Features

My old camera is about to reach the end of it’s life, so I started looking around for offers to buy a new one. I want to share with you some of these offers that I believe it’s worth. You might need them as well.
And this is not just about a new camera, it is also about a large range of discounts for photography accessories. I really enjoy seeing all these offers on memory cards, filters, but most of all on lenses.

Environmental photography
The title is simple, but the article is complex and reached deep into my heart. The images used as examples left me with a strong taste about the world we live in. It’s always great to read articles from Magnum Photo.

Pregnancy Photography Tips
This is another subject that will never fail to reach the human hearts. Yet, in this article I saw some photographs that are totally unique, such as a painted pregnant woman. Also, there is video at the very beginning of the article.

Smoke Photography and Smoke Art
This article is probably the HIT of the month. Smashing Magazine always comes will cool articles debating actual themes. So it is the case now too. The examples are unique, professional and very creative. Yet, I do not understand what water pictures have to do with smoke.

Triggering a Camera’s Flash with Sound and Light
This a very complex article for geeks. This article focuses on making the sensors used to trigger a camera’s flash using a microphone or a cheap laser pointer. You have the necessary tools, materials, and a piece of software code.
