Episode 20: Exploring Photography with Olivia Jacobs
In this episode of The Hunter and Hippie Podcast, hosts Pat Kaiser and Olivia Jacobs discuss Olivia's journey into photography.
She recounts receiving her first Nikon camera as a high school graduation gift and the initial challenges of capturing what she saw versus what the camera saw.
The desire to capture imagery really began in 2014 when she took her (now old) Nikon to Glacier National Park and discovered how low the resolution really was.
That following year, her ex husband gifted her a new camera - an entry-level Canon Rebel T6i. From there, she began exploring Photographers on YouTube with whom she could learn from.
The episode continues on her journey investing in better equipment and continuing to educate herself through YouTube tutorials and trial and error. She provides insights into the technical aspects of photography, such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings in more layman's terms.
She shares her experiences from her first significant photography trip to a more recent upgrade to a Canon R6.
The episode also covers essential gear for new photographers and offers tips for getting started. Olivia emphasizes the importance of patience, curiosity, and slowing down to appreciate and capture the beauty around us.
