You can learn more about the TIFFEN MCS filters in the video below, and you can get a special discount on these filters for a limited time from my friends at Hunt’s Photo & Video here:

Survey Results: Should Subject Face Left or Right?

The results are in for my fun–and certainly not scientific–poll asking photographers whether a subject in a photo should point toward the left or toward the right.

This survey was inspired by a question featured in my Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter, which focused on the recommendation that in bird photography it is best to have the bird facing left rather than right.

My answer in part explained that I personally find that I prefer the subject facing right rather than left, so I was a little amused to find that those who think the subject should face left were in the minority (less than 18%!). Or maybe I influenced the responses by stating my preference in my answer?

In any event, without further ado, here are the survey results:

Free Article: Solar Eclipse Preparation

There will be a total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024, visible to much of North America, and I have a free resource to help you prepare to observe and photograph this event.

I’m making that full issue of Pixology available free of charge, so that all photographers can make the most of the upcoming total solar eclipse if they’ll be in an area where it will be visible.
