Fact: most photographers who wear glasses can't really function without them all that well. But there is a growing number of photographers who have low vision and even qualify for legal blindness. I'm one of those. That means that even with corrective lenses, you can't see well enough to be able to legally drive anymore. It also doesn't need to stop you from making images. So if you're low vision, I'm going to quickly go through a few things you should consider.

Fireworks add spark to landscape photos — pun intended. But fireworks can be among one of the trickier subjects to master. One of the challenges to fireworks photography is timing.

The Sony a7r III came out in 2017 -- and so it has nearly been a decade since its release. That's also the year that I bought this camera. At the time, it was pretty much the absolute perfect thing for me. And even today, I could argue that it still is.
