My New Pocket Camera – Sony RX100 IV
I’ve been on the lookout for a camera that would serve a specific purpose; I wanted something that would literally always be with me. Enter the Sony RX100 IV The camera was to serve two main purposes: #1 – I like to share my adventures on the blog, my social media accounts and on Shutter Muse, as well as creating plenty of behind-the-scenes type images for reviews and articles that I write. It needed to be good enough quality that I could publish large images from it and also connect to it via WiFi so that I can upload to …
New MindShift Gear First Light Packs! Exclusive First Look
Over on Shutter Muse, I’ve just published a super in-depth look at the brand new MindShift First Light backpack series. This is a new series of packs that’s designed specifically for outdoor/adventure/wildlife photographers, and they’re perfect for super telephoto lenses up to 600mm. The bags just launched yesterday, but I’ve been using them for some time so my MindShift First Light review is already posted!
Stay Out There With Adobe & The Creative Cloud
Today, I’m pleased to announce a new partnership with Adobe and their Creative Cloud Photography plan. I’ve been a subscriber to the Photography plan since its inception a few years ago, and as mobility has become increasingly important to my business, the Creative Cloud has been right there with me. The Photography Plan gives me access to Lightroom CC, Photoshop CC and Lightroom mobile, as well as added benefits in mobile apps such as Adobe Slate and Voice. As far as I’m concerned, the less time I can spend in my office, the better! Tools like Lightroom mobile, allow me …
Tamron 150-600mm Review Now Live on DPReview
I know a few folks have followed my progress with this lens via various forms of social media and my previous post of image samples. The full review has been completed and is now up on DPReview.com.
Checking Out The New Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM
The so-called “Nifty Fifty” has been around for 24 years, so it’s high time Canon came out with an upgrade! The new Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM will replace the f/1.8 II, and began shipping a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t sure if I was going to take a look at this lens, but I came across one in a nearby store so I thought, why not? I know a ton of people will be curious about it, and I’m always recommending the old version to beginners since it’s such a great way to learn about shooting with a shallow …

Tamron 150-600 Samples
I’ve been playing with the Tamron 150-600 f/5-6.3 for a while now and I’ve had it out with me on a couple of good wildlife trips alongside my Canon 200-400 f/4. It might seem like an odd pairing but I’ve been curious to see how the seemingly incredible value Tamron lens compares with the cream of the crop. There’s no doubt this Tamron lens is a bit of an anomaly, it’s incredibly sharp for such a ‘cheap’ lens. I use cheap in the relative sense, of course, because $1060 isn’t small change, but compared to the other options out there, …
Gear I Like: Senal Headphones
Sometimes I stumble across some gear that’s useful, and I want to share it with you guys. I’ve been using these Senal SMH-1000 headphones for my video and audio work for over a year now and they do a really great job at a good price point (under $100). I use them plugged into my Canon XA-20, or into my Sound Devices Mix Pre-D when I’m recording tutorial videos at my computer. They have a detachable cable which is great because if the cable or plugs ever fail, you don’t have to replace the entire set of headphones, just get …
