There was a time when I was asked to be a judge for photographic completions and I was always struck when listening to other judges when they were talking about a competitor’s images that always started by talking about it’s composition.

If you’re interested in getting involved in infrared photography, I think the least expensive way is to use a camera you already have along with a special infrared filter.

I’ll admit it, although I have never owned one of their cars, I have a thing for SAAB automobiles. I’ve owned and love several Volvo cars but never a SAAB and always, and I mean always had a passion for the SAAB Sonett sports car
