Living in The Netherlands has one big downside to it…rain…rain and more rain.
Often I do not want to go out and shoot anything when it’s raining again like many of you will recognise. But lately I have been trying to take advantage of the bad weather by going out and hoping to shoot...

Copyright infringement is much too common these days. To reap the big statutory rewards (of at least $750 and up to $150,000 for willful infringements, plus costs and attorneys’ fees) from prosecuting infringements, you must have registered your photograph with the U.S. Copyright Office pr...
A virtual chorus of camera shutters sound as I lay on a boardwalk over a marsh. Just a few feet away, nearly twenty wood ducks are feeding, bathing, and fighting. The photographers start taking off their large lenses in favor of short lenses and even wide angles. Freshly molted out of their ecli...
July and August are my least favorite months of the year for photographing. The light is high for much of the day, the greens of the forests aren’t vivid, streams turn to trickles, and the variety of colorful wildflowers in my region dwindle to only a few. So what is there to do?
Making panoramas using digital cameras and stitching software can be daunting to the uninitiated. This is because a number of steps must be performed correctly and in the proper sequence for the panorama to be successful. My goal here is to share with you my experience in making panoramas (or &#...
While photographing the breeding cycle of Common Terns on a local lake during 2005 I discovered that none of the hatched chicks survived to fledge. As this did not bode well for the survival of the colony, I decided to see what could be done for the following season.

Inkjet printers have made significant progress over the last few years: contrast is higher, colors are more saturated, and print longevity is better than ever. On the other hand, finding all the right settings to make a great print can be an exercise in frustration. At times, the world of inkjet...
It was January 2006 and I had a foolishly wonderful idea. Fortunately enough, I had an equally foolish and wonderful best friend who was just crazy enough to go along with it.

Editor’s Note: The introduction of the Canon EOS 1D Mark III was eagerly anticipated by nature photographers, but the initial release of cameras to the market revealed some difficulties finding the right settings to maximize auto focus performance for wildlife photography. Birds in fligh...
Marketing is easily the most befuddling aspect of the photography business that people just can’t seem to get. Whether art directors who might hire you, ad agencies who license your photos, or art buyers who buy your prints, how to get noticed by clients is the holy grail to building a suc...
I have taken many, many trips with my beat up, inexpensive rolling carry on. It’s been stuffed into overhead compartments, placed under the seat in front of me, and gate-checked on regional jets.
