Sharing photos, reviews and tips for photographers
I borrowed my wife’s Canon 50mm f/1.2 L lens today….and figured I’d do a review of this stunning lens. This thing is built like a tank but isn’t too heave…and it produces some excellent photographs. Before I continue…I am NOT the target user for a 50mm lens but I thought I’d write this review up [...]
Tracie and I went to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center today and we got some pretty good shots. If you are a wildlife lover and you’re around the DFW area or traveling through the area, Glen Rose is a must see for you. If you’re a photographer, it’s even more of a must see. A [...]
The “Five Photos” series attempts to tell the story of a city using only five photographs. This is Part 1 in our “Five Photos” series.
Just finished reading through “The Naked and the Lens: A Guide to Nude Photography” and have to say it is an excellent book.

Gotta have a really nice photo of a nesting bird with young. Just sitting on the nest or adult with eggs will not qualify. [...]
Much like life, you never stop learning about photography. There is always something new popping up to help you in creating a better photograph. Most of the photos (snapshots really) that I take are outdoors. I like taking photos of animals, birds, landscapes and other outdoorsy things. The one thing that I’ve never really learned [...]
I’m a fairly inexperienced photographer (surprised?) and am always learning more about the field. I’ve always heard about photographers being hassled while taking pictures but didn’t realize it was as bad as being hassled while standing on a public sidewalk taking photographs of buildings. The folks over at discarted – life captured have recently posted [...]
