I freely admit that I'm normally quite methodical and formulaic with my lighting setups. I like what I like, and tend to stick with what works. But using this light has been incredibly freeing and encouraged me to push well past my comfort zone.

The Mint Low Profile Switches on the Luma100 strike what I believe to be the perfect middle ground between Epomaker's Creamy Jade switches and their Sea Salt Silent V2 switches.

Those other flashes are certainly going to be more powerful, but the actual look of the image they produce is arguably inferior to the Vintage Z1 Pro.

It's a tall order to be sure. But with the release of the Epomaker RT100 Pro, I may have found the most elegant mechanical keyboard that I've had the pleasure of using to date.

The creative advantage of these mechanical constraints however, is that you're left with a shooting experience completely free from the distractions of technological paralysis.

This time however, my aim was to retain the full access to information and connectivity that smartphones are essential for, but without the addictive stimulation. The idea here is to keep all the utility that makes the iPhone amazing but keep yourself in the driver seat.

My version includes the Sea Salt Silent V2 Switches which I've become a huge fan of due to their muted nature. These particular switches exude a distinctly quiet typing experience while still retaining the gratifying physical responsiveness of what makes mechanical keyboards so lovely to use.

Shooting this Viltrox lens on the Fujifilm X100 bodies was nothing less than a pleasure, so much so I started looking up X100V prices on the couch earlier and wished I hadn’t. Nothing good comes cheap, you say. To which I reply, Wrong. Have you seen how much these Viltrox conversion lenses are?
For example, if I were to shoot a commercial job on film (as rare as that might be these days), I would choose T-Max 400 almost every time because it offers a distinctly cleaner aesthetic while still maintaining the highly sought after film look.
It's a compelling choice for the same reasons that people choose to read physical books, shoot film with a Leica rangefinder, or drive a manual transmission vehicle. It won't necessarily get you to your destination any faster, but the journey is so much more enjoyable.
"The best artists tend to be the ones with the most sensitive antennae to draw in the energy resonating at a particular moment. Many great artists first develop sensitive antennae not to create art but to protect themselves. They feel everything more deeply."
I'd long convinced myself that film presets just weren't comparable to real analog film and that there wasn't anymore innovation in this space, but Color Precision has proven me wrong on both fronts.
Checking in with these scores daily is a great habit, but where the data really becomes an asset is measuring the progress over time. Since I’ve started using the Ultrahuman Ring Air I’ve been able to see my habits change.
Amidst an increasingly bold lineup of noteworthy sneakers, the New Balance 9060 still manages to stand out for all the right reasons. It completely encompasses the hallmarks of what has made the company such a remarkable success in recent history.
And when you consider that the price of a genuine Speedmaster is simply unattainable for most, the Moonswatch 1965 presents a unique value proposition for those who want to enjoy classic Omega styling at an entry level price point.
You might be thinking, "well, how did they do it?" I would like to tell you that we were lucky and got into the market at the right time, but luck had nothing to do with it.
Those inconveniences are well worth the trade-off as its performance from a purely optical perspective is nothing short of outstanding. If you have the luxury to be able to take your time, using a slower methodical approach with a tripod, then this lens will consistently reward you for your efforts.
Even upon close inspection, the GenErase tool did an outstanding job of keeping the image looking clean and without any unwanted artifacts after the objects have been removed. Color me impressed.
This being by far the prettiest G-Shock I've laid my eyes on, I figured now is the time to add one to my ever-growing watch addiction, er...collection.
