Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;d like to soften a background, or soften certain parts of a person&#8217;s physical features. You&#8217;d use a concept called &#8220;depth of field&#8221;, where the &#8220;field&#8221; is everything your camera sees, from the closest objects to the most distant, and the &#8220;depth&#8221; is how much of that field is in focus (the close [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the most basic level, the aperture is the size of the &#8220;opening&#8221; through which your camera collects light, whereas f-stop is the way we measure the size of this opening. At times, the two terms can really be used interchangeably: &#8220;what aperture are you shooting?&#8221; or &#8220;what&#8217;s your f-stop?&#8221;. You&#8217;ll read later, however, why [...]]]></description>

You love your on-camera flash, but you&#8217;re beginning to realize its limitations. Flat facial features, limited direction and distance, and almost no creativity allowed. You need to step up to wireless strobes. Lot&#8217;s of people are in that boat, but don&#8217;t want to pay more money for a wireless flash system than they did for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<strong>Bringing Out Highlights in Photoshop</strong>

There are dozens of techniques that photographers regularly use to set their shots apart from others, and to achieve their own "look". One important technique has to do with highlights. It's always a good idea to bring out the client's best features, and pulling out key highlights in the eyes, hair, teeth, etc... can be a subtle yet effective way to do this.]]></description>
