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!

Before endeavouring to photograph a new (or any) subject, it is important to limit any risk to you or to stress the subject. The following questions are designed to help in this situation, so great images can be created and no harm done. This is were Shreejata Gupta came in, my local monkey expert, who kindly helped us to Know Your Subject (KYS)! :)

Some French wolf saga continues, with the European Commission being involved. I have been following this story since July (SOME BAD NEWS FOR FRENCH WOLVES & THINGS GET WORSE FOR THE FRENCH WOLF) and I find it concerning... 

A key component of wildlife photography is to know you subject. Knowing more about your subject will allow you to preempt situations and shots rather than reactively taking them.

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.
