I just used Capture One full time for one year. These 3 things must be changed.

I just spent a year away from all Adobe products and used Capture One exclusively during all of 2024 for all commercial assignments and personal content. I actually cancelled my Adobe Photographers subscription at the end of 2023 to ensure I would not be tempted to go to the dark side during my testing period. Here is what I found after using Capture One for a full calendar year.

Starting in 2026, Nikon Professional Services NPS membership will automatically renew yearly.

When I last logged in to my NPS membership page to update my equipment list recently, I noticed that there was some additional fine print at the bottom of the landing page. Upon further inspection, It reads in part that renewals will be automatic starting in 2026. I’m sure this is related to the fact that now they charge for certain membership levels. Now, the can charge your credit card in perpetuity.

2024 Robert G Allen Photography Year in Review
2024 Robert G Allen Photography Year in Review

2024 was a pretty typical year as far as both event and personal assignments. The one exception is that on the event photography side, it was the highest grossing sales year ever, quite an accomplishment considering the dismal state of commercial photography.

I would say the highlight would have to be was attending a photography workshop in Tuscany Italy with Joe McNally and Tamera Lacky.

Today, Robert G Allen Photography takes delivery of the Nikon Z50II and the NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens with Sample Photos

Today, I received the latest Nikon camera release, The Z50II along with the DX lens 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3.

I had a chance to use this combination shortly after delivery as I provide event photography coverage for a major local holiday event.

Since I no longer use any Adobe products (due to the AI mess they have created resulting in fake photos everywhere), and Capture One has yet to support the Z50II, I had to use Adobe’s DNG converter (cough, cough…) to convert the NEF files into DNG files in order to use Capture One to process the photos.
