There are certain phrases and aspects of photography that tend to be taken for granted. However, particularly if you're new to photography, or an aspect of photography, you might not understand what they mean.

In this podcast, I look at 12 questions that cover some of these aspects. They are:

1. What is the difference between optical and digital zoom?
2. What is depth of field and how is it controlled?
3. What is the difference between a large and a small aperture?
4. How can I get a blurry background?
5. What is the difference between single and continuous auto-focus?
6. Why doesn't my sunset look colourful?
7. How can I avoid red-eye in photos?
8. What is the histogram (on the camera rear display) used for?
9. Why is my subject a little out of focus?
10. How can I get a sharp background?
11. Why are some of my pictures grainy?
12. What is a lens hood for?

As always, you can contact me with you questions (and any other topics you'd like to see addressed) by emailing me at graham@ge.photography.

You can also ask about my online photography courses (Smartphone and DSLR/Mirrorless photography).
