ISO got you confused? You’re not alone—BUT you’re in the right place. 🙌

We’ll cover:
✔️ What ISO actually does
✔️ When to raise or lower ISO
✔️ The real trade-off between ISO and image noise
✔️ Practical examples for daylight, indoor, and night shots

By the end, you’ll know how to take better photos in any lighting—and why a noisy photo is sometimes better than a blurry one. 🎯

🎥 Welcome back to Shoot Happens — the series where we ditch the fluff and get straight to the good stuff.

In this episode, we're breaking down one of the most misunderstood camera settings: shutter speed.

If you've ever taken a blurry photo and blamed your gear…this one’s for you.

✅ Learn how shutter speed actually works
✅ When to use FAST vs. SLOW shutter speeds
✅ How to avoid blur when shooting handheld
✅ Why shutter speed is key for creative effects like motion blur or freezing action

This isn’t just any photo album—it’s a game changer. In this review, I dive into the incredible hybrid photo album from InMotion Albums that combines traditional photo pages with a built-in video player. This is the first album I’ve ever awarded a perfect score, and for good reason. The way it draws you into your memories is nothing short of magical.
As I flipped through the pages and watched the videos of my son, I found myself completely captivated. It effortlessly pulls you back to the exact moments when the photos and videos were taken, making every memory feel alive again.

In this video, I’ll break down why this album stands out, discuss its innovative design, and share my authentic reactions as it worked its magic. If you’re looking for a unique way to relive and share your cherished memories, you don’t want to miss this review!
