  There are many reasons you might consider converting a color photo to black & white, and in this article I share what I consider to be some of the top reasons.

  You can simulate the “miniaturization” effect possible with a tilt-shift lens with a clever trick in Lightroom Classic, as outlined in this article.

  If your photography involves travel, especially to other countries, you might be interested in a device that enables you to get online in over 135 countries, and just such a device is reviewed in this article.
• Photo Story: Sydney Opera House
  In this article I share the story behind my effort to create a unique photograph of the Sydney Opera House, which needless to say is a subject that has already been photographed countless times by many photographers.

The January 2021 issue of Pixology magazine is now available, featuring the following articles:

• Red Labels for All!
  In this article I share a relatively new addition to my workflow that involves adding a red color label to every photo upon import to my Lightroom Classic catalog.
• Understanding Lens Compression
  Photographers often talk about “lens compression” changing the perspective of a scene. In this article I explain how it isn’t really the lens that creates this effect, but rather the position of the photographer relative to the subjects in the scene.
• Sharpening Settings
  This article delves into the general settings that are commonly used for sharpening using software such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic, to help you better understand what these settings do and how to best apply them to your photos.
• Time Zone Management
  If your photography ever involves travel across time zones, you have probably struggled with managing the capture time on your camera and in the metadata for your photos. In this article I share tips for how to deal with time zone changes for your photography.
• Photo Story: Fishermen at Sunrise
  While leading a photo workshop based in Salzburg, Austria, with a focus on the majestic Alps, I captured a photo I’m very happy with that was only possible because I listened to one of my students. In this article I share the story behind the photo.
