Discussing the concept of presets both in software and as a mindset for photographers

In episode 468 of my podcast, the Perceptive Photographer, I talk about the world of presets in photography. I chime in on how their role and importance can enhancing workflow efficiency, especially for repetitive tasks. I also share how important it is to consider the further refinement required to achieve the desired effects. I also try to encourage you to understand the underlying adjustments that make up a preset to better apply them to their images.  I also try an draw a parallel between presets and expectations set before a photo shoot, emphasizing preparation as another form of presetting. Finally I discuss how ideas can be left top of mind akin to having pre-programmed buttons on a radio, that aid photographers in rapidly adapting to change while shooting. Subscribing to the podcast ensures not missing any new episodes released every Monday. One of the questions I get asked frequently is what sort of equipment do I use to record my podcast. I have used a variety of equipment in the years that I have been recording, but here is the current list of equipment that I am using.
