Amos: “I just published a story shot with the GX8 (plus 40-150mm Olympus, 12-35mm Panny, 25mm Leica & 15mm DJI lenses) on the mountain shepherds of Georgia. The story has been used by several different media around the world, and was selected by Buzzfeed as one of their top examples of photojournalism.It will be the last story I shoot on the GX8 (I just bought a GH5), sincerely hope that’s not the last of the GX line!

Jacob: “Just did a review of the iFootage Electric Ray E1 which lets you run GH5 from USB power, thought it might be of interest to your readers: http://jacobjamesphotography.co.uk/innovative-gear-ifootage-cobra-monopods-electric-ray-review/”

Gary: “Heya folks…. thought you’d be interested in this short video made with the GH5 at a new private terminal for celebrities at Los Angeles International Airport. First, here’s an article about the terminal itself in Vanity Fair, and its reason for being.

And here’s the video itself. It was made entirely on the GH5, using the Zhiyun Crane and Benro Aero4 tripod. Lenses were the Voigtlander 25 and Panny 12-35. Used Adam Wilt’s Field Monitor app extensively to optimize the GH5’s limited dynamic range… was essential to making this possible. Edited in FCPX and graded in Davinci Resolve 14. Music is a cover we produced of the Zero7 song “In the Waiting Line” (from the film “Garden State”), used with permission from Universal Music.
The cool thing is that all the equipment to shoot this video fit into a carry-on bag that I brought with me from where I live in SF to LA. Hard to believe you can make a film like this all with carryon!

Our reader Steve noticed that there are still brand new Olympus E-5 Four Thirds cameras on sale at Amazon US. And even more surprising the price is really quite high!

P.S.: Deal of the Day: Save big on select Pelican cases and luggage at Amazon.com.

WINDOWS USERS

• Work faster. Luminar can now launch more quickly.  Plus you’ll see a faster-editing performance and better RAM usage.

• More export control. You can choose to export to the Adobe RGB wide color profile or the ProPhoto RGB color space on export. You can also sharpen an exported file which is great for printing.
• Better masking controls. Users can adjust both the feather and density controls on a mask to refine the blending of layers. When editing a mask, a user can also press the X hotkey to toggle between Paint/Erase brush mode.
• More editing control. Now even more raw formats can be edited natively with our RAW Develop filter.  All filters also support advanced blending mode options as well.

• Improved workflow with other applications. We’ve addressed several small bugs reported when working with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Lightroom, and Photos for Mac.
• Better batch processing. A streamlined user interface makes batch processing even easier to fix multiple photos at once. Additional improvements also made to address user-reported issues.
• Improved Native files. Save your editing projects in the native Luminar format which makes it easy to come back and edit in the future. Plus files can be shared between Mac and Windows users.
