		<title>Review of the Lens Loop-sling camera strap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I&#8217;ve found the strap on my camera to be a nuisance. I use my camera on my tripod a lot so I&#8217;m constantly moving the strap out of the way. When I&#8217;m out and about, I like to have my DSLR on me but I don&#8217;t like to have my camera dangling around my [...]]]></description>

		<title>What gear (not) to bring on holidays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently returned from a super two-week family holiday in France. I was determined to take some good stock shots so I decided to bring my DSLR, even though I always carry my little Canon IXUS 100IS. We did the fly-and-hire to Bordeaux, so bringing luggage and gear had to be well thought out in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Green Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a follow up to my earlier post, Green Day. I decided a few months ago to try and grow my own herbs and vegetables, just to see if I could actually grow something! Let me first say that I&#8217;m not a gardener by any means. Green fingers I do not possess. However, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>When is a Brolly not a brolly&#8230;when it&#8217;s a diffuser!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The umbrella (&#8216;Brolly&#8217; is a colloquial/slang term) is one of my favorite items in my kit. There are numerous reasons for why I like it: portability inexpensive shoot through shoot as a reflector usage as a prop I did a corporate shoot last year. The brief was to get individual and group shots of the CEO, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Contemporary Communion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article reminded me of this concept that I&#8217;ve had brewing for awhile. The article describes the amount of money that parents are willing to spend on their child&#8217;s first holy communion and the amount of money that the child receives (in the form of gifts) on the day. The TEMPTATION (excuse the pun) would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gear(ing) down a notch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post isn&#8217;t about all the different photography gear that I use. If you want to find out about all the extensive gear you can get, check out Joe McNally or Chase Jarvis. Instead, I want to discuss certain items of equipment that I find very effective in my shoots. Let&#8217;s start with the reflector. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stop the creep(ing)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of my lens kit, I have a Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. I&#8217;ve had it now for a couple of years. It&#8217;s a great versatile lens. Recently, I&#8217;ve noticed the lens creep, especially when I&#8217;m doing macro/overhead shots, where the camera is at 45 degree angle or more. A fellow tech/photographer I follow on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Polaroid &#8211; a homage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read an interesting blog post recently by Petapixel that mentioned a Polaroid camera. It reminded me of my Dad. He had a similar type of Polaroid camera. My dad passed away seven years ago so I asked my Mum if she knew of the camera&#8217;s whereabouts. Indeed she did. She was able to locate my [...]]]></description>

		<title>To Dodge, or not to Dodge…that&#8217;s the BURNing question!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a follow up to a previous blog post. As I shoot digitally, my images generally require some post-editing after I&#8217;ve download them onto my iMac. I shoot mainly in RAW. I usually keep my camera settings at neutral, as I prefer to do my post production in Adobe Photoshop. I&#8217;ve been using Photoshop [...]]]></description>

		<title>What it takes to TAKE that shot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The story behind this shot is probably more interesting than the shot itself, or so I&#8217;ve been told. Basically, the idea or title I had in my head was, &#8216;Diving into housework&#8217;! Unfortunately, I had to be the model. I couldn&#8217;t convince anyone to don a wetsuit. I needed an assistant. My husband, he-of-the-shy-retiring-type, reluctantly [...]]]></description>
