In this video I'm taking a look at a 4-slot Nikon EN-EL15 type battery USB based charger with reverse charging. The 4 batteries will charge simultaneously at up to 1.5 amps each if you've got the proper USB power source. #LLANO #Nikon #YouTube

Two products from LLANO arrived. I'll be doing a live stream unboxing & video. These products were sent to me at no cost but they had to agree to my terms that limits bias. 👍

In this video I scan my full 22TB photo video archive with ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2026 on a dedicated remote desktop PC through my LAN. I look at stats, AI keywords, and face detection on that older computer to see how well it handles a huge media library. #Photography

I finished scanning my photo archive with ACDSee PSU 2026. I'm looking at the results and found this photo from 2019. I can't remember if I tried using this combo but it's funny at least! Here we've got a Canon M100, two macro tubes, Viltrox speed-booster, and a 135mm Canon lens.

I should be doing a mock product photoshoot stream and future video on photographing a pen case 🖋️ similar to one I did with instant ramen. 🍜 To spice it up I bought interesting materials from Michaels to use as a backdrop or table surface. 📷😎 #MichaelsStores

Should photographers and videographers always ask before taking photos or video? I share experiences from a Halloween market, including both positive interactions and one situation where I was confronted. #Photography #Ethics #DocumentaryPhotography

$380 for that feels crazy. A pure cash grab where they didn't even swap the mini-USB for USB-C. Digicams have a place, but not like this 2016 repackage and downgrade (SD to Micro SD slot). If it were $100, sure. The APS-C R100 kit is $530 right now to compare. 🤷🤣

Viltrox joined the L-Mount alliance! Thoughts? I'm surprised they didn't join sooner, but that is a great addition to that system. I'm not in a financial position to be buying equipment, but at some point I'd love to get some experience with various L-Mount cameras and lenses.

A good selection of food options and other activities that you don't normally see at a larger convention like ACEN. It still has more of an early 2000's convention feeling to it, which I think is great! 👏

It's disappointing to see that the new Ricoh GR IV is not capable of doing automatic backup to the two storage formats in the camera. The large price increase doesn't feel justified with a premium experience to match the additional $400 to $500 USD over the previous model.
