These photography techniques cover the practical side of what has become a serious retirement hobby for me. Long exposure camera settings and point of view are two of the things I’ve spent the most time on, and you’ll find step-by-step guides here alongside the occasional look behind the scenes at photographic locations. A post on how I built this entire site for free using WordPress is coming soon too. This site stays close to the technique and the craft. For my travel stories exploring Bangkok and beyond, head over to Lens Wanderings.
