Using Reflector For Shady/Uneven Outdoor Lighting

I have a really good tip for you today. If you’ve ever been in the type of situation where you’ve tried to photograph someone outside in mixed sunlight and shade, you most likely know the difficulties of which I’m about to refer. Let’s say you’ve got light streaming through some trees and your subject is […]

I’ve Got Dust on My Camera Sensor – How Can I Clean It?

Question: I’ve been noticing some small black spots in my photos and after thoroughly cleaning both ends of my lens, I’m convinced that the dirt is on the camera sensor itself. The lens is as clean as it can be, so that’s not the problem. Also, these black spots recently appeared, so it’s not like […]

Bracketing with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is an incredibly awesome camera. I’ve used this camera on a number of occasions and continue to be impressed by it. Besides the quality of photos it’s able to capture, there are a few features that I’ve totally fallen in love with. One of these features has to do […]

The Canon 24mm f/2.8 is a Very Sharp Prime Lens

I’m having a ball with my new Canon 24mm f/2.8 prime lens. It seems to be the perfect lens to carry around while photographing pretty much anything. I’m still testing it out, so I’m finding myself taking random shots all over my property. Today, I stopped near our front garden and captured a few flowers […]

Canon Rebel T7i One-Shot Focus vs. Continuous Auto Focus

Obviously, probably the most important aspect of any good photograph is whether or not a subject is in focus. Without that, the image is no good. Beyond general focusing, there’s targeted focusing, which is important, but not as important as the photo being sharp all over. Targeted focusing is more of a stylistic consideration. Back […]

Why Use Your Camera’s Full Manual Mode?

Full manual mode means full control. When you shoot in manual, you’re essentially telling the camera what aperture and shutter speed to use. You’re dictating what kind of depth of field your photos will exhibit as well as how much motion blur they will include. You can either set your ISO to automatic or you […]

How to Best Work with Light in Your Photography

There’s a lot that goes into photography. As you gain experience, you may not even notice what you put into it. Think about composition for instance. When was the last time you really thought about composition? I’m not sure I can remember my last time. That’s not to say that I don’t think about it. […]

How to Set Up Canon Rebel T7i (800D) to Shoot Video

Question: I’d like to start getting into shooting more video and I’m not sure how to set my Canon Rebel T7i up for it. I know I can set it to Auto mode and then just shoot the video, but I keep reading about how video should be captured in Manual mode. And then I’m […]

Remote Shutter Releases are the BEST For Bulb Mode!

I’ve been toying with some very long exposure shots for night time photography and I thought I’d report back here to tell you what I’ve been learning. I absolutely love long exposure photography and I think that everyone who has a DSLR or mirrorless camera should try it out. It can definitely expand your repertoire. […]

What’s the Best Stabilizer to Buy for DSLR Cameras?

Question: This entire scene has gotten crazy. Back in 2001 when I first began searching for camera stabilizers, I think there was one “Steadicam” on the market and it cost around $800. Although I wanted it badly, I wasn’t about to pay that much for it and I basically forgot all about my horribly shot […]
