When taking pictures of flowers do not forget to take pictures at an angle. This technique makes the flower stand out more over the common frontal flower shot.

Hey guys, I am sorry I have not been posting. I have been busy finishing my e-magazine. I expect to finish it on time and expect some surprises that you are going to like it.

When looking for flowers to photograph, do not forget the insects that live around it. A keen eye is necessary to spot these beautiful specimens. Remember, flowers are just the beginning ....

My lens was a Nikon 80-400 mounted on a tripod with my Nikon D100. Next time you are outside grab you longest lens and shoot the moon. Bracket the shots to get the correct exposure.

Some of us might just have a point and shoot camera that does not have a the capability of a wide angle lens. So, what do you do? merge two, three or more photos! have fun next time you travel and get your pictures ready to show. Can you guess where is this? "IMIMA" rearange this puzzle and find out the place.

When I take pictures of buildings I often like try to include a foreground that will enhance the image. Try it next time. This requires to move around and look for better angles. ©Vargas

I stopped for a few seconds and I snapped this picture. What are you going to find were you drive? Your point and shoot camera should never be out of your pocket.

©Vargas Abstracts can give us surprises not only with shapes but also with colors. In this picture, I took this picture and used a "flaming pear filter" it created this curious shot that I liked it. It is not a master piece but, I see potential in the things that I could produce if I put my creativity to work more.
