Photography

I remember back when I was first starting out with photography, one of my friends who had more experience than I did kept telling me about how he loved RAW images. I would sort of smile and nod and act as if I knew what he was talking about. I guess I was slightly embarrassed […]

Back button focus is all the rage with both amateur and professional photographers alike. It essentially removes the auto focus function from the shutter button. By default, when the shutter button is pressed half way down on Canon cameras, the camera meters the scene, auto focuses the lens and chooses a white balance. If the […]

This is an excellent question and one that many of us have asked ourselves over the years. Going into business for yourself is an exciting proposition. It means that you’ll be your own boss, find your own customers and call your own shots. The only problem with all that freedom is the risk that comes […]

Question: I own a Canon Rebel T3i as well as a Canon Rebel T7i and I am interested in taking some night photography. My problem is that I can’t figure out how to set the shutter speed for longer than 30 seconds. That’s all it goes. How do I set the shutter speed for longer […]

I’ll discuss two things in this post. First I’ll talk about how to charge your T7i camera battery and then I’ll talk about how to go about installing it and removing it from the camera itself.

That and extra batteries, but I already covered batteries in my last post. Today, I’d like to talk about data cards for your Canon T7i, otherwise known as […]

What I share in this post isn’t only valid for the T7i (800D), it’s also just as valid for the T3i, T4i, T5i, T6i and I’m sure the yet to be released T8i. The flip-out screens all work pretty much the same way with these cameras. As a matter of fact, if your camera, no […]
