Let's Talk Photography

It’s a solo show this month with Bart chatting directly with the audience. This is the first in what will be a sporadic but on-going series of episodes, each focusing on a single photographic term. The shows will start with a technical description of what the chosen term means, and then move on to look at how it effects the art and craft of photography. This show is all about ‘Dynamic Range’.

Inspired by Episode 161 of the excellent Shuttertime with Sid & Mac podcast, Bart shares his thoughts on how to go about choosing the best photography software for you. Not the best by some sort of global metric, but the best for you. Bart argues strongly that it matters to you that the company behind the software you choose has a viable business model, and that their vision for the future aligns with yours.

This is the final part of a three-part solo series but Bart. In the first part, “How Cameras Work” (Episode 41), Bart describes the most general definition of a camera - a lens which focuses an image onto a plane which is in some way light-sensitive so it can record that image, and takes a quick tour through history to describe how we got to the modern digital camera. In the second part, “Understanding Auto” (Episode 42), Bart describes just what it is the little computer in a modern digital camera is doing - specifically, what sensors it uses to gather inputs, and what decisions it takes on our behalf. In this final part, Bart describes the spectrum of semi-automatic modes that exist between full auto and full manual, and why you might want to start asserting more control over your camera.

Following on from last month’s description of what a camera is and how it works, this month Bart explains the decisions a digital camera takes on your behalf when it’s operating in full automatic mode.

This month it’s another solo show. Bart does his best to explain, at a physical level, how cameras work. Before we can take control of our cameras, we need to understand what’s really going on inside our cameras, and that’s what this show is all about. How we got to now is also important, so there’s a liberal helping of history thrown in too.
