I was given the opportunity to attend the HDR workshop instructed by Trey Ratcliff and Scott Bourne yesterday in Tampa, Florida. If you don’t recognize those names, you should. Trey Ratcliff is the man behind the most popular travel photography blog Stuck In Customs and is the author of the latest HDR photography book to [...]

One of the things that I have been wanting for a long while is to shoot with studio quality strobes outside of the studio while on location for a photo shoot. The only problem is that there is usually no power available where I am shooting or the power there isn’t good enough to trust [...]

This review has been a long time in the making and I am excited to finally getting it online. It hasn’t really been a secret that I’ve been testing some of FOBA’s newest tripod heads. This is especially true for those that have been on a photo walk with me or ran into me at [...]

I’ve always wanted to get some of my work printed on canvas to hang up around the house or in my office but I never really put a whole lot of effort into researching it and finding a good place to print it for me. Printing on canvas has been around for quite a [...]

Two months ago the internet exploded with blog posts and press releases announcing the latest software tool from GridIron Software. I am sure by now you’ve all heard of it… Flow. I had to see what all the hype was about so I jumped on the opportunity to review the software. I sat down to [...]

Just when you think you’ve pretty much figured out everything there is to something, someone comes along and proves just how wrong you are. That is the feeling I got after flipping through Matt Kloskowsi’s Layers: The Complete Guide To Photoshop’s Most Powerful Feature. I know, I know… this book has been out since Febuary [...]

Unified Color released version 2.12 of HDR PhotoStudio last week with a lot of improvements and additions. I’ve been putting it through its paces for a while now and really like what they have done with the application. In fact, a few of my bigger complaints from the very first review I wrote on the [...]

A few days ago I finally got my hands on a copy of Joe McNally’s latest book, The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light From Small Flashes. I started reading it late in the afternoon and didn’t put it down until late that night when I finished it. I tried to put it down so I [...]

A few weeks ago I finally became a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP). I decided to join for a multitude of reasons which I will not go into in much detail. But more importantly I want to give my opinion of my NAPP membership now that I have been a member [...]

After writing my review on Unified Color’s HDR PhotoStudio application, Igor (their CTO) contacted me with some information regarding the points that I made in the review. I found some of the information to be very interesting so I wanted to share it with all of you here.

One of the topics in photography that has gained a lot of attention over the last few years is high dynamic range (HDR) imagery. A new comer to the HDR software application realm is Unified Color.
