Happy Halloween from Empty Bottle Evenings! I hope that you enjoy your day carving pumpkins, dressing as a slutty cat or a flesh-eating Ben Carson, and trying but failing to pass out free candy because parents today are sadly afraid that every neighbor is either a pedophile or a serial killer and won’t let…
I know most photographers don’t instinctively reach for something like an Android powered phone or tablet when they want to fine tune one of their photos shot in RAW format. I get it. But I have to say it is a pretty nice option to have if you only need to make minor adjustments on…
