Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 3 of the Photography Explained podcast. This week – How to take a photo

I’m your host Rick and each week I will try to explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes without the irrelevant details. My aim is to explain things in just enough detail to help us with our photography and no more.

In this episode I give you some things to think about when you are taking a photo which will hopefully focus your and my mind and help us all to take better photos. The 9 things I talk about are

1.  What are you taking a photo of?
2.  Think about the composition
3.  Choose the right lens
4.  Get the exposure correct
5.  Aperture
6.  Shutter
7.  ISO
8.  Focussing
9.  Different angles

And that’s it
