As the end of the year closes I thought it might be fun to look back on the year from the perspective of what cameras and photography ‘gear’ we bought. Did something new end up in your camera bag in 2011? Perhaps a new camera? A new Lens? Some other kind of accessory? My own [...]
This week your photography challenge is all about trying out the Christmas Lights Bokeh tutorial that we ran earlier in the week for yourself. That tutorial has been spread across the web like crazy this week and I know a lot of our readers are trying it out – so show us what you’ve come [...]

This week your photographic challenge is to take and share a photo on the theme of ‘Smile’. Feel free to interpret the theme as you wish – you might take a portrait of someone smiling or perhaps you’ll take a photo that makes those who view it smile. It’s totally up to you. Once you’ve [...]
