Ever since I set up my NAS devices at home many years ago, it has been a rock solid system that has been housing everything from my large library of photos to media and personal documents. Between the DS1817+ that I reviewed a couple of years ago and my photography workflow that incorporates good backup practices, I have been very happy with my storage setup. However, knowing how good Synology has been in releasing quality upgrades to their hardware and software over the years, it was time to see the latest iteration of the popular 8-bay NAS, the Synology DS1825+. Let’s see what this beast has to offer and compare its features to its predecessors, as well as other products on the market.

In these cases, getting the lens as low as possible can be key. Today, let’s look at a simple and effective way to do just that.

If you shoot in Raw, you can set your white balance in post. That’s great, but it might lead you to think that your white balance setting doesn’t really matter at all. However, that’s far from the case. In this article, I’ll explain why it’s actually important to set your white balance and picture control settings while you’re shooting, especially if you’ve got a mirrorless camera.
