Like A Frame Version 6.0 will be available in German as soon as soon as Apple allows developers to submit updates for the upcoming iOS 26 update. It will also make use of iOS 26 Liquid Glass effects throughout the app’s user interface to align it with the updated styles of iOS and iPadOS 26.
Read MoreUpdated in 2025 for Nik Silver Efex Pro 8. This is the best simulation of Kodak TRI-X 400 black and white film I've made so far. You can try it as well. You'll need Photoshop and DXO Silver Efex Pro from the Nik Collection, but it works best with Lightroom and VSCO Film 01's Tri-X 400 preset.
Read MoreThe newly released Like A Frame 5.7 update brings a number of additions and visual improvements to the iOS app, including the ability to add a shine to the frame border, to offset the photo within the matte space inside the frame as well as adding the option for realistic “cast” shadows for non-rounded frames.
Read MoreFrom April 3rd to May 5th 2025, I will be presenting a selection of my fine art landscape and street photography work at my local bar/restaurant The Burrow, West End QLD. The opening night is 3rd April at 5pm until late. All framed prints will be available for purchase at varying prices based on size.
Thank you to The Burrow for supporting local artists. If you’re in town, please don’t hesitate to drop into The Burrow at any time during April to see my work!
Read MoreLike A Frame for iOS has received a number of bug fixes and updates since introducing Auto-Canvas mode in version 5.3. Here is a list of the updates made:
Read MoreFrankly, I’m quite impressed with how far upscaling software has come for photography. I have tried these kinds of upscaling algorithms in the past a while ago and they weren’t very successful, but Topaz Labs Gigapixel 8 does a really impressive job with the natural, fractal and randomised textures of landscape photography.
Read MoreIt all started with The Overland Track in Tasmania in January 2024, putting the Sony A7CR and a 40mm F2.5 G prime lens to the test through 8 days of wilderness trekking.
Now having started 2025 with Routeburn Track and more in New Zealand, I can reflect on what I love about using the camera and its lenses and what I don’t love, and what a “more perfect” version of it might be, as it’s not a perfect camera of course.
Read MoreSeven years and one global pandemic later, I made it back to New Zealand with my adventure and rock climbing friend Alma to hike, walk, hike some more and find as many Lord of the Rings goodies as we could fit in.
Read MoreBuy this lens! Buy it if you don’t have a need for f/2 or wider apertures, nor are you seeking absolute perfection. Otherwise, this is one of the most impressive inexpensive, lightweight and compact 50mm lenses you can buy for Sony A7 cameras in my opinion. It’s the perfect 50mm lens for landscape photographers who have weight constraints when backpacking.
Read MoreWith Auto Canvas in Like A Frame 5.3, the selected photo layer will be locked to the center and the canvas aspect ratio will automatically adjust itself depending on the size and framing settings chosen. You can still add other photo, text and overlay/sticker layers into the composition, but the auto-canvas layer will remain centered.
Read MoreSo I decided on the Sigma 90mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens because it offered a good compromise on size and weight without sacrificing build quality and optics. While not super lightweight like the 35mm F2.8 Zeiss, it still only weighs 295 grams and has a small footprint as well, which means it’s a great lens option for multi-day hiking where weight and size is always a concern.
Read MoreThe Sony 35mm Sonnar T* F2.8 ZA is an older lens and still remains rather expensive at retail cost for the issues it shows, but what you do get is a very sharp, extremely lightweight and compact lens that will be an amazing travel and hiking lens that can be used for a wide variety of subject matter, from landscapes to environmental portraits and street photography.
Read MoreEvery time I put my eye to the viewfinder to compose, I always make sure to consider and adjust the outer 5-10% of the composition I’m framing with the camera to ensure that nothing is feeling too cramped or pressed against the edge of the frame. I try to make sure that lines and shapes that extend out of frame do so in a way that is tidy.
Read MoreLike A Frame 5 is here and introduces non-destructive image editing for photo layers. Adjust exposure, brightness, contrast, shadows and highlights and saturation without affecting the original image. Your settings are saved as part of the photo layer’s composition settings.
Read MoreVersion 4.8.0 now includes a new feature called Split Panorama, which makes it quick and easy to split your wide panoramic images into multiple frames for posting to social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Threads.
