The APN Guide: Macro vs. Invertebrate Photography
When you take up your camera to start photographing, there's an incredibly large number of topics to choose from. It takes a special kind of person to truly appreciate the little things in life. And those "little things" aren't the ones you're probably thinking of, because I'm talking invertebrates.
That's right, the regular creepy crawlies.
The many-legged creatures that are - to some - the stuff of nightmares. To others - like Macro Photographers - they're beautiful and a favored subject.

The APN Guide: Grounds in Landscape Photography
What is the first thing you look at in a photograph of a landscape?

You probably know all about the rule of thirds.It’s the most commonly used guide for photographers. Instead of situating your subject in the center of your frame, you divide your image into thirds – horizontally and vertically (a handy option on nearly all cameras these days). The interesting points in your photo can be found in the section where those lines intersect.

The APN Guide: Shooting Flowers, Trees and Plants
Spring is a beautiful time of the year. You only need to step outside to see trees budding, plants basically growing in front of your eyes and flowers starting to bloom. Even when you're not a proficient photographer, you might have felt the urge to grab hold of a camera and snap a few quick pictures.
