The CFV 100C has a unique solution when hitched to the included 907X camera body. The combination of this, the CFV 100C and the newer tiny (ish) ‘V’ and ‘P’ lenses makes for a very compact and incredibly portable system. more
After starting with film and moving to digital for its convenience, Przemyslaw has come full circle—now embracing both formats to harness the distinct mood, colour, and character each brings to an image. more

The viewer’s eye is drawn to a solitary water lily in the lower right corner of the image. It is then guided horizontally toward the bright grass on the left and follows a gentle upward path toward the water lily leaves, which are thoughtfully distributed across the lower branch silhouette. more
Breaking waves are usually not that spectacular from straight up in my opinion. It is often worthwhile, though, when a wave engulfs a rock slab, which can look very graphic from the air. more
Torsten Pull’s work is a reflection of his journey—one that intertwines methodical planning with the spontaneity of light, solitude with exploration, and a return to the natural world that once defined his childhood. more
After reading the poem in more depth, I revisited places mentioned in the text to try and understand what Steve was writing about, but also to try and understand what I felt about the places with this new narrative to work with. more
There are now so many images of trees as a sub-genre of landscape photography that it could be argued that they have become a little boring. more

When I look at the Awakening Dragon, I might or might not know anything about where and when the photo was taken, what Alister had in mind, what mood he was in, or what was going on in his life. It doesn't matter to me as a viewer. more

Once the proposal was accepted, I began further research on global warming, sea level rise and saltwater intrusion. more
