In Part I of this video we looked at the 4 things all great photos have in common. In Part II I analyze my own photography to see what’s missing in each case and how I can improve each shot. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Howdy! I’m Josh Cripps, head photo nerd here at Pro Photo Tips. I discovered nature photography in late 2006 and was instantly and irreversibly hooked. Somewhere along the way I discovered that I love teaching other photographers all the little tips, tricks, and chunks of knowledge I’ve learned over the years. And while I do love teaching workshops, in 2014 I decided I wanted to reach more photographers, and to help photographers around the world improve their skills. I recorded a few videos for YouTube and before…

Mark was born in Sydney, Australia. A child of the eighties, his beach-side upbringing saw him photographing friends surfing, which led to a career in photography. Starting out at Australia’s biggest magazine publisher, the creative buzz of London soon proved irresistible. He left the surfboard behind, relocated to the UK and quickly established himself as a multi award winning photographer. Now dividing his time between London, Los Angeles and Sydney, Mark’s commissions take him around the globe. Photographic Speciality/Style: Cars advertising and landscape photography Short Bio: I was awarded a cadetship as a photographer straight out of school with Australia’s largest magazine publisher, Australian Consolidated Press or ACP which is now Bauer Media.

We’ve all heard the fairy tale about the magic lamp. If you find yourself in the desert and you happen to come across a lamp, you should rub it. If it’s a magic lamp, a genie will come out and grant you three wishes. With that tale in mind, it makes sense that Syrp decided to name their motion-control product “Genie,” since it can grant three wishes that many photographers have: 1) to be able to smoothly pan a camera up and down or from side to side; 2) to be able to move a camera along a line, and 3) to do the first two wishes in a package that’s compact and reasonably priced. And yes, I know that number 3 isn’t a different function, but when dealing with…

Camera gear is expensive! But actually we often don’t need to buy the latest and greatest cameras and lenses. There’s a whole second hand market out there, giving buyers the option to pick up good quality gear for a much smaller price. Photographers often sell equipment because they’re looking to upgrade, switch systems or minimise the amount of equipment they own meaning that there are real bargains to be had. But how do you go about finding the perfect second hand camera or lens? In this guide, I’ll show you what to look for so that you end up with a perfect result. GENERAL GUIDELINES Buy from a reputable source Even if you’re buying second hand, you’re still going to be spending a considerable amount of money so it’s important…

For 17 days I traveled solo around the entire island of Iceland, shooting almost 24 hours a day, sleeping in the car, and eating whenever I had the time. During my days shooting this film I shot 38,000 images, traveled some 2900 miles, and saw some of the most amazing, beautiful, and indescribable landscapes on the planet. Iceland is absolutely one of the most beautiful and unusual places you could ever imagine. Especially during the Midnight Sun when the quality of light hitting the landscape is very unusual, and very spectacular. Iceland is a landscape photographers paradise and playground, and should be number 1 on every photographers must visit list. Iceland during the Midnight Sun is in sort of a permanent state of sunset. The sun never fully sets and…

CLOSE TO THE HEAVEN By: Arpan Das Location: Dolomites, Italy Portfolio WE ASKED ARPAN TO TELL US A BIT ABOUT HIMSELF… “I am an Astrophysics research student by profession. Astrophysics is everything for me, I don’t love anything more than I love the mystery of our Universe, though I have great passion for other things in life. Exploring the wilderness and landscape photography are two of my favorite things to do and they combine very well with my study of Astrophysics. I love to be in nature, especially far from the human made “concrete jungle”. Big mountains, vast sea and starry nights are my favourite things to capture. I enjoy shooting during sunrise, sunset and night. So far I am enjoying landscape and astrophotography a lot and I don’t think…
