Coming to you from James Popsys, this awesome video features him discussing eight basic ideas he wish he had known when he first started photography. For me, the lesson I wish I had learned sooner was simply to embrace higher ISOs. When I first started, I was terrified to push my ISO up at all. This would cause me to use apertures that were simply too wide for the depth of field I needed or even worse, use shutter speeds that were way too slow for the action or for my ability to hold the camera steady.
