I’ve been using BlackRapid camera straps for almost eight years now, so that will give you some idea of how much of a fan I am. After a brief foray into some upgraded neck straps when I first got back into photography, I decided to give shoulder straps a try. My go-to strap up until…

Scotland 2019 – Falls of Dochart
After our trip to Bracklinn Falls in the morning, we grabbed some lunch in Callendar and decided to head to Killin and the Falls of Dochart. The weather still wasn’t particularly great, occasional downpours made it difficult plan anything too far away from shelter. The grey skies did mean it was ideal for photographing water…

Scotland 2019 – Bracklinn Falls

Lightroom Mobile
In case you missed Adobe’s announcement last week, Lightroom has gone mobile. Or more specifically there is now a Lightroom app for the iPad. I’ve been waiting for this announcement for a while. I’ve used photosmith previously but I’ve found the sync process clunky at best, but up until now it’s been the best way…
