Photography
Capturing the perfect shot at the ideal moment with the right gear and perception can transform a regular shot into something utterly breathtaking. Whether you are taking portraits or shooting outside in the wilds, we have a ton of guides and materials to make every picture worth a thousand words.
Street photography is the art of capturing candid, unmediated chance encounters and moments in everyday life. There are a number of approaches to this genre, from the fly on the wall to the Bruce Gilden style of getting in someone’s face with a camera and speedlight. Whatever your personal feelings on the matter, there’s no wrong way to do it.
It is probably safe to say that many of us photographers have, either with our cameras or smartphones, tried to capture a close-up image of an insect, flower, toy, or other object. We have an idea of what we want this photograph to look like as we prepare to capture the image. We've seen and admired beautiful close-up images before but, when we nose the camera lens up to the object, we see nothing but a blur—the lens can't focus close enough to create the image we want to capture. Fewer things in photography can be as frustrating as trying to get a close-up photograph of something inside a lens's minimum focus distance. If you're familiar with the aforementioned struggle, it may be time to learn more about the world of macro photography.
