I used a few of the latest AI editing options in Lightroom to edit a few pictures from past photo shoots, which at the time didn’t pass muster to make it onto my photo blog:

What Apple doesn’t want you to know about films shot with an iPhone.   Leave a comment

You’ve seen the ads: gorgeously filmed imagery that’s sharp, beautifully lit, and expertly composed. And somewhere along the way they proudly proclaim ‘Shot with iPhone.’

What they don’t show is that to get that type of shots, you need a whole lot more than just a phone, as this picture demonstrates.

So if you’re an aspiring photographer frustrated by the fact that your shots don’t quite turn out like those used in TV ads, don’t despair – in this case it really IS a matter of having better equipment.

Speedway, Indiana   Leave a comment

A quick business trip to Indiana allowed for lunch at Speedway, home of the Indy 500. Half a mile away from the glitzy track is a land that time forgot.

Yesterday Werner Braun became my 1,500th follower (thank you, Werner!), almost 5 years after starting this blog. How serendipitous, given that my late father, Werner Braum, was the first person to follow my blog (thank you, Dad!).
