Charles Haacker on Fstoppers

Retired former studio owner/operator/photographer/B&W printer from film days. Never worked in digital, but now think digital is nearly unbelievable and wish I'd had it. Introduced to digital in 2007, never looked back. Definitely a raw-only shooter finishing in Lightroom, and in Photoshop for things that Lightroom either does not do well or at all.

I am just a "pretty picture guy." I am resolutely not a "gearhead." I use only compacts, "glorified point 'n' shoots." My current primary is a Sony A6300 with a couple of zooms and a 30mm macro, backed up by my A6000. I carry as little gear as possible, occasionally a small flash unit and a tripod in the car. I prefer available light, or dark as the case may be. "It's not what you have; it's how you use it."
