Have you ever wondered how a camera works? We use these things to take photos, so it makes sense to understand how they work. Don’t worry; I don’t go into too much detail on some of the tricky stuff!

A camera is a light-proof box with an opening that opens when the shutter is raised to allow light to pass through to the sensor. Or film. This is what happens when you take a photo.

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.
• What are the various parts of a camera?
• And finally, what I do.

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in less than 27 (ish) minutes!

What is not to love?

A happy 2023 to you, dear listener. I hope that you are well.

I am starting off 2023 with something completely different. See, I have things to deal with, so my priorities right now have to be elsewhere. So, what I want to do is share with you the first episode of my podcast, What Is Photography?

This is the original recording, published in October 2020.

I will pick up on this in the next episode, where I will give you my thoughts on what is after all a fundamental question about photography. And this is something that I have a lot to say about.

In this episode, How Is Artificial Intelligence Used In Photography? Will AI Ever Replace Me? And also some more thoughts on the last episode, I Only Take Photos With My Phone - What Photography Stuff Am I Missing Out On?

Hi and welcome to Episode 143 of the Photography Explained podcast. I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I will try to explain one photographic to you in plain English, in less than 27 minutes (ish), without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google. OK – lots of research in this one, and not just from Google. More on that later.

First - here is the answery bit

AI is artificial intelligence. AI is used in photography to take technically higher quality photos. AI in photography is used to apply previous learning to the processing of images. AI in photography provides endless new opportunities to intelligently automate photographic processes.

But. AI cannot replace the human bit of us, our feelings, emotions, views, and beliefs.

So no, AI in photography will not replace us as photographers. Well not completely. And not yet.

But one day…. Who knows…

Listen on for much more.

In this episode, I Only Take Photos With My Phone - What Photography Stuff Am I Missing Out On? And also some more thoughts on the last episode, Do I Really Need A Camera In 2022? Or Will My Phone Do Instead? 

 Hi and welcome to Episode 142 of the Photography Explained podcast.

First - here is the answery bit

If you only take photos with a phone you are missing out on many photographic things, such as

• Camera lenses
• The taking photos with a camera experience
• A much larger camera sensor
• Gear to help you take better photos
• And a whole world of photography stuff
• OK - and some complicated photography stuff too

I know that phones are great and can take amazing photos, but let me tell you what you might be missing out on if you only use your phone to take photos.

In this episode, Do I Really Need A Camera In 2022? Or Will My Phone Do Instead? And also some more thoughts on the last episode, What Does The Future Of Photography Look Like?

 Hi and welcome to Episode 141 of the Photography Explained podcast. I’m your host Rick, and in each episode I try to explain one photographic to you in plain English in less than 27ish minutes, but still without the irrelevant details. What I tell you is based on my lifetime of photographic experience. And not Google. No Google required for this one.

First - here is the answery bit
If you want to fully explore the wonderful world of photography you do need a camera, even in 2022. Sure you can get great photos with a phone, but buying a camera allows you to grow your photography without limits, and fully embrace and enjoy the wonderful world of photography. Buy a camera and you open up a world of techniques, creative photo taking possibilities and of course the gear to help you. You don’t get all of this with just a phone, in my humble opinion.

Having said that, if you are happy taking photos with your phone then that’s fine, I just want you to know what you might be missing out on.

Listen on for much more.
