How I Add a Signature Watermark to My Photos for Online Sharing

June 9, 2019November 28, 2017 by Dan Carr

Earlier this year I came across a company called Photologo, who make hand-drawn logos for photographers. I thought they looked great as a signature watermark on photos, so I ordered one to check them out. To be honest, for the sub-$40 price-point my expectations were a little low because I’ve paid graphic designers many times more than this in the past. I was pleasantly surprised then when I got something awesome! In fact I got three awesome things. The first was a great logo, the second was a great customer experience from genuinely helpful staff, and the third was a …

I’m not posting all the Black Friday deals that I’ve been sent, because frankly some of them aren’t that great. Every company thinks they have to do something, and some of the deals are minimal.

However… for you guys, my readers and followers, they wanted to give me the chance to give you 35% off! Just use the coupon code Dan35 at the checkout. A …

Gear Check: Nitecore D4 Battery Charger

September 12, 2023November 5, 2017 by Dan Carr

Recently I was looking for a new battery charger that would handle all of the different types of rechargeable batteries I have, not including camera ones. I needed something that would handle my Ni-MH AA and AAA Eneloop batteries that I use in things like flashes and remote triggers, and also my Li-ion 18650 batteries that power my flashlights for light painting. As well as this versatility, I also wanted to be able to easily power the charger from a 12v outlet in my car or when plugged into the Goal Zero Yeti 1400 Lithium power station in my photography

Installing a Goal Zero Boulder Solar Panel on My Trailer Roof

September 12, 2023November 5, 2017 by Dan Carr

This post was made possible by my friends at B&H Photo, where you can buy the Boulder 100 solar panel that I installed on my Taxa TigerMoth photography adventure trailer. Of course this content is also relevant to any other van or trailer you might be considering for your own adventure vehicle! If you’ve been following the posts in the Overland section of my blog in recent months, you’ll have first seen me writing about how to connect a Goal Zero solar panel to a Zamp solar connection. This was my initial setup when I got this trailer, and it

In fact, even an senior Apple tech support engineer couldn’t wrap his head around it after an hour of trying things. In the end, the solution turned out to be pretty simple. THIS WORKS! Just read the stacks of comments below the post! The Cause Whilst Time Machine will automatically prune old backups to keep the total backup size within the limit of the drive you’re using,

Let’s Talk About Luminar 2018… Because Its AWESOME!

November 2, 2017November 2, 2017 by Dan Carr

Regular blog readers might remember me talking about Macphun’s excellent Aurora HDR and Luminar software over the past year or so, and I’ll tell you right now that you’re going to be hearing a lot more about Luminar from this point onwards. Luminar 2018 will be launched on November 16th (pre-order), but I’ve had a copy for a few weeks now and it has me very excited. To start with, PC users can rejoice because Luminar 2018 will be available on both the Mac and the PC, and with it Macphun will be changing their name to Skylum Software –
