Photography Cheat Sheets – ExpertPhotography
A friend of mine was asking me advice on which lens she should buy the other day and my standard reply was ‘get a 50mm 1.8, unless you’re shooting on Nikon, in which you should get a 35mm as the angle will work better on your crop sensor’, to which she replied, ‘what’s a crop sensor?’ The lack of knowledge about the type of camera surprised me, but looking back, I remember when I didn’t know either.

10 Best Weatherproof Camera Bags in 2023
Protecting our expensive equipment from the elements is one of the most important factors when considering a new camera bag. Today, we find camera bags with increasingly competent weatherproofing materials and coatings. These materials give us ease of mind if caught somewhere without cover. If these materials aren’t up to the task of ensuring water doesn’t get in, most camera bags now provide weatherproof covers. These covers ensure our gear is kept as dry as possible, even in sudden downpours.
X Best Lightweight Camera Bags in 2023

This allows you to shoot longer without any distractions or discomfort. For this list, we will look at the top camera bags on the market today and see how they weigh up. Any backpack under 1.5kg (3.3lbs) should be lightweight. This is the lighter end of the standard camera bag scale without seriously sacrificing functionality.
X Best Roll Top Camera Bags in 2023
Roll-top camera backpacks take their styling cues from the world of outdoor pursuits. Roll-tops find their origins in waterproof stuff sacks beloved of watersports enthusiasts. When applied to camera backpacks, the roll top often contributes to weather-resistance. And it offers some possibility for expanding the carrying capacity. Although this usually comes at the cost of some weatherproofing. Roll-top camera backpacks usually offer two main sections. One with access through the roll top.

Venusaur 2 by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
Erika and I made our way up a steep bank, the air was beginning to smell damp as we ventured deeper into the forest. Dappled light littered the floor and small clouds of insects danced in the streams of light. We came over a small hill when I saw it. Chewing on some ferns and surrounded by butterflies was a very large Venusaur. If I had to guess, It was roughly 7-8ft tall, even taller if you counted the enormous flower erupting from its back.
Exeggutor by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
My feet splashed through the shallow waters of the stream as I tried to locate my position on my satellite navigation. I had been allowed by Erika to explore the sanctuary located on the remote island of the coast of Route 14. With the help of the League, the island had been set up as a safe zone for many rare and unique Pokemon. Suddenly, the air was filled with a putrid smell. It was like sulphur mixed with fomenting fruit. I recognised it immediately, I must be close to an Exeggutor.
Fakemon- Canonpita Carnoflora by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
More Fakemon for the Equas Region! Canonpita are carnivorous plants that hang from jungle trees. When threatened they can fire their toothy heads at unsuspecting enemies! Carnoflora are vicious Pokemon that are not to be messed with, firing powerful blasts from their cannon-like arms! Hope you like these one's guys! - Based around Couroupita or (cannonball trees), these are kind of like my Exeggutor
Fakemon- Sharkin, Shareef and Sharazor
More Fakemon for the Equas Region! Sharkin live amongst the coral, zapping any predators that get too close. Shareef are lightning-fast predators that swim around the reefs in search of their next meal! Sharazor can cut through the water with ease, using their electrical senses to feel prey from up to a mile away! - Based on Reef Sharks, Blue Sharks and Thresher Sharks Hope you like these one's guys!
Fakemon- Sharkata
Some more Fakemon for the Equas region! Sharkata is the evolution of Sharpedo when traded holding 'Deep-Sea Kelp' that can only be found floating in the open ocean. - The design is based on a Catamaran. I had the idea after seeing Shapedo being used as a jet ski in S&M. Hope you like it!
Bulbasaur 2 by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
I sat on the wooden moss speckled deck overlooking a small lake, surrounded by a thick redwood forest. I had been invited by Fuchsia’s resident Gym leader Erika to review a new sanctuary she had started on an island off the coast of Route 14. Though the restricted areas in the Safari Zone had served as a haven to many species, the population growth was beginning to put a strain on the ecosystem of the park. So, she decided to create the sanctuary.
Charmander 2 Watermarked
It was 7am when the flames were finally extinguished. I had been called in around midnight to aid firefighters with evacuating wild Pokemon from an enormous wildfire after one of the men had been badly stung due to mishandling a Nidoran. When I arrived the air was thick with smoke, soot fell from above and an orange hue bounced off the clouds that blocked out the night sky. The inferno was intense, even standing at a distance I could feel the heat on my skin.
Squirtle 2 by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
I was perched on a large flat rock stretched out across a somewhat scratchy blanket. I was lucky enough to spend the day at the private coastline of the 'Royal Pokemon Academy' south-west of Pallet town where a number of rare and unusual Pokemon were protected from a variety of poachers. I looked through my binoculars in hopes of spying something, when I suddenly felt something tugging at the blanket. I looked down to see a small-scaled claw reaching for my sandwiches.
Wartortle 2 by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
A while ago, I had decided to have a day off and take a trip down to the coast. I loved to take some time, take my sketchbook and admire some of the wild water Pokemon in the area. The open rock pools were well known for trapping an assortment of wild water-type Pokemon and this particular area was popular with trainers. I soon realized that I wasn't the only one there that day when I saw a young woman moving from one pool to the next. I waved and we ended up talking, introducing herself as Iris.
Ivysaur 2 by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
I was deep in the thick forest of the Safari Zone hills. We had passed into the restricted zone early that morning and now the sun hung high in the sky. The air was thick and smelt of damp lush jungle. I was accompanied by my tracking companion Willow, a highly-skilled Poke-botanist. She had worked in the Fuchsia Gym gardens for over six years now and was well versed in a variety of Grass Type Pokemon.
Charmeleon 2 by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
Published: 4 hours ago pokemonpokemonzoologycharmeleonrealismrealisticrealisticpokemonreallifejoshuadunlop I had a call from a Cinnabar Island ranger who said there had been reports of a mysterious fire type Pokemon in the area. I was making my way down a, particularly steep slope when I heard a distant call. It was like a growling yelp that echoed off the sandstone walls. I knew that I would need to be careful, fire types were notoriously aggressive to humans in the wild.
Fakemon - Equian Omanyte and Omastar
Just a bit more fun, don’t worry, I’m still working on the starter remakes When scientists brought Pokemon back from the dead using rare fossils fragments, the rock within the samples infused with the DNA. This made them all part rock type and created Pokemon that looked very different to their ancestors.
Tangela by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
Tangela, also known as the 'Medusa plant' is a distant relative to succulents and usually live in thick undergrowth or brambles. They have strong vines that grow from its dark onion-like body which it uses for protection against predators. Their 'feet' are actually flattened vines that they use to move around when it's not tangled somewhere for safety. They have tiny thorns covering their vines that secrete a poison when they are scared. Their sting causes a nasty rash to anyone who touches it.
Fakemon - Harpy Eagle Gyphons
I have another line of Fakemon for you! One of my favorite mythological creatures is a Gryphon so I wanted to combine it with the South American Harpy Eagle! (I know, I could have combined a Harpy with a Harpy Eagle but I thought this looked cooler ) They are my pseudo legendaries (like Dratini etc) and they are Steel/Flying-types. Bred and tamed by the ancient people of Equas, they are the guardians of the entrance of the now lost, City of Azure.
Equian Lapras by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
You know what I think they should have, I personally think Pokemon somewhat had Subtle Nessie Vibes when it comes to Lugia (both 2000 Movie & Silver Game) & that 1 Episode from the Pokemon Anime of the Lighthouse by using a Giant Dragonite. It would make sense if they pull this beautiful stunt yet they didn't. Great drawing nonetheless, it does resemble more of a Plesiosaur.
Electrode 2 (for print)
Unknown to its original design team, one of the coders had slipped in a hidden subroutine within Voltorb's code. It triggered the Pokemon to go through a transformation when it reached a certain strength. Allowing it to, in essence, evolve. Using the same 3D printing technology it uses to reproduce, Voltorb can internally advance itself, boosting its weapons system, battery capacity, and CPU.
Voltorb by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
Voltorb are extremely dangerous artificial Pokemon. A remnant of the old war, it was designed to be, essentially, a living bomb. They wanted to create a weapon that could move and think its way into secure locations. Once at its target, it creates a powerful electromagnetic detonation that leaves a wake of destruction. The Voltorb, undamaged due to its thick metal shell, can leave the area intact. It was the perfect weapon. They made two fundamental mistakes.

Farfetch'd by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
My canoe glided smoothly across the surface on the water. It wasn't long before I found what I was looking for, wild giant Kantonian Green Onions growing on the riverside. Suddenly I heard the sound of beating wings, I pulled out my binoculars and low and behold, a Farfetch'd landed on the river surface. Farfetch'd are very unique birds as they have a prehensile claw covered by a large feather on their wing. These are a feature of their ancestors but are unique to Farfetch'd.
Porygon by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
Porygon was the first true A.I system created by humanity. Originally designed by Silph.co, they aimed to develop a device that allowed Pokemon to train against an artificial opponent. They created the Porygon.1. Known at the time as the Artificial Pokemon Battle System or A.P.B.S. It was a holographic 'hard light' battle system. State of the art for the time. Combining force-field technology with holographic effects, essentially creating a self-sustaining, solid projection.
Wigglytuff by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
I sat in a sun-dappled glade amongst the long green grass. Small insects danced in the air as I pulled out my lunch. The air was fresh and distant birds called to one another. As I leaned in to take a bite of my marmalade sandwich when a small chirp came from over my right shoulder. I slowly turned around to see two large pink ears curiously flopping back and forth. It was a Wigglytuff. Sniffing the air it leaned onto my shoulder, its big blueish-green eyes locked onto the sandwich in my hand.
Pangea plug! by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
I’m currently developing a concept for a game called Pangea where humans and dinosaurs live along side each other. It was inspired by Ark and Dinotopia, but I wanted to find a middle ground. I want it to have a Dinotopia esc civilisation, but with building and battle elements like with Ark. I plan to keep the dinosaurs as close to scientifically accurate as possible with only a few flairs based on domestication and selective breeding.

Clefable by JoshuaDunlop on DeviantArt
I looked out across the rolling hills from high atop Mt.Moon. Clouds crawled up the forest by cool winds from the west. I had made a small camp under a large pine tree and had started to prepare my lunch over a small campfire. As I cut up a small loaf of bread I heard something on the wind. A soft singing like noise came from the bushes ahead of me followed by the sound of gently breaking twigs. I stayed quiet when suddenly a pinecone flew out and bounced next to me.

Dinosaur Mount - Greyscale
I was playing around with this yesterday! I’ve recently got into Ark Survival on my PS4 but as much as I love the gameplay (Taming, Hunting, Building, Resource gathering), I find the style and overall aesthetic a bit disappointing and started fantasising about a game that had the same survival mechanics as Ark, but with the graphics of ‘The Isle’ or something similar.

You can read my 10 favourite Ansel Adams quotes here.
