Wildlife Photography - Consider Your Subject First

In this guest post from seasoned wildlife photographer and author Joe McDonald gives some great tips on capturing fantastic images of animals of all kinds.

What I love about Joe's approach is that he starts with his subject - not just how to get the shot all all costs but how to get the shot and care for the animal in the frame.

Read Joe's first DPS tutorial here (hopefully we'll get a repeat one shortly)

Is That Fancy Lens (or Camera) Really Worth It?

Ever researched that new lens for your DSLR and wondered whether paying extra is worth it in terms of picture quality?

In this post Peter Carey asks the same question and shows some shots that he's taken with two lenses to see what we think. 

Have your say in this post - there's been plenty of discussion already.
