Capture One 12 vers Lightroom 6 & Classic

Capture One 12 vers. Lightroom 6 & Classic: The big non-destructive RAW editor competition: Capture One 12 vers LR Classic. The debate is hot and ongoing – especially since Adobe went subscription only with LR. Being a LR guy I tested Capure One now for a while and found it to be much faster (than LR) and much better...

Multi Copter Photography and Photogrammetry

Multicopter Photography and Photogrammetry Late this year I bought a Phantom 3A (Advanced). The prices went down and these platforms are so affordable now that it makes sense to test it out. The main applications for my work are multifolded: Special shootings for paying clients, regatta event shots from above, very early morning misty landscape stills and large scale or...

Nikon AFS 400mm f2.8G VR Testing

Update: some nice bokeh shots with this lens (had half an hour yesterday with wonderful sun light to do some tests – its easy to send every for/background into a creamy bokeh fog with a 400mm f2.8 system.

Changing Perspective

AquaTech Elite Gehäuse eingetrudelt. Nach 4 Wochen Wartezeit ists jetzt doch mal geliefert worden, aber das Teil wird wohl in Batches produziert und da sind solche Lieferzeiten wohl normal. Mit dem AquaTech Elite Gehäuse kam auch ein Setup mit Plexiglas Dome, um das 14-24 Nikkor einzusetzen. Erstmal hab ich nur das 10.5 mm getestet und soweit bin ich total happy....

The Nikkor AFS 24-70 mm f2.8G – fast all-rounder

Standard zoom range at its best … – best bokeh: the Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8G . The Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f2.8G ED . The 24-70 wasnt on my priority purchase list for quite some time. Its focal range was just not too important for my type of regular shootings. But since I started doing circus and artistic performance events and also...

The Sharpness & Darkness Queen – the Nikkor AFS 14-24 mm f2.8G

Nikon AFS 14-24 mm f2.8G: This lens is the end of the (endless) search for the perfect wide angle lens. Its as simple as that. Get this one and stop (and forget) all the testing : ). Since photography went digital a sharp wide angle has been like the mythical unicorn – it just wasnt there anywhere. The 14-24 is the...
