This is how action-packed shots succeed
Who does not know them, the impressive snapshots of sporting events, birds of prey swooping or geysers at the moment of eruption? After marveling at the effect of the image, the question often follows as to how the photographer managed to capture such a fleeting moment, which sometimes lasted only a few thousandths of a second, in pin-sharp detail.
Creative picture ideas for portraits
The portrait is the supreme discipline in photography. It's about capturing a person's character and soul in a split second.

There are many creative and perhaps previously unimagined solutions, the best tips for creative portraits are presented in more detail below.
Find the perfect travel destination
Travel photography is about capturing new, exciting destinations in an exciting and perhaps unprecedented way. Anyone who has already embarked on a multi-week trip with the camera and the rest of the equipment knows how complex the planning can be. Which lenses do you need, is the tripod light enough to be able to do longer tours with it and which filters get the best out of a landscape?
Introduction to filter photography
Filter photography, i.e. taking photos with filters placed in front of them, is associated by many exclusively with analogue photography. After all, why do we need physical filters today when our own recordings can simply be adapted to our own ideas in digital post-processing? In fact, it's not as easy as some might think, and filters have a right to exist today, perhaps more than ever.

It really doesn't take that much to get razor-sharp images and exciting compositions at night. At the beginning it is enough to heed some of the following tips.
On rainy days, it is understandable that time is preferred to be spent indoors, in the warm and dry. But those who actually dare to go outside and use the rain as a creative stylistic device open up an interesting playing field full of imaginative possibilities. The best ideas for creative photos in the rain are presented below.
Motives for photographing with a remote release
Most photographers have probably played around with a remote camera release without realizing all the creative possibilities of this special tool.

Tips for contemplative photos of Christmas
Christmas is the quiet and contemplative time when special moments matter. The loved ones find each other at home, maybe after months without seeing each other, and every moment is special.
Photographing with high light intensity
More than the camera itself, the lens contributes to a certain look in a photo. How sharp is something depicted, what exposure time is necessary and, of course, which section is reproduced on the camera sensor based on the selected focal length? Photographers have to answer these questions themselves before a shoot or a trip.
