We’ve all seen the technical diagrams of your compound lenses. And I’m sure you’ve looked inside your camera at least when you’re cleaning your sensor. But to better appreciate how your camera really works, you really need to look at a camera that has suffered the ill fate of being cut in half. Thanks to Wired’s Gadget Lab, we now have such photographic evidence of what our camera and some of our lenses might look like.

Another great article from Digital Photography School (I assure you, I do read other sites, but they have so many good articles).   This article is  about different stances and camera holding techniques that you can use to reduce camera shake.  This isn’t about special lenses or anything - this is purely a techniques article that everyone can use.

PS - I took a little license with the name of my post for clarity reasons.

My wife and son in October, 2007.  At the time, my son was almost two years old.  Trying to get him to sit still (ever) is a challenge.  The fair trade-off is that he’s almost always smiling.

Just a quick message to let you all know that I may have some sparse postings the next couple of weeks.   It’s project time at my house, which means I’ll be spending a lot of time doing things that aren’t photography.  I do have a few promising images in the workflow, so I will post them as soon as I get an opportunity.  Meanwhile, feel free to browse my gallery and check my back posts.  Or check out some of the fine work by some of the photographers I have linked at right.
