In this episode, Jim talks about the lessons he learned shooting with the Improve Photography Travel Group last week in Oregon, and discusses night photography.

What's in this episode

• The new Sony a77 II DSLR announcement and Jim's thoughts
• Selecting the perfect composition for landscape photography
• How to reduce noise in high ISO night photos (and the answer is NOT the “noise reduction” feature in Lightroom and Photoshop!)
• Jim announces that he will sell his Lightroom presets for the Black Friday price again next week.  It is the second and last time they will ever be available at the reduced price, so watch the site next week (first week of June) for the deal to pop up).  They have been sold for $450 for the last seven months, but next week he'll sell them for the ridiculously awesome price of $39.  Watch this video to see what his Lightroom Presets can do.
