As a kid, my mother would read me bedtime stories, but my father would tell me exciting stories from his own childhood. They were action packed, almost unbelievable, and probably influenced my own rambunctious childhood. This particular story took place in Mt. Vernon, New York in the '60s and involved his brother Freddy, an abandoned car, and kid breaking in his new boots. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bryonsummers/support

Who are you trying to impress? I’ve been extremely geeked about the success so far of the We Love You project. I’ve talked about it in almost every episode of Shooting with Shooters and of course posting flyers all over social media for every city we visited. The goal is to take a the individual portrait of 1000 Black men ranging from babies to great grandfathers. So far we’ve hit 4 cities and now have had over 500 participants. Rewind to earlier this year. A month before my 30th birthday. I’m packing up my Brooklyn apartment and getting ready to move back to Maryland. I’m moving back home… for 2nd time. 5 years prior, I had made a similar move from Norfolk, Virginia back home to regroup. It’s great to have family that lets you come back and embraces you… but at some point you start to feel like you failed. After all, you’re not following the expected path to adulthood. You graduate high school, go to college. Four years later you start your career and find a wife or a husband then start a family. You work for about 30 years retire and enjoy life as a grandparent after watching your own kids follow the same path to adulthood. … yea, that wasn't and still isn’t my path.

Source: Photography Second Edition By Bruce Warren -- Tech Briefs Canon announces the update to their flagship DSLR: the new EOS-1D X Mark II. The 1D X Mark II features an increase in resolution to 20 megapixels. Although the native ISO stays the same at 100-51,200, the expanded range ups to 409,600. The Mark II features new, dual Digic 6+ processors that allow for processing 14 raw or JPEG frames per second (and up to 16 in Live View). Helping these high frame rates is a shutter with carbon fiber blades that is built to withstand 400,000 exposures. These processors put out 4K video clips at 60 frames per second until you fill up your card. Wow. This capability is due to the CFast 2.0 card slot in the Mark II. Shooting at full speed, the buffer will allow recording of up to 170 raw frames on CFast 2.0 cards or 73 frames on a CF card. There is also continuous autofocus while shooting stills and video, regardless of the frame rate. A 360,000-pixel metering sensor helps with subject recognition and tracking across the 61-point High Density Reticular AF II system with 41 cross-type points. Canon's new in-camera Digital Lens Optimizer technology, allows for in-body lens aberration and diffraction correction for every shot, saving you one more step in post. The 1D X Mark II is weather sealed, even at its connection points. And incase you’re into this, the GPS functionality is built-in, and includes an auto time-syncing feature that syncs with Universal Time Code via satellites. The EOS-1D X Mark II will be available for $5,999 and ships in April.

Bokeh appears as little circles in the unsharp areas. Depending upon the shape of the opening formed by the blades of the lens’s aperture, the circles appear either more or less circular. Good bokeh, which has a more “natural” appearance, is most commonly defined by smoother, round-shaped highlights that blend smoothly into the darker shadow areas, an effect that’s directly attributed to the degree of roundness of the lens aperture.

Website: www.BryonSummers.com Instagram: @BryonSummers Phocabulary: Resolution - The degree of detail an imaging system is capable of capturing. In the case of digital photography, this is a function of how many pixels an image sensor records, or the number and density of pixels within a physical print. The physical size of a sensor places limitations on how many discrete pixels can be fit onto it. With respect to a print, resolution is more flexible, as the larger the print, the farther away viewers typically stand. Billboards, for instance, typically have 10-15 pixels per inch. Prints intended to be viewed at arm’s length in a publication are commonly printed around 300 pixels per inch.

Sometimes referred to as “digital negatives”, RAW files are not quite images, as they must be interpreted through a number of software algorithms to become viewable, editable or printable. RAW files have no permanent commitment to white balance saturation, or contrast. In comparison to any other file format currently available, they are significantly larger than JPEG anreven TIFF files. The quality is far greater as well. They are never permanently changed by processing because a copy is always extracted while the original remains untouched.

F-stops are defined numerically - f1/4, f5.6, f22, etc. Larger, or wider apertures, allow more light to enter the lens, which results in faster shutter speeds. Faster apertures also allow for selective focus (narrow depth-of-field), while smaller (slower) apertures allow for greater depth-of-field. Wider apertures are preferred for portraits, while smaller apertures are preferred for landscapes.
