As I was deciding on what gear to bring for a trip to New Zealand earlier this year, my biggest dilemma was whether to take a drone with me or not. The thing is, while I love the idea of being able to take images and videos from unique vantage points, my biggest struggle with drones so far have been their large sizes and heavy weights. I had high hopes for the DJI Phantom 3 Pro when I bought it a couple of years ago and while it is a great drone, I rarely ever bring it with me when traveling internationally, as it is yet another large bag to carry around. When DJI announced the Mavic Pro, I really loved the idea of a foldable drone that could fit in a camera bag. But then the Mavic Air came out, promising to be lighter and even more portable – pretty much an ideal solution for lightweight travel. Without much thought, I got a hold of the Mavic Air, packed it in my bag and took off to New Zealand.

Videography • 2018-04-16 • Nasim Mansurov [What Is the Limiting Factor in Your Photography?](.ZOgWLckuLnhaYETM4rjxE3iyZlKvVV-HoKsgEpSSMsY) [Siena Building] Everyone has a limiting factor. Everyone has some reason why they aren’t taking exactly the photos they want, 100% of the time. The best photographers in history didn’t capture a perfect result (or even something good) each time they clicked the shutter, and neither will you. But your ordinary or bad work is perhaps the biggest gold mine of information you have at your disposal, and it would be absurd to overlook it if you’re trying to improve your work in the future. By evaluating your throwaway photos, you’ll be able to see the limiting factor as clearly as possible – the aspect of your photography that, more than any other, holds back your images from reaching their full potential.

The biggest issue, though, is that this can result in a significant slowdown compared to editing photos via an internal drive, especially SSD or flash storage. What are your options? One possibility is to use an external hard drive enclosure capable of RAID configurations, letting you speed up your storage or mirror the information on your drives automatically for peace of mind. The TerraMaster D2-310 Hard Drive Enclosure is one such entry-level RAID enclosure, retailing for $160 (not including the two hard drives it can accept). In the review below, we will dive into the D2-310 and explain whether or not it is a good piece of equipment for people seeking a more advanced external hard drive solution.

Using M.2 NVMe drives for storing Lightroom catalogs, RAW files and cached data can speed up performance considerably, which is why many photographers, including myself, have been choosing these drives for our needs. However, after using M.2 NVMe SSD drives in my PC builds, I realized that they come with overheating problems, which can potentially lead to more frequent failures than hard drives or standard SSD drives. Having seen a couple of M.2 drive failures in the past few years, and having recently experienced a complete drive failure myself in a build that is less than two years old, I wanted to warn our readers about use of these drives in their environments.

There could be different amounts of light coming from various sources and whatever is less than daytime light outside, I consider low-light. Indoors photography without much ambient light (as in many of our homes) as well as the light that is barely visible to our eyes at night, is also considered to be low-light. In this article, I will provide tips on how to take pictures in various low-light environments, whether indoors or outdoors.
