This is a collection of pieces of advice to make your everyday photos more enjoyable to look at; a little more with every post. These are only bits which do not claim to be complete, but are rather all you need to know at that moment.
I assume my readers are non-professionals who are interested in capturing their memories in the way they have experienced them, instead of how their camera device automatically suggests an output, thereby speaking of using anything from a mobile phone to an auto-set DSLR.

Anonymous asked: Hello, could you please tell me what is the best way to clean my dslr's lens? Should I use the same kind of cloth that I use to clean my glasses? or should I use something else?
I actually use a fine microfibre cloth (same as glasses-cleaning) to clean the filter. Make it damp if you need to.
It is advisable to put a UV/Haze filter over any lens you have and leave it there at all times. It does not have to be expensive and you do not have to be too cautious cleaning it. You can even use your finger or blow dust off. Large particles of dust might show of as large dark dots on the photos you take.
Because: Be careful about the lens’ original surface! It has a shimmering hard film on top that you should never scratch. Also, breathing upon the surface to moisten it is supposed to corrode it.
