The other day I was doing product photos when I realized something that I did well. I learn from every single photograph that I take.

So You’re Looking to Buy a DSLR, Eh?
As DSLRs become more affordable, more people are rushing to their local camera store and picking up their very own camera to try their hand at photography. I’m being asked more each day, “what camera is best for (insert price here)” and “I’m going to get a camera this week, what do you recommend?” Although you would think that I could spit out an answer without thinking about it too much, I wouldn’t feel right doing that.

After asking a few people for their opinion on a theme, I have decided it will be sunrises and sunsets. With the help of my girlfriend, we narrowed down all of my sunrise and sunset photographs down to the 12 best in our opinion. Here are the results: Continue reading
