Send Your Photographic Spirits Flying: Aviation Photography, Made Easy
Moose Peterson  |  Aug 16, 2012  | 
Aviation photography is on the rise, literally and figuratively. There are many reasons for this, from the ease and small expense of getting involved to the excitement and subject matter. I think it’s also because it’s a way we can all get in touch with our own history.

Sense Of Scale, Length Of Lens: In Wildlife Photography, “Small” Can Have A Big Impact
Moose Peterson  |  Jun 13, 2013  | 

Filing the frame with the critter isn’t required for great wildlife photography. Reflecting on how I first slanted my wildlife photography in this direction, it has its roots in the first lens I had to shoot wildlife. I started with a Vivitar 400mm f/5.6 on an old Minolta that was soon replaced with a Nikon 400mm f/5.6 on an F2. That 400mm was my main lens for a long time and it taught me lessons about wildlife photography that I still depend on to this day.

Sharpen Your Image With Stabilized Lenses and Digital Cameras
Peter K. Burian  |  May 24, 2005  | 

As recently as 18 months ago, a built-in image stabilizer was a rarity in digital
cameras. It was available only in a couple of Panasonic models and one Konica
Minolta DiMAGE camera. Today, an increasing number of digicams -- from four
manufacturers -- employ some form of camera shake compensating device. And there's
even a digital SLR with a built-in Anti-Shake mechanism, the Maxxum 7D. We expect
this trend to continue with other manufacturers jumping on the bandwagon. "Sounds
great if you're into high-tech gizmos," you may be thinking, "but
is this feature really necessary?"

Shocking Colors =Maximum Drama: Surprising Combinations Can Dazzle The Eye
Jim Zuckerman  |  Nov 16, 2011  | 
Photographing subjects with outrageous combinations of colors is a lot of fun. As great as complementary colors are, and as pleasing as subtlety and mood are, there’s nothing quite like color combinations that virtually knock your eyeballs out of their sockets! Combinations like orange and lime green, deep purple and red, and orange and magenta are extremely potent in drawing attention. Sometimes these juxtapositions of color are found in nature (surprisingly enough) but often they can only be found in man-made objects. One of the reasons I love photographing festivals is because the costuming is frequently shocking and outlandish.

Shooting Crystals: All The Colors Of The Rainbow
Jim Zuckerman  |  Jan 22, 2013  | 
One of the more interesting projects I’ve explored in photography is shooting birefringent crystals. Birefringence is the splitting of a light ray by a crystal into two components that are at different velocities and are polarized at right angles to each other. What this means in terms of photography is that when light passes through the crystals, you can see rainbow colors in the unique and beautiful forms that make up the crystal.

Shooting Stars: Night Sky Tips & Techniques
Skye Hohmann  |  Oct 18, 2012  | 
On a clear, moonless night, far away from the glow of city lights, the universe opens up above me. Pinpricked with ancient points of light, the night is breathtaking. Lying on the ground and looking up at the sky on clear nights, it’s obvious that the universe is three dimensional. I’ve had moments of vertigo. I’ve had moments of awe. Our galaxy sweeps away in the bright clear arc of the Milky Way, so beautiful and complicated and ancient and unlikely that it makes my heart race. The sky is unforgettable.

Or, Why We Don't Review Digicams

by George Schaub

We have gotten some letters from readers asking why we don't normally
review integral lens digital cameras, or what we call digicams. One reason is
that they come and go so quickly. It's not unusual for a digicam to be
