Besides, you don’t get paid much. Maximize comfort. Your ass was made to enjoy sitting, and your back made for resting. Whatever will happen [...]

Hornbill Sunset, originally uploaded by jaremfan. I took a photo of this hornbill at feeding time. The photos I took this time around came out a lot sharper because I’ve started using F-stops around 5.6 and 8. I used to open it up wide at 2.8 or 4. Plus, in bright daylight, a faster shutter [...]
