In 2006 I started a lighting blog while working full-time as a staffer at The Baltimore Sun. By early 2007, it became obvious that I didn’t have the personal resources to give 100% to both Strobist and my job at the newspaper. That’s exactly the position I find myself in today.

“Any comment?” is probably one of the worst ways to ask for feedback. It’s vague and open ended, and it doesn’t provide any indication of what we’re looking for.

When lighting with small subjects, a speedlight is generally all you’ll ever need. Further, because of the scale and distances involved, even with a small flash you’ll be working at low power settings. For these photos of some of the resident animals at the Howard County Conservancy, we used a single speedlight generally at one-eighth […]
When building iOS and Mac apps, it’s very common to want to present certain views either modally, or by pushing them onto the current navigation stack. For example, here we’re presenting a MessageDetailView as a modal, using SwiftUI’s built-in sheet modifier in combination with a local @State property that keeps track of whether the detail […]

When starting to adopt Swift’s new async/await feature, we’re likely going to have to find ways to connect and bridge that pattern to any existing asynchronous code that we’ve already written within a given project. Earlier this week, we took a look at how that can be done when it comes to completion handler-based APIs, […]
At WWDC21, Apple introduced a new SwiftUI API that enables us to attach refresh actions to any view, which in turn now gives us native support for the very popular pull-to-refresh mechanism. Let’s take a look at how this new API works, and how it also enables us to build completely custom refreshing logic as […]
