In this week's episode Mark Wallace explains the Inverse Square law and how it can improve your photography.
This week Mark explains autofocus Points. The reason for all of these autofocus points is to make it easier for photographers to create off-center compositions and still get the focus right. In this episode Mark will give you tips on how to use the autofocus points.
In this episode Mark will show how some cameras offer the ability to fire the flash at just before the second curtain closes. This is called rear or second curtain sync and it is used to freeze motion at the end of the exposure. When making long exposures while firing a flash rear curtain sync creates the effect of motion blur trailing the main subject.
In this episode Mark will show us how to get photos with that really shallow depth of field and typically overexposed to really blow out the detail in the background, just like some of the photographers that we feature on "How'd They Do That?".

Sometimes when shooting, you want everything sharp from the front to the back of the scene. Setting a small aperture can help but if you really want to maximize depth of field, hyperfocal focusing is the technique you need to use. And in this episode Mark will explain how to calculate the hyperfocal distance.
In this episode Mark compares the differences between speedlights and studio strobes.
This week Mark explains how to shoot in manual mode.
