Neither can I; I tried it once, but it didn't work for me. But I can enjoy results that surpass mine in so many ways, even if my taste is different. In photography, I'm free to follow only the ...

An aunt in my family was famous for her cooking. When asked for recipes, she always obliged and shared with no regrets, saying: "Whenever I follow a recipe, I don't follow it 100%, and I assume ...

Catchlights are not affected by iris size. They're reflections off the lens of the eye. When the iris closes, it reduces reflections off the retina, thus reducing the risk of red eyes.

Nice sharp picture of his shoulder. His face is blurred.

I'm more tolerant than most when it comes to catchlights. I think somehow our brain compares the catchlights with the way light falls on the face, and if they match (and they do if not ...

I found that Zeiss made a 30 mm fisheye for Hasselblad. That was in the days when Hasselblad was using 6x6 cm film, so it was ultra wide angle. As far as I can see it fills the frame corner to ...

Had a few good smiles here. Playful and funny series, much in the spirit of Marilyn. Elegant clothes too. You make it look so effortless, but anybody who has even tried will know it's not. No ...

C&C is short for "Comments and Critique". If you tick the box when you post a picture, we'll know you'd like to hear our suggestions as to how you might have improved the shot (in our opinion, of ...

Congratulations, enjoy the deserved appreciation. I think this was the right winner and the best of the bunch. It has a different edge to it, the intense colours, the strong graphic of the tree and ...

If she's a good wife, she'll understand. If she doesn't, you now have the clues to decide what should go and what to keep. Celebrate the outcome with buying an Xpro trigger. It's the best! Edit: If ...
