Do you master your camera well? How good are your technical skills? Just take this Photoanswers Technical Quiz and find out. How much I did? My score was 7/10…

Have a great week-end everybody!

OK…

…I think that the question of the century Would you still visit this blog if it had just one post a month? has been haunting you long enough .

Many thanks for taking the time participating to he poll. To be honest, I thought I would have gathered less than 0 responses. All in all, the results surprised me.

The poll results, as of today, show that for an overwhelming 88% of you a post a month would be ok, while for the remaining 12% it would not.

Thanks to that 88% I’ve decided I’ll keep this blog alive. I’ll try to do my best to post at least one article a month - but who knows, maybe inspiration will hit and there will be more - hopefully.

I also wanted to say how much I’d like to write more in-depth articles on photo techniques and my own way of editing my photos but find it a bit hard and time-consuming due to the fact that English is not my primary language. Again, never say never: I may venture in something more on the tech side, after all (be prepared to some unintentional humor then!).

Enough for now. I must go and mull over my next post …

It’s been a month…

…since my last post. I know this is no good. My bunch of readers must have migrated somewhere else (reasonably). I’m beginning to ask myself if it’s worth keeping this blog alive when it seems I haven’t enough time to update it. I really admire you guys out there who can keep up with blog posts and life - really do.

So I thought I’d set up a little poll and see what you think - supposing you are still among the few who visit here.

On the the poll: Would you still visit this blog if it had just one post a month?

Thank you!

Affordable backpacks for you gear

For carrying around my gear I use a Lowepro SlingShot 100AW which I find very easy to use and sturdy. I can fit inside it my Nikon d70 with the standard 18-70 zoom lens, the Sigma 50mm macro, battery charger, a couple filters, hoods, the sb600 flash, and spare batteries. In the future, as my gear will probably expand, I will need a real backpack.

PopPhoto Magazine in this article lists five nice and low-priced backpacks you may find interesting.

Don’t eat that food! Just shoot at it.
