OK so I'm cheating on this wordless one a bit - all I can say is there's a story behind this photo and if you want to read it click here.
The photo was taken in Manhattan and none of the women are models and none were styled, just told to turn up in whatever they wanted. And how magnificent does it look!
I came across this amongst some of the flipboard pages I read - this talented photographer has some amazingly cute photos of his kids in really clever and fun setups. I suppose as a photographer, you always want to keep your creative juices going and do something different than just always landscapes, portraits, macro etc. Well check this out!

Aren't they just too cute for words? Rest assured these kids will always have a tonne of photos documenting their life!
He has cute titles for his photos too :)

I just think back to my first digital camera, which I only got when I was 18! As a result, there are hardly any photos of my high school years, but a tonne of my pre-primary years because parents just love to take photos of their toddlers, am I right?
Seeing photos like this make me think I really need to learn how to use my camera better and editing programs to get some cool pics!
One of my favourite flipboard sections is the one on Photography - I would say I look at it at least once every 2 days which is a lot considering it doesn't get new posts as often as say, News or celebrity would.
Anyway, I stumbled across this beautiful wedding photo:
Isn't it extraordinary? And there was even a video accompanying it showing the painstaking effort that went into composing this beautiful shot - it literally took several minutes of adjusting the dress and the bride to get it just right!

As someone who has purposely not bought a DSLR, I absolutely love this campaign and this video especially. And as NEX owner, I love it even more!
You see, for the amount I've spent on cameras this year, I easily could have bought two basic DSLRs. Why didn't I? For a number of reasons. One definitely being size, weight and portability factor which is why I've gone high end premium point and shoot and now mirrorless. The main reason however, is I absolutely loathe people who buy DSLRs and don't even know how to use them! Sure you get great quality pics because you're using a high quality camera with great sensors, but that is only half the story. People would probably call me an enthusiast photographer but I by no means purport to think I'm some expert. What I've purposely done in avoiding buying a DSLR is bought cameras with the functionality of a DSLR so that I can learn to fully operate and make the most of those features before I even consider going the DSLR route.
I am proud to say I can at least use simple functions like adjust aperture appropriately to get the depth of field I want, as well as fiddle with shutter speeds, exposures and white balance (this is my favourite!) so I feel I have the right to shake my head at those people in this video!
Anyway I'll get off my soapbox, but here's some more video viewing :)
