fujinon 14mm f2.8 is one of Fujifilms oldest (of the modern) lenses, it's slow and noisy with a stepping motor focus system, but optics are everything and this 14mm captures some incredible images for both landscape photographers or those just looking to have a little fun with an ultra-wide.

GoPro Hero6 vs Hero5 | A Huge Improvement!

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 31, 2018
  • No comments
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.
