While I still want to be busy writing, the year 2017 promises to be the year of the photograph. Although my photos have been publishable, I do want to get better. That applies especially to macro photographs, something I know little about but which is essential to filming tiny rocks and gems.

To learn about my new camera I have enrolled in a video course at Creativelive.com (external link). I am learning by doing about exposure and f-stops and shutter speeds and all that stuff that puzzled me in the past. Although my course is specifically about my camera, they do offer basic photography to teach people principles applicable to any camera.

I also splurged on a signature logo from PhotoLogo.com (external link).They give you several versions you can Photoshop into your creations. I’m not worried about people poaching my photographs, I simply want to be identified with the images I take. Look at a low res version below:

And this is how it could look in practice. I’d make it smaller if published. Click on the image below to see how it works in a bigger photograph:
