Art has arguably been around almost as long as humans have. The moment we learned to mark something for others to see and interpret, the moment art was born. Thankfully for us photographers, we needn’t go quite that far back to begin learning from the history of art, in fact we only need go as far as the ‘Old Masters’. Old Master Who? Old Master Who? To those unsure as to who the ‘Old Masters’ were, they are the painters that worked in Europe prior the 1800’s....

The bug would cause users to suddenly hear loud or distorted audio, often while working on a video’s audio tracks. But this wasn’t just a “reload Premiere Pro and it’s fine again” problem.

Sure, you can go out and buy several fluorescent tube fittings and try to build your own that way.
