How to Take the BEST Street Photography

Any street photographer worth their salt will tell you that their sport is more about people than it is about equipment. It’s about capturing everyday life and in order to do that, you need the right gear and to stay discrete. While the gear part is important, it’s only important because it’s going to help […]

Tips For Taking Nature Photos – Forests & Trees

It seems like whenever I need to practice photography or if I just want to go out to see if I can take some shots to share online, I find myself in the woods. Being surrounded by trees and photographing is perfect for those days that aren’t what others would call ideal for photo shoots. […]

How To Take Photos of the Milky Way Galaxy

I personally prefer Milky Way photography as opposed to general star photography or astrophotography. Basically, I like taking photos of the Milky Way galaxy when it’s in view, which many people might not know that it isn’t all the time. Timing is everything when it comes to taking photos of the Milky Way galaxy. It’s […]

How to Take Pictures of the Stars – Astrophotography

Last night, I went outside to take a few photos of my pool. It was dark out there and the pool filter was making ripples in the water. I thought it would look cool if I captured the ripples over a few seconds, sort of like those silky waterfall shots you see so prevalently on […]

Well, they’re both actually prime lenses, but I like to differentiate. This lens is a bit different than the 24mm. It’s […]

Has Anyone Ever Done Light Painting Night Photography?

I was camping a few nights ago when my friends and I began experimenting with my camera. We set it up so it was steady and set the shutter speed to something like ten seconds. Then, we clicked the shutter button and began running around in front of the camera with a flashlight in hand. […]

Do Prime Lenses Cost More Than Zoom Lenses?

For the longest time, I couldn’t make heads or tails of the cost of camera lenses. It seemed as though the prices were completely arbitrary and made no sense. As I got better at photography though and as I actually used a wider variety of lenses, I began to learn exactly what the seemingly strange […]

Capturing Multiple Images for an Action Composite Photograph

Have you ever seen those photos that contain the same person doing different things throughout the entire image? It’s almost like a time lapse in one photograph. I’ve seen these types of photos pertain to the sports industry and a few other places. For instance, let’s say a basketball player is jogging from the center […]
