As a landscape photographer I’m a big fan of grand vistas and photographing with wide angle lenses. But sometimes the smaller things can be just as impressive. In this article I’ll be giving 10 tips to hopefully give you some inspiration when photographing abstracts. And when you start to see them, you can’t stop photographing them. It’s very addicting! 1. Look down. We tend to look forward and see the bigger picture. But beauty is often just at our feet. Go low to the ground

I am currently organising a forest photography contest with Sony Netherlands. Submit your best autumn photo and tag #sonyherfst to win a Sony A6400. You can join with any picture taken with any camera! Here are 5 tips to get your started. 1. Find a calm scene in the chaotic forest. When you photograph a forest for the first time your impressions can be overwhelming and chaotic. A lot of things are happening. Try to find peace in all the chaos around you. Make it easy for your

I recently used a so called ‘geared head’ more and more and noticed that a lot of people actually don’t know these kinds of tripod heads. That’s why I decided to write a small article about it to show the advantages (and disadvantages) of a geared tripod head. So what’s a geared head exactly? A geared tripod head is a head that can carefully and precisely be adjusted through (you guessed it) gears. By using 3 knobs you can control the pan, tilt and yaw. Using the Benro GD3WH

People that know me know I love to shoot with extreme wide angles. Lately I have been experimenting with shooting at 10mm full frame. Shooting at 10mm is like shooting in another world. Because of the distortion on on the edges you automatically get an effect that kind of sucks you into the image. Foreground elements get extremely big, and clouds in the sky automatically point to the center. This is not for everyone, but I love using this distortion to my advantage. I shot a

In this article I'll explain my workflow as a landscape photographer regarding the handling of my storage and backup.

This article is meant to improve your landscape photography. It's aimed at both amateurs and advanced levels.

Hey everyone! I’m back here with another straight forward guide on how to get something more out of your waterfall shots. The idea to this guide came to me when I recently visited Iceland again and kept seeing everyone taking the same shots at the famous waterfalls. Even the ‘professional’ photographers with very expensive give were just planting their tripod in the ground, putting on a wide angle with an ND filter and were all taking the same shots. Granted, the waterfalls i

Photographing the sea and the waves can be both challenging and fun. People often ask me what are ‘the right settings’ to shoot moving water so I decided to write a little guide on it. There are many options depending on what look you’re going for. By using some examples of my own I’ll explain how I shoot my seascapes. I usually define 3 options: Shooting the sea normally with a very fast shutter speed (not going to discuss it in this article as it’s just pressing the shutter

Throughout the years I noticed that I visit the same locations around my house many times to see how they would look during different seasons and different times of day. Sometimes the area where you live would not be motivating to photograph because you see these things everyday. However, when I started photography I began to see the world (and my home area) in a different way. I started to look for compositions everywhere and I now have a bunch of spots that I'd like to revi

You know these shots with silky smooth water and brushed out skies right? These are mostly made with ND filters to increase exposure time. However, if you have a Sony camera these are very easy to make without using any filters. Sony has a neat little app for their Sony Alpha cameras that is called ‘Smooth Reflections’. This creates a similar effect of a long exposure by stacking a lot of photographs taken with a 1-second interval together. It stacks all of the shots in a sin

I usually don't promote a lot of photography software and tutorials but I couldn't let this one slide. The 5DayDeal bundle is a bundle worth 2730$ that is for sale for 97$. The sale only lasts 5 days hence the name. Why am I promoting this bundle? 5 Things: - First of all, I met the owner of the promotion in Busan earlier this year and I can honestly say that Griffin is just an overall great guy! - People ask me questions about photography and processing everyday.
