My favorites

Only a few more months and it will be 10 years since I started this blog. Exactly it was the 4th of March 2010 when I posted the first photo here. Crazy how quickly the time passed by. And with that, this is also the 10th My favorites post here. I traveled less this year, so the photos are a bit less varied than from the last years. Still, there were some photos I really like, and those I will share with you today. Let’s see what 2020 brings, let’s hope it’s just better and there are even more photos to share :)

Also here you can see my favorites from past years: 2018,2017,2016,2015, 2014, 2013, 20122011 and 2010 :)

Black Friday deals

Black Friday is here, and as it’s always the best time of the year to stack up on photography software, services and tutorials, I will share with you here the ones I have found most interesting and worth wile. Not that many yet, but I think there will be more as we get closer to Cyber Monday.

I will update the list as I find more of them, so the numbering is in reverse order and the latest added ones will be on top. So let’s have a look :)

14. Oloneo

Oloneo Photoengine has been my go to HDR software for years now. And right now you can get it with a huge 55% discount. They don’t offer it so cheaply often :)

Head over to Oloneo page here.

11. Fstoppers tutorials

A lot of Fstoppers tutorials are on sale, with the code BF2019, but I would specially look at the ones from Elia Locardy, the Photographing the world series. They are not cheap, but they are huge and give you a lot of great content.

10. Imagenomic

9. Clip Studio Paint

Clip studio paint (also know as Manga Studio) is not a photography software, but for drawing. Still, it’s one of the best and one can get it as low as 25 usd today. I did buy a copy long time ago :) So if you like to draw, this may be for you.
