The Pros and (Mostly) Cons of Upgrading to a 4K Monitor

Image
I'm in the process of getting back into photography which will mean a new camera, more on that in a later post. But the first step for me was a new computer, one with the horsepower to handle a modern day camera and its RAW files. Along with the computer comes a new 4K monitor. 4K is great for media consumption, right? Your characters on your favorite show or movie really look detailed and realistic. Scenery looks wonderful. Everything looks great, right? Wrong. You know what doesn't look great? That photo I took in 2012 that I thought was sharp but is very much not. I transferred over my past catalogs of photos over to Lightroom Classic and eagerly began opening up some of my favorite photos. At first I was happy with how the colors looked and how the scene was composed. Then I noticed it was a little soft. Well I had just gotten a new contacts prescription so that must be it. Changed to my glasses and the photos were even blurrier! I went through photo after photo and most ca

Meet The Collection, Version 2

Image
Version 2 of the collection was finalized today when I took delivery of my Mido Ocean Star Titanium. This is the last planned purchase of 2020 (I'm on the fence about another watch, but it can wait until 2021) and as such it takes my collection to what I think is a solid well rounded collection, if a little Swatch Group heavy. But before we get to version 2.0 we have to meet 1.0.  Version 1.0

The last watch of 2020, the Mido Ocean Star Titanium. After a rough period with my Orient Mako II I've been hesitant about dive watches. I knew they weren't my favorite style, but I like them. So I wanted to get a couple things with my dive watch. Titanium was a must. Orange accent colors were also a must. Beyond that it's got sapphire and solid endlinks, both steps up from the Mako II. My hope for this watch is it will be "the drive watch" for the foreseeable future. So far, I'm impressed. 🤩
