If you hear the phrase “holy trinity” applied to photography, it means a selection of prime lenses with a wide, a standard, and a medium telephoto focal length. Depending on the type of photography you do, you may never need any other lens.

Apple unveiled its new high-end Mac Pro at WWDC on June 3. It’s been six, long, years, since Apple shipped a “pro” computer.

In my Bird Photography Gear Guide (https://picturemethods.com/2019/02/25/scott-bournes-bird-photography-gear-guide/) I talk about the fact that I often use a monopod – not so much to steady my shots but rather, to rest my arms because I leave the camera and telephoto lens on the monopod and it keeps my arms and shoulders from getting tired carrying the camera all day.
