Through the Gadling Lens: the photoblogs of our Gadling photo pool contributors
Never let it be said that we don't have amazing photographers who contribute to our Gadling Flickr pool. One of my favourite things to do is to just scroll through all the striking images -- or better still, do searches within the pool for images of any of my upcoming travel ...Through the Gadling Lens: try not to focus
There can be no doubt that a really lovely, crisp image with a sharp focus can make a shot -- and in truth, focus can be one of the easiest technical aspects of a photograph that can be learned and controlled. But just this past week, I was instant-messaging a photographer ...Through the Gadling Lens: 7 photography exercises for the brand-new photographer
I bought my very first SLR camera about 15 years ago.

A few months ago, I wrote a post describing the types of shots that I always try to take when I'm traveling -- the kinds of shots which will make a complete album capturing all of the memories and images around my trip. Well, this week, I've culled through the Gadling flickr ...Through the Gadling Lens: learning photog lingo

This week, I got a great email from Gadling reader Matthew, about a really exciting upcoming trip: Dear Karen, My friends and I are going on a week long trip to Varadero in Cuba in two weeks. One of the main attractions that I'm looking forward to is the cuevas de bellamar, ...Through the Gadling Lens: Prepping for a trip
Recently, I received the following email from someone I'll call "Willy" (because that's his name): "We're going sailing in Tortola this summer with another couple, and I want to take some great shots. How can I prepare in advance of my trip to maximize success? All I can ...Through the Gadling Lens: Great online resources for photographers
Before I really got into photography, I used to believe that really fabulous photographs only resulted from really expensive camera and processing equipment. While this might have been true twenty years ago, the truth is that great photography can pretty much come from any ...Through the Gadling Lens: shooting inside
When we think about travel photography, we usually think of images of amazing vistas, vast seascapes, impressive skylines -- you know, the world outside. But the truth is, when we travel we spend a considerable amount of time inside: in museums and cathedrals, local homes, ...Through the Gadling Lens: SLRs vs point-and-shoots, and how to edit photos without feeling like you're cheating
One of the common statements I hear from people is, "well, of course your holiday images are great -- look at that huge camera you use!" The truth is that with as much technology as is crammed into those tiny little point-and-shoots these days, it's absolutely possible to ...Through the Gadling Lens: Tips for choosing which vacation shots to take
As I type this, I'm about half-way through my trip to England. It's a whirlwind trip of visiting family, seeing long-lost friends, making new acquaintances and cramming in sight-seeing daytrips when I can -- not to mention fighting a rampant case of jetlag. But through it ...Through the Gadling Lens: How to pack like a photographer for your trip
I mentioned last week that I was getting ready for a trip to England -- and I was a bit panicky about the fact that I hadn't finished packing.

So, so far, we've discussed two things: how to pick a camera and what kind of lenses you might want to take with you on your trip. Today, I thought we'd talk about the exciting world of apertures, and shutter speeds and ISO. Wait, where are you going? Okay, I know that for a ...Through the Gadling Lens: choosing the right lens
Thanks for all your comments on the previous post, "what kind of camera should I buy?" -- there were some really going points made, and some great feedback. Today, as promised, I thought I'd go through a quick guide on why there are so many lenses out there and why they ...Through the Gadling Lens: What kind of camera should I buy?
Maybe you're about to take the trip of a lifetime: your passport's ready, you've bought all the latest guidebooks, you now have an entirely new wardrobe/set of luggage to take on your trip, and you want to make sure you capture every perfect moment for posterity -- but your ...
