SUMMARY
Photographer Mads Peter Iversen outlines seven critical photography mistakes that cannot be fixed in post-production. These include editing on uncalibrated monitors that don't display the full sRGB color gamut, working in distracting lighting environments that skew perception, and making incorrect ISO choices. Iversen emphasizes that a sharp image with noise is preferable to motion blur and that high ISO is often necessary for wildlife photography. Additionally, using low-quality SD cards, filters, or third-party batteries can lead to permanent damage to files or equipment.
