Hybrid Cameras
I was going to post this last week – as the eagle-eyed among you might have noticed – but I didn’t have time to write it up. Turns out that that was quite convenient, because today this happened: Hybrid SLRs have been around for a while now, ever since the D90 came on the scene [...]
Simple
I want to explore “simple” in photographic terms. I spend so long thinking of interesting, intricate ideas – how to light this, where to stage that, what outfit the subject needs to wear – and I’m starting to forget the basic reason why I love doing what I do; capturing moments, feelings, glimpses of the [...]
