Hello, and welcome! My name is Samantha Decker and I will be blogging here about all things photography related. If you’re looking for up-to-the minute news on gear, you’ve come to the wrong place, but I will share my thoughts on developments in the photography world. This being the first post of Through the Glass, I thought I might lay out just a little of what you can expect from me in the months to come on this new blog:
How to make ordinary shots more interesting:
How to take better shots of your pets:
My thoughts on gear and other trending developments in the photography world (because who wouldn’t want to hear yet another random person’s opinions?):
And for topics I don’t know as much about, (such as astrophotography), I’ll showcase the work of others and direct you to other fine photography blogs.
