How good is your kit? Well, probably it's excellent. Even if it is not the current generation and not top of the range. This week we discuss the pros and cons of having top of the range kit for cameras, lenses, computers and more.

What's your range? 5 stops? 12 stops? 25 stops? In a follow up to our conversation a few weeks ago about LOFIC sensors, it's time to consider the creative opportunities that very high dynamic range in our cameras might bring. What doors does this technology open for photography? Are there any unintended consequences? Are there stars in London at night?

Every time has it's aesthetic, its 'look' - and every 'classic look' was once a technical limitation that people learned to love or hate. Today we can create pristine imagery and yet, for some of us, that lacks something. Which is worth discussing!

What if you could fix that little niggly tool you didn't like in your photo editor? Or maybe there is a tool you would love to have but don't? Hang on though, you pay money for those tools - what if they were free? And fully customised to your workflow. And only had the things you need and none of the things you didn't. And the UI was Goldilocks "juuusst right."

These sorts of things might be possible if you spend just a few hours learning to vibe code and build your own apps and tools. Which is what Adrian has been doing!

What if your smartphone sensor could capture a genuine 20 stops? This is the promise of LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) technology which made the press last year but could come to market in 2026.

Could we see phones at the back end of the year released with 200MP 16-stop sensors? And what do we do with all that extra light?

Our creative endeavours are intensely personal. Luckily then, we have access to a vast array of tools, many of which are themselves almost infinitely configurable. So how do we manage that? How do we get the best out of our tools to support our creative vision without being blown away by the choices? Which options allow our creative experimentation to flourish and which should we set and forget?
