The John Greengo Photography Show – Episode 014

On this episode of the John Greengo show, we welcome Brent Osborne from Glazer’s Camera. As you would expect, Brent is a photographer himself and we will take a look at some of his images later in the show. First we start out with a discussion about why to use a tripod and when it can help you get the best possible shot. Then join us as we walk through an almost literal forest of tripods. From a great starter set all the way through tripods designed to go to the depths of the ocean, we will cover it on the John Greengo Photography Show podcast!

Rosanne Olson – Wk 3

Strobes » 1 month, 18 days, 5 hours, 55 minutes ago

Progressing from continuous light to strobes, we explore the differences between the two and observe some of the light modifiers that create catch lights as found in magazines. Doing this will give depth to the understanding of lighting. Many photographers do not work with strobes in their normal photography endeavors, but an understanding of how they work can lead to the ultimate goal of creating beautiful light. This is an important step in the continuum of lighting concepts.
