Maritime climates are usually dynamic, and the rhythm of the tides and the passing clouds make it relatively straightforward to create images bursting with energy and flow. Seascapes make an excellent learning ground where diverse techniques can be mastered – and for those of us fortunate enough to live within the scent of salt water, every day we go back to familiar locations they can look completely different. The Seascape Photography Bundle, Alister Benn’s three-book series, has been written to teach you everything you need to know to get out there and start taking marvelous seascapes – from the most basic and hassle-free techniques through to complex and demanding contemporary disciplines at the cutting edge of our art and craft.<
Daily Photo – Bilbo’s Hobbit Hole at Bag End
One brisk evening on the North Island of New Zealand, I was on the Hobbiton Movie Set and I was able to take a photo of Bilbo’s home as the day fell away and the warm lights came on. I was completely transfixed by this day. I had spent the entire day there, from 5 AM until late into the night (and well beyond this). A few little rainstorms came and went throughout the day, dropping fresh, glowing rain all over the 40+ hobbit hole-homes there. I spent some time here inside Bilbo’s hole during those times… just sitting there, watching the rain fall across Hobbiton.
