A stunning never-before-seen wedding photo of Prince William and Kate Middleton has been revealed.

The royal fan account @royalinstablog shared the snap in question, which shows William and Kate posing side-by-side after they tied the knot on April 29, 2011.

Kate looks beautiful in her white, £250,000 Alexander McQueen gown in the photo.

The fan captioned the shot, “Never seen before an image of The Prince and Princess of Wales on their wedding day.

“They shared this image in their 2011 Christmas card.”

I thought it would be useful to blog about a lens I just sold on eBay this week. It was a Nikkor 135mm 2.8 AIS that I owned and used sparingly for about 15 years. It’s a useful lens but nothing I’ve ever really liked about it, which is why it’s rarely used. Recently, I picked up a 180mm 2.8 AIS ED (which I I fell in love with and will post soon) and since I’m a fan of overselling camera gear I decided to free up space for the 180 by selling my Pre-AI Nikkor 135mm 2.8 Q or

We’ve done a lot of posts recently about food photography gear. That’s mostly what people seem to want to read. Which is totally understandable: for those just starting out in food photography, and struggling to achieve the kind of photographic results they see others producing, it can easily be seen that the answer to their quest lies in technology and technique. If only you could tell what special gear the pros use, then your photos would look like theirs too.

Except that’s not really how it works.

To be sure, struggling with equipment that doesn’t fit, doesn’t work, or is

I really love my family session by the sea. Meet the beautiful Ashton family who met me on the beautiful beaches of Noosa for their session earlier this year before the world went to hell.

It was a rare opportunity for this little family to be together (one big kid just got back from overseas and the other big kid was just leaving to move to North Queensland) and so Mom jumped at the chance to capture them all when she had the chance.

And this much about the big kids too, there was just one little superstar who was

For photographers, the best part of the holiday season is capturing the Christmas lights and subjects against the Christmas lights as a backdrop. It is during this season that you can take pictures with beautiful Christmas Bokeh and they are so much fun to photograph.

When taking photos of Christmas lights, it is important to understand the environment. Since the light display from holiday lights is not as bright as other lights you would normally use for photography, you will need to use the techniques you normally use for low light photography. You’ll be dealing with high ISO

I like reading. I grew up in a house full of books, and history repeats itself with our kids- if Felix is ​​ever quiet, I usually don’t worry about him doing something he shouldn’t. He’s usually on the playroom floor, surrounded by piles of Babar’s books.

So it’s kind of a mystery to me why reading for that business such a struggle! This probably had something to do with the fact that it didn’t feel like *actually* work, as there was nothing concrete to indicate the time spent with my nose in a book, at least not immediately after. But

I didn’t tell anyone, especially Annie at first, but when I saw photos of the girl scouts from this location in south London, I knew I wanted to put the lampshade on Amber Tutton’s head.

For wardrobe directions, I’m of course more specific. Given the pastel walls, I said I wanted it to look like a parfait. I believe I said something like, “In terms of color, you know, think a scoop of gelato with legs and stilettos.” Annie and Lynn gave me an odd, well-timed head tilt, and, with that kind of perfectly precise direction, advanced in style.
