June 21, 2011. “You want to shoot Prince’s European Tour? Need to know ASAP.” January 28, 1985. I had snuck my 12″ Sampro B/W television that my grandparents had given me into my room because I knew Prince was going to perform, and I figured it was going to happen way past my bedtime. Prince […]
Sick of Camera RAW and Lightroom? Want a brand-spanking-new RAW photo processor and non-destructive editor to work in that isn’t made by Adobe? Your wish is ON1’s command. It’s a sad fact for us Mac-lovers, but dollar for dollar, an Apple computer can’t keep up with a custom-built PC. And if you have any doubts […]
Most drone cameras are all about giving you crazy aerial perspectives or carrying heavy and expensive camera gimbals, but the Hover Camera is not that kind of drone.
