Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 51 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick McEvoy and I explain one photographic thing per episode in plain English in less that 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. I have well over 30 years of experience in photography so I do know what I am talking about!

In this episode - What Is A Full Frame Camera?

Here is my answer
A full frame camera has a sensor size which is 36mm x 24mm. This is exactly the same size as the film in a 35mm film camera. Typically SLR cameras used 35mm film, so when digital cameras were introduced the camera film was replaced with a sensor of the same dimensions. Full frame cameras used to only be DSLRs, but now you can get full frame mirrorless cameras.

Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 49 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick McEvoy and I explain one photographic thing per episode in plain English in less that 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. I have well over 30 years of experience in photography so I do know what I am talking about!

In this episode - My Step By Step Guide To How I Apply Metadata To Photos In Lightroom

Here is my answer

Metadata in photography refers to data about an image. Metadata comes into three main categories

1 – Camera settings and all that other good stuff from the camera. This is generally recorded by the camera at the time of image capture.

2 – To describe a photo in words. This is generally added to a file on a computer or other device

3 – Rights info - don’t copy my photo – that kind of thing – again generally added after image capture.

In this episode - My Step By Step Guide To How I Edit My Photos In Lightroom

Here is my answer

I edit my photos Lightroom in using my well refined workflow. I import the photos into Lightroom, and apply my own import presets, which are things that I do to every image, which Lightroom does for me. I start in the Basic panel in the Develop Module, and work though the panels in a logical way. I edit my photos to enhance the photo that I have taken to present the image the best I can.

Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 46 of the Photography Explained podcast.

I’m your host Rick McEvoy and I explain one photographic thing per episode in plain English in less that 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. I have well over 30 years of experience in photography so I do know what I am talking about!

In this episode - My Step By Step Guide To How I Get The Photos Off My Camera (Safely and Securely)

Here is my answer

I get the photos off my camera by inserting the memory card directly into a slot on my PC. I import the photos into Lightroom, which at the same time makes a back up of the import on a separate hard drive. I apply some presets to the photos in Lightroom, and also carry out a cloud back up. I copy the photos to a hard drive stored off site before I delete the photos from the memory card. I always have three separate sets of images in separate locations.
