In a previous post here, I presented the wave photography done by Warren Keelan and Rachael Talibart. Since this is still a very attractive subject, and while I found some more aboutit, I want to share a couple of links with you. The Art of Waves: A Lifetime of Awe-Inspiring Surf Photographs talks about the…
encontrer dans l’hémisphère nord. L’une de ses sous-espèces les plus menacées est le lynx ibérique dont le nom rappelle qu’il ne se rencontre qu’en Espagne et au Portugal. Très menacé et très protégé, il est parfois possible de le trouver en images (le photographe a intérêt à se montrer discret et patient). Par exemple, il…
Sometimes, I see a few photos that are really astonishing. Today, I would like to share the work of two photographers who have impressed me with subjects which may appear easy: Waves. However, both of them did a great job of showing them in ways that make them shine. Warren Keelan You should visit his website, Instagram, Facebook, 500px,…

One little idea to progress in our mastering of the photographic technique: Take a photo challenge like “52 photos in 52 weeks”. There are many of them, but I looked at one of the most famous ones: The Dogwood 52 Week Photography Challenge. Major advantage: It does not concentrate on the technical side of photographic…
My best photographic wishes for 2019!
If you consider buying an expensive lens like the $12,000 Nikon 180-400mm f/4 TC 1.4, you will find useful to read actual field tests (and not only the usual read-the-specs reviews that most web sites will provide). So, I found to welcome field tests that I’d like to recommend: Petapixel’s A Field Test of the…
You may not have noticed it but European Regulations recently required some significant changes on web sites, in order to make sure that they are respectful of their visitors and -even more importantly- of the privacy of their data. Our web site has been adapting since a few weeks with a few nice changes, including:…
We are handling so many memory cards and USB thumb drives that it is often quite unpleasant to recognize them all. Sometimes, because it is difficult to find them in the photographer bag, sometimes because all these look alike when plugged into our computers. wouldn’t it be great if we had a simple way to…
Good news: Finally, free Darktable editing software arrives on Windows to compete with Adobe Lightroom.
Telephoto tip: If you add enough converters and extenders, you don’t actually need a fancy lens. The original appeared on https://xkcd.com/1855/ (a web site perfectly suited to geeks, photographers or not).
The most recent idea of air transport: Worried about the risk induced by a battery when it is heated or if it short-circuit itself out of nothing more than thin air, some airline companies (e.g. Air India) had already imposed a rule prohibiting all batteries from checked luggage (you had to put them in cabin…
In the past, I did some recommendations about backups. Today, I insist on the criticity for the digital photographer to keep her eyes on this operation (who did not discovere with horror that some files had disappeard from the hard disk drive?). But this now becomes a central question after CrashPlan announced the end of…
Sometimes, one wonders whether it is still necessary to repeat it, but it is important (No! critical) to backup digital data as soon as we approach our first computer. Worse, for a (digital) photographer, it’s now critical. Don’t we all have lost already one or more images because of a hard disk crash, a capricious…
My personal prophylactics in order to avoid loosing memory cards and photos on memory cards: Always format the memory card in-camera (formatting on a computer may not be right for your camera, same thing about formatting on another camera) Always wait 3 seconds before ejecting the memroy card (or check the red LED flashing on…
A photo contest I particularly like, the Epson Pano Award, just released its list of 2016 winners. You will find superb images,: In panoramic format (sometimes, even vertical ones), avec a clear taste for abstraction (it’s more than OK with me), and a notable attention to Architecture and Nature (no contradiction here, you’ll see). Go and…
One of the most attracting features of the Adobe Photoshop CC suite of photographic tools is its image management tool which allows sorting, ordering, labeling and most important -to my eyes- comparing several pictures in order to choose the best one. Yes, I have the (bad?) habit of shooting in rapid fire when I’m photographing wildlife, but…
Travelling for photography is an activity loaded with stresses and constraints of all kinds. Much more so than if you merely go and shoot street photography downtown. All the more if this includes at least one flight to destination. Pros and those who did suffer a lot from these situations collected enough experience to build…

It seems that this question will always be there to haunt photographers (enthiusiasts and pros as well as mere amateurs). You should believe that the answer is complicated and prone to errors. Or that the issues are so thorny that nobody can answer. Again this month, I walked by a pro photographer on a mission…
