You’ve probably heard of RSS – also known as Really Simple Syndication. You haven’t? Oh my golly, you really should!

RSS allows you to keep track of your favourite websites, when it suits YOU. You don’t spend hours and hours checking your bookmarks and seeing if they have updated their site recently, just subscribe to the RSS feeds. Use Google Reader, or any of the others of dozens of RSS readers, both on-line and off-line, out there.

You don’t get full functionality, but at least you know when something has changed, and is worth having a peek at!

So… Take the RSS feed from /feed, and add it to your reader or client.

Or, if you use LiveJournal, why not add the LiveJournal-friendly syndication feed to your friends list?

Rock on.

Money made from this advert will be invested in prime lenses.

I use Liferea feedreader for Linux. Unfortunately with a feed reader, I am only able to read the intro of your post, and I have to read the rest of the post in your site. I know for a fact you can control these settings in your blog settings. So the real question probably is, is it by design or can I ask if you would kindly change the settings?;)

Excellent blog by the way. but I have a lot of reading to do since I haven’t finished reading all of your previous posts yet.

Hi–

I’m using a screenshot of your Web site as an example of one that’s also a blog for my book “101 Quick and Easy Ideas for Using Your Photographs.” Hope that’s okay.

So, the 550D and the 50D cost practically the same, and have different advantages. Which one would you buy?

My books

Macro Photography Photo Workshop

Macro Photography Photo Workshop by Haje Jan Kamps My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and most decent-sized bookshops, too!

To find out more, check out this post! If you want to know more about the 'being a writer' thing, check this site out.

Put another dime in the jukebox

Put another dime in the jukebox In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.

With nearly a hundred fantastic gig photos, and a ton of info about how to get involved in taking photos like this yourself, you can't go wrong. Buy this book. Grab your camera. Good luck.

Street Photography: London

Street Photography: London Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.

Sounds simple - but the results are anything but. Moving, intense, and personal, Street Photography: London is a great collection of the people of London, their passions, and their dreams. Look for yourself!

About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
