Although I'm always very careful on shoots, accidents happen quickly. I often come home with bruises and my wife asks me what I've been doing again. But I don't even remember bumping myself. It's a different story with a bleeding wound, though.
After both Sandisk and Western Digital made so much bad news about their external hard drives last year, I was looking for an alternative. Small external hard drives are simply important for shooting trips.
Taking photos by the sea is very beautiful. There is a lot of light as there is a huge flat area in front of you and the incredible amount of water is always breathtaking, too. The issue of tides should not be overlooked, though.
Shipping my illustrated book overseas is damn expensive. There's no denying that. But I pack and ship the book in such a way that it can't be damaged en route, even if the parcel carrier treats it roughly.
When you produce a book, the choice of paper is a crucial factor that often goes unnoticed by many. Every paper is different and for a high-quality printed matter, you have to take a few things into account.

When you take pictures outside, especially around trees and grass, you might notice an annoying green color in your photos. It's like a tint that messes with the real colors.

Are you tired of the cold, clinical look of digital photography? Do you want to add a little warmth and personality to your shots? Look no further than diffusion filters. Here's how to make your own.
Sometimes I think that I could never live up North during the winter. It would be way too dark for me. Even in Germany, it's too gloomy for me from October to March. Today, I learned that there's a term for my preference for daylight: Photophilia.
There's been a lot of talk in recent months about the new Artificial Intelligence in Photoshop. Especially the topic of Generative Fill and the wondrous things you can do with it. I downloaded the beta version and took a look at it as well.
