How to Set the Metering Mode on a Canon Rebel T3i (600D)

Before I begin, I’d like to let you know that this post isn’t only good for the T3i (600D), it’s also good for the T2i, T4i, T5i, T6i and the T7i. Oh yeah, and probably the as of yet to be released T8i. The settings in the menu area for this particular setting are almost […]

How Can I Stop Lens Flares?

Question: It seems like I’m getting a lot of lens flares in both my photography and video lately. I don’t know why this is happening. For the most part, it’s because of the sun, but I’m finding that it’s also because of things the sun is reflecting off of, such as cars, windows and other […]

I’ve been thinking lately about how I shoot at night and I figured it would be a good idea to share some of those thoughts here for you. Night photography isn’t the easiest of all types of photography and if you can learn a few tried and true methods for obtaining the best results, you’ll […]

My Sigma 50-500mm Lens

Comment from a reader: This photo might not seem like much, but I was absolutely amazed with it. I took this photo from Mount Loretto, a beach on Staten Island.

How to Clean Your DSLR Camera’s Sensor

Have you ever found yourself taking photo after photo with the same exact weird little spot in each shot? I actually experienced this recently, but luckily, the cause of the spot was a small splash of dirty water that flung itself onto my camera lens. I only took three or four photos with the water […]

Changing Scene Brightness in Long Exposure Night Photography

I think long exposure night photography is one of the most interesting types of photography out there. If you think about it, when you look at a photo that’s been captured over five seconds, fifteen seconds, thirty seconds or longer, you’re essentially looking at a span of time that’s been compressed into a split second. […]

Photography Tip: Resetting Your Camera After a Photo Shoot

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever picked up your camera after not using it for a while and started taking photos with it? After you took those photos (or in the middle of taking them), did you smack your head in the realization that a few of your settings were off? Not […]

Why I Love Square Photographs

There’s something about square photographs that warms the cockles of my heart. I’m not sure what it is. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been seeing landscape oriented photos for most of my life and I’m getting tired of them or maybe it’s because square photos just seem more artistic. I’m not sure. Whatever it is, I […]
