Welcome to the week that was on Photofocus! This time, Bryan Esler explained why two Drobos are better than one, Mike Hagen discussed dissonance (whatever that is) in outdoor photography, Julie Powell showed how to make condensation on glassware for still life photos, I interviewed Skylum Chief Technology Officer Dima Sytnik on why he replaces skies in his photos and Bryan finished with a “not-to-worry”piece on Square Studio.

More importantly, it has launched a service called Square Photo Studio, to help small businesses have professional-looking photographs on their commerce websites. Square Photo Studio uses robotic cameras to take photographs at various angles. Pictures are available in […]
