After weeks of secret discussions and work I proudly announce now that Fenyertek.hu, our Hungarian photography tutorial portal has just started to operate.
We are aiming to fill in the itching lack of freely available photography related information in Hungarian. We are going to share videos, podcasts and written material about lighting in studio and on location, portrait, landscape and macro photography, retouching and whatever else comes up as a matter of interest from our readers.

If you speak Hungarian come and visit us. But even if you don’t, you might enjoy some of our videos.

Joe McNally has uploaded this interview in two parts (Blogging & Shooting) on to  his YouTube channel two weeks ago. Have you seen it?
A few fun stories in ol’ McNally style. And he mentions a third book he is working on.

Global warming, climate crisis, carbon footprint, deforestation, and you could go on and on.

Is it important for photographers too? Hobby shooters or serious amateurs? Even for pros?

Why do I care? And why should anyone else?

Many answers in the two videos below.

Today is Blog Action Day.

If you know these two guys and haven’t seen it before watch the video below for a good laugh.

Found it on Joe McNally’s blog. Make your comments there.

Have you ever seen this online tool? It was new to me when I read about it in David Hobby’s tweets. It is what it looks like: an online Lighting Diagram Creator and it is free to use.

It is somewhat surprising for me to read a blog post from Chase Jarvis about lighting techniques. Not because he is not knowledgeable of the topic. He is definitely a master of his craft. However, over the time it became more of his blogging style to write about something more than just photography and its technical background.  For example, he recommended Paul Arden’s book which I purchased and inspired me a lot, and in an other post he encouraged us reading blogs rather about creativity, vision, mindset and approach.

What will poor McNally do if the young Jarvis takes everything over from him?
