Digital photography has all but eliminated that need, and it's costing us in other ways.
In this episode we'll talk about a challenge to limit the number of exposures we can capture on our memory cards, and how that can benef...
Better Fuji Photos Episode 9: Controlling Contrast with Dynamic Range
NOTE: The webinar is postponed until March 22nd due to a weather emergency.
The Dynamic Range setting is one of the most mysterious Image Quality settings found in Fujifilm cameras.

Better Fuji Photos Episode 3: AUTO ISO for Sharper Photos
I was haunted by unwanted motion blur for years when I started my digital photography journey. Keeping track of an ISO that would produce noise-free photos and a shutter speed fast enough to freeze motion seemed to be beyond my grasp.
