Here is another one from the archives... A quick 3 day jaunt to Jerusalem in Israel back in 2011.

Here's a quick tip to make your nighttime sky go 'boom' with one simple trick in adobe lightroom!

"What lens should I get next?" is a common question I am asked and it is not a simple answer. But one little trick i use to help me decide which lens i should buy next is to examine my current lens/focal length usage. By looking at this information you can see if you need a direct lens upgrade, or to go longer/wider...  I hope this video helps! :)

Photography is expensive, so I try and take advantage of any little cash-saving tips i can (without impacting images of course).  Shoot.fr just released a great little video of what can be hacked out of IKEA goods (I miss IKEA in India). So for all you guys who can get to an IKEA...  you should check these out! :)

I like TED talks, but this one by Trey Ratcliff is great....  worth a watch! :)

Bhitarkanika in Odisha, is a lesser known national park, but well worth the visit if you are in the area. It is famous for  The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) with nearly 10%  of them over 6 meters long. I found it fantastic for king fishers, and i was pretty much alone the whole day I spent there!

Are UV filters useful for Digital Photography? Do they protect your lens? Steve Perry beats up some lenses to find out! :)

Thinking of buying or selling used lenses...  read this first! ;)

Camera lenses are expensive, and for most of us are the subject of dreams. One way you can facilitate achieving ownership of your dream lens is to buy second hand.

I have both bought and sold several second hand lenses. In all of my cases it has been successful and a joy to do. I get to give/receive and new bit of kit and meet some interesting people along the way.

Kabini is one of my favourite wildlife destinations, and a location I have visited many times. It always has something to offer, but for me, the monsoon is a fantastic and highly underrated time to visit...  the vibrant colours and greens are sensational! It is harder to spot the big game, but when you do, wow...  the pics pop!

When taking a photo, where can you chop off parts of the model safely? Check this out to find out!

ps - I do not mean a dark alley, I mean cropping the image! :P

BRT hills (Biligiriranga Swamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary), located South-east of Mysore is another Karnataka tiger reserve. I've only been the once  for a couple of wet days during the monsoon nearly 2 years ago. Despite it not being the most prolific of wildlife trips, being in the jungle when it is so lush is such a pleasure, and inexplicably very memorable! :) Low light, mist and clouds, hills, tall undergrowth...  it all adds the the mystic of the jungle.
