Tips for getting the fastest frame rates







Many modern digital cameras offer frame rates that exceed 15fps. However, there are often settings conflicts that can reduce the actual frame rate, even when you’re set to a fast fps option. We’ll take a look at the settings that can affect frame rate so that you can maximize your camera’s output.

It’s Infrared Photo Season!







The leaves are popping and that means it’s time for infrared photography season to kick into high gear. We both enjoy infrared photography, and our editing workflow continues to evolve. We’ll share some tips on how to get the best infrared shots. We’ll also revisit the topic of Camera Profiles in ACR/Lightroom, and talk about how using them can really work magic with certain shots.

Our Workflow for High ISO Images







Newer digital cameras do an excellent job with handling noise at higher ISOs, but they are not noise-free. When you shoot action like sports or wildlife, especially if you’re not using fast (read: expensive) lenses, you can easily find yourself shooting well over ISO 6400. The good news is that modern AI-based software tools for noise reduction can handle these shots and deliver results that look like you were shooting at low ISOs!







This week, we’ll share our fundamental workflow for high-ISO photos, and we’ll be doing a demonstration for our show sponsors in an upcoming bonus video.















ISO 12,800 isn’t a problem for modern noise-reduction software (right).

Photographing the Solar Eclipse







Unless you’ve been under a rock, you probably saw LOTS of photos of the North American solar eclipse. We have some thoughts on it, plus Rick got to try out the Nikon Zf mirrorless camera, and offers his thoughts on the retro-styled Nikon.
