June 20, 2016 By Guest Poster 27 Comments

Heat Run_2

Photographing the humpback whales of Tonga has been on my personal bucket list for a number of years and finally in 2015 I got to spend nearly three weeks in Neiafu, the main town in the Vavu’a island group in the north of the archipelago, where the majority of the...

Photographing Birds in Flight

June 18, 2016 By Guest Poster 97 Comments

Bird in Flight (11)

In today’s digital photography age, most novice bird photographers are happy just capturing a bird portrait with their cameras. After a while, the natural progression is to try and capture some action shots of birds in flight, but that is where most avian photographers struggle. Why? The answer is quite...

June 16, 2016 By Nasim Mansurov 45 Comments

Death Valley NP (4)

Death Valley National Park is one of those rare places on this planet that does not cease to amaze every time you visit it. Thanks to its unusually dry weather conditions, cold winters and extremely hot summers, the park goes through a number of transformations throughout the year. And such...

Seeing Your Photos with a New Eye

June 15, 2016 By Spencer Cox 56 Comments

Tunnel View

The more you edit a particular photo, the more likely your eye is to grow weary of the changes that you make. Personally, after spending a few hours editing a single image, I begin to lose my ability to tell a good edit from a bad one – presenting a clear...

June 12, 2016 By Spencer Cox 46 Comments

Volcanic Rock

The transition from film to digital was one of the most dramatic shifts in the history of photography, and countless new techniques arose along the way. Everything from exposing to the right to the ability to review photos on-the-fly dramatically changed the photographic world. Of all these changes, though, one has...

California Dreaming

June 10, 2016 By André Berlinck 55 Comments

Yosemite - Half Dome

We were in the Marina of Santa Barbara and I was looking for a cheap restaurant. Then I spotted On The Alley and rushed to the place. The song California Dreaming (a hit of The Mamas & The Papas) was playing and the attendants were dancing animatedly. When they saw...

Yellowstone National Park (1)

I just got back from a trip to Yellowstone National Park to test out the Nikon D500, Nikon D5 and Pentax K-1 DSLRs (reviews to be posted soon) and I wanted to share my experience, specifically my frustrations with visiting and photographing this amazing location, which has been my top...

Postcards From The Isle of Wight

June 7, 2016 By Alpha Whiskey 17 Comments

1 The Needles

Not another postcard article, surely? Relax, it is in no way attempting to reach the calibre of the excellent recent articles on here. Just think of it as filler or a break from the technical stuff with some images that are merely intended to bring a place to you and to...

A Few Different Ways to Adjust Image Brightness

June 5, 2016 By John Bosley 49 Comments

Image with only white/black levels adjusted

A good looking image consists of many different things, most of which are subjective. In this article I want to briefly discuss one specific variable, which is image brightness. While I don't plan on going into much detail and getting very technical, I do want to show you how you...

June 4, 2016 By Spencer Cox 76 Comments

Nikon-Lineup

There are very few decisions in photography more personal than picking a set of lenses to use. With the incredible number of options available – no matter which brand of camera you use – it can seem impossible to find the right lenses for your needs. Personally, I have switched...
