My New Lightroom Course Is Here!
Over the years, I’ve had constant requests to produce a video series covering post-processing – so I’m finally doing it!
For the past 4 1/2 months, I’ve been working on the first of my Lightroom Video Workshop Series and it’s finally done!
And I think it’ll blow your mind 🙂
The first course is all about the Library Module, File Handling, and Importing. It includes 30 regular
In this video, I grab my new Nikon D780 and take you step by step through how I set up the menus. I show you all the settings I change (and recommend) as well as discussing why I don’t change others. Plus, I’ll also talk about WHY I set things the way I do and how these menu settings can impact your photography in the field. Also, please note that …
In this episode we continue our conversation from Episode 3 about VR use – this time discussing which shutter speeds work best and which ones to avoid.
From there, it’s off to the Q&A section where we tackle a common technique question with Back Button AF, decide if you should set your camera to sRGB or Adobe RGB, and finally talk about when to use a tripod vs a monopod. …
Let’s face it – sometimes we need to crop. However, when you’re faced with a photo in the viewfinder that’s gonna need an appointment with the crop tool, you gotta be careful. Noise is a tricky thing and it’s especially hard on images where cropping is required.
In this video, we’ll take a look at why your personal maximum ISO for your camera may be too high if the image …
In this episode, we’ll talk about the importance of knowing when to stop shooting and when to keep going. From there, we’ll talk about when it’s time to upgrade to mirrorless, if you should keep your boxes (yeah, it’s weird), and if you should use VR / Stabilization when using a tripod.
Lots of great stuff this time, so grab a warm drink, your favorite earbuds, and take a listen. …
Do you have your camera set to automatically add copyright information to your images? If not, why not? Digital theft is at an all time high and adding copyright data to your images can add another layer of protection in the event of a dispute.
However, it’s important to know the correct way to add the information to give yourself maximum protection – and most people do it wrong. In …
It’s here – podcast #2!
In this episode, we’ll start with a quick followup to episode #1 to add a little clarification to my Z series analysis and shadow pulling. Then we’ll jump to a quick tip that will cover a simple but effective tip that’s sure to help minimize mistakes in the field.
In the Q&A section, we’ll talk about gear and locations for Yellowstone National Park, then we’ll …
This video is a little different. I was invited to be a keynote speaker for the Chicago Area Photography School and this is the presentation I gave. Yes, it’s long – about 2 1/2 hours – but it’s jam-packed with tips, techniques, and advice.
When I put this presentation together, I chose topics and techniques that have had the biggest impact on my own photography – as well as the …
Yup – I’m doing podcasts now!
In this first episode, I’ll share a secret I use for better shadow pulling, plus we have our first Q&A session! This episode’s questions will tackle my feelings on used gear, how aspect ratios work, and what I currently think of the Nikon Z cameras for wildlife photography (brace yourself).
Also, I’d love to hear your feedback in the comment section below 😀
Please …
It was evening on the Chobe River in Botswana, Africa. The day had been a good one, bursting at the seams with all manner of wildlife. We were in the final, golden hour of it, had our game faces on, and our cameras at the ready.
As our flat-bottom boat glided through the water, all eyes were glued to the shoreline with keen interest, seeking our next photographic victim.
