We live in a golden age of photography - accessible, instantly gratifying, and free (once the kit's paid for). Whether you own a smartphone, a budget compact camera or a high-end mirrorless setup, being able to capture moments and freeze them forever is a rare privilege. Online, we can browse the work of our favourite photographers, travel vicariously to exotic locations, or spend time minutely examining the detail of bird's feather or the hexagonal geometry of a fly's eye.
