Every photographer starting out wants to get the best shots but this does not come without effort to learn the basics that can allow one to perform well as a photographer.

Landscape photography is a genre where long exposures can be a good thing. They let you get motion into a photo, in the form of blurred water, clouds, grass, and leaves on trees.

Showing you photography basics, how to pick the best equipment, and how to sort and present your photos. That’s the new goal of Zonerama Magazine. Or rather, of Learn Photography by Zoner Photo Studio—the site’s new name.

Are you or your child raising a pet at home? And have you ever had the thought that your pet might be a superb subject for a photo? We have a few tips for you on how to make these photos clever and interesting.

Macro photography is one of those genres where equipment really matters. Even in ordinary photography, it’s all about light, and in macro photography that goes double, especially when it comes to light diffusion.

In our age of digital photographs, you can snap as many pictures as you’d like. So it’s easy to take several pictures in a row to get a higher chance of getting at least one that’s usable. However, you then face a demanding task—picking the best photo out of all these similar ones. But Multi-selections make it easy.
