| Let's Talk About Light [REMIX] | 19 Jul 2022 | 00:16:39 | |
Episode 68: Light creates everything we see - colors, contrast, shapes, lines, etc., and therefore learning how to “see” light is an essential step in creating more compelling images. Many of our recent guests on the podcast have emphasized how important understanding and knowing light is to improve your photography. So, in this Tidbit Tuesday, I break down the different characteristics of light, how to effectively use whatever light you have, and how light shapes the mood of a scene or subject. This is a remix of an earlier episode (episode 18) in case you missed it. LINKS MENTIONED: Episode 16: What to Photograph on Overcast, Grey Days? Episode 38: Should You Buy Filters?

| Photo Editing vs Photo Manipulation: Is There a Limit? [REMIX] | 15 Mar 2022 | 00:23:42 | |
Episode 50: This (remixed) Tidbit Tuesday is a little more philosophical in nature as I answer two of our listener questions around photo manipulation - whether that is done in the field or in the digital darkroom. Is there a difference between photo editing and photo manipulation? And if so, where’s the line? Who makes that call? Should you disclose when you have manipulated an image? What are the implications if you do or don’t? Learn how this debate has transpired over the relatively short life of photography as an artform and how it can inform our decisions about how we approach our creative practices with our photography. In this episode, I discuss:
