					<description><![CDATA[Shooting photography comes with many niche areas of interest. From landscape, to portrait, to event &#8211; it runs the gamut. Often times though, certain topical areas cross genres, and people often ask me questions about how to shoot reflections.

					<description><![CDATA[Originally recorded as a short audio companion to a photography blog discussion, this piece explores a question that photographers still wrestle with today: what do labels like "natural light photographer," "ambient light photographer," and "available light photographer" actually mean?

While photography technology and online trends have changed significantly over the years, the underlying challenge has not. Photographers still need to balance creative style with technical skill, and they still need to communicate clearly with clients about their approach.&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://canonblogger.com/natural-light-ambient-light-available-light/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Natural Light vs Ambient Light vs Available Light Photography</span> <span class="meta-nav" aria-hidden="true">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

In recent years, I&#8217;d been more inclined toward the written word over the photographic story-telling. That journey has led me down new creative paths to include short stories, novellas, a few poetic endeavors, and the&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://canonblogger.com/a-puff-of-life/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">A Puff Of Life</span> <span class="meta-nav" aria-hidden="true">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As an avid proponent of doing due diligence, I&#8217;ve always encouraged people to do research on lenses before buying them.  Whether it means renting them from vendors like LensProToGo, Rent Glass, or through vendor relationships, it&#8217;s a great way to get a first hand look on how lenses perform under a variety of circumstances.  This&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://canonblogger.com/hardware-review-sigma-8-16/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Hardware review:  Sigma 8-16</span> <span class="meta-nav" aria-hidden="true">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
