| canon 'camera
connect' app |

The Canon 5D IV comes equipped
with a built-in Wi-Fi capability and a free companion app called Camera
Connect may be downloaded to remotely operate the camera using a
Smartphone or other device. In the past, a separate device would have to
be purchased to provide this capability for the camera.
Having these tools readily available and a communication connection
established, for all intents and purposes the device becomes your Live
View screen. |

| topaz 'b&W
effects' software |

Topaz Labs offers a number of plug-ins for
Lightroom and Photoshop. My favorite is
Topaz Clarity but Topaz B&W is quite good
when you want a stand-out black and white
treatment for a specific photo and don't
want to put too much time into making it
happen.
Nik (now owned by Google) also has what I
understand is an outstanding product for
this purpose. I have not used that product. |

| gimbal head |

I
just purchased an
Induro GHB2 Gimbal Head
and love it!
With my Manfrotto Ball Head it was difficult
to maneuver my Canon 500 mm lens.
The Induro makes this operation a breeze. For
those of you not familiar with the gimbal
concept, a gimbal head rotates a lens around its center
of gravity, thus allowing for easy and
smooth manipulation while tracking moving
subjects. This proves useful in wildlife
photography as well as in any other case
where very long and heavy telephoto lenses
are used. |

| I have done some "Before and After" tests
with the new Clarity software and thought I
would share my initial impressions by way of
some examples from some of my recent shoots.
For the following photos, I applied presets
and did not go into the sliders and masking
features of the program.

Today I purchased a
Manfrotto L-Bracket MS050M4-Q2. I had
been contemplating this for awhile.
The reason for the purchase was to provide
the ability to fairly easily switch from
landscape mode to portrait mode when using a
ball head on my tripod. With the standard
adapter plate, one had to loosen the ball,
make sure the tripod was orientated so that
you could rotate the camera and "hit" one of
the slots in the ball head. After managing
that, the camera was off to one side and was
a bit "tippy" as the camera was not over the
center of the tripod. |
