I was asked to take a group photo at our work for their website. I selected a few spots in our building which looked promising. However, I was not impressed by the results. It shows that I still have a lot to learn! I'd appreciate your feedback: how can I improve these photos? 1. This was taken...

As I mentioned, I have a Cokin system myself, and I'm entirely impressed with it. I don't think it is any easier to put on and off than the screw-on filter (unless I keep the holder on all the time). Also, the square filter doesn't cover the lens completely, so I wouldn't trust it with a 10-stop...

I'm thinking about getting a good quality (probably B+W) ND filter. I don't intend to use it too often, and they are rather expensive, so I want to buy only one. A 6-stop filter will slow the shutter speed by a factor 64. This is probably good for waterfalls and flowing water, where exposures of...

Some beautiful photos from Bored Panda.

I was considering buying this lens but cannot find it anywhere. Amazon UK says "discontinued". Most online shops don't have it. The only place I can find it is either eBay, or one of the grey import shops. It is a bit strange, as this lens is still listed on Sigma UK web site. And the lens was...

What's wrong in using one of these (UK version)? Edit: Should have read your post more carefully. You wanted something small. Fair enough...

This photo took quite an effort to take. And here is the story behind it. And yes, it's a Nikon!

A few snapshots from my holiday

Thank you, sir! You've put into words what my gut feeling was telling you. The hills on the far shore are indeed not very interesting, so my feeling was that the standard crop would be boring. It just required something special. For your entertainment, here is a shot of the same area taken on a...

#3 Sun and boat

OK, here is a more traditional crop. I think I prefer my original version...

As I sit in a rented holiday cottage overlooking Loch Torridon (Scotland) I watch the ever-changing weather patterns, clouds, rain and light. A few minutes ago I spotted a chance for an interesting photo with an unusual composition. Most of it is just an empty white sky with misty hills at the...
