		<title>Pushing Exposures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's been suggested that raising the exposure in the raw processor would generate a cleaner file than raising the ISO by the same amount, since the camera doesn't have internal software as sophisticated as the raw processors you run on your computer. Nonsense. For one thing, when shooting raw files, the software in the camera [...]]]></description>

		<title>Resolution Shmesolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I've said before (here, here and here), setting the resolution doesn't mean anything until actualization—that is, until we're talking about printing the image, having it become a measurable object you can hold in your hands. In other words, both detail (quality) and file size are unaffected by the value you set for the resolution [...]]]></description>

		<title>X Sync Limit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When photographing on location, you might want to use flash to complement the available light, allowing you to have greater control over the exposure of the subject and its environment. When the ambient light is rather dim, you might need to "drag the shutter" (use a slow shutter speed to allow enough of the ambient [...]]]></description>

		<title>Color Models vs Color Spaces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a widespread—though understandable, to a point—confusion between color models and color spaces. For example, we'll hear someone saying something like "CMYK is much smaller than ProPhoto RGB", which unfortunately doesn't make sense because it compares apples with oranges, even if there's a certain truth somewhere in there. First, let's look at the concepts. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Embedding a SlideShow Pro presentation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you've created a SlideShow Pro presentation to feature some of the images in your portfolio, and now you want to embed it in your website—that is, you want to insert the slideshow in your design, not just point to the standalone web page that the software generated. You may have been explained how to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lens Movements</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is quite a bit of confusion—at least in the terminology—regarding the lens adjustments made possible by perspective control lenses (also called "tilt/shift" lenses). The best, thoroughest, clearest explanation I've come across for this part of the photography technique comes from chapter 10, "View-Camera Adjustments", in Ansel Adams' famous "The Camera" book. I recommend you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gel That Flash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you want to harmonize the color of your flash with the ambient light, you first have to know which color the ambient light is, obviously. You might try to go at it by eye, or even by tradition, but you might not get the result you expected (for example, fluorescent light used to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mixing Flash with Ambient</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Setting the shutter speed in the light meter When using a Sekonic L-358 light meter to read a flash exposure (the same applies to other models, I am simply not familiar with them), one of the nice features it has is its ability to indicate which percentage of the total exposure came from the flash [...]]]></description>

		<title>On White Balance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you want to get accurate white balance. There are many ways to get there, if you know why you are doing it and what you want to achieve. If you're shooting raw, you're probably aware that you don't technically need to worry about it at capture time, because it's not set in stone — [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Bunch of Web Concepts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following a previous post, I kept hearing a discouraging amount of misinformation regarding some web concepts, so I thought I'd do as I did before and add my two cents. Maximum Image Dimensions and Page Size Alright, we all agree that we want our website to load rather quickly, because we know people aren't going [...]]]></description>
