Night photography


Hello all
I took this shot in Beirut Lebanon, a very lively city by the Mediterranean.
Night photography is very rewarding as most of the distracting objects
will fade into the darkness.
A tripod is a must as you will need a small aperture to get the best result.
What I love about this image is that it reflects the spirit of that area.
I also just finished updating my website and I had to think hard of what to
include, although I will be adding more images very soon.
Keep on shooting

Getting organised

Hello folks
I've been away for a while, just got back from a two month trip to Lebanon.
After loads of shoots I'm facing the drama of organising all these files, but I must
admit that Lightroom is a lifesaver, the library module is just fantastic, once you get around the features you will fall in love with it. Getting all your files captioned and keyworded is priceless
specially if you submit your work to different agencies with different exclusivity levels.
Unfortunately I learned this the hard way after 3 years of submissions I ended up with a clogged hard drives and things were getting messy. One good read I highly recommend is The Dam .
Digital asset management becomes so easy its unbelievable, it covers all aspect of digital photography when it comes to organizing and backing up your files.
