If you've ever wondered how to get a Photography studio into your own house, for not a lot of money, then wonder no more!  This article from BGR gives you some tips on how to get your own home studio up and running with a lighting kit from Amazon costing about $100. At the same time we're being spoiled this month by some great photography tips as Petapixel have been giving some advice on starting up your own photography business.

Have you heard of Stroboscopic Photography? Well, it's amazing. It's the term for something that a lot of us can (inadvertently) achieve with little effort or by accident, although admittedly the photographs shared in this article are pretty amazing. Get in touch with your inner Abstract Photographer and give it a go!


Scenery
The term scenery includes many themes. Some include animals but many include the beauty of landscapes, mounts, desert regions or coastline scenes. A landscape is a section or portion of scenery as seen from a single viewpoint. Scenery is the subject of a landscape image. However, if natural scenery dominates an image, it can probably be accurately termed a landscape, even though there may be a farmhouse in the distance, a city skyline on the horizon or a road or path in the foreground. APN photography is quite large in definition, though scenery shall determine how photographers will capture through a landscape shot the beauty of our environment. Send your APN suggestions to Nobody!
