Photography Basics: Editing Photos

March 26, 2010

Always have a great shot SOOC (strait out of the camera). It will save you lots of time in the editing process. If you have a really great SOOC shot, you should be able to get by with your basic photo editing. If you have a bad SOOC shot, you will spend tons of time [...]

I see a lot of people get in the [...]

Photography Basics: What is ISO?

What is ISO, you ask? It is the digital equivalent of film speed. The higher the ISO is, the less light needed to [...]
