There is an incredible amount of excellent, creative photography to be viewed on flickr. It’s simply mind boggling to think about all the creative talent that’s out there. Today I looked through hundreds and hundreds of different Lensbaby shots on flickr with the intention to make another ‘15 Fine Flickrs’ compilation. There were many beautiful images [...]

“Light Magic.” Photography is about light, right? This was quite a fun image to make. It was made at my main work place where I have the chance to watch how the light changes in this particular area depending on how high or how low the sun is in the sky. It is most interesting when [...]

“Crying Little Devil.” As the title implies it was the poster of the little devil (or what looks like a little baby devil to me anyway) that attracted me to this scene. However as I looked at the scene more closely I also started noticing interesting geometrical shapes and I saw the potential for contrasting warm [...]

A couple of months ago I sold my beloved Hasselblad XpanII to free up some cash so I could upgrade my Canon 20D to a Canon 5DMKII. However I kept my old 20D (partly as I have a few good EF-S lenses and partly because of the extra reach the 20D’s 1.6 crop factor offers). In fact I logged onto Ebay and [...]
