Greetings Photogs,
Do you think that photographs tell secrets? Perhaps revealing them by stopping motion in a world that is constantly moving. I do. Every image reveals a secret of some type.
I’m happy to share that tripods are great for keeping your files crisp, but that comes with a big caveat: Placing your camera on a tripod and firing off normal shots will not yield sharp images. Instead, you must carefully adjust your tripod, settings, and accessories to maximize sharpness, as discussed in this article. TAKE A LOOK →

It’s these longer shutter speeds that allow us to achieve long exposures. But what is long-exposure photography, and when would you use it? Find out here. TAKE A LOOK →
Do you fully understand how color can affect your photographs? Do you wonder why some photographs make you feel incredibly emotional? Or perhaps why a particular photograph fills you with a profound and indescribable happiness? Using color with intent is a fine line, and when crossed, your color images just look amateurish.
