I use Aperture Priority for most of my shooting. I have my camera set to this pretty much all the time. I prefer this setting because it gives me a very simple method for controlling the light that comes through my lens, without having to concern myself too much with shutter speed or ISO. Of […]

What is Shutter Speed? How Does it Work?
I talk to a lot of newer, less experienced photographers and whenever we get to the topic of the different priority modes on a camera, shutter speed comes up as one of the most popular. While many budding photographers have heard of shutter priority mode, many don’t quite grasp what it does or what it’s […]
Working With the Exposure Triangle to Adjust Scene Brightness
I’ve been involved with photography for over 30 years. I began in the old days while working with my very first point and shoot camera and have evolved with the changes in the industry every step of the way. Talk about how time goes by. I can remember hanging out with my fiends, taking photos […]
What Should I Look For When Buying a Camera?
This is probably one of the most common questions I get asked regarding the realm of photography. Throughout my life, I’ve known tons of people who have wanted to get involved with photography and so many of them, knowing that I love this hobby, ask me what they should be looking at when purchasing a […]
Use Multiple Lenses For Better Photography
If you’re like me, you’ve got one lens for your DSLR camera. It’s probably the kit lens that came with the camera when you bought it. When I purchased my Canon Rebel T3i many years ago, I ordered it with the 18-135mm kit lens. I thought that lens was a step up from the 18-55mm. […]

I’ll use Canon cameras as an example here, because that’s what I’ve got. If you look at the back of your Canon DSLR camera, you’ll likely see a few buttons. One of those buttons probably has a Q written on it. If you press that button while in Live View, you’ll see the menu that […]
Photography Basics: Shutter Speed, Aperture & ISO
I was camping this weekend with a few people and we got into a conversation about photography. One of the people is totally into the hobby, but isn’t too well versed with the technical side of things yet. She takes awesome photos and has a really good handle on composition and lighting, but tends to […]
What are the Limits When it Comes to Focusing My Lens?
This is a great question. I love getting into the nitty-gritty of camera lenses and I enjoy looking at the specs of each lens I come across. A long time ago, I taught myself what those specs actually mean and I’ve been rewarded with knowing what I’m talking about and looking at ever since. For […]

The Real Reason to Use Aperture Priority Mode
Let’s face it. Most people who own DSLR cameras out in this world are amateurs. And within that group of amateur photographers are a whole bunch of people who really don’t know that much about photography itself or how their cameras work. I used to be one of these people, so I speak from experience. […]
