What is Street Photography?
Street photography often means somewhat different things to different photographers, but in essence street photography involves wandering the streets and making photographs of daily life as it unfolds before your eyes and camera…

16. November 2010
The best time to shoot a landscape is 15-30 minutes before sunrise to 30-60 minutes after and the same time frame at sunset. It’s called the “magic hour”, because that’s when you get the soft, warm light that makes great pictures. Yes, you can take landscape pictures at other times, but it will be more difficult to get the kind of shot you want…

12. June 2010
Don’t be discouraged by failure. In order to make creative images we have to give ourselves permission to fail, to come back with images that might not be worthy showing anyone. It’s part of the creative process, it’s part of finding out what works and what doesn’t work…

25. May 2010
Today I want to share a great YouTube video of Lester Hayes, a photographer who specialized in abstract photography. In many ways Hayes was a pioneer in abstract photography. This is one of the most fascinating interviews I’ve watched in a very long time. Hayes was nearly 100 years old at the time of the interview. Take a look…

I’m finding it hard to go for a walk nowadays without bringing a camera along. I’m very fortunate that my wife is quite accepting of this, probably because this is how it’s been for some years now. It’ s just the way it is today. The other day we went for a little walk around the [...]

17. November 2009
It’s been too long since I took some time out for photography – even just 20 minutes to make new images. In fact it’s been more than four weeks since I made my little Lensbaby Sees Red, Infrared series. That is way too long, but work has had me bogged down! I start getting agitated when I [...]

10. October 2009
Yesterday I picked up my Lensbaby macro lens kit at the post office (along with a telephoto kit and a set of creative apertures) and today I had an opportunity to make a few images with it. Oh boy, am I going to have a lot of fun with the two macro lenses that come in [...]

22. September 2009
Today I took the SX-70 out for an afternoon walk to do a few more test shots. However at more than US$2.00 per shot (and that’s even with the more economical Polaroid 600 film!) I was a little stingy with my exposures and only took four pictures. “Tree” As with one of the images in [...]

21. September 2009
In this post I wrote about the amazing Polaroid SX-70. While I have carried the SX-70 with me quite a bit in the past couple of weeks, it was only recently that I managed to do a few test shots with it and I thought I would just share the results here. Test Shot #01 [...]
