#574 In this episode of the podcast, I got brutally honest about an uncomfortable truth many photographers—myself included—often avoid: believing new gear will instantly make us better photographers. I dove into why so many of us, at some point, fixate on the idea that lack of equipment stands between us and the images we want to create. Drawing from my own experiences—like nearly convincing myself to buy a $7,500 Fujifilm GFX100 medium format camera after I left wedding photography—I shared how easy it is to fall into the "gear will fix it" trap, when what I really needed was to spend more time shooting.I challenged listeners (and myself) to rekindle excitement by using the equipment we already own. Whether that's taking a “camera date” or giving ourselves quirky creative assignments, the goal is to reconnect with the fun and freedom of shooting—without the pressure of perfection or the itch for an upgrade.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Gear Myth and Creative Ruts - Raymond explains how photographers often blame their uninspiring work on having outdated or entry-level gear. He shares his own experience almost buying an expensive Fujifilm GFX100, only to realize his creative rut was due to not shooting, not his equipment.What Really Makes a Great Photo? - Instead of megapixels and advanced specs, Raymond outlines the four essential elements of great photography: moment, light, composition, and exposure. He likens the camera to a toaster—it's the photographer's decisions that determine the quality of the image.Practical Steps for Rekindling Creativity - To break out of gear-focused thinking, Raymond suggests simple exercises like going on a “camera date” with the least-used gear or imposing creative constraints. He also stresses the value of learning manual mode and studying light and composition.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTS• Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS): The compulsion to buy new cameras or lenses as a solution to creative blocks or skill limitations; often a distraction from the real means of improvement.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSThink back to your favorite photo you've taken—what role did your gear actually play in the outcome?Have you ever felt creatively stagnant and blamed your equipment? What actions could you take instead?What are some ways you can challenge yourself to see new possibilities with the gear you already own?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

#570 In Today's Episode of the podcast I chat with YOU as I tackle a wide range of listener questions covering every stage of the photography journey. I respond directly to your real-world concerns, offering practical advice and personal insights on topics like preparing for photography trips, finding and owning your unique editing style, breaking into specialized fields such as wedding or food photography, and building a sustainable photography business even when time and energy are limited.KEY TOPICS COVEREDTrip Preparation & Gear Selection - Raymond breaks down how to plan a photography trip, using Alaska as an example. He stresses focusing on desired shots first, packing only essential gear, planning for power and backup needs, and not letting equipment overshadow the enjoyment of the trip.Finding & Owning Your Editing Style - A listener asks about confidence in a "purposefully imperfect" editing style. Raymond encourages embracing what moves you emotionally rather than succumbing to trends. Authenticity, he argues, attracts the right audience and sustains creative motivation.Building a Photography Business with Limitations - Addressing questions about starting (or sustaining) a business with limited time or neurodivergence, Raymond offers practical marketing strategies, including leveraging local business partnerships, automating social media, and focusing on core client beliefs. IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSExposure Compensation: Adjusts camera-determined exposure in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes to lighten or darken images without switching to full manual mode. Essential for managing tricky lighting situations and achieving desired creative effects.Macro Lens: A lens designed for close-up photography that allows for high magnification and sharpness at very close focusing distances, ideal for genres like food photography.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSWhat personal moments or subjects are most important for you to capture on a photography trip, and how might your gear choices support that?How can you refine your editing style to better reflect your personal taste or storytelling goals?If you were to market your photography business, what unique value or emotional connection would you offer your ideal client?How might you balance career ambitions with personal well-being or time constraints?RESOURCES:Check out the food photography channel: Tin House StudioSocial media scheduling tools: SocialBee, Buffer, Hootsuite, and PlanolySign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

#561 John Kenny is a dedicated photographer based in rural England who shares his journey from picking up a camera for a family trip to building a portrait and headshot business. The conversation highlights John's transition from landscape to portrait and headshot photography, underlining the importance of hands-on learning, continual practice, and client communication. KEY TOPICS COVEREDGetting Started and Early Learning - John's experiences underscore the importance of learning manual settings, understanding light, and learning from mistakes rather than relying solely on equipment.Building a Photography Business - The pivot from landscapes to portraits taught John that technical skill must be paired with people skills, client feedback, and creative planning for portrait success.Community and Growth - Engaging with photography communities, drawing inspiration from other creatives, and pursuing personal projects help accelerate development and confidence.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSManual Mode: Complete control over camera settings for creative results.Previsualization: Planning an image before capturing it, crucial for impactful photos.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow did your photography motivations change with experience?What role has community played in your learning?Which personal project would challenge you most?RESOURCES:Visit John Kenny's Website - https://www.johnkennyphotography.com/Follow John Kenny on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnkenny_photography/The Great British Photography Challenge (BBC) - https://tv.apple.com/us/show/the-great-british-photography-challenge/Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.com Download your free copy of46 Creative Photo Ideas to Get You Out of a Rutat https://creativeimageideas.com/Connect with Raymond!

#560 In this special “Workshop Episode” of the podcast, I, Raymond Hatfield, share my thoughts and experiences fresh off hosting our very first in-person workshop in Chicago. After nine years of connecting with listeners online, I finally brought together members of our community for a full day focused on photography, education, and camaraderie. This episode is a personal reflection on how meaningful it was to see faces behind the names, and why getting together in person can be a game-changer for learning and growth.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Power of In-Person Workshops - Bringing listeners together in Chicago broke down the walls of digital connection. Everyone experienced firsthand how learning alongside others, asking questions in real time, and building bonds can accelerate growth in ways online learning rarely can. I saw people relax, open up, and walk away with real friendships and new confidence.Foundational Skills: Light, Composition, and Camera Settings - I designed the content to help both beginners and experienced photographers by focusing on the essentials—how to use your camera, how to “see” light, and how to compose compelling images. I shared personal images, good and bad, to spark discussion, and guided everyone through hands-on practice, including a photo walk with a model.Streamlining Editing with Imagen AI - I talked about my early struggles with editing and how it almost made me quit at the start. Now, with tools like Imagen AI—which learns your editing style and speeds up post-processing—I can spend more time doing what I love: shooting. The workshop gave attendees hands-on exposure to this workflow, empowering them to consider new tech solutions to old challenges.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTS“Getting it Right in Camera”: For me (and now for Kim!), this means achieving the look I want straight out of the camera, not just aiming for the “perfect” exposure meter reading. It's about matching your image to your style and not being afraid to shoot for your own vision.Quality of Light: Quality isn't just about how bright the light is; it's about its softness, direction, and how it shapes your subject. Understanding and controlling these qualities, even when using flashes or dealing with tough outdoor light, can level up any photo.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow have your experiences learning photography in person differed from learning online?What does “getting it right in camera” mean for your own style, and how do you apply this when shooting?Can you share a breakthrough moment you've had with light or composition?What's your biggest editing headache, and could something like Imagen AI help you enjoy photography more?RESOURCES:Check out Imagen AI - beginnerphotopod.com/imagen See Behind-the-Scenes Workshop Photos - https://adobe.ly/44oOIxeSign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

Elizabeth shares her beginnings with a Canon Rebel XS, a journey that transitioned from a poor initial photo attempt to a newfound love for capturing everyday moments. The episode delves into her learning paths, notably through podcasts, and emphasizes the relatable struggles and triumphs of a beginner photographer. KEY TOPICS COVEREDBeginnings of a Photography Journey - Elizabeth describes how a mix of chance and personal necessity led her to pick up the camera again after a year, highlighting how a creative outlet can offer solace and joy amidst life's stresses.Learning Through Audio - A significant portion of Elizabeth's early education in photography came from listening to podcasts while driving, showcasing how non-visual learning can effectively complement a visual art form like photography.Transitioning to Client Work - Elizabeth talks about moving from photographing friends to paid sessions, underlining the importance of creating comfort and connection with subjects, which is a fundamental skill she honed through teaching and customer service roles.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSBack Button Focusing: A technique in which the focus function is removed from the shutter button and assigned to a button on the back of the camera, allowing for more controlled and repeatable focusing.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow can finding a personal creative outlet improve mental health and balance in one's life?In what ways can non-traditional learning methods contribute to skill acquisition in visual arts?RESOURCES:Follow Elizabeth DeVoe on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elizabethdevoephotography/Download your free copy of 46 Creative Photo Ideas to Get You Out of a Rutat https://creativeimageideas.com/ Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

HT2147 - Completely Manual Mode Just as a curiosity, I set my camera to completely Manual Mode to remember what it was like to be a photographer in my youth. Manual focus, manual aperture, manual shutter speed. I have no idea how we ever succeeded with all-manual cameras. I think "f/8 and be there" was not just a strategy, it was a survival mechanism.
To achieve a shallow depth of field in your photographs and create that beautiful background blur (bokeh) effect, follow these steps: 1. Use a Wide Aperture. 2. Use a Large Sensor Camera. 3. Get Closer to Your Subject. 4. Use a Telephoto Lens. 5. Increase the Focal Length. 6. Focus on the Subject. 7. Lower ISO and Use a Tripod. 8. Use ND Filters. 9. Shoot in Aperture Priority or Manual Mode. 10. Experiment and Practice. Remember that the exact settings and techniques may vary depending on your camera and lens, so it's essential to familiarise yourself with your specific gear. Additionally, the distance between your subject and the background, as well as the quality of the background (e.g., distant lights or foliage), can also impact the quality of the bokeh effect. I'm looking to have more guests on the podcast to provide you with more value. With that in mind, if you work within the creative space and would like to have a conversation about what you do and the benefits it offers others, get in touch and let's have a conversation.

Tog-Talk Episode 37: Going ManualHost: Kevin Ahronson, Founder of Hampshire School of PhotographyIn this solo episode of Tog-Talk, Kevin Ahronson addresses a common question for beginner photographers: “How do I move from auto mode to manual mode?” Kevin, with over five decades of photography experience and a seasoned photography teacher, breaks down the basics of manual shooting.Kevin explains that while auto mode is great for beginners, manual mode offers far more control. The challenge is in understanding the “exposure triangle” — the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Kevin carefully walks listeners through each element, illustrating how they work together to achieve correct exposure. He recommends learning in stages, suggesting that aperture priority mode is an ideal stepping stone for photographers looking to gradually transition to manual.Throughout the episode, Kevin emphasises the importance of mastering the camera and choosing the right mode for the job. While manual mode gives full control, aperture priority is often quicker and ideal for many scenarios. Kevin shares personal anecdotes from his years of shooting, including situations where manual mode is indispensable, like wildlife photography, where consistency is key.Towards the end, Kevin recommends his Introduction to Photography Workshop on November 9th, 2024, and discusses his Photography Masterclass, a year-long course designed to develop both technical skills and creative vision.Key Points:•The exposure triangle: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO•The benefits of aperture priority mode as a middle ground•Situations where manual mode excels•Upcoming workshops and masterclasses at Hampshire School of PhotographyLinks:•Introduction to Photography Workshop•Photography MasterclassJoin the Hampshire Photography Network on Facebook for more tips and discussions!Got a Photography Question?

In today's episode of the podcast, I chat with portrait photographer Cris Duncan about mastering light with an umbrella for your flash and creating dimension in your photographs to transform your photographic techniques and storytelling.The Big IdeasEmbrace Manual Mode with Flash: Unlock the true potential of your creativity by understanding how aperture and shutter speed interact with flash, enhancing your artistic expression.Practice Leads to Instinct: With regular implementation, you'll develop an instinctual grasp of lighting, leading to faster setups and more confident shooting.Light Shapes Stories: Learn to control light to sculpt the narrative of your photos, using hierarchy and contrast to direct the viewer's attention where you want it most.Modifiers are Game-changers: Discover affordable tools like umbrellas that soften light, adding depth and nuance to your portraits, and elevate the professional quality of your work.Photography Action Plan:Practice Shutter Speed Variations with Flash: Take your camera and flash unit, set the camera to manual mode, and experiment with various shutter speeds. Observe how changing the shutter speed affects the areas of your photo not illuminated by the flash. Aim to shoot in both bright and dimly lit conditions to see how ambient light interacts with the flash at different shutter speeds, remembering that flash exposure remains constant.Master Lighting Placement: Position your light source at a 45-degree angle from your subject to create appealing shadow and depth, enhancing the three-dimensionality of your portraits. Use a reflector to bounce light onto the shadow side of the subject, experimenting with reflector distance and angle to manipulate shadow density and contrast.Utilize Umbrellas for Soft Lighting: Incorporate a bounce or translucent umbrella into your setup to diffuse and soften the light. Begin by pointing a bounce umbrella towards your subject and adjusting the spread of light accordingly. For larger groups, opt for a bigger umbrella to ensure even light distribution across all individuals, and try using translucent umbrellas for a wider light spread when necessary.Control Contrast with Off-Camera Flash: Detach your flash from the camera and place it off to the side to create more dynamic lighting with visible shadows, which contribute to the form and texture in your photos. Test shooting outdoors with off-camera flash to balance the daylight and flash exposure, giving you more control over the contrast and mood of your images. Learn and Apply Light Hierarchy: Begin by crafting a lighting plan that assigns priority to different elements of your scene, such as main subject illumination, background, and accent lighting, based on your creative objectives.

I have no doubt that you have heard, time and time again, that if you want to improve your photos, and most importantly, get the images that you see in your head to translate to the camera, you need to learn how to shoot in manual mode. But I also know that no matter how many times you hear that, you can feel reluctant to make that final switch to shooting in manual mode. I know because I went through the same time too! And I have taught thousands of students in my Auto to Awesome program who have done the same thing. Which is why today, we're going to dive into exactly WHY making the switch to shooting in manual mode is so darn important, and the difference it can make to your photos. Tune in to learn: What manual mode is, and how this differs from AUTO or the semi automatic modes in your camera Why shooting in manual mode will allow you to get more creative images that look exactly the way you want them to. The reason you are getting inconsistent exposures, and why manual mode puts an end to all of that (and why shooting in manual mode can often be easier!) The everyday lighting situations that your camera can't handle in any of the semi automatic modes (or at least not well or consistently!) and why being able to use trickier lighting situations will make for better photos.

Are you still taking most of your photos on Auto because you're too scared to make the move to shooting in Manual Mode? I'm guessing that you already know that if you want to get those pro-level photos, you need to start to take control of your camera yourself. The good news is that your camera has some features that allow you to begin to very, very gently move away from Auto and start to gain a little more control, which will in turn greatly improve your photos - all whilst you pluck up the courage to switch over to full manual control. And that's what we're going to be doing today - showing you how to move from AUTO to Manual Mode in gentle steps. To help you with choosing your settings, be sure to download my free camera settings cheat sheet that details which aperture, shutter speed and ISO to use in different situations.

Photographers now can take their pick of cameras that can shoot stills fast enough to actually be movies. But Canon's approach to a speedy flagship is arguably the most different from Sony's and Nikon's. Instead of creating a camera that can shoot both fast and high resolution, the Canon EOS R3 uses a less-headline-worthy 24.1-megapixel sensor. Canon is taking a gamble that the photographers who want 30 fps are also the photographers who prioritize exceptional low light performance over high resolution. And, they're trying to sweeten the deal with an autofocus system that will just focus on wherever you're looking. You can view this article and much more with minimal ads in our brand new app for iOS, iPadOS, and Android. Will Canon's gamble pay off, or is the R3 going to lose out to a higher resolution foe? Does the AF in this headline mean autofocus or the Urban Dictionary definition of AF? I spent a few weeks with the Canon R3, shooting everything from wildlife to equestrian to low light portraits. I was blown away by both the autofocus and the noise reduction in the dark. And limited rolling shutter distortion may actually make the R3's top speeds useful. Table of Contents Too Long, Didn't Read Canon EOS R3 Pros and Cons Pros Cons Gear Used Innovations Canon EOS R3 Tech Specs Ergonomics Build Quality Autofocus Eye Control AF Ease of Use Metering Image Quality High ISO Images RAW File Versatility Extra Image Samples Edited Unedited Conclusion Likes Dislikes Too Long, Didn't Read The Canon R3 has a top burst speed that's actually useful because of a great autofocus system and a faster processor to limit rolling shutter. This camera can not only shoot in the dark but print ISO 128,000 and still look good. While the R5 may make more sense for detail work, the R3 is an exceptional low-light and fast-action camera. Canon EOS R3 Pros and Cons Pros Impressive autofocus performance with both action and low light Face recognition works phenomenally, even on birds and in dark scenes Reduced rolling shutter distortion and 1/180 flash sync with electronic shutter Excellent noise reduction at high ISOs Eye Control AF Built-in vertical grip Lots of great controls Weather-sealed Cons Resolution is lower than competitors (but this is partially why low light quality is so great) Higher learning curve Hot shoe adapter recommended for weather-sealing with older flashes Heavier and larger than the R5 and R6 Pricey Gear Used I used the Canon EOS R3 with the 70-200 f4, 85mm f2 Macro, and 16mm f2.8 RF mount lenses. I also paired the camera with both the EL-1 flash and the Flashpoint R2 Zoom Li-Ion III and a wireless trigger. I stashed the gear in the F-Stop Ajna backpack. The reflections you see in some of the night portraits were created with Lensbaby Omni wands. Innovations Canon wasn't the first to announce a sports-focused mirrorless flagship; it competes with the speed of the Sony A1 and the Nikon Z9. But, there's still a lot of innovation here. Canon has included Eye Control AF, which was previously on some of their film cameras. This moves the autofocus point to whatever part of the frame your eye is looking at. The processor that's behind the 30 fps top burst speed also reduces rolling shutter distortion with faster image processing. Canon EOS R3 Tech Specs Adorama lists the following specifications for the Canon EOS R3, shortened for clarity: Lens Mount: Canon RF Sensor Type: 36 x 24mm (Full-Frame) CMOS Sensor Resolution: Actual: 26.7 Megapixel; Effective: 24.1 Megapixels Crop Factor: None Aspect Ratio: 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9 Image File Format: JPEG, Raw, HEIF Bit Depth: 14-Bit Image Stabilization: Sensor-Shift, 5-Axis ISO Sensitivity: Auto, 100 to 102400 (Extended: 50 to 204800) Shutter Speed: Mechanical Shutter: 1/8000 to 30 Second, Bulb Mode Electronic Shutter: 1/64000 to 30 Second in Manual Mode; 1/64000 to 30 Second in Shutter Priority Mode; 1/8000 to 30 Second in Aperture Priority Mode; 1/8000 to 30 Second; in Program Mode; Bulb Mod...

If photography instructors could disable things like aperture priority, shutter priority and fully automatic modes on their students’ cameras, they probably would. It’s helpful for a beginner to become adept at changing exposure on the fly because this is the only real way for budding photographers to learn the intricacies of their cameras. Once your camera’s controls become second nature, however, it’s perfectly acceptable to choose an automatic mode. Learning to shoot in manual mode forms good habits, but always shooting in manual means that you’ll miss split-second shots – a fleeting expression, a charging animal or another intense moment.

Bienvenidos a ERA Magazine, el podcast de la música independiente española. En el capítulo de hoy, un pequeño festival, que a partir de mañana da voz a las bandas emergentes: el Mad Fuzz. Buenos días a todos los amantes de la música indie. Antes de comenzar comentar los servicios de diseño web de ERA Magazine. Si visitas eramagazine.fm/web verás las tres opciones de web que te ofrecemos, con tienda online y sin tienda online, a unos precios muy asequibles. Sobre todo, y lo más importante, aprenderás a gestionar tu propio sitio en internet. Garantizamos tu formación. Vamos, da el siguiente paso, no te conformes sólo con tener un Bandcamp o un perfil de Facebook. ¿No sería mejor controlar la información de tu grupo o discográfica con tu propia web? Mañana, en la sala madrileña Rock Palace, comienza el Mad Fuzz, un festival que pretende dar voz a una serie de bandas emergentes, que en muchas ocasiones no tienen casi visibilidad. El viernes, el cartel estará encabezado por Los Ramblings y el sábado por Fuckaine, dos de los grupos más prometedores de la escena independiente nacional. Manual Mode, Circinus, Zombie Waves, Cives, No Crafts, Supalama, Alien-Dude, Coach Moss y De-Large completan un cartel de un festival para todos los públicos: 14 euros la entrada los dos días u 8 si sólo puedes uno de los dos. Ya no hay excusas. Vamos a hablar con Carlos Bueno, uno de los cabezas visibles de este colectivo. # Carlos, bienvenido al podcast de ERA Magazine. En primer lugar, cuéntanos la historia del Mad Fuzz, cómo surge y por qué. # Y háblanos de los grupos de este año, cómo lo habéis elegido. # Vamos a escuchar alguno de los grupos que tocarán: Manual Mode, con “Too Good To Be True”. # ¿Cuánto público esperáis meter, con cuánto os conformáis para no perder dinero? Lo digo también porque las entradas son muy asequibles para el público. # Pasamos a la segunda canción que has escogido: Fuckaine, con “Expo 92”. # ¿Y hasta dónde queréis que crezca el Mad Fuzz? ¿Os gustaría que fuese un grupo muy grande? # Como Mad Fuzz también organizáis más festivales y ayudáis a los grupos emergentes. Explícanos vuestra importante labor para aquellos que empiezan. # Tercera canción, Los Ramblings con “Instrospectation”. Presentádmela. # Turno de los agradecimientos. ¿A algún colaborador, sponsor, público…? El micro de ERA Magazine lo tienes abierto. # Vamos a finalizar ya con la presentación de la última canción que escucharemos, Alien-Dude, con “Gum Gum”. # Gracias, Carlos, por haber estado en el podcast de ERA Magazine. En las notas del programa dejaremos los enlaces pertinentes para que puedan ver más información sobre Mad Fuzz. Y recordemos, mañana empieza, así que mucha suerte. Con esta canción nos despedimos por hoy. También recordad, que si quieres ayudar a este podcast, y seguir disfrutando de la música de muchos más grupos, haz tus compras de Amazon a través del enlace eramagazine.fm/amazon.

Manual Mode Photo World how could I go through each priority mode and not finally speak on Manual Mode. However, I don’t really do that much here. I should have called this episode Rob Mode because I selfishly only talk about how I shoot and how I couple Manual Mode with my Metering. Although, Manual Mode is really “insert name here” Mode every time. If you think about how we create images, and you will hear me speak to the topic of “Style” here today, we will find it all starts from our own understanding of our gear and how we use it to create our looks. Admittedly, some of the thoughts seem disconnected but I do tie up my point in the end and hopefully give you a rough outline to doing what you love for a living. Ultimately, this is a show to help the “enter your current photographic level here” photographer to gain knowledge and experience to move forward and grow toward the next level of their journey. Whatever that may be. We will make our way back to the business stuff soon enough. I wanted to break for a few episodes to really break down some areas on the camera in hopes to offer insight or possibility in using those options. Sometimes we get so set in what is comfortable nothing great can happen anymore because the possible is so beyond the realm of comfort. Happy Shooting! Get your FREE business coaching call with Rob!

Jeff Harmon answers a listener question about why anyone would shoot in manual mode. The post Why Manual Mode appeared first on Photo Taco Podcast.
If you’re not yet a pro, it can be confusing to know which of your camera functions you should be choosing: aperture priority? Shutter priority? Program mode? Any of those other little icons on the dial? In this episode, Gina breaks down her approach to taking pics like a pro. It’s a simple framework that will help you got off auto and onto the manual mode of your camera – with confidence. Note from Valerie: “Gina explains this is a such a straightforward way that she demystifies which buttons and icons matter – and which don’t. You’ll be shooting on manual in 30 minutes.” Hope you enjoy the podcast. Sign up to the newsletter for great tips and free Lightroom presets.
