Whether you’re shooting portraits of a beautiful model, or wildlife in the field, one way to turn a good image into a great one is to capture some life in your subject’s eyes.

We've all come across an interesting scene that would make a spectacular shot in better light. Sometime the problem is a bland day, while other times your vantage point relative to the sun is not where you need it to be. In either case, this tutorial from the PHLOG Photography YouTube channel demonstrates how to win the challenge—even if you have to create glorious light of your own during post-processing.

Neutral Density (ND) filters are among the most popular tools for nature and landscape photographers because of the versatility they provide in setting exposure.

We're all at the mercy of Mother Nature When shooting in the field, and that leaves us three options when arriving at a beautiful location and are faced with flat, uninspiring light. We can sit around and wait until conditions improve, give up and return another day, or capture the best images possible and enhance them during the editing process when we return home.
