A Set of Brown Tone Images
A Post By: Darlene Hildebrandt The time of year is upon us when things turn brown up here in northern part of the world. Leaves turn yellow and then brown. Grass changes from green to beige as nature prepares for winter. You may consider brown a boring color and one that isn’t very photogenic or interesting.

Set of brown tone images: On the top of the world by aranka delina janné on 500px Boxing Bear by Olav Thokle on 500px House of Furballs by Alex...
read moreRichard Franiec offers Canon PowerShot G7 X custom grip
You’re right. These things should have been designed right onto the camera by the manufacturer. If they did that, then they would add less than a dollar to the total cost of the camera. But since they didn’t, your only option left is to buy a tack on grip. And none of them are cheap, and the ones made by Franiec seem to be the best ones made. I will never understand why manufacturers omit a usable grip on small cameras. It would cost them almost nothing to do, and it would help give them a competitive advantage over other models...

Their hope is to impact the world by helping us gain self-acceptance rather than focusing on criticism. Hurley and Rowley met while working on an assignment for Microsoft. After meeting and better getting to know one another, they realized their mutual...

Even though her face was blurred out automatically by...

The responses speak for themselves, with almost every photographer saying that one needs to ‘hustle’ and ‘take risks’ to succeed. (via Fstoppers) Source Article from...

It doesn’t matter if your hair is perfect. It doesn’t matter if you...
