After the lengthy piece earlier this week on triathlon photography, I thought I’d cover some more sports shooting ground with some of the better general articles I found doing that research. We’ll get some sage advice from very experienced and accomplished photographers, look at how we can set our entry-level equipment up to best meet […]

Photography This Week: City Tourism Photography
Much of my photography happens in cities. I live in a pretty big one, and frequently travel to cities for both work and personal activities. There’s some really special stuff you can capture in a densely-packed, brightly lit metropolis with the proper techniques and approaches. Take care to note that there’s a focus on exposure […]
Photography This Week: Opening Day Edition
In celebration of baseball season, let’s take a look this week at a bunch of different perspectives on grabbing images at the game. Despite going to as many as 30 Washington Nationals games each year, I rarely bring any camera gear because how restrictive major league parks can be. The below items largely focus on […]
Photography This Week: Spring Finally Freakin’ Springs
With spring finally deciding it’ll amble on through the door here, I suspect we’ll all be planning on snapping a bit more. We start off with some general tips, cover some creative poses for engagement season (somehow I feel like this is one of those things where the client isn’t tired of the same old poses, it’s […]
Photography This Week: Deep Dive Edition
Since we took a look at my top three tips earlier in the week in a short post, I thought it’d be helpful to add some context to those. We get a little bit smarter about how light works at the golden hour, improve our framing and avoid some of the most common mistakes. Breathtaking […]
Photography This Week: Productivity Edition
Been a lot on here lately about being productive, and I suspect we’ll see more of that content in the future, so this week, let’s look at some advice on how to stay productive as a freelance photographer. There’s some great advice about scheduling, tips for maintaining focus and insight into managing your energy level […]
Photography This Week: Travel Photography Edition
In an effort to pretend the ground outside isn’t covered in a sheet of ice (it is), we’re going to go ahead and look at some travel photography best practices. Most of us probably don’t have trips planned at this time of the year, but we know they’re upcoming, and since we’re all very good […]
Photography This Week: If You Can’t Beat ‘Em…
This is what capitulation looks like. I give up–the cold weather and snow has utterly defeated me. Since it will never go away, let’s look at some ways to plan for and get better pictures in those blinding and exposure-destroying white, frozen, cruel landscapes. The second two articles have similar messages, but the last focuses […]
Photography this Week: Mirrorless Edition
In keeping with the theme, we’ll take a look at some of the mirrorless camera advice that can be found around the web. I’m stubbornly sticking with my DSLR, but there’s certainly a whole new mirrorless world developing out there. The good thing about that is that it’ll (hopefully) force Canon and Nikon to innovate […]
Photography This Week: Astrophotography
If you’ve noticed a theme of late, you’re not wrong. I think I’m attracted to astrophotography partly because opportunities are so rare. I live in a dense, highly-built-up neighborhood of Washington, DC, so honing my night photography skills is not something I can do regularly. In any case, along with the profiles of my efforts, […]
