Garret’s busy with his 20D this week. He’s taking portraits, something I’d like to do more off, luckily, here’s some tutorials to get me started.

On a foggy day familiar things looks strange. I love the stark contrast between black and white on days such as these and especially by a body of water the difference is very pronounced!
I came across the site PhotoJournalism by Mark Hancock several days ago and this afternoon read a few of his posts. He offers some great advice and writes well on the subject of photography, here’s a few of his recent works:

What does one do on a freezing cold night? Go out with a tripod and take photos of trees!
I took this photo a week ago during a cold snap in the weather. I assembled my tripod on the corner of the street near my home and set it up for a 20 second exposure. Half way through the shot a man, his son and their dog passed. I *knew* something was going to happen and I was right. The dog’s lead got caught in the legs of the tripod but I had a good grip of it so the camera didn’t go flying out onto the road!
There was some movement and those squiggles across the picture are the result. I like it! 🙂
First time I came across this competition. Here are the winning images of the 59th College Photographer of the Year! Good stuff all round!
As seen elsewhere, AnandTech have started a series of photography tutorials on their site. The first one looks good!
If you like cats go look at these kitten photos. If you hate ’em, stay well clear!
