		<description><![CDATA[Rome is a city full of history and historical monuments, most of them easily accessible and in the open air, plenty of opportunities to take breathtaking photos. Being originally built over 7 hills, it's also not difficult to find places where it's possible to observe a beautiful panorama looking at the skyline of the city. The charme of Rome is increased at night, when traffic slows down and there is a more relaxed atmosphere. Below is a selection of 10 locations where to take interesting pictures, with samples of my photos and contributions from other authors.

		<description><![CDATA[Motion Blur is a technique intended to capture the movement, instead of having it frozen. The most common way to understand what a motion blur picture is, is to think of a vehicle moving and impressing the sensor in a long exposure photo, and recording a blurred trail. <a href="http://www.slr-lens.co.uk/blog/2012/04/11/showing-the-movement-motion-blur-photography/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Macro photography truly is a unique form of art.  It brings into focus the minuscule aspects of our world that are typically too small to notice or see.  A typical and insignificant part of our day is suddenly given new life and vibrancy, providing a greater understanding of the smaller world that surrounds us.  As the following images demonstrate, we can finally see the extraordinary details that were hidden before photography became possible.

		<description><![CDATA[Light painting is not difficult to learn, doesn't require much experience and is a lot of fun! The idea behind this technique is really simple: while shooting a long exposure photo, move a source of light around, this gets recorded onto the sensor of the camera as an abstract drawing or 'light painting'.

		<description><![CDATA[The technique of "photo stitching" has been around a while, and was used even in traditional or analogue photography, albeit in a crude way. In the past, photos were stitched together using transparent tape.  Today, in the digital world, computers do the work, but the idea is still the same.  The technique consists of taking several overlapping pictures and editing them with computer software (known as post processing) to obtain a single panorama covering up to 360 degrees. Some compact cameras have an integrated feature which achieves the same effect without the need for post-processing.  But in order to achieve the highest quality, you often need to do it yourself. <a href="http://www.slr-lens.co.uk/blog/2012/01/28/how-to-create-a-panoramic-picture-using-photo-stitching/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a video review of the original Canon EOS 1DS (Mark 1) professional SLR camera.  Launched in 2003, the 1DS has been around a long time now, and a number of it's capabilities have been surpassed by more recent cameras.  However, if you're looking for a full frame digital SLR at a reasonable price, the Canon EOS 1DS is certainly an option.

		<description><![CDATA[If you've ever seen those waterfall photographs where it's bright daylight but the water appears to be flowing smoothly as if the shutter speed is very slow, you're probably looking at a photo taken with a neutral density filter over the lens. They basically darken the scene allowing for a longer shutter speed to be used when there is still bright sunlight. Graduated neutral density filters are also popular. GND filters darken part of a scene, e.g. a bright sky, allowing a more even illumination throughout the picture. Below are a few great examples of photos taken with neutral density filters, I hope you enjoy them. <a href="http://www.slr-lens.co.uk/blog/2011/12/26/stunning-photos-taken-with-a-neutral-density-filter/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
