As digital technology evolves, the digital files from our cameras keep getting bigger and bigger. In addition, most pro photographers like to back up their RAW files alongside converted and retouched final shots. Whilst modern Apple Macs and PCs come with large amounts of internal storage, it’s a golden rule in the photography world to make sure that your work is ‘backed up’ to external storage. Computers are not infallible and there would be little more heart breaking than losing a lifetime’s work because it hadn’t been backed up! The world of photo storage is constantly changing as new and innovative products hit the market. So, whilst this article will be up to date at the time it’s published, things will undoubtedly move on! But, for the moment, here are…

The word “slide” carries some baggage with it, including a mix of positive and negative connotations. If someone slides, it’s often downhill or back into a bad habit. But then again, there are the positive kinds of slides: slide trombone and slide guitar, as well as the slides in water parks and playgrounds. But there’s one “slide” that’s unambiguously great: The Edelkrone SliderPLUS X. If you’re unfamiliar with it, the Edelkrone SliderPLUS X and Motion Kit are actually two separate products that work together. We’ll look at both here, but for the sake of simplicity, I’ll mostly refer to the two products as the “Slider” and the “Motion Kit.” The SliderPLUS X is a system of two parallel metal rails with a camera mounting bracket on top. It looks more…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Howdy! I’m Josh Cripps, head photo nerd here at Pro Photo Tips. I discovered nature photography in late 2006 and was instantly and irreversibly hooked.

Flying through the night, while the world beneath us is at sleep, is a pretty common thing as a long-haul pilot. Late evening departures lead to far distant destinations like Singapore, Hong Kong, Sao Paolo or Jo’burg. Depending on the direction of the flight the crew and the passengers either have a short night up ahead if flying eastbound or almost eternal darkness if headed westwards. The latter is the case for today’s flight across the Atlantic Ocean to South America. Our flight is packed and some 340 passengers are settling in for a long night flight. It’s my turn to be at the flight deck for the first part of the journey, as my other co-pilot gets the chance to rest in the crew bunk above the passenger cabin.…
