A lesson from @clintondorr: "Life can be hard, but A lesson from @clintondorr: "Life can be hard, but just try and remember what makes it worth it for you. For me, it is the process of creating and sharing. Capturing effortless moments that may not seem all that amazing, but come to life so beautifully in pictures. And when you take it, you just know." What makes it worth it for you?

Sesriem Canyon. A postcard from @junevanderwalt. Sesriem Canyon. A postcard from @junevanderwalt. Allow us to extend your photo journey with these 4 facts: ℹ️ The canyon’s birth dates back between two and four million years, when continental upheavel resulted in the creation of most of the westward flowing rivers in the Namib Desert region. ℹ️ Today the Tsauchab River only runs after good rains fall in the nearby Naukluft Mountains, but the canyon is a testament to the rivers long-past prime some 15- 18 million years ago when the gorge was created by the river’s once sweeping movement. ℹ️ The canyon is up to 30 metres deep at points and is roughly about 1km long- with a width that ranges between one and three metres wide, flattening out as it approaches the iconic Sossusvlei. ℹ️ The name Sesriem is derived from the Dutch/Afrikaans words for “six (zes) belt (riem)” and was given to the settlement by explorers returning from the Dorsland Treks. “Six belt” is a reference to the six belts, usually made of Oryx hide, that a thirsty settler would have to tie together in order to reach down into the deep hollows in the canyon floor to extract the crystal clear cool underground water which collects under the canyon’s floor.
"We witnessed the most incredible sighting at Hoba "We witnessed the most incredible sighting at Hobatere Lodge when four lions took down an oryx in front of the lodge! The ellies weren’t too happy with the commotion, and attempted to rescue the oryx." How's this for some mid-week action? Thanks for keeping us posted @nikita_rix #ishootwithorms

Want to capture a warm, glowy image like this gorg Want to capture a warm, glowy image like this gorgeous photograph from @liafillies? Say no more! Here are our top tips: 📸 Shoot at golden hour (just before sunset or just after sunrise) to nab the softest light. 📸 Experiment with adjusting your white balance manually to draw out the reddish/yellow tones. 📸 Use a wide aperture to create softness in your background and bring attention to your subject.

As a photographic technique, double exposure (or m As a photographic technique, double exposure (or multiple exposures) has existed since the camera was first invented. But what was once old is new again, and this style has grown in popularity in recent years. We love how @jess.rreid has used the effect in this photo, making it alluring and conveying the feeling of trying to remember a now-foggy memory.
New podcast alert! Sony Alpha Ambassador and tim New podcast alert!

The difference between bland and exceptional comes The difference between bland and exceptional comes from 5 simple #photography #rules. 1. Angles. Think before you shoot. Move around your subject and consider all your options. 2. Shoot through something. Try something new and get creative with it. 3. Think opposite. If you shoot the same as everyone else you’ll have the same images as everyone else. 4. Lighting. Try gain some natural light, and if the lighting is really bad just wait until it isn’t. 5. Framing. Shoot with a story in mind then frame your subject so that the story doesn't get lost in translation. Consider placing objects inside the frame to help bring your story to life. Thanks for the photo inspo @funlifedesignlab #ishootwithorms
