Photo How To

Are you struggling to capture perfectly exposed photos with balanced tones, deep shadows, and highlights full of detail? It a common problem that we often address in post-processing tutorials. Today, however, we're taking a close look at how a camera's meter-mode setting will greatly impact the look and feel of every image you shoot.

You're missing out on some great opportunities if, like other photographers, you always avoid shooting in harsh middy sun. There's no doubt that Blue Hour and Golden Hour can both be described as "prime time," but hard light offers bold shadows and strong highlights that deliver dramatic imagery if you understand what to do.

We all know that Blue Hour is one of the best times to shoot attention-grabbing images in the field. The challenge, however, is that sometimes our results fail to capture the magic and whimsy that we saw through the viewfinder as the sun dipped below the horizon.

Wouldn't it be great if you could dramatically improve your photos by simply changing four camera settings? This sounds like a tease but it's actually a fact, according to professional photographer Jared Collins, who specializes in teaching less-experienced shooters how to avoid common mistakes.

Are you tired of paying for expensive post-processing software or downloading apps like Gimp to your computer? If so, this quick guide from the popular BIT YouTube channel may just set you free without spending a dime and help you achieve enhancements that perfectly suit your needs.

Adobe recently gave Lightroom Mobile a significant update with powerful features for processing portrait photographs on your phone. A couple of these enhancements can also be used to improve other types of images as well.

Are you confused by all those "weird" numbers, symbols, and other classifications on your memory cards? Well, don't feel bad because you're not alone—even though this terminology can be quite important to understand.
