Going back to the basics, no new gear or a technical wizardry, just the basics. Do a search for exposure triangle and you will find as much information as you need, so I’m not sharing anything new and revolutionary. But this post is intended to help those reading this blog, and is also self serving…
As a photographer you should be shooting RAW, the ONLY exception would be if your employer requires you to shoot jpg. … but IMO you should convince them they are wrong.. you are potentially missing a lot of details, and may not be able to save an otherwise decent picture.

I like browsing the internet, I can easily ‘waste’ hours during a day looking at new technology and searching out the best way to integrate it. In fact I usually spend so many hours and days researching combinations that when I’m actually ready to buy the product is no longer offered… I’ll leave that topic…
Hmmm… well… F… that was the drive with all your images? Now what? Take it to the geek shop and hope for the best… or backup your image files before this happens. Images, capturing beautiful inspiring images should be one of your goals as a photographer. But if in a week, or month from now…

You may also want to turn off the sleep mode. Starting with the 480, press and hold the zoom/z button until display is as below…
No magic tip today, I’m going to save the planned tip for next week. I’m glued to CreativeLive today and doing some housecleaning. Few people enjoy house-cleaning, but do not neglect your workspace. Heat is the enemy to performance of your electronics. Fine particles of dust settle on your components and eventually bake into to…
Ok- the heading is misleading, you won’t actually get more power, but this might help you keep better track of it. This weeks tip is a continuation of last week.
