The dedication of these photographers can make finding the right gift all the more

Microsoft recently revealed the Surface Laptop Ultra designed with NVIDIA RTX Spark at the center of the device. NVIDIA is the top dog when it comes to graphics cards and Microsoft has one of the largest footprints when it comes to operating systems. On paper, this partnership makes sense, but does it pay off? Microsoft was kind enough to send over their Surface Laptop Ultra to us and I have some impressions that I

Many budding filmmakers have toiled away on the color correction and grading of their first masterpiece, watched it over countless times, hit the export button, pulled it up on a TV, and been shocked. "This looks nothing like I was expecting. The colors! The contrast! The saturation!"

These monitors often display video way differently than televisions,

What is it about the 2000s look that is so compelling right now? One could chalk it up to the eternal recurrence of 20-year nostalgia cycles, of which the retro digicam revival would be yet another instance. But this kind of historicism elides the character of what is missed, and why its retrieval is attempted in the first place.
Smartphone bad; we know this. Rejecting the smartphone, however, does not immediately lead one to retro digicams. One could just as easily move toward the nostalgia of film as toward the competent excellence of today

By now, the film resurgence has eclipsed its charming underdog status to become a full-blown front in what has become an all-out, open revolt against the smartphone and its visual aesthetics.
