By Matt Suess | May 24, 2019

I have always loved black and white photography. In fact I was processing and printing my own b&w photos way back when I was 12 years old! But I can not recall right now when – or if – I ever created any serious black and white flower photographs before. So here’s a start, with […]

Bison and Spring Snowfall in Gallatin Gateway, Montana

By Matt Suess | April 30, 2019

I love watching bison forage for food when the ground is covered with snow. They use their head as a shovel to push the snow away to get to the grass below. This was photographed yesterday during a late April snowfall here in Montana. It was photographed with the Olympus OM-D E-M1X camera and M.Zuiko 300mm f4 IS […]

By Matt Suess | April 15, 2019

As I continue evaluating the Olympus OM-D E-M1X Micro Four Thirds Camera that Olympus has loaned me for 2 months free of charge (and with no obligation at all to write these reviews) one aspect I will be studying is how usable high ISO images are with this camera.

Starting with No Image Library in Luminar 3

By Matt Suess | December 19, 2018

In my Learn Skylum’s Luminar & Aurora HDR Facebook group, I have noticed some people wanting to kind of hit the reset button on Luminar 3. Maybe they added too many photos at once in Luminar and it is not running great. Or maybe they don’t want to even have Luminar 3 index their photos but […]
