2017 WORKSHOPS

I’d light to highlight a few workshops that could be interesting for you. And just to be clear: I’m not affiliated with any of these workshops. If you join them or not, I won’t make a penny out of it. However, from my own experience, I can tell you that workshops can help way more to improve your photography than purchasing new gear.

Streets of Vancouver Photography Workshop

Simplicity In Seeing Online Training & Inspiration

It’s a few years now, that I follow Olaf’s work with admiration. Definitely a talented X-shooters. And I’m happy to see he is now willing to share his talent not only through his images, but also to share his knowledge and experience with workshops and online trainings

  1. The Streets of Vancouver Photography Workshop, his first photography workshop ever (3 days in July). For more details, please check out his website here.
  2. Olaf also launched his educational and mentoring platform, Simplicity-In-Seeing. The platform was created to go beyond what is currently available in photography education. His focus is on the craft of seeing, on all the elements that help photographers to develop, maintain and challenge their seeing. Check out his website here.

“RAW Power” App Brings Aperture Style Interface & Functions to Mac Photos… for just $10 (Limited Time Offer)

Share

A fellow FR-reader just dropped me a link to a RAW converter software that might be interesting for some fellow X-shooters out there. It’s called RAW Power.

RAW Power is a Photos extension plug-in (but can be used also as standalone app), that gives you complete access to the macOS RAW engine in an intuitive interface that will feel very familiar to Aperture users largely because of who wrote it, Nik Bhatt, who was the man behind Apples Aperture. Nik Bhatt has left Apple and today creates Apps such as RAW Power.

RAW Power uses the same technology that sits underneath Photos, but this plug-in gives you access to all the controls to devolop the RAW images. You can make fixes and improvements that are simply impossible to make in Photos. It also has some features that were not present even in Aperture.

You can now grab RAW Power for $10 bucks (limited time offer), and use it as standalone App or embedd it into Apples Photos Application.

UPDATE: As Ben noted in the comments:

Uses Apple’s macOS built-in RAW support… so it doesn’t work with compressed RAF

I’ll share 2 videos below, the first one is a short introduction to RAW Power, and the second one is a video 34 minutes chat at TWiP with Nik Bhatt.

Which APS-C Lenses Should Fujifilm Develop Next? :: Your Suggestions to Fujifilm Here!

Share

Ok… it’s time to collect some fresh ideas for the Fujifilm Management responsible for the X-series.

So let’s sit down together and invest a bit of our time to make some suggestions to Fujifilm. I’m sure they will read them, and also the poll I’ll make later on out of your suggstions will be for sure something Fujifilm will look at.

Of course, keep your suggestions realistic (so no XF 8-300mmF2 pancake lens) and try to make 1 or 2 suggestions, not more. Share only your absolute priorities.
