Quick-tips
"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! :)
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.
Loosing photos is extremely unpleasant, and I am somewhat paranoid about it. Particularly as time goes on and I generate more and more photos, and more and more memories I do not want to loose.
So, from the shutter-click to long term off-site storage, this is my information flow and back-up process system.

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. Dr Vicki Fishlock gives her expert advice on elephants! :)
Shelley Lake is an extremely talented photographer (www.ShelleyLake.com), but more-over she is a Chiropractor! So when she posted tips for holding and shooting, we should all take note... Great images and no personal damage... Shelley, our backs thank you! :)
