Do you need a backup camera?
This week, we took a field trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens to do some infrared photography, and then we’ll discuss the need for having a backup camera. Do you need one, and if so, what’s the best backup option for you?

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. -

Get creative with alternative crops
This week, we chat about using alternative aspect ratios as a creative tool. You might be able to choose crop ratios in your camera, or you can crop your images later in post. Different camera models handle in-camera cropping differently, so you’ll want to check to see if raw files are cropped, or if the original file dimensions are preserved.
We also talk briefly about trends in Arca-Swiss compatible plates and brackets from Chinese brands that can save you a lot of money, but are they well-made? -

Customer Reviews
One of the best podcasts on photography
Great up to date and pertinent information on equipment, topics du jour, latest techniques and places to photograph. Not sure what jaymc5 is alluding to, but the Image Doctors began in the Nikonians group years ago, so the initial equipment reviews were Nikon. Not anymore, if jaymc5 were paying attention. Kudos to a long-running successful podcast.
Calming, philosophical, and inspirational
This is the antidote for YouTube overload. So glad I found this podcast. Don’t be misled by the intro music. There are some some hidden gems of wisdom scattered throughout these discussions that I will be applying to more than just photography.
Informercials for Nikon and Adobe
Please get back to the inspirational aspects of photography and away from being mouth holes for the latest Nikon and Adobe products.
