I've been looking at some really nice buildings lately, one more stately and opulent than the other. But although the rooms where the rich owners used to live are very impressive, I rather like the cellars - you can have barrels of fun there with a camera! :P (Or an iPhone, in this case...)

You would be surprised at where you can find a abstract made by nature. I found these abstracts (click blue writing to find more photographs natural abstracts ) while out walking with my Dog. they are all captured in frozen muddy puddles. the ice and mud produced a natural abstract with some pre...

When I was a little girl, about eleven at the time I was given a camera by my Mum. It was a Kodak Pocket Camera. This particular day, we were in Boots the chemist and I must have been cooing over it…You should of seen my face I was as a happy as can be when Mum handed it to me. As soon as I could ...

I temporarily have two phones - I still use my Nokia E71, for which the contract hasn't run out yet (it will soon, though), and my new phone has already arrived, a brand new iPhone 4s. And of course I've started trying out some apps on it, I couldn't resist. I thought I'd start with some free app...

I took another walk in the woods today - there was more light than last time, and I thought taking both my camera and my dog out might be a good combination. :-) And indeed, the light through the trees and on the autumn leaves was great, there were plenty mushrooms around, lots of things to shoot...

A quick snap of my web cam I got fixed up to start testing hangout style options for future epz connectivity. I was also playing with a 50mm f/1.4 lens at full aperture. More of this type to come. I processed in Lightroom and gave it the B&W creative Selenium tone preset It reminds me of so...

Photography Lense Choices By BadSoulPhotography How to choose a camera lense Buying a lense for a camera can be an expensive purchase, so you want to buy what you need... Where to start? Start by asking yourself "what type of photography will you specialize in". Will you be doing port...

Despite believing that photography is all about the pictures we create rather than the tools we use, there is no escaping the fact that many photographers enjoy a relationship with their tools which is very different to that which a plumber or car mechanic enjoys with theirs. Those of you who hav...

After an extended and unplanned period of employment in areas removed from my chosen career path, and bouts of unemployment, I have finally made my way back to working within the IT industry. It has been a journey of seven years and, understandably, has not been without complications. On discussing ...

The English language is thing of great beauty and versatility. Nowhere can this be illustrated more acutely than in the world of “professional cameras”. Amongst the gear heads and equipment tarts found lurking in the dark recesses of many camera clubs and internet chat rooms, the “professional camer...

A day won’t go by on the forums without somebody posing a “What camera should I buy” question. People easily get caught up with different models when choosing a camera. By and large, cameras at similar price points have equally similar specifications, with little to differentiate them. So think a...

Form and function. The form factor of many every day items is determined by their function. Because the end use rarely changes, often it is only when the components used in their construction evolve that we see any real paradigm shift in design. Some things never change, because the design has reach...

I remember when I started on my photographic journey, slavishly reading books, magazines and brochures and noticing strange little numbers and letters under some of the fabulous images before me. You’ve probably seen them yourself. 1/250 @ f8 or 1/60 @ f22. Sometimes, the exposure data was supplemen...
