Take all the pictures you've taken during the last month, get comfortable and pass them in review.

How many are good and how many are bad?
What is the percentage of images that you waste?
What's wrong in the photos you throw away?

This is an experiment, a work of analysis, an exercise to rationalize what is insufficient into your images.

It can be difficult and tiring to get used to go regularly to review our less successful photos, but this could change the way we see and live photography.

Last March 20 two celestial events coincided with spring equinox, Supermoon and Total Solar eclipse.
The evening before the solar eclipse infact, the Earth and Moon were as close together as they possibly can be, giving rise to a so-called Supermoon.

This makes the 2015 Spring Equinox eclipse a supermoon eclipse, which means a supermoon, equinox and eclipse all on the same day.

Around 60% of the sun's light was blocked out at my location and this is what I saw...

It is not unusual for some people to get a little tired of winter.
Is this happening to you?

It may be cold, but there is plenty of green already in the landscape, not to mention blossoms as an early sign that spring will soon be in the air.

I love to breathe the spring smell that the land produces in late March. It's equal parts rain and soil, grass and ozone, creating a perfume that no one can replicate.
Can't wait for the real season...

Every photographer wants its work to have some kind of “magical” quality in it.

In order to achieve that, one element you should add is something photographers refer to as “the golden hour.”

In very informal terms, the golden hour is simply the first hour of light after sunrise, and the last hour of light before sunset.

The golden hour is also known as the magic hour, but I prefer to think about it in terms of "pretty fast hour"...changes in lighting occur pretty fast, so keep shooting as much as you can and be sure to capture as many variations as possible!

Snow, ice and the air crispness that comes with freezing temperatures can add a new dimension to your photography.

Even the most mundane of scenes can be transformed into a place of beauty and wonder with snow.

After a nice snow, I find myself getting out to photograph vistas that I wouldn’t even think twice about without the white stuff.

There’s just something about snow that makes everything pretty and exciting. I luv snow! :-)

The World Press Photo is one of the first events of the year regarding the most important photographic prizes worldwide.

The photojournalist Mads Nissen was proclaimed the winner of the World Press Photo of the Year 2014 (the contest goes to reward the images taken in the previous year).

His photo was shot in St.Petersburg, Russia, and shows an intimate moment between Jon and Alex, a homosexual couple. The photo is part of the project "Homophobia in Russia" where life for lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people is becoming increasingly difficult. Sexual minorities face legal and social discrimination, harassment, and even violent hate-crime attacks from conservative religious and nationalistic groups.
