Viewfinder vs LCD monitor, let battle commence...
In today's photography world, we rarely use the optical/electronic viewfinder on our cameras. Most people are content composing with the LCD monitor on the back of the camera, in a similar way to how we capture images with our mobile phones. In fact, I have always struggled to take decent photos on my phone, I just don't find it very engaging and intuitive, but I guess that's just me with new tech...

The Big M...
Sorry its got nothing to do with that burger joint... I'm talking shooting manually, something I seem to be doing more often.
Shoot from the hip
As you may be well aware I'm a look through the viewfinder kind of guy. It is part of my photography philosophy. Well until recently...
Print is not dead...
So in the good ole days I would shoot film and then develop the film, contact sheet and then finally a print would emerge from the chemical waters of discovery...
