For hundred photos of the same moment on the theory that one of them has to be usable, the same way you buy forty lottery tickets and call it a system. It is not elegant. It is not what the photography books recommend. But it works often enough that I’ve stopped…Read more

Some people overlook some of these items when looking at photography as a hobby. It can have great benefits on your overall health and well being. Do any of these resonate with you?

I am heading to Tahiti soon to spend time diving. New to diving and new to underwater photography. Has anyone done it and if so, tips, gear, pointers, ideas. Nervous.
