Pre-Order AirMagic

Skylum is accepting orders for AirMagic now

AirMagic is using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to evaluate each of your drone images applying modifications such as color reveal, haze removal, sky enhancement, and other finely tuned adjustments to give you the best look.

It does use an interface similar to Photolemur, but this is NOT Photolemur renamed, but an entirely new application that has been designed specifically for your drone. It will recognize what type of drone you have and apply the AI adjustments that are best for a photo from that drone.

AirMagic detects the type of drone used and then analyses the image based upon the type of drone for lens and color profile for that drone.

You get AirMagic for $39 that includes a license for either Mac and Windows and can be activated on 2 devices.

Pre-Order AirMagic

Don’t forget to use the Coupon Code MARKDODD to save $10 on this order

AirMagic will be released on March 21st.

Thinking of My First Home

On By Mark DoddIn Cathedral Cove, Coromandel, Fall, General Blog PostLeave a comment

Recent passing of an Aunt

With the recent passing of an Aunt that was the last of my fathers immediate family, I been thinking a lot of New Zealand, my first home. Even though I left New Zealand as a young child, I still consider it home and still have many family members there. I do occasionally get to go back and visit but not as often as I like.

For the photographers out there and anyone who likes outdoors, New Zealand is a beautiful county and I think is one of the places where you can experience every kind of environment from the Snowy Alps in the south to Desserts in the central highlands, and of course everything in between like the tropics or at least subtropics.

The photo below is one of those places that I just had to visit my last time back home.

Cathedral Cove

Cathedral Cove on the Northeast side of the Coromandel Peninsula of the North Island. There is a little hiking involved to get down to this beach and some area’s are very steep, but the track was well maintained when we were there.

Today, On1 annouces pre-ordering of the next major version On1 Photo Raw 2019

This is a version I have been waiting for. I like many other photographers I know have still been using Lightroom for one thing, and that is its catalog. With this release, we finally have a great alternative to move to.

Not only does it now feature a full-featured catalog system, but it is also even a better photo editor that just Lightroom by itself.

A list of the features in this release

  • A newly designed interface to make using On1 Photo even easier to use with a fresh new look and of course, the Catalog.
  • Master Keyword list  – New Feature
  • Focus Stacking – New Feature
  • Layered HDR Workflow  – New Feature
  • Auto-Align Layers  – New Feature (and something I’ve been waiting for)
  • Lightroom Photo settings migration. New AI-powered algorithms will give the ability to transfer Lightroom-edited photos  – New Feature
  • AI Masking Tool   – New Feature that will be released in December
  • Portrait Tools  – New Feature
  • Text Tool  – New Feature
  • Filter options in Effects  – New Feature
  • and many more features already in On1 Photo 2018.

Nikon has just announced the release of their first Mirrorless Camera

 

Nikon announced two new mirrorless cameras early this morning EDT.

The Nikon Z6, a 24.5mp FX sensor and the Nikon Z7, a 45.7mp FX sensor.

They are both full frame sensors and it has been announced that you can use your existing F mount lenses with an adapter. So for you existing full frame sensor Nikon users you don’t have to get the newer lenses to use these cameras

 

The new lens mount is the Z-Mount and they have a new set of Z-Mount Lenses to go along with the new cameras. But again, you can still use your F mount full Frame lenses using the Nikon FTZ Adapter.

The 3 Z-Mount lenses they are releasing now are

  • 24-70mm F/4 S
  • 35mm F/1.8 S – Prime Lens
  • 50mm F/1.8 S – Prime Lens

58mm f/0.95 S NOCT is still in development and will be released later

These are all part of the new NiKKOR S series lenses.

The Z-Mount has a larger ring opening that lets more light to hit the sensor and can provide a sharper image to the sensor. It also has more connectors to transfer information to and from the lens at a faster rate than existing lenses. It is a size of a 55mm inner mount diameter and a 16mm flange focal distance.

There is an optional Battery Pack to increase your shooting time.

There list prices are

Nikon Z6 Body for $270,000 yen including tax or around $2400 USD

Nikon Z7 Body for $440,000 yen including tax or around $3900 USD

Release dates

for camera bodies in late September, Lenses to be released later. Most in October.

Peak Design Travel Line

PeakDesign announces a new product line, The Travel Line

On By Mark DoddIn General Blog PostLeave a comment

Today Peak Design releases their Travel Line of products via Kickstarter.

 

I’m a customer and big believer in the design and quality of the Peak Design Products. I own two bags, the backpack and the everyday sling bag, along with several camera straps. They have been great products.

 

If you have ever considered getting their products, getting them during a Kickstarter is the least expensive way to get the new products. Granted you may have to wait for a little to get them, but it will be well worth the wait.

 

So what is in this new Peak Design Travel Line.

 

Check out the Peak Design Travel Line Kickstarter today

 

It won’t take long for each level to sell out, so check it out as soon as you can.
