Newest Photo of the Month
Seeing: The paler shade of this patch of soil caught my eyes and on closer examination, I could almost see a pattern that resembles the head of a tiger!
Thinking: It would be great to capture this unusual soil formation and in order to capture it in its truest form, no filter is used.
Acting: This shot was taken with my Nikon F65D on auto mode and the film used was Kodak Max ISO 400.

Tips of the Month
11 Tips for taking by-the-rules pictures
1. Use wide-angle lenses for landscapes, panoramic views, interiors and buildings.
2. Use telephoto lenses for sports, wildlife, portraits, candids and invasive news pictures.
3. The main subject should be looking into the frame or traveling into the frame to lead the viewer into the picture.
4. Get the whole subject in.
5. Pictures should have a strong focal point to draw the eye to.
6. Pictures of buildings should always be taken with the camera level to prevent the building looking like it is falling over backwards.
7. Don't shoot when the shadows are shorter than you are.
8. Process slide film using E6 film chemistry.
9. Use the slowest speed film you can get away with to minimize the effects of grain.
10. Use daylight-balanced film for daytime pictures and tungsten-balanced film for artificial light.
11. Your pictures should be pin-sharp
