Photo Gear & Technical Tips: Optimize Your Workflow

As a professional photographer, I started out covering motorsports before turning to architectural, travel, and now fine art photography. Alongside my creative work, I regularly share technical articles grounded in extensive, real-world experience.

This section is designed for demanding photographers who want to better understand, choose, and use their photo gear. You'll find practical articles on lens compatibility (especially between Nikon F and Z mounts), a comprehensive comparison chart of Nikon Z lenses (FX and DX), guides on scanning film photographs using flatbed scanners or digital cameras, and dependable methods for backing up images without a computer while traveling or on assignment.

Methodology & editorial line. My lens write-ups are field-tested reviews after professional use: not 48-hour loaners, not lab benches. You won’t see a test shot at every aperture or focal mark; instead, you’ll see real photographs made in real conditions to illustrate what a lens can actually deliver. These articles are the kind of information I wish I could have read before investing in a lens, honest, use-case oriented, and transparent about limitations. They may not match every shooting style, but they complement magazine lab tests and press kits with long-term, on-location feedback.

Whether it’s a tilt-shift wide-angle, a macro lens, a comparison of scanning workflows, or a proven mobile workflow for travel, each article is detailed, illustrated, and tested with one goal: help you make informed choices, work more efficiently, and keep your files safe in any situation.

All content is written with a spirit of sharing and practical know-how. It is not commercially driven and contains no promotional messaging, only reliable insights based on real use.

Whether you’re working with a DSLR, a mirrorless camera, or exploring film scanning techniques from your old negatives, this section provides hands-on advice, step-by-step tutorials, and personal feedback from a photographer used to real-world constraints.

Gear, accessories, compatibility, backups, scanning: build your technical expertise with articles written by a working photographer who knows the field inside out.
