December 2, 2021 Godox MF12 Macro Ring Light System Review

  Macro photographer is a blast.  It opens up a whole new world of details that the naked eye simply can’t see, and the resulting images are often ones that delight viewers.  But macro photography has a major challenge:  the laws of physics dictate that as you get into macro range your effective apertur [Read more...]

December 7, 2020 Godox AD 300 Pro Review

Godox has developed a strong following for their lighting products due to a winning combination of good engineering, reliable performance, and reasonable pricing.  They saw a gap between their “pocketable” Godox AD200 Pro Flash unit and the considerably larger AD400/600 units.  The solution is the AD300 Pro [Read more...]

November 27, 2019 Freewell Vari-ND Filters Gallery

I’ve just spend some time with an impressive set of Variable Neutral Density filters from Freewell.  This is the second time I’ve reviewed their products, and I’ve been pleasantly impressed both times by the innovation and quality of the products along with the reasonable pricing structure.  In this c [Read more...]

March 2, 2019 Rotolight AEOS Dual-Mode Light Image Gallery

I’ve spent time with a lot of different lights since becoming a reviewer.  They typically fall into one of two categories.  They are either A) portable flashes/strobes for photography or B) fixed or continuous lights for videography.  Some of the more recent continuous lights have had the option to be run of [Read more...]

September 23, 2018 Aurora Aperture PowerND Rear Filter Kit Review

Wide angle lenses and filters are a bit of a nightmare.  One of the main challenges many photographers have to consider is that using anything but the bare lens involves expense, bulk, and inconvenience.  Lenses with less focal lengths and smaller maximum apertures can often use typical screw-in filters, but at the cos [Read more...]

May 29, 2017 August EP750 Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones Review

  Putting on a good pair of headphones is a revelation for a music lover. The degree of sonic immersion possible allows music to come alive in a way like nothing short of a very high end audiophile system. The EP750 are the third set of headphones that I’ve reviewed from the audio company August, […] [Read more...]
