"A tripod is essential for sunset photography as small apertures can mean longer exposure times and hand-holding the shot can result in shake. You need a strong tripod that offers stability but if it's too heavy it'll be hard to carry. A model such as those you'll find in Vanguard's Alta Pro
range, which includes the award-winning Alta Pro 263AT, are ideal as they are light-weight but have features such as spiked feet to keep your tripod fixed and steady. They also have a Multi-Angle Central Column (MACC) System which allows users to move the central column from zero to 180-degree angles in variable vertical and horizontal positions which gives you more shooting options.

Danish photographer Nicolai Howalt is among other things, also known for the grittiness in some of his previous work. On this occasion, he puts a human face on it, and a backstory that deals with dreams, sex, and identity, to match.
Although the 'Boxer" series and consequent book were originally presented back in 2003, it has now been re-edited and republished by HJØRRING of Denmark.
The book contains 78 diptych portraits of moderately to heavily smashed up amateur Boxers and their stories. The preface is written by author Edward Bunker (Dog eat dog, Little Boy Blue). The photographs are also available at Howalts own online gallery.
