    On the way back from Coburg after having pizza at the pizza place, it was one of those typical early ?false spring? afternoons. I saw the rainbow and liked how it was framed right in the middle of the road, so I snapped the photo.

    People often wonder why I bring such a large lens to the Zoo. I used a Sony G lens with a focal length of 300-600mm for this shot. When I visit the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido, my objective is to take pictures that don't feel like they were taken at the zoo. In this case, the close-up of the tiger does just that, and you are brought into his focus. You can feel the intensity of his stare!Never stop capturing the moments!

    I am new to photography, and this was my very first attempt at a golden hour sunset photo. I had arrived plenty early to set up, but quickly got discouraged because I could not seem to get the exposure right when shooting into the sun. Just when I was ready to give up, the sun got low enough, and suddenly everything exploded with color. I was very happy with the photo at first, but now wish I had moved more to my left so I could cut the bridge out of the image. That white thing across the wa

    I recently bought a 200-600mm lens for my Sony A7R4, this was only the second time of using it and I thought I'd give shooting the moon a go. Everyone tends to go for the Full moon but I find phases of the moon more interesting as it hides something in the dark.
