There’s only one day left to buy the 5DayDeal “Complete Photography Bundle” — a bundle of excellent video and software resources for only $89. The deal expires tomorrow, October 8th at 3 PM ET, and this bundle won’t be offered again!

You can read our detailed review which lists some of our favorite items in the bundle, or check it out at 5DayDeal.

As usual, this has been a very popular bundle — no surprise with standout Skylum Aurora HDR 2019 software included. As always, 10% of the purchase goes to benefit some great charities, and over $81,000 has already been raised. Check out the 5DayDeal bundle before it’s gone!




Grey Market: RP + Adapter $1089, R + 24-105 $2469, 70-200 III $1649


Some more great deals have shown up at eBay for Canon lenses and mirrorless cameras. These are not authorized dealers, so these items are likely grey market (a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed). They do come from reputable unauthorized dealers with very positive feedback.



Street Price: EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM for $1749, Brand New


We continue to have a great street price on the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM. The lens is available for $1749, brand new from a Canon authorized dealer with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. Free shipping, and no tax collected to any US states.

This is the lowest street price for this lens seen yet.



Skylum Aurora HDR Makes the $89 5DayDeal Bundle Totally Worth It

There’s one really big reason why the 5DayDeal “The Complete Photography Bundle” is worth it — Skylum Aurora HDR 2019. This is a fantastic piece of advanced HDR software, one that lets you easily create stunning and realistic photos. This software regularly retails for $99, which alone is more than the price of the $89 bundle. You can think of all the other educational videos, books, and tools in that bundle as just a bonus! This is “permanent” software that does not require a subscription fee.

Aurora HDR 2019 has many powerful features for making your HDR photographs stand out (but they still look very realistic). It installs as a plugin into Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Apple Photos, or as a standalone application. You can see what the tool can do in the interactive demos on the Skylum site. The HDR Denoise and HDR Clarity features are especially impressive. We think the $89 5DayDeal bundle is totally worth it, but if you’re still not convinced, you can also download an Aurora HDR 2019 demo and try it before committing.

If you’re new to HDR, Serge Ramelli’s masterclass on Aurora HDR is also included (if you add the optional charity bonus). He takes you step-by-step through editing beautiful landscape and cityscape photos in Aurora HDR, which is a great way to get introduced to both the features and some tips and tricks.

The software alone makes a purchase of “The Complete Photography Bundle” worthwhile at $89; think of Serge Ramelli’s course as well as the rest of the bundle as a great bonus. Check out the bundle before it disappears forever on Tuesday! Remember, 10% also goes to charity, supporting some great causes.



Street Price Specials: RF 50 $1829, 28-70 $2429, 85 $2229


We continue to have great street prices on RF lenses (but limited stock remains). These lenses are brand new from authorized Canon dealers via our street price program. They come with a 1-year Canon USA warranty and free shipping. No tax is collected to any states. Limited quantities are available of each lens — please inquire for more details.



5DayDeal “Photography Bundle” $89, includes Skylum’s Aurora HDR!

The 5DayDeal “The Complete Photography Bundle” is back for the 7th straight year! This is their “classic” bundle of eBooks, videos, and software focused on making you a better photographer. It’s available for only $89 for five days only — the deal expires on October 8th at 3 PM ET, and this bundle will never be offered again!

The headline product in this year’s bundle makes it instantly a great deal: Skylum Aurora HDR 2019, an award-winning advanced HDR photo editor, is included in the bundle (regular price of $99). This is a “lifetime” license (not subscription-based), and is worth more than the bundle itself.

We spent some time watching, reading, and reviewing the rest of the bundle. We list some of the best (in our opinion) items below. While most content is in the basic $89 bundle (10% goes to charity), some of the items listed below are only available at the two additional bonus levels (charity bonus and pro add-on bonus).

  • Many resources for learning how to edit photos. Video guides teach general editing in Lightroom, Elements, and Photoshop. A “Fine Art Photography Masterclass” guides through the art of editing architectural photos; “The Great Abyss” introduces some fascinating polar coordinate techniques. Specialized guides instruct food photography editing in Lightroom, and the creation of astrophotography composites. Individual techniques are covered in-depth, such as “Digital Blending Basics”, and “Mastering Dodging and Burning”.
  • Business guides to help you crack the business of photography. “Pick Price Profit” helps you set appropriate pricing points; “The Business of Retouching” is an essential guide for professional photographers and retouchers.
  • Posing workshops take you step-by-step through this critical process. “The Complete Posing Workshop” covers standard posing extensively, while “Lifestyle Newborn Photography Made Easy” tackles a niche subject quite well.
  • Shooting guides follow a photographer through a particular variant of photography, be it waterfalls (“How To Photograph Waterfalls”), headshots (“The Art Behind the Headshot”), or astrophotography (“Astrophotography: Post Processing The Milky Way”).
  • Introductory material cover photography basics (“Understanding Exposure & Your DSLR”, “Get Camera Confident”, and “The Guide to Shooting in Manual Mode”).
  • 30 GB of Photo Storage, Unlimited Client Galleries, and Mobile Apps for 12 months — when you purchase the option “Pro Add-on” bundle, you receive 12 months of free gallery hosting at CloudSpot.io — a $420 value, which makes the $39 “Pro Add-on” totally worth it!

The Skylum Aurora HDR alone makes a purchase of “The Complete Photography Bundle” worthwhile at $89. As usual, the bundle is still worth purchasing if one or two of the items catch your interest, and perhaps something unexpected in the bundle will inspire you. As before, 10% goes to charities so you are also supporting very worthwhile causes. Check out the bundle before it’s gone!
