Weekend Cabin: Lake Joseph Boathouse, New York The quarries around Lake Joseph, New York, provided the stone for sidewalks in the early days of New York City. That business faded with the invention of concrete, but there still remains a connection between the city and the area today, with a passel of second homes, like this boathouse. What is that they say about location again? Weekend Cabin isn’t necessarily about the weekend, or cabins.

7 Travel Photography Tips I love having travel photography from places I’ve been. I can’t think of a better souvenir from an exotic location than a great photo to hang on my wall. Getting to a cool spot is only half the battle. Having a plan and being prepared will give you a much better shot at scoring an epic photo for your travels. An empty Lincoln Memorial 1. Unless you are on assignment for National Geographic, chances are that other photographers have been to the same place you are going and have already scoped it out for you. 2. I can’t stand it when I get to a perfect spot and see the perfect shot but there are tourists EVERYWHERE. 3. Consider what you will actually need for your great photo. People can help to show scale 4. While I don’t want a ton of people in most of my travel photos, sometimes it’s nice to have one or two to show the scale of the place. 5. I also like to get shots of a place just after the sun goes down. Tripod shot at dusk – 1/8 sec at f/4 6. 7.
5 Amazing Blue Holes Have you ever swam out in the sea and not been able to see the bottom? All you can feel is the freezing cold water beneath your feet; all you see is dark blue water extending to infinity. Imagine for one second descending into the blue, deeper and deeper with every kick and breath. The adrenaline kicks in and as the pressure builds, water compresses your chest. Effectively limestone sinkholes, or submarine caves, blue holes are given their name because of the contrasting deep blue of the hole and the lighter blue of the shallows around them. 1. Just off the coast of Korcula, one of Croatia’s biggest islands you’ll find Modra Spilja (the Blue Cave). 2. Not clearly as visible from the surface, the mouth to Malta’s Blue Hole starts at 7 m deep, and is the most popular dive site on the islands. Located within the blue hole is a cave at 15 m below where shoals of tuna, groupers and barracuda are often found hovering by the large boulders and rocks. 3. 4. 5.

20 Awesome U.S. Cities You Need To Visit In Your 20s When you think of American tourism, certain locations come to mind: the bright lights of New York City, the palm trees of Southern California, the nostalgia of Disney World. But for the cash-strapped, adventure-seeking, microbrewed-beer loving, locavore millennial, the old favorites of U.S. tourism don't hold much appeal. Instead, these twenty cities make perfect locations for an urban vacation or worthy spots along a road trip. Nashville, Tennessee The capital of Tennessee pretty much has it all -- gorgeous green space (the Metro Board of Parks and Recreation manages 10,200 acres of land, including 99 parks), urban culture, collegians, and great food. Asheville, North Carolina A quirky haven in the midst of traditional (yet very beautiful) Southern towns, Asheville is a hippie capital of the south. Portland, Oregon Kind of obvious, but necessary for this list, Portland, Oregon, has long been a hot spot for the young, the artsy and those looking for a good time. Denver, Colorado Austin, Texas
Top 10 Digital Photography Tips Compose in Thirds To use the rule of thirds, imagine four lines, two lying horizontally across the image and two vertical creating nine even squares. Some images will look best with the focal point in the center square, but placing the subject off center will often create a more aesthetically composed photograph. When a photograph is composed using the rule of thirds the eyes will wander the frame. Avoid Camera Shake Camera shake or blur is something that can plague any photographer and here are some ways to avoid it. The Sunny 16 Rule The idea with the Sunny 16 rule is that we can use it to predict how to meter our camera on a sunny outdoor day. Use a Polarizing Filter If you can only buy one filter for your lens, make it a polarizer. Create a Sense of Depth When photographing landscapes it really helps to create a sense of depth, in other words, make the viewer feel like they are there. Use Simple Backgrounds Don't Use Flash Indoors Choose the Right ISO Pan to Create Motion
Eye-Popping If you're in need of an emotional boost, take a virtual trip to the chipper town of Burano, Italy on this fine Travel Tuesday. The wee island is located in the same lagoon as Venice, but its colors pop and fizzle in a way that makes it feel almost tropical. The houses on Burano obviously follow a special color pattern, dating to the island's "golden age" when it was first becoming developed. If you live on Burano and wish to paint your house, you must send a letter to the government, and they'll reply telling you which colors you're allowed to paint your lot. Legend says that the island's fisherman were the first to paint their houses in bright colors, so they could see them while they were out fishing. Lacemaking is another one of little Burano's big highlights. Nowadays, lace stores and ice cream shops and artisan kiosks clutter Burano's narrow streets.
