One way to improve your photography is to challenge yourself with a photo assignment. I’ve tired the “photo a day” challenges and find them to be overwhelming. Who has time to go out and take a picture every day? Try a weekly challenge instead. A weekly challenge gives you 7 days to create a photo for an assignment. Here is my 52-week challenge for 2017 and if you decide to participate post your image on Facebook and tag #photodavem in your images! Read more 2017 Weekly Photo Challenge

Sony has announced a new A6500 Mirrorless camera. This came as a surprise to me since they announced the A6300 a mere 8 months ago. The A6500 does not appear to be a directly replacement for the A6300, but rather a step above by offering in camera 5-axis stabilization (similar to the A7II series bodies), a touchscreen and faster processor for about $400 more than the A6300.
