I really don’t know what to make of this one. It’s either a stroke of genius or absolutely ludicrous. I’m talking about Lenscapt, which is a new type of lenscap for DSLRs, mirrorless and other cameras. It’s being funded through Kickstarter and at first, I thought it seemed pretty daft.

Imagine that, the ability to create a new world at the click of a shutter. It is small, portable and and only requires a speedlight and any SLR lens to work. Things you already probably have.

The third time’s a charm, as they say, so let’s see what you get with the third update of Luminar’s AI-driven editing software.
