On Sunday this past weekend I had the chance for a February practice session, photographing birds-in-flight at a local frozen-over harbour. Most of the birds were ducks and geese, along with a few gulls.
Buried in Branches
It can be difficult to photograph birds buried in branches, especially smaller subjects that don’t give us much of an auto-focus target.
Why We Need Photography
There are many reasons why we need photography. These vary by individual but are relevant and meaningful nonetheless.
Similar Subjects With Different Sensors
This article discusses photographing similar subjects with different sensors, and shares a selection of blossom images.
January Outdoor Macro Images
This article features a selection of January outdoor macro images that were captured using handheld in-camera focus stacking.

Handheld Bird Photography eBook
We have just published our 188 page Handheld Bird Photography eBook, which features over 430 original bird images. This new eBook covers a range of content areas that are fundamental to handheld bird photography.
