I tend to use a lot of software and camera gear, so I thought I share with you my thoughts on them. My reviews are short, and I try to show what the software/hardware is good for, how I use it, and how it may be useful in your workflow. In the case of some of them, I also have discount codes, that you may use, if you decide to buy the product, and you can find them at the end of the review.
I hope you find them useful.
