Today, everyone is an aspiring photographer due to the ubiquitousness of the cell phone camera. Instead of carting around their large DSLR, the cell phone is becoming the de facto tool of choice, since it’s always with us. What the mirrorless camera system offers is the ability to carry a real camera that provides the photographer with lens choice, exposure options, and a real viewfinder, all in a package that is small enough to encourage the photographer to carry that camera and leave the full-size DSLR at home.

As sure as the sun will rise, it is infinitely better to capture your travel landscapes at exactly that moment—sunrise.
Without any doubt, sunrise is the perfect time to be in position and photographing the landmarks that you find on your travels. There has been a lot of discussion, debate, and even heated argument through the years about whether sunrise or sunset will offer you the better shot, and I feel it's important to try and put the matter to rest.

Stellar sea lions, South Marble Islands, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Southeast Alaska.

The soft side light highlighted the steam coming off the animals. (Canon DSLR, 100-400mm, f/5.6 @ 1/1000, ISO 400)

The greatest challenge in travel photography and in photography in general is capturing the essence of a person or place. The world is smaller than ever and almost everyone is traveling and taking pictures. So how do you separate yourself from the pack?We are often told that the best time to photograph is during the magic hours of dusk and dawn. The lighting can be very gentle, even, with wonderful shades of yellow and blue dancing together. However, I think more magic can be found when we photograph at night and extend our exposure into the

It was December 2005. We had just made the long crossing of the Drake Passage to Antarctica. On the horizon were enormous icebergs. It was our first view of big ice. We all rushed to the deck and began to photograph. I found myself standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Seth Resnick. He was using a long 300mm lens. I was using a wide 28mm lens. We both looked at each other and then looked again. Our approach was so different we were astonished. "Let me see your camera!" we both said

Seascapes are about sky, water, the physical dynamics of the points at which they meet, reflections and mirror imaging and most of all, the unique qualities of moisture-filtered light that one can only find where sky meets water.
Times of Day for Best Light and Color
As with landscape photography, the time of day weighs heavily on the aesthetic attributes of your efforts, and color-wise, the best images are invariably captured during the 20 to 40 minutes leading up to and following sunrise and sunset, when the world is bathed in low-angle rays

Aside from the lens barrel, a camera lens is composed of two main components, the clusters of individual glass elements and an iris, which is a circular set of blades that open and close to allow controlled amounts of light to enter the lens and travel through to the imaging sensor to create pictures. (The pupil in your eye works the same way, by opening up wider in the dark or smaller in bright light, to allow the proper volume of light to
