How do I protect my camera from the cold?
It is rapidly getting rather cold in this part of the world (Québec – Canada) and I was wondering how best to protect my camera in these circumstances. What I’m mostly worrying about is condense in my camera, when I bring it back inside from the cold outdoors. So I guess my question is;
Do any of you guys know of some way to protect a camera from condense?

The Creative Zone – Pushing Your Own Limits
Over the years of learning about photography certain lessons stick out in my mind. One of these was the Mailbox Assignment. The assignment was simple; 36 shots of a mailbox. It had to be the same mailbox, oh, and by the way . . . each shot had to be uniquely different. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, let’s see . . . there is front, back, left side, right side, shot from above, or shot from below. That’s six, only thirty more shots to go.

You could shoot with the flag up or the flag down, or shoot just the flag itself. You could shoot with the mailbox door open or closed or somewhere in between. Congratulations! You are now up to twelve shots, only twenty four more to go. You could shoot with a little mail in the box, or a whole lot of mail, or somewhere in between. As you can see the first 15 or even 20 shots aren’t that hard, but they aren’t the point of the assignment.

Better pictures – Introducing the Progress Journal
Contributing to ‘MyShutterspace’ has been a real eye-opener for me. Not only have I met some really nice genuine people I’ve come to realize my worst fears about the way the average amateur photographer approaches the craft. Or should I say, stumbles into it. I am more convinced now than I ever was, that the approach to photography by amateurs is totally wrong.

In a word or two they start holding the wrong end of the stick. I’m excluding those who want to take ‘snaps’ of the new baby, the dog or the Xmas party. If you happened fit in this category this post is not aimed directly at you, although you are welcome to read on. On the other hand you can toddle off and play among yourselves and snap to your heart’s content. Good on you.

How To Use Light in Photography
To achieve good results in making photos with different light sources you need firstly to get acquainted with the photo camera’s manual regime and secondly to forget about automatic regimes. While making outdoor portrait photos in build flash can improve the photo. In cloudy weather the photo becomes more bright and saturate. It sunny day the use of flash allows to avoid deep shadows.
Light (5) by Sawan (profile)
Probably the best lighting for outdoor portrait photos is dispersed light in cloudy weather. Also the problem photographers frequently meet with is the shortage of light in room. In build flash application is not the best way to increase lighting.

Inspiration and How You Go About Shooting
I have many photog friends who will just say to me, “I am going out shooting today”. I find that I can’t just do that. Go out with nothing in particular in mind. When I have tried, I usually shoot nothing or crap. On the other hand, I will all of a sudden have an idea and go for it. (I do alot of still life for stock and this weighs in to that a lot) When that happens, I usually get shots although, I would say that if I shoot 40 photos, I probably only use 2.

How do other people find inspiration? Do you start with an idea? Do you just go in search of anything that might strike you? I find that I usually start with an idea and usually one that is a challenge for me. For instance shopping. I then might go out and decide to work on shooting shop windows-dealing with glare, composition etc…Or I start with an emotion. I recently did “a feeling of being alone”.
