Saturday, September 24th, 2011

This episode has been recorded together with the participants of the Toronto Urban Photography workshop. Hear them discuss how much you can trust the display on your camera, how much you can trust the histogram, what to look for at exposure around brickworks and how to compensate for it.

And say hi to Napoleon, the new Tips from the Top Floor show mascot!
