Try PowerPhotos. It will automatically find all your Aperture, iPhoto and Photos libraries and will allow you to remove duplicate images in a library, merge libraries, update libraries, whatever. P ...

He started making real money in the 1970s when he hired a business manager. I believe he donated $250k to MOMA to endow a curatorial chair in the late 1970s, so that's about $1 million today....

Part 3 is up. Looking at low light shots (not yet using Apple ProRAW). https://www.abiggercamera.com/2020/12/15/the-cross-in-the-middle-of-nowhere-iphone-11-pro-max-vs-the-12/ Hope you enjoy it.

I just sold my 10-24 but otherwise have all of those and all are excellent. But Fuji's zooms seem t have a reputation (less so as time goes on?) for quality control issues so check the one you get. ...

If you are curious what a Canon 5D (mk 2 and 3) can do check out my review of the book Zaido by Japanese photographer Yukari Chikura. https://www.abiggercamera.com/2020/12/10/book-review-rituals-in ...

Well, you couldn't be more wrong about all of that! :) I bought a *100-400* for landscape! Lenses may be commonly used for certain genres but that is no reason that those lenses are restricted to ...

That's because I don't shoot portraits. See www.darinboville.com. Sorry. :)

Updated my review series in response to Chris and Jordon's awarding the 50 f/1.0 "Worst Lens of the Year." Maybe they got a bad copy? Maybe they used Adobe software? I have no idea but my copy ...

Fun video (although I'm not that into the other Youtubers) but what's up with the Fuji 50 being the worst lens of the year? I just did a review on it and while it wasn't the sharpest lens ever made...

Second part of my iPhone 12 Max review is up: https://www.abiggercamera.com/2020/11/30/all-the-pretty-cameras-the-iphone-12-vs-the-iphone-11-in-the-mojave-desert/ In this installment, I take the ...

Very much so. I found that just by pressing slightly on one of the phones to change its angle ever-so-slightly would result in large differences in the visible flare. It was nearly impossible to ...

fyi, I just posted a first review of the new iPhone 12 Pro Max, comparing it to the older model. I plan on doing several additional comparisons of these two phones--after all, I suppose many ...

Might want to mention ventilation--all that smoke!

But I did appreciate the trash-bagged-out windows (my office is currently blacked out with Safeway paper bags) and I loved the stove.

And is...

I remember a news article a few years back where they reported on "UV Sunglasses" from various stores. Only like 5% had actual UV-blocking capabilities, FYI.

I just looked and I'm not seeing any video heads with an Arca-Swiss quick release clamp and with the clamp in the proper orientation for using a mirrorless camera. Do I really need to change ...

Whew. Just finished a blog post comparing the new 50 f/1.0 vs the 56. I shot images along the coast and then Halloween decorations at night. In some ways the lenses are very similar, then suddenly ...

You are carrying too much gear. Keep the lens shades on the lenses, take off the front caps and stow them while you shoot. You are carrying so much gear to avoid "miss possibilities," I bet, yet by ...

Congrats. Just a short time ago people were talking about the possibility of iPhone making "good enough" images. Now we are talking about whether we even need out DLSR gear.

Exactly, bokeh is a lot more complicated than is usually depicted. I made images at different distances, found scenes with amble light bulbs in the foreground and background, closer to the center, ...

You know, there has to be a business model that works here somewhere.
