Wouldn’t it be nice to conjure up majestic light on immaculate subjects any time of day? 5 a.m. wake-up calls to capture the sweet light of sunrise would no longer be necessary. Romantic sunsets with loved ones could occur every evening. Going to bed on a full stomach at 9 p.m. could become a thing of the past. The tradeoff is your subject matter will be restricted, but your subjects will still have allure. The shift in gears would have you limit your subject matter, but it wouldn’t be a trade-off because fabricating fabulous florals is fun and fascinating. Flowers are like magnets. Their colors, shapes, forms and textures attract us, compel us to record them and whisper in our ears...

The Viltrox AF 50mm f/1.8 offers an upgrade over those cheap models without breaking the bank, and this great video review takes a look at the image quality and performance you can expect from it.

Photo By Nadeem Sufi Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Amazement” by Nadeem Sufi. “While visiting Emerald Lakes, the most striking thing was a pool of water that was left after the rest of the lake had been snowed out,” explains Sufi. “While the mountains right in front of the lake were reflecting perfectly, it was the simplicity of the snow-burdened trees that seemed just stunning! While photographing, it struck me how gorgeous the image would look if someone would stand at the beautiful bridge right in the middle of it all. And who better than my wife, wearing this lovely reddish snow jacket/pants that we had specially packed for these kinds of moments. All I had to do was ask...
