Hi. Rick here. If you were expecting to listen to episode 154 of the Photography Explained Podcast, How Do I Get The Correct Exposure Every Time? well so was I! But it’s not here is it, not yet anyway.

I have written the episode, and I have recorded the episode. But when I came to edit it this morning, the audio was, well quite frankly awful. Digitally bad awful that is, not me awful. So awful that I am going to have to rerecord it, but I need to fix the problem first.

So, as you listen to this, I am in the middle of a big clean-up of my computer before I record the episode again. Then I need to edit the shiny new version. If I have fixed the problem that is.

While you are waiting, if you have a 27 minute gap in your life, why not head over to the Photography Explained Podcast website and find something else to listen to! Or send me a question to answer in a future episode. And why not head over to rickmcevoyphotography.com where you can read all about me and photographing buildings. So much good stuff, what is not to love.

At some point soon this episode will magically appear in your podcast feed, so until then I will say thank you for bearing with me, take care and stay safe.

Cheers from me Rick

In this episode, I tell you.

• What does the word camera mean, and where did it come from?
• What a camera is.
• How a camera works. Briefly.
