In the below video I share my thoughts on capturing weddings with the Fuji GFX 100s + 80mm GFX lens. so far I've captured Kent weddings with the Fuji at Bradbourne House, Oakwood House, The Secret Garden and Rowhill Grange. Although I supply most of my wedding photographer in 4k or close to, the GFX100s has an unedited resolution of 11648x8736 pixels. You can quite often crop 2 shots out of 1 image. The detail is just superb. You can see my full thoughts and image samples he

I’ve been hired for a lot of weddings this year at Oakwood House, some micro-weddings and some that were followed by a separate venue for the wedding breakfast with a large number of guests. It’s been a real mix—quiet, emotional ceremonies with just a handful of loved ones, as well as full-scale celebrations where Oakwood House served as the backdrop before everyone moved on for an evening of food, music, and dancing. I’ve shot in the Garden Room, The Study and the Kentish Su

If you've recently switched to Affinity Studio from Adobe Photoshop and require a reliable generative AI, then you may be disappointed in the current implementation by Canva. Whilst I have no doubts that it will improve, from my own personal testing, it is not ready yet. Well, at least on the generative fill side, the AI masking works well.

Since my previous post there have been some great developments when it comes to getting Affinity studio running on Linux. It works cross distro, whether it's Arch, Fedora or Debian based. In the below video I talk you through the process, with the one line terminal command to launch the app, auto install the necessary dependencies, auto download and install the actuall app and a quick preview of it working. It also runs with Open CL support. This method launches within a hi

I’ve recently become interested in supporting Linux for creatives, so I’ve been exploring Linux-friendly photo editing software that could serve as an alternative to Adobe Lightroom for RAW photography editing. In this video, I take a closer look at RapidRaw, a new open-source photo editor developed by a young Swedish developer that’s currently in active development. RapidRaw is built on modern, cross-platform technologies and focuses on speed, efficiency, and non-destructive

I've been a casual observor of Linux for quite a few years but it's problem for me has always been that it doesn't have any pro level publishing and photography software. Well there is some good software in Inkscape, Gimp or Darktable but they always seem to have an important feature missing or a clunky workflow. With that in mind, great strides have been taken the last few years by devs out there to get the Affinity suite working on Linux using a Windows compatibility layer.

Although there is no official release of the astrophotography stacking software Sequator for Mac, it is very easy to install the Windows version on to the Mac platform using a very light emulator called Whisky.
