PC-017: ISO - A Balancing Act
June 10, 2019 10:00 - 2 minutes - 1.75 MBThere are many different ways to approach your ISO setting. In rare cases, some photographers will deliberately use high ISO settings to achieve an old-fashioned, grainy look. On the other end of the spectrum, you have photographers like Edward Henry Weston. He has been called one of the most influential photographers of the early 20th century, and he was famous for using revolutionary films with speeds that would have been equivalent to ISO 16 by today’s standards. Most photographers, mys...

PC-016: The Problem with ISO
June 03, 2019 10:00 - 1 minute - 1.28 MBThe problem with ISO – in both film and digital photography – is that the higher you go, the more “grain” or “noise” the final image will have. In film, this is caused by larger grains of silver halide becoming more visible to the naked eye. In our digital sensors, the noise is caused by a high signal to noise ratio. That means that when you increase your ISO setting, you’re amplifying your sensor’s ability to absorb light. However, as the light sensitivity increases so does the sensor’s mar...
WM-157: The Dangers of Interrupting a Creative
May 29, 2019 10:00 - 7 minutes - 4.14 MB“Whatcha doing?” That’s all it takes. If you do any kind of creative work, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s those interruptions that break into whatever it is that you happen to be in deep thought about, completely derailing a train of thought that you’ve spent minutes or hours building. Photographers, writers, even programmers — we all have our stories about interrupted trains of thought. The hardest part of it is, the people responsible for the derails are all well-me...
PC-015: What is ISO?
May 27, 2019 10:00 - 1 minute - 1.55 MBIf you think of exposure like a triangle, shutter speed and aperture are two points on that triangle. ISO is the third – and least understood – point. Throughout history, ISO has been called by many names – ASA, GE, DIN and more – but in 1974, the International Organization for Standardization consolidated the ASA and DIN scales into the ISO scale. Like ASA and other designations before that, ISO is a way to measure the sensitivity of film. With digital cameras, it’s a way to measure the sen...
PC-014: Zoo Photography: Take the Right Lenses
May 24, 2019 12:00 - 56 seconds - 1.18 MBIf you plan to spend the whole day at the zoo, you probably don’t want to lug around a large equipment bag. You’ll need two things from your lenses: A wide aperture, and the ability to zoom in on faraway animals. The wide aperture is particularly important because the narrow depth of field will let you blur fences and other distracting elements. Choose lenses that will give you both wide apertures and a range of focal points to minimize the amount of gear you need to take. Get more Photogr...
WM-156: Physical Wellness as it Relates to Creative Wellness
May 22, 2019 16:22 - 8 minutes - 4.76 MBIt’s a universal truth: In order to be at your creative best, you need to be at your physical best. It’s something that I’ve heard across so many mediums. Everyone from photographers to writers say that they’re more productive, more creative and more inspired when they’re feeling good. I’ve found that it’s true and I’ll bet that you have, too. When we don’t feel right, we just don’t get much done. The hard part is, photography isn’t necessarily an athletic activity. Sure, there will be tim...
PC-013: Zoo Photography: Choose the Right Day and Time
May 20, 2019 15:05 - 1 minute - 1.35 MBThe biggest mistake that some photographers make is going to the zoo on a weekend, during the middle of the day. If you pick the wrong time to go, you’ll spend an undue amount of time-fighting crowds to take photos of animals that are sleeping in a shady spot. Try to plan your trip for a weekday, and if possible, visit in the early morning or towards evening. You’ll experience fewer crowds, and the animals are likely to be more active, too. Morning and evening sunlight will also help you g...
