IP Episode 183

Jeff Harmon does a detailed "How I Got The Shot" (HIGTS) for the first portrait shot he felt like he created instead of just captured.  It happened to be a wedding photo taken in the summer of 2017.  He talks about how he actually had a sad ending to the story because the Lexar USB drive he was using to store photos for use on his MacBook Pro failed and took the original Raw files with it.  Then he talks about the factors involved in making this photo different from the others he has done over the past 5 1/2 years since getting his first DLSR back in December 2011.

Brent Bergherm, Brian McGuckin, Connor Hibbs, Erica Kay, and Jeff Harmon take turns hosting a weekly roundtable episode where they sit  down with two other members of the team to talk about the photography news and tips of all kinds.  The team helps listeners to become masters of their photography.

The podcast gives listeners something new in each episode.  From interviews with the undisputed industry leaders in photography like Trey Ratcliff, Dave Black, Joel Grimes, to call-in question episodes where Jim answers questions directly from listeners, to news segments, and the famous "photography doodads" of the week.  

This is the podcast for enthusiast and professional photography nerds who want to learn everything there is to learn about photography--without the fluff of a "talk show."

One listener said, "The Improve Photography Podcast is awesome because Jim has a special skill for answering very advanced level photography techniques in a way that even the beginning photographers can understand.  He doesn't talk down to newer photographers, but doesn't ignore the advanced photography tricks either.  He has a vast knowledge of photography expertise and I never miss an episode.  Love it!"
