I get asked which aperture setting is the best for landscape photographs a lot and the answer is simple. It’s probably around f/8, f/11 or f/16, depending on how close the closest object you’d like to keep in focus is. There’s actually a table that can help you calculate the distance of how far you […]

What’s the Most Important Aspect of Photography?
Light. Light is the most important aspect of photography. By far. If you think about it, light is what the camera’s sensor absorbs to create the actual image, but beyond that, it’s light that can make or break a shot. Think about the different types of light different times of day can offer. Morning light […]
How Do Camera Lens Aperture Sizes Compare to One Another?
It’s always a great shock when you see the actual size of a lens aperture. The stops between aperture sizes can be dramatic in actuality, but at times, they don’t look very dramatic at all. If you remember what a “stop” is, you’ll know that for every stop, you either halve or double your exposure. […]
Improve Your Photography by Changing Position
One of the toughest things to change in photography is position. For some reason, the human mind likes to stay put when it makes a decision. As much as we think we change, we stay the same more often then not. While that’s fine in many situations, when it comes to photography, that’s not the […]
How Can I Give a Photo a Star Rating on Canon Rebel T7i (800D)?
Question: I have heard that I’m able to rate photos right inside of my Canon Rebel T7i (800D) and that those star ratings will appear and be searchable and sortable inside of Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. Is this true? If so, how would I go about rating a photo that I took? Answer: I didn’t […]

I will, however, claim that having sharp photos is important. Probably even very important. I suppose it […]

Each one of the websites I list below has something incredible about it. Whether it be the wow factor, the photography itself or the photographer’s outlook on life, I like them […]
How Can I Turn On & Off the Highlight Alerts For Canon Rebel T7i?
Question: I’ve been looking all over for this answer. I’ve seen many videos out there that talk about what’s known as “blinkies” for Canon cameras. These are the highlight alerts or highlight warnings to blink when you review your photos. If one area of a picture is overexposed, the area that’s pure white will blink […]
What is Hyperfocal Distance?
I’ve been bumping into this phrase on the internet lately (for some reason), so I thought I’d write a quick post that discusses exactly what it is. Many of you have never heard of “Hyperfocal Distance” before because it’s a step beyond regular camera focus and depth of field, but it’s actually quite an important […]
Where to Focus When Taking Landscape Photos
If you’re interested in taking landscape photos, you probably already know that these photos should be sharp from front to back. Shallow depths of field and creative blur is best left to artistic, more close up photography. When it comes to landscape, the viewer wants to, and expects to see the blade of grass that’s […]
