A very good friend of mine reminded me of a great post I had shared last year about the Seven Habits of an Effective Photographer. Since we’re on the path of rediscovery, this is a post well worth a second read. Even though I might have written it, […]
It was yet another rainy day again today and high winds were predicted to follow the rain bands as they passed. It’s been a while that I’ve wanted to work on some slow exposures over 30 seconds with a 10-stop Neutral Density filter but the skies just weren’t […]
