There are articles about using WooCommerche shortcodes, but very few help with adding custom shortcodes to WooCommerce products. Specifically, to the product's short description. So, of course, I had to create a solution myself. If you're lucky, my first solution will already help you achieve that. But, if you, like me, use a custom theme that modified the default WooCommerce structure… Well, you're in for a ride. It wouldn't be the first...

I had the opportunity to use the new Fujifilm XF 8mm F/3.5 the day it was announced—almost out of the blue. I asked one of my contacts at Fujifilm if they had the 8-16mm lens at hand because I needed an ultra-wide angle lens to photograph an apartment for Airbnb. The spaces were a bit restrictive, so I wanted the widest non-fisheye lens in the Fujifilm range. Luckily, a magazine reviewer had...

A few weeks ago, Ulanzi sent me their new X-Aircross F38 travel tripod for video creators to review. When I created my channel, my goal was not to do gear reviews. But these seem to have become popular and get good engagement, so I have made a few of them. They are all available here on the blog as well, and companies have noticed. As per my other reviews (mostly lenses and...

Luminar Neo is 1 year old today!

To celebrate this first anniversary, there is now a fantastic deal on Luminar Neo subscriptions. You can get a whole free year of subscription! You definitely don't want to miss it, but more on that in the...

I have always been a massive fan of the Samyang 12mm F2 lens for the Fujifilm X Series. In fact, it was actually the very first lens I purchased for my old X-T1, aside from the kit lens!It is my primary go-to lens for Astrophotography, and I use it a lot for Architecture and Landscape. It was also the main lens I used in my Fog cinematic vlog. This lens was always...

TopazLabs just released Photo AI, which promises to enhance and restore your images with the click of a button. Or even before you click anything! Like Magic. I tested the software for a few weeks while in beta, and now it is finally available to everyone.And I must say I am impressed with the results! Yeah, you don't have to watch the video to know what I think about this: it works,...

I've been waiting for this new Fujifilm XF 150-600 R LM OIS WR F5.6-8 since the first rumours appeared on the web many years ago… And it's finally here! Fujifilm has been kind enough to let me test this lens for a week so that I could take one of my famous moon shots. This content is not sponsored; it just so happens that Fujifilm and I have a great relationship… I...

Remember my Starry Nights short film? No? Well, it's here to watch if you missed it: https://youtu.be/-1xWKCKgwG4 I mention it because I made that short film using the Hoya Sparkle filters, both 4x and 6x variants. These creative filters from Hoya make for very interesting results. But more importantly, they provide consistency and reliability to every image where you want to add a starburst effect (and maybe some soft diffusion). Something that...

We have been waiting a long time for this: Capture One for iPad is finally a reality! It has been made available for public testing to a limited amount of registered Capture One users, including myself. And, of course, I put this to the test straight away and recorded my experience in a YouTube video… The Video So here is my hands-on first impression of the new Capture One for iPad! I...

Welcome to another lens review, this time for the Fujifilm XF 33mm F/1.4 R LM WR. And I'm going to tell you what I think straight away: this lens is marvellous! Probably one of the best lenses Fujifilm has ever released. The video I just published is mostly my professional opinion, more than a full review. But I know for sure you'll find good info there. As I said, the Fujifilm XF...

Now that we've been through the first impressions, it's time for a proper Fujifilm GFX 50S II hands-on review. I just started to edit and put together all the GFX 50S II content I created. And it becomes obvious to me that this will become a series because there is a lot of content! So, episode 1 was the first impressions video. Episode 2 is this Fujifilm GFX 50S II hands-on review....

The Fujifilm X Summit Prime 2021 just ended, and among the news we now have a new GFX camera: the GFX 50S Mark II. Fujifilm approached me a few months ago to ask if I wanted to test the new camera while still in development. And of course I said yes. I could not tell anything to anyone or publish any content until today's event, but now it's the time! The Fujifilm...
