Cloudy Day? Perfect for photography!

Many travelers seem to live by this mantra – however most sunset and sunrise photographs that I see are quite disappointing.
They need not be – sunsets and sunrises are not that difficult to photograph!

Exposure Techniques

Shoot at a variety of exposures
Sunset Tip #1. Underexpose.  This is the most important tip for taking pictures of sunsets. You can underexpose by using manual mode and selecting a fast shutter speed, or you can shoot in aperture priority and use exposure compensation.

Sunset Tip #2. Find the foreground first. Just find something interesting to put in the foreground to add depth to the scene.
Manual Focus

Sunset Tip #3.  Shoot in aperture priority with exposure compensation while the sun is still in the sky, and then switch to manual once the sun dips below the horizon. In low light settings, the exposure meter on your camera will often be innaccurate, so manual mode after sunset is the best option.
Sunset  Tip #4.  Stay longer.  The sky will usually light up with color again about 25 minutes after the sun dips below the horizon.  Most photographers miss this second sunset, and it's more beautiful than the first most of the time!

What is Macro Photography? First, an explanatory note for all those with a modicum of photo history and tech basics: the term macro used to refer to the capture of an insect or whatever, that resulted in an image on the 35mm film frame (24x36mm) that ranged from 1:10 to 1:1 the size of the original subject. For its part, the term micro referred to a film image that was larger than 1:1 life size; micro photography could easily give you a 35mm film image of an ant that was itself larger than the original ant. Tips for macro photography 1. Choose the Best Lens. -A 50-60mm lens is suitable for general macro work but if you want greater subject-to-lens distance a 100mm lens will give you this at a price. ...

PHONE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY They say that black and white photography captures emotions, adds drama and depth. If you want to add a range of wonderful black and white photography portraits to your portfolio take a look at these tutorials and learn how to create stunning black and white portrait photographs. 1. start with Black and White in mind. For  many photographers, black and white is more than a creative choice at the post-production stage; it’s a mindset.
