read moreDxOMark Mobile report: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge tops rankings
It’s funny, I keep reading in the US tech media that Samsung copied the iPhone 6 (riiiight, because it wasn’t Apple that copied Samsung on larger screens and phablets…) but the S6 is still not quite a match for the (Chinese-made) American phone. They even went as far as publishing phony tests showing that the iPhone has faster graphics. Yeah, too bad they always forget to mention that the Samsung has a much higher resolution… As for the camera, most American reviewers won’t go past “it’s as good as...
read moreWhat’s that noise? Shedding some light on the sources of noise
How would you react if I told you that the aperture and shutter speed you choose make more difference to image noise than the ISO setting? You might be surprised to discover that a lot of the noise in your images doesn’t come from your camera at all: it comes from the light you’re capturing. To really understand what’s going on in your camera and, hence, how to get the best results out of it, it helps to understand a little bit about where noise comes from. Noise is widely misunderstood and yet it lies...

read moreWinds of Change: Shooting changing landscapes
Landscape photographers thrive on variety. It’s a bad idea to shoot the exact same image as someone else, and, while not quite as bad, shooting a very similar composition to an existing image usually isn’t considered much of an achievement. A good landscape photo should be original in at least one way, and finding a unique composition, a different, fresh look, is an important part of originality. But the photography world is booming, and every other photographer has images of iconic locations. Year by year...

read morePortraits of Dogs Before and After Bath Time
“Dry Dog Wet Dog†is an ongoing project by Brisbane, Australia-based pet photographer Serenah Hodson. It’s a series of side-by-side portraits showing dogs before and after they’re soaked with water. Serenah says she got the idea for the project while washing her own dogs. “Their personalities change when they know it’s bath time,†she writes. So, she decided to shoot a series of photos showing how a dog’s appearance and personality both change when it comes to bath time. You can follow along with this project through...
read more12 Reasons Photographers Still Choose to Shoot Film over Digital
This year will mark forty years since the invention of the first functioning digital camera, and despite it being a measly 0.01 megapixels, it heralded a new age of digital photography and with it came a death cry for film. Prompted by this incredibly dull article published recently by the BBC, I decided to ask some fellow photographers what reasons they had for still shooting the so-called “outdated†technology. Here’s the list of what they told me… #1. Film Photography Was Already Perfect Those of us lucky enough to have...
read moreThe Only Free-Range Herd of Reindeer in Canada
For the past two years, Canadian photographer Nicolas Dory has documented the annual migration of the country’s only free-range herd of reindeer, which consists of about 3,000 animals. After Canada’s caribou population began to decline in the early 1900s, US and Canada partnered together to help the Inuvialuit population of the Mackenzie Delta avoid food shortage. In 1929, 3,440 reindeer were imported to Canada through Alaska from Scandinavia. Since that time, reindeer herding is still practiced by descendants of people in the...
read moreOne Camera, One Lens, and 20 Presidential Candidates
After 27 years of shooting daily photo assignments I had found myself at a crossroads in my photojournalism career. At that point I had spent 20 years as a staff photographer at The Boston Herald and 7 years as the Photo Editor of the Lowell Sun. But creatively I felt as if I was in a rut or shooting on autopilot. Every day slinging the two Canon 1D series cameras over my shoulder with the classic photojournalism combo of a 24-70mm and a 70-200mm f/2.8 L lens and tackling the day’s assignments. Don’t get me wrong, I was producing...

Architecture photographers strive to get the lines all perfectly straight and up and down. But sometimes converging lines, or bending ones can create more powerful images. Note: Check out our Using Lines in Your Photography series for more on this topic.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
