Photography Workshop Review Part 3

This weeks chapters are White Balance, Image Quality, Exposure Overview and ISO settings.

Do you remember a few weeks back I told you I didn’t post a picture because I was BLUE in the photo?? Well, the White Balance chapter taught me how to take that ‘blue’ out of a photo. The chapter also taught me to take the ‘orange’ out of the indoor photos.

Image Quality, GREAT chapter!! I learned by changing these settings, I can take ANY part of this picture and enlarge it, and the photo will still be amazing! (BTW… this is my orchid. This plant is about 5 or maybe even 6 years old. Blooms all the time!! It still has amazing blooms!!

ISO…. what can I say…. I’ve never understood ISO before. I’ve always set my camera to ‘auto’ and let the camera do the work. AH HA!!!!!! NOW I think I’ve got it!!

These 2 shots look a lot alike… but one shot lets you see almost individual dog hairs on Jack!!

Jerry’s class is really helping me understand my camera. I’m enjoying this class immensely!!

More bonuses on Jerry’s site……. if you are in the market for a new camera or camera equipment, Jerry has a 2012 Digital Camera buying guide. The buying guide has extensive information!! WOWOW!!

Jerry has 3 new Kindle books coming out which I will have more information and links for you next Sunday when I share what I’ve learned about Lens Opening, Shutter Speed and Shooting Modes.

Now I’m off to go practice more with my ISO settings!!

 

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is like digital archaeology—except I’ve unearthed a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.

This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes. If things look a little haunted around here, here is the proof:

• The Vanishing Act: The ghost keeps deleting my best images and video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes.
• The Link Graveyard: It’s been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
• Font Sabotage: Apparently trapped in 2001, it keeps reverting my clean layout back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan

To banish these spirits and keep my traffic climbing, I’m launching a step-by-step exorcism plan:

1. Exorcise the 404s: Running a broken link checker to track down every dead end and missing image.
2. Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.
3. SEO Deep Clean: Refreshing metadata and strategically placing focus keywords.

Stick Around Please!

Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house and banishing spirits, check out these (very much alive) links:

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway. I promise this one is fully alive, kicking, and ghost-free!

Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, who is turning down free money?

Hey, while you are here you could shop through my link on Amazon, or Walmart.
