Water reflection shots have the most impact if the water has a still, glassy surface.But that stillness doesn’t come at just any time of day.The chances are better for still waters in the early morning, such as at sunrise.

Here's just something about a water reflection photo that I really enjoy.I can't decide if it's the calmness of it or the symmetry. Maybe it's both!But snagging photos like the one above is a little more involved than pointing and shooting at a calm body of water (though those are important steps).I...

Though this bag was designed for urban adventures, I’ve found that it’s great for my adventures out in the great wild landscapes.It was designed specifically for mirrorless cameras, which is great for me since I shoot with a Sony a6300.

I love shooting landscapes.I don't, however, love how the weather and terrain can wreak havoc on my gear (and me too!).That's why I've built up a collection of pretty awesome gear over the years that's durable, functional, and helps me get the job done faster and more comfortably.What are my favorit...

To get creative with your cityscape photos is to try different focal length lenses.Typically, cityscapes are photographed with a standard lens.

Living in L.A., the most frequent landscapes I see are of the urban variety.And though driving along the 405 doesn't afford me the same views as someone driving through Yosemite, there is still something to appreciate about the concrete jungle.The lines, textures, colors, and lights of the city are....

The key to a great sunrise photo is the sun, so you’ll need to get familiar with its behavior before you actually head out and start taking photos.

Ask any landscape photographer, and they'll tell you that some of the most dramatic scenes they've ever photographed have occurred at sunrise.But simply getting up early and being ready to go with your camera setup when the sun peeks over the horizon isn't good enough to capitalize on some of the be...

All that foreground detail in a wide-angle shot, it’s imperative that you take the time to compose the image to maximize the impact of the elements within the frame.

There are few couples as great as a wide-angle lens and a landscape.After all, that's why most landscape photographers have at least one wide-angle lens in their bag.Actually, I'd say most landscape photographers have at least one wide-angle prime as well as a zoom lens that's capable of a wide-angl...

Simply attach the polarizer to the end of your lens and then rotate the polarizer in its housing to achieve the desired effect.

You see epic photos of landscapes online and in magazines and wish that your photos had the same kind of impact.The problem is, you don't know where to begin regarding how to add drama to your landscape photos.Granted, creating an image that has tons of visual impact requires a lot of moving parts,....

In the Supra, that power goes to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission – there’s no manual version thus far. Toyota claims the GR Supra will hit 62mph in 4.3 seconds.

Powering the S7 is the 3.0-litre V6 shared with the new S6 and SQ5 – ostensibly the same unit as you’ll find in Audi cars badged 50 TDI, albeit with reinforcements to the pistons, crank, cylinder and cooling, plus a more powerful oil pump and injectors.
