What Is The Best Free Photo Editing App For iPhone/ iPad/ Android? Hi and welcome to Episode 71 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is my answer
The best free photo editing app for the iPhone is in my opinion Lightroom. It is free, and contains nearly all of the editing tools that you need. You can take photos in RAW using the built-in camera, organise, rate and edit photos, and share or export photos straight from the App. And if you pay to subscribe to the Creative Cloud Photography plan you can sync photos with Lightroom on the desktop.

Are Phone Camera Lenses Any Good? Lets Find Out. Hi and welcome to Episode 68 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is my answer
Phone cameras have much smaller lenses than mirrorless or DSLR cameras, but they have extraordinary image taking capabilities considering their size. Camera lenses on phones operate in the same was as they do on cameras, directing light onto the imaging sensor in the body of the phone. The combination of these remarkable lenses with the technology built into phones offer remarkable image taking possibilities - all from a phone.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

A camera lens directs light onto the camera sensor. Different lenses are used by photographers for different subjects and different creative effects.

What Is A Tilt Shift Lens? Let Me Explain In Less Than 10 Minutes.  Hi and welcome to Episode 66 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is my answer
A tilt shift lens is a lens which can be tilted and shifted so the lens plane is not parallel to the camera sensor and the imaging circle is moved from the centre. This allows photos to be taken with different perspectives with more uniform image quality across the image. Tilt shift lenses are used in architectural photography, straightening verticals rendered crooked or converging by conventional lenses, and are also used where creative depth of field is required.

Fisheye Lens Explained In Plain English In Less Than 10 Minutes. Hi and welcome to Episode 65 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is my answer
A fisheye lens is an ultra-wide camera lens that typically provides a 180 degree field of view. A fisheye lens can be either circular or full frame, with the circular type taking a circular image with a black surround and the full frame fisheye lens taking a distorted image that fills the frame. Fisheye lenses produce alternative dramatic distorted images. But mind your feet!

capture Telephoto Lenses Explained In Plain English In Less Than 10 Minutes. Hi and welcome to Episode 64 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is my answer
A telephoto lens offers a narrower field of view than a standard lens. The focal length of a telephoto lens is greater than a standard lens, and more than 50mm on a full frame camera. Telephoto lenses are used to capture distant objects, and to isolate features in a scene. Telephoto lenses are used for wildlife, sports, landscape photography - anything where you want to zoom in!

Wide Angle Lens Explained In Plain English In Less Than 10 Minutes. Hi and welcome to Episode 63 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is my answer
A wide angle lens offers a wider field of view than a standard lens. The focal length of a wide angle lens is less than a standard lens, less than 50mm on a full frame camera. Wide angle lenses are used to capture more of a scene, a wider view, and are used in a variety of photographic genres. The smaller the focal length number, the wider the field of view the lens provides.

What Are Standard Lenses? Let Me Tell You In Plain English. Hi and welcome to Episode 62 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes (ish) without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google.

Here is my answer
A standard lens in photography provides a field of view that is similar to that seen by the human eye. The focal length of a standard lens depends on the size of the camera sensor. A full frame standard lens has a 50mm focal length, a cropped sensor camera 75-80mm focal length and on a micro four thirds camera a 100mm focal length. Standard lenses are fast, small, cheap and lightweight and are excellent general purpose lenses.
