Introduction In the part 1, I have introduced the purpose of the tests I am doing. In this 1st part, I have genuinely compared the Samsung S20 Fan Edition FG (“S20 FE” in this post) with an APS-C camera (Nikon Z50) and an old but respected full frame Nikon D750. The point of these tests is to evaluate how far I…

What this post is about I am an enthusiast photographer, which means I am not a Pro but I am fine to carry a few kg of gear just for the pleasure to take photos. And I am OK to spend hours just to try to make one good photo.I have been looking for several years for a smartphone able to…
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 ?

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.
