9 Great Wildlife Photography Tips

9 Great Wildlife Photography Tips: "I am a firm believer that wildlife photography is not just about capturing great images. It’s equally about taking time to observe, and more importantly, really enjoy the experience of being in the company of wild animals. Wildlife photography awakens a primal hunting instinct in us. We get to stalk our quarry, preferably unnoticed, and then as a substitute to making a killing shot, we take a killer photo instead."

In Photography (like life) Light and Shadow go Hand in Hand | Reframed with Tracey and Her Teen

In Photography (like life) Light and Shadow go Hand in Hand | Reframed with Tracey and Her Teen: " am a photographer who is obsessed with light. I guess that’s kind of normal for a photographer. After all, without light, there would be no photography. But, like with most things you can’t focus on one side of the spectrum and totally ignore the other. With light, you will always find shadow following close behind. When featuring the light in my day to day images I find that I’m equally as focused on how the light interacts with my subject, which quite often means watching for, and incorporating shadows."

Getting off Auto – Manual, Aperture and Shutter Priority modes explained

Getting off Auto – Manual, Aperture and Shutter Priority modes explained: "You may have heard that once you get a DSLR you need to learn to shoot in manual and only ever use that mode. That if you are using the Aperture or Shutter Priority you’re cheating and if you want to be more like a pro you have to shoot in Manual only, all the time. To that I say “horse pucky”! (if you’re old enough to remember M.A.S.H. you’ll get that reference)."

Understanding Camera Lenses – PictureCorrect

Understanding Camera Lenses – PictureCorrect: "When shopping for a DSLR camera people often overlook or skimp on the camera’s lenses. Camera censes serve as the camera’s “eye,” the lens determines what and how your camera will see your subject and how well that view is transmitted to the camera’s sensor chip for recording. The way I like to look at camera lenses is as painter’s brushes, broad strokes, medium stokes, all purpose brushes, and small detail brushes. There is a lot to learn about lenses and this article will serve as a basic outline to understanding them. The following sections explain the basic types of digital SLR camera lenses, how they work, and how to select them."

Review: Photojojo's Pocket Spotlight

Review: Photojojo's Pocket Spotlight: "Never before have I so wished that I could use a device for taking photos of that device. That was certainly the case with Photojojo’s US$30 Pocket Spotlight, however. It’s simply a tiny battery-powered array of 32 LED bulbs, that provide a source of soft, even light as an alternative to the harsh light of a flash. While serious photographers will already have proper lighting systems of their own, it’s a nice tool for all the point-and-shooters out there."
