The two kind of blurred images Do not get me wrong: there are great images that are blurred. Below, just two examples. One image out of focus on purpose, the other, a very nice motion blur effect quite well managed. Photo by Manh Nghiem on Unsplash Photo by Damon Lam on Unsplash Art has no limits. It is therefore wrong to…
I have been using Lightroom Classic (LrC) for a while and I am interested in the innovations and improvements enabled by the cloud architecture of Lightroom CC (LR CC) and by a new platform – the flaws and the technical debt of Lightroom Classic are too much (in)famous.Maybe it is just me, but I have been a little bit struggling to…
Why do we care? In theory, lenses send the focus distance information to the camera. It is recorded as an EXIF metadata in the file. Using it can have different advantages if you are interested in the distance at which the photo is supposed to be in focus. Short answer You need to try with you own gear, but it is…
What are we talking about? If you have tried to shoot a time lapse with a telephoto lens, you will certainly know that it can be quite challenging. The biggest challenges will be: Weather must be compatible,Be sure your sensor is perfectly clean,Manage the wind shakes on the tripod. Nothing original ? Wait, these topics are far from being trivial or…
Some years ago, in 2012, I have identified several kinds of cameras which were not existing, whilst there is certainly needs for them. I am not saying manufacturers should design and sell them, I have no idea whereas they can make money out of them, and I understand easily they prefer to focus on other topics more valuable to their business.…
Introduction It is so easy to use your images from your smartphone cameras. Many photographers can’t understand why they still need to use SD card, or connect the camera through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and download them to a hard drive, whether a PC or a Mac or another device, and finally has the files available in the cloud, hopefully. I have…
When you want to create a time lapse, wind can shake your camera on its tripod. For many time lapses, it won’t be a problem, either because there is no wind or because the wide-angle images are not going to suffer from any visible shake. However, if you shoot with non-wide angle and especially with telephoto lens, it will certainly be…

The software aims at streamlining the pre-process steps needed after a photo session. Indeed, over the last years, I have had the feelings I was wasting my time at culling images…
This is not the most glamorous title one can expect as image processing after a photo session is often a pain at its worst, a necessity at least. It is something photographers don’t like much to talk about. They prefer to discuss how to enhance their images. Fair enough. But execution is key, and it is not because it is boring…
I see several reasons to keep only the best images after each photo session and archive or delete all other shots. I mean, we should not keep more than probably 5% of the photos we are taking. And the ratio tends even to decrease the older the photo gets. Not so many photographers have the discipline to take all the time…
