This certainly doesn’t apply to just street photography… Food for thought on what to and what not to show and how to show it..
A free e-book on street photography.
My third eBook about Street Photography.
This time I wrote down everything you
need to know about candid street portraits.
This is a very close, direct and honest way
of shooting in the streets. It has been my
speciality for the last 3 years and there
were not many people who did it the same
way. There are also a lot of people who
don’t like this way of unasked approach.
For me it’s the interest in humanity which
lets me getting that close. In the end it’s
your personal decision, if you want to do
such photos yourself or not. The guideline
is here and there are a lot of sample photos
included. All you need to know how to get
closer, to shoot direct and fearless from a
very short distance.

Lightroom 4: Importing and Organizing Your Images (by AdobeLightroom)
Indoor photography scares the bajesus out of most photographers, and rightly so. On-camera flash, off-camera flash, ambient lighting and then throw people into the mix and it’s enough to make a grown man weak in the knees. Utilizing filters on lenses and flashes can change any photograph, using them specifically for indoor photography can be a life saver.
(via Do More With Your Polarizer - Outdoor Photographer)
If you think a polarizer is only for darkening the sky, you’re missing opportunities to enhance reflections, saturate color and emphasize texture in shade or overcast. Many nature photographers are simply screwing on a polarizer without understanding how it works, mistakenly believing that merely having it attached is sufficient. When used properly, a polarizer is one of the most valuable tools in your bag for creating rich, evocative landscape photos.
