R.I.P Michael Reichmann
I read the very sad news this morning that Michael Reichmann of Luminous-Landscapes has passed away. Michael was one of the very first pros who adapted and later switched to digital for professional work. I followed Luminous-Landscapes almost since its inception. Michael's landscape pictures were an eye opener for me, even though I do not really do landscapes. I thoroughly enjoy all his travel/landscape master pieces. But it was his reviews of cameras and accessories/software that I really enjoy. The reviews of the Canon D30, D60 and other Canon digital bodies influenced my decisions on choosing my first DSLR. I love his review style from a usability perspective, a stark contrast to DPReview which was (still is?) very technical and clinical. I bought some of his Video Journal DVDs (and later downloads) he and Chris Sanderson produced and they were always informative and often entertaining.
