• When are you going to learn? Asks the David over at the Strobist, in a rambling post that has valuable insight on improving your photography. This is something quite different from the usual tips on technique. Incidentally, the Strobist is probably one of the best Internet resources on off camera strobe lighting.

St Minas

St Minas Cathedral, Iraklion, Crete.

Ayios Titos

St Titus Church, Iraklion, Crete.

We stepped out of the bright Greek sunshine into this church interior. They have a way of managing the lighting and decor to convey the feeling of sacredness, a place set apart from the ordinary concerns of daily life.

Immanence

Irakleon Harbour, Crete.

LC and went for a walk along this miles long breakwater. Every time we turned around to look at the city, there was a different panorama of these god beams illuminating the city.

• Jill Greenberg is more well known for her shots of crying children, but I think her series of Monkey Portraits are also outstanding.
• The New York Times has a great series of atmospheric shots of NYC. I'm very pleased to see a major newspaper highlighting art photography like this. The shots are mostly done in low light and with probably the most basic of cameras.

• Peter Gregg shows you how to build a better bounce card. A cheap alternative if you'd rather not spring for a lightsphere. The foam material he uses can be bought at Artfriend stores in Singapore for about $1.
• Edward Burtynski talks about his industrial landscapes. This is truly the landscape photography of the present time.
