Track Cycling very often has restricted access … To separate the subject from the background is a conflict – open the aperture for shallow depth of field, and that will speed up the shutter and freeze the action, I therefore chose to pan in order to blur the background (that otherwise would have been in focus) and also needed to show movement…Read More

This is a very simple, yet effective portrait, complemented by the fitting directional lighting that suits your subject well. I hope you captured a series of varied expressions. What light shaper did you employ for your key light? Next time, do remember to include more details about your lighting setup.

He conjures up the image of a red number 8 on the back of a rabbit in a cage. And, according to the King, each person will conjure up…Read More

Thank you for sharing, Jako, and for taking the time to contribute to our Photo Digest. Interestingly, we’ve already featured “Pepper No. 30” in the Fine Art Group, but we find your write-up more engaging.

Always a pleasure! Completely forgot about the post in Fine Art. My apologies. I discussed the pepper with my colleagues, and it sort of stuck, and ended up in this post. 🙂

Excellent work, Edward. You are telling us such a beautiful story here—perfect exposure, sharp as it gets, with a beautiful background. You played the waiting game with this Masked Weaver and got precisely what you hoped for: the two big, hungry mouths to feed in the nest. Congratulations!

I love the dynamism of this shot, but I personally think that removing the backdrop detracts from its impact. To me, it starts to resemble a digital effect, and while it may appeal to many, I feel it transforms a fairly good natural image into something akin to digital art. In my view, it would have been the perfect shot if the zebra behind the…Read More

Danie covered panning briefly in his Basic Photography Class on Saturday, emphasising its importance for sports or wildlife photographers in selecting the appropriate shutter speeds for their subjects. This image of a track cycling event by Glen, taken at 1/160th of a second, demonstrates an excellent panning technique.
