In an ideal world, we’d all be shooting countless photographs and selling JPGs, or prints as fast as we could make them. Like in Scott Kelby-land, they’d all be 5* images and aside from counting all the revenues, our only concern would likely be ensuring everything is backed-up to further protect our photographic assets. 5* […]

Last year, French citizens fought over discounted pots of Nutella. And my MacBook Pro screen started to lose its antireflection coating in patches. So I’m hoping for a cheaper Hasselblad X1D. Umair Haque explains. How to become super rich. It’s actually easy. Bill Gates became the world’s richest man not by inventing […]

An f0.65 lens. WTF? If you’re a regular DS reader, you’ll know we’ve discussed the new generation of über lenses exhaustively in recent times. The trend continues and I was hardly surprised to see a report in the photography media, suggesting that Nikon has calculated its new Z mirrorless camera body could […]

First world problems, right ? … My current workhorse laptop has been round the globe a few times, seen concrete floors close up too often and is in dire need of replacement. Having recently bought an amazing Dell XPS 13 which has a fabulous screen and a high power i7 CPU, but is too small […]
