This is a follow-up to my previous post about using slow shutter speeds. I wanted to elaborate on the water theme a little bit so here goes. * * * The shutter speed to use with moving water is one of the more interesting issues in landscape photography. Some prefer a fast shutter to freeze…

For a very long time I’ve been wondering why I like to use long shutter speeds with moving water. I’ve just always liked it, from the very beginning of my photography career – it was the reason I bought my first polariser filter and I still remember the first waterfall I used it on. In…

I woke up early to catch the morning light, only it turned out that I might as well have slept in. Once again there was enough clouds in the sky to make photography just one long exercise in patience and I really broke my record while I waited for light to fall on both my…

I’m normally not easily impressed, but I was absolutely floored when I was looking at this photographer’s work – Charles Cramer. Just awesome, the style is right up my alley and I only wish I could take pictures even a fraction this good! I know that the gear doesn’t make the photographer, but I suddenly…

Or, Sigma 150mm 1:2.8 APO Macro DG HSM EX, to be exact. It’s fair to say that I have really put the Sigma 150mm macro lens through its paces this summer.

I was in a hurry to get some sleep last night so I will write down the full experience now. I’m new at aurora photography (and night photography in general) so I have to take some notes to learn. But before I get to the nuts and bolts of the event, I just have to…

This is it – the day I have been waiting for! My requirements for shooting the full moon are very specific. I’m not interested in the moon for the sake of itself, I mean when you’ve seen one moon frame-filler, you’ve seen them all. What can you say? ”Nice composition”? Nope, that just doesn’t do…

Now that the obligatory play with words is out of the way, let’s concentrate on the picture. We have plenty of roe deer around here, but somehow I’ve just never managed to photograph one. They are very skittish so they will bolt at the first sign of a human being, while they have no problems…

I couldn’t wait anymore and ordered my Canon 40D, which arrived even earlier than I expected! I haven’t gone all trigger happy and tested it just for the sake of testing, rather I’m just taking the pictures I would anyway. I will leave the reviewing and pixel peeping to others (and there are plenty of…
