    Hollywood Color Meets Still Photography: DaVinci Resolve 21 is Here
    Apr 14, 2026 Alberto Lima

    Gearing up for NAB 2026, Blackmagic Design has just pulled the curtain back on DaVinci Resolve 21, and it’s safe to say the line between “cinematographer” and “photographer” hasn’t just been blurred—it’s been professionally erased.

    Is the Fujifilm X-T30 III the Camera for You? That Depends

    The X-T30 III didn’t get a 40-megapixel sensor but did pick up a few tricks from the X-T5. But who is this camera for?

    Viltrox Wide and Telephoto Conversion Lenses Add Range to Your X100VI

    The Fujifilm X100VI is one of the more polarizing cameras available today. For some, the fixed-lens APS-C camera is the perfect, high-performance point-and-shoot. For others, the crop sensor and fixed lens are far too limiting – even with the ability to digitally crop in. I tend to be more in the latter camp, preferring to use one of FujiFilm’s interchangeable lens cameras to maximize functionality. Recently, I got the opportunity to try the X100VI again, this time with Viltrox’s Wide and Telephoto Conversion Lenses. Did it change my mind about the camera?

    Godox X3 Pro Offers Photographers Off-Camera Flash with Little Compromises
    Feb 3, 2026 Alberto Lima

    One of the most critical skills a photographer can learn is using both on-camera and off-camera flash. For many, on-camera flash is a straightforward affair – you buy a compatible flashgun, slap it on, and you learn how it works with your camera. Off-camera flash, by contrast, requires a bit more equipment and, by extension, more investment. That’s where the Godox X3 Pro flash trigger comes in: priced around $100 USD, it lets you pair various Godox flashguns and strobes with your camera system. But does it skimp on functionality?

    The New Godox AD100Pro II: Focus on Power and Portability
    Jan 23, 2026 Alberto Lima

    For photographers who split their time between a studio and the unpredictable world of on-location shooting, the “perfect” light is often a moving target. You need something powerful enough to shape your subject, but small enough that you don’t need a Sherpa to carry it. Godox originally answered this call with the AD100Pro, and now, they’ve refined that formula with the AD100Pro II.

    If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the middle of a sun-drenched field at high noon, trying to overpower the sun with a standard speedlight, you know the feeling of hitting a literal wall of light. In the professional world, “enough power” is rarely enough—we need reliability, precision, and the ability to freeze time.

    Black Friday Means Sales, Here are Five Impulse Buys I Don’t Regret
    Nov 27, 2025 Alberto Lima

    Here in the United States, the fourth week in November usually means two things: a large turkey dinner, and a lot of sales being advertised. Even on this website, you might have come across a sale round-up or two. While I can’t help you improve your Thanksgiving Day dinner, I can share some insights into a few impulse purchases I’ve made that I don’t regret.

    Nov 17, 2025 Alberto Lima

    On-camera flash in street photography is a polarizing tool—some see it as an aggressive intrusion, while others view it as a creative superpower. When used intentionally, this technique transcends simple illumination to create dramatic, stylized, and high-impact images that stand out from the scene. This guide focuses on getting started with on-camera flash and maximizing your keepers.
