Magazine Review

         The magazine Expert Photo Techniques had a good balance of articles about how people create there images or where they got an inspiration for a series of photos, and equipment that you can buy. There was equipment techniques that it talked about in articles that I had never heard about like printing images on metal and a close-up bounce flash that you use on things mostly out in nature, for example butterflies. There were also articles about what to pack when you go out shooting and the bag you should use which has lots of compartments for many lenses, or snacks.
         One article that caught my eye was written by Jeff Wignall about Darren Pearson and his night drawing. He uses a combination of long shutter speeds, an s=assortment of small flashlights, and great drawing skill to make pictures of skeletons smoking or playing ball in interesting picturesque locations, so it adds a fun twist to a beautiful photo. Another article that caught my eye was by Jeff Wignall, again, about Matt Stock. He lives in florida and takes pictures out in the marshes and oceans of objects that are partially submerged in the water. The lighting technique he uses lights up the object from beneath or on top of the water so you can see more that what is just on top of the water, you can actually see beneath the surface.
         Overall I found this magazine quite interesting. There were a few different article that piqued my interest and there were quite a few lenses i learned about that I want. I'm not sure I would subscribe to the magazine, but I would  defiantly pick a copy up if i saw it on a stand or in the front of a book store.
