I drive an old pickup truck. I love it. It works, but it’s also twenty-years old, and its creaky joints can be heard from the sidewalks as it rattles around the roads between North Queens and South Brooklyn.
My lighting equipment isn’t much different. It’s old. I love it. It works, but it has the same tenuous “held-together-by-tape-gum-and-string” quality as my truck.

Taking a look at any modern mirrorless or DSLR camera, you’ll notice a slew of controls, buttons, and dials. Atop nearly all cameras sits a large dial labeled with many letters and icons. This is our mode dial. It is how we control the level of power we give to our camera or take for ourselves.

Most photos consist of a balance between bright and dark tones, creating what we typically consider to be “proper exposure.” In proper exposure, there should be ample detail in all areas of the image, no matter how dark or how bright. At least, that’s what we should do when trying to capture a balanced exposure.

If you’re starting a video podcast or looking to get into live streaming, you’ve come to the right place. I have experience with both, so I speak from personal experience when I say you’ll need a capable computer to do either. What kind of computer exactly? Thankfully, the answer is simple.
