One camera setting that ruins your pictures
(and more, keep reading):
Among our users, we have some of the most talented photographers in
the world share advice that you won't find even in the most expensive
subscription magazines. That's because some of them only post on our
website, so you won't find this information anywhere else! Some of them
post under an alias, others disclose their studio name, it's up to them.
But in either case you get to read and discover photography techniques
that will make you very good at taking pictures.
Unlike other websites, we don't try to pitch DSLRs, lenses, and other gear while collecting sales commission. We don't sell photography tutorials, books, videos and courses while promising that your photography will improve only if you buy what's being promoted. We promise that your photography will get better without you ever having to pay us a penny. Knowledge is supposed to be free.
Instead, our users, who are professional photographers and serious amateurs, some with decades of experience, will share with you what they learned, what gear they use, which products really work and which are useless, which techniques work and which don't.
It's all completely unbiased. Our users simply have no reason to lie to you. They are people just like you.
And we provide a free website for you to read about what exactly made them really good at taking pictures. So you get to discover this information straight from the source, from people just like you, not from editors of some magazine or sales reps of some company. It's what makes us different from other photography websites out there that try to sell you something while claiming they are trying to help you.
Discovering what our other users have to share will help you figure out which gear to use and how to use your existing gear to its fullest potential. So it doesn't matter if you are only thinking of which camera to buy or if you already have all your equipment -- you'll still find plenty of solid advice for any situation.
• We cater to beginners, intermediate, advanced, and professional photographers. It doesn't matter whether you are just getting into photography or you have decades of experience -- you'll still find plenty on our website that will interest you because we cover all bases. We make it all simple for the newbies, yet interesting for professionals who've shot hundreds of gigs and would gladly be reminded of things they once knew but forgot. So no matter what your expertise level is -- keep reading below.
• We cover both film and digital photography.
• We talk about professional DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, mid-range/prosumer models, point-and-shoot, and even camera phones. Because as they say: the best camera is the one you have with you. So it doesn't matter if you shoot with an iPhone or with the biggest, bulkiest, newest, most expensive DSLR with an array of light modifiers. You need to know how to take great pictures with whatever you have on you right now, while the shot is still there, not later when you get you gear out, yet the opportunity to take the the picture is long gone.
• We cover all types of photography from portraits to landscapes to weddings and events to action shots to macro photography. (Which one interests you the most? Stop and ask yourself right now. You'll need to be able to answer that in just a minute. No matter what you shoot, you'll get better at just that. Read below to find out why.)
• We cover all aspects of photography from picking gear to composition to working with models to handling strangers in street photography, and everything in between. If you are lacking in some aspect, you'll improve. If you are a total newbie, you'll learn it all.
• You'll be receiving new tips and techniques on how to take the kind of pictures that will make your friends, relatives and peers just stare in amazement, speechless, when they see your work. Yep! That's how good your photography will become. Trust me, I know the feeling. And you'll know it too. People telling you "oh wow, it's like in the magazines" when seeing your pictures. (Surprisingly, the most common response you hear from people once you get really good at taking pictures is "it's like in the magazines". Not Instagram/Facebook/Snapchat feed or whatever, but quality magazine. That's the first association that comes to their mind. The mark of a true professional, even if you are an amateur and do this just for fun. I love it when people say that while looking at my pictures, even when they are looking at my pictures on a screen. Oh, the irony! Just imagine that feeling. Pretty soon, they will be saying that to you.)
• You'll be receiving our photography digest with tips, tricks, reviews and discussions that you won't see anywhere else. All original content. Only posted on our website, as explained above. Most of what you read on our site is only posted here -- not the same old and tired copied and re-copied "tutorials" of people who claim to be "professionals" which seem to be flooding all the photography sites out there.
• If you ever have a question or need help, you can always ask, and we'll cover your question in the following digest issue.
• And of course, it's all completely FREE!
• Let me repeat that. Since for some reason a lot of people contact us asking if the membership is really free: we are a social website for photographers, so we don't sell anything, and we don't charge any fees. It's as simple as that.
Here is how to proceed and what to expect:
The signup process is completely automated, so you are just a few minutes away from discovering what our existing users already received earlier today. You'll get up to speed right away on what's the latest on our website, without any long introductions or other delays.
And if you don't like what you are reading, you can always unsubscribe. Just like subscribing, the unsubscribing is done automatically instantly. So you have nothing to lose by checking out our digest.

Here are just some of the things we talk about:
(see if something in particular interests you, as you will learn this today)
- How to make almost anyone
look great when taking their portrait. Regardless of facial features,
type of face and hair. (A few tricks to position the light and the angle
of your camera that work on 95% of people.)
- Is there a better way to compose than the "rule of thirds?"
- One simple technique that
allows you to use your flash in a way that makes your pictures look as
if flash wasn't used at all. (The opposite of deer-in-headlights
amateurish pictures you would normally get when using flash.) So if you
hate using flash because it makes your pictures look bad, then you
really need to learn this.
- Which camera brand (Canon,
Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus, etc.) has the best sensor and the best
electronics? We cover this in great detail through discussion with real
photographers who speak from experience, not just dry tech specs. (The
answer will definitely surprise you.)
- How to make HDR pictures
without them looking either soft (with no contrast what so ever) or
over-saturated to the point of looking like a cartoon?
- How to make sure pictures taken indoors and without flash aren't blurred.
- How to make money off of your photography no matter where you are located?
- Which camera gear is right for your specific needs.
- Buying a fast prime lens vs. buying an external flash unit -- which is a better upgrade?
- How to take a giant shot
of the moon (or some other distant source) while keeping your foreground
subjects sharp. Imagine a picture where the moon fills the entire
frame, yet the silhouettes of people and trees and other objects in the
foreground are crisp and clear. Can you do that now? Would you like to
learn how? Keep reading.
- Is good "glass" always more important than expensive "body"? (you would be surprised!)
- How to reduce camera shake without using a tripod.
- How to make those
beautiful blurred backgrounds (bokeh) you see in professional photos
while keeping your subject entirely perfectly crisp. Not just the eyes
or the ears with having to choose due to shallow depth of field, but the
entire subject.
- Which cameras have the best performance in low light situations?
- Are macro lenses better for regular photography than regular glass? Curvature of the focal plane actually matters.
- Is it generally better to increase ISO or to lower shutter speed? (for non-action shots)
- And much more. Way too much to list it all here.
