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. The winter season is not usually a time when we’d be out doing macro photography.

For most of this month I’ve been focusing the bulk of my efforts on finishing a new eBook… which is finally very near completion… with an announcement imminent.
Reflections
There are many composition approaches that can be used with photography, including using reflections of birds and other subjects on the surface of calm water.
