Dull, flat light is a common culprit when it comes to unimpressive wildlife and landscape photos, even if you nailed composition and focus. This straightforward tutorial from the PHLOG Photography YouTube channel demonstrates a post-processing technique for making an eye-popping fix with a bright Golden-Hour effect.

BosStrap’s out-of-the-box engineering is said to solve many of the inherent disadvantages of across-the-shoulder camera straps. Visually BosStrap stands out because it does not require a cumbersome and roaming shoulder pad for a gear laden photographer to have all-day comfort. BosStrap’s unique approach relies on a 1-1/2” wide nylon belt to distribute the weight of the camera on your shoulder, and a BosTail that remains attached to the camera. A TriggerLoc on the BosStrap attaches to a metal ring on the BosTail. In use the camera slides smoothly up to your eye; at rest the camera sits at your hip. By using the left camera strap lug as an attachment point, the tripod socket is always available. Moving between hand-held shooting and a tripod is a breeze. Professional photographers, who tested the BosStrap system under studio and field conditions, give it exceptionally high reviews. BosStrap is entirely made with USA parts and labor.

BosStrap has recently expanded it line of Sliding Sling Straps with the introduction of two new Light Weight versions and a unique Ultra light Hand Band. Light weight versions of Generation 3 and the One Piece styles were created as a result of customer feedback asking for a BosStrap to use with lighter, smaller cameras.

With a BosTail, you can permanently free up your tripod attachment socket and possibly avoid serious damage to your camera. BosTails can be used with any sling style camera strap. BosTails include a slip lock and a nickel plated, metal ring which is permanently attached to the BosTail. BosTails can be adjusted from 2" to 4" to accommodate different camera body heights and carrying configurations.

A BosTail attaches to the left side eyelet or left strap lug depending on the camera body. On cameras that have eyelets with triangular split rings, attach the BosTail to the left side split ring. If your camera comes equipped with a lug for its strap, simply remove the camera strap and install the BosTail on the left side lug. A BosTail never needs to be removed from the camera body. Each camera body should have its own BosTail.

Boudoir imagery is a unique subset of portraiture that's growing in popularity as more and more photographers learn how easy it is to pursue with the equipment they already own in the comfort of their home. There's no need for a decked-out studio or complex-and-expensive lighting gear if you understand how to take advantage of natural illumination streaming through a window.

Earlier this month we featured a quick boudoir photography tutorial for beginners from  Patrick's Boudoir Photography Secrets, demonstrating a simple way to capture sensuous photos with basic gear and ambient light. Today Patrick is back again with a similar window-lighting technique—this time  with a sitting floor pose that is very flattering for models of all body types.

Last week we featured a quick primer from the Patrick's Boudoir YouTube channel, demonstrating how inexperienced shooters can capture alluring high-contrast images with a minimum of fuss. Patrick is back again today, this time with a quick tutorial using a seductive kneeling couch pose illuminated by window light.
