The GREATEST Sports Photos Ever Taken | Neil Leifer Interview. I got the chance to sit down with one of my photography idols to talk about what I think are some of the greatest sports images ever taken. If you missed the interview on YouTube, you can watch it right here. https://youtu.be/h8fXCX0Zi5s Download MyGearVault https://mygearvault.com/#download To purchase any of Neil's photos, head over to http://neilleifer.com/ This video was filmed with the Nikon D5 as the center camera along with a Sony a7 III and Sony a9.

Welcome to another Flying Solo Q+A where I take three of your questions and give them some answers. This week I answer if a YouTuber needs a D850 to make their videos, how you get more people to your new website and how do you stop people from taking your images and printing them.

Welcome back to another Flying Solo where I take three of your questions and give them answers. http://froknowsphoto.com/flying-solo-004/ This time around I was asked pretty much the same question by a 15 year old and an 81 year old. Both feel they are being discrimination against as photographers because of their age. Of course I don't think photographers should be paid more or less based on their age. They should be paid based on their work. But I'm not going to sit here and tell you it doesn't happen, because it does, it's human nature. Download MyGearVault https://mygearvault.com/#download

I highly suggest you give this one a watch on YouTUbe when you get a chance.  Does NASA Shoot RAW? An Interview with ASTRONAUT Randy Bresnik SPACE It all started with a question, "do astronauts on the space station shoot RAW?". I figured why not call NASA and find out. While on the call I thought it would be a good idea to ask if I could interview an astronaut on the actual international space station. This time around we didn't get to interview someone on the station but we did get to interview Randy Bresnik who arrived back to earth only three days prior to our interview. Randy's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/astrokomrade/?hl=en We talked a lot about photography and the issues you may face in space as a human and a photographer. I was amazed by the fact that I was talking to a real life SPACEMAN and get to share the whole thing with you. I look forward to bringing you even more interviews as we venture into 2018. It is my goal to do an interview with someone in SPACE in the new year. I'm planning on seeing a SpaceX launch as well.

The message I want to convey today is “Just Start”. Back in June 2010 I decided to just start making YouTube videos. I didn’t know where it would take make but it’s taken me around the world. A few months back I finally just started a personal project i’ve been wanting to do for close to nine years. Well, I just started it and it’s taken off. It’s helped me meet some amazing people and capture some awesome photos. If you have an idea in your mind just start. No one said it’s going to be easy and no one says it needs to be the most extreme, but just start. Stop complaining and JUST START.

Welcome to what I am calling “Pictures In Your Mind”. The idea is I describe in as much detail as possible an image in the hope you can visualize the image in your mind based on how i’m describing it. My goal with this is to help you think about the details in the images you plan on capturing or are capturing. I want you to hear what I am saying the settings are, what the lighting is, where the subject is, where the details are and build the picture in your mind all before I show you the image. It’s all about painting the picture in your mind, wether it’s my photo or a photo you want to capture or a photo that’s presenting itself.

Welcome to FRO RANTS where I share what's on my mind about a certain topic.  This time i'm discussing the whole "dynamic range" issue people are saying the Canon 6D Mark II has. It's really frustrating to listen to a bunch of people bitch about a camera they don't own, never have used, never touched a file from and may never ever see.  They pile on based off of a few reports online that only give part of the picture and thing it's all fact.  I needed to get a few things off my chest and that's exactly what I do in this audio podcast. You can watch the video I recorded editing RAW files from the Canon 6D Mark II right here https://youtu.be/1Po4Ct8B2Oo

Welcome to what I am calling “Pictures In Your Mind”. The idea is I describe in as much detail as possible an image in the hope you can visualize the image in your mind based on how i’m describing it. My goal with this is to help you think about the details in the images you plan on capturing or are capturing. I want you to hear what I am saying the settings are, what the lighting is, where the subject is, where the details are and build the picture in your mind all before I show you the image. It’s all about painting the picture in your mind, wether it’s my photo or a photo you want to capture or a photo that’s presenting itself.

On this episode I interview photography Corwin Prescott who makes a living shooting nude photos of woman, men and couples.  A quick heads up, if you go to his website the photos are NSFW, you’ve been warned http://www.corwinprescott.com/   The interview starts at 15:20    What I loved about Corwin is how you can tell he does this for the art of it.  Where as many other so called “nude” photographers are simply out there to get girls naked and have sub par images.  Corwin’s images are fantastic any way you slice them.    We talk about the trip we were about to have and what we plan on doing with Todds lens while away.   Don’t forget to subscribe to the audio podcast so you can check out all the different shows that are audio only.  Just search out FroKnowsPhoto Podcast on the internets and iTunes or whatever podcasts are available.    00:16   A Very Clickable Title 01:31   Todd Showing His Sexy Self 03:48   Where Did We Just Go? 05:26   Operation FIX Todd's Lens 07:18   And Todd Is Back 08:20   MyGearVault ON ANDROID!!! 09:58   Fro Knows Photography Podcasts 13:06   This New Show Sucked Me In 15:20   Interview With Corwin Prescott 18:05   Is Photography School Needed? 22:08   Can You Make $$$ Shooting Nude Erotica? 24:19   How Do You Find Models To Do "That"??? 28:43   Who Pays You? 30:51   How Do You NOT Get Flagged By Instagram? 35:08   What Do Models Ask Of A Photographer? 39:02   How Did You Figure Out How To Connect All of the Dots? 41:57   What Do You Charge For A Shoot? 43:37   How Much Did You Spend On Your Kickstarter 45:51   Closing Remarks 47:59   Talking Corwin Prescott 54:14   Fro Knows Nudes

Welcome to what I am tentatively calling FRO RANTS!  FRO RANTS are where I sit down and discuss a specific topic as an audio only podcast.     In this FRO RANT I discuss the death of the photography school.  This rant was brought on by the news that Antonelli Institute will be closing it’s doors after the next year.     That brought on the question “do you need to go to photography school to be a photographer”.     I hope you enjoy this audio podcast, be sure to check out all the other audio podcasts I am making.

Last show when we discussed not doing video a ton of you guys wrote in and said don’t get rid of video.  To clear that discussion up, I was never planning on doing away with the video, just cutting down on how many angles.    The goal is to be able to live edit the show so pretty much right after we finish recording it could be good to go out into the world.  We are testing a bunch of different solutions and we will see what we end up with soon.   Thank you guys for your continued support as the show evolves and takes on a new life.  In this episode we discuss all the Real World Reviews we were able to film, LEXAR being shut down, the Sony a9 and much more.   00:16   Audio Only 02:08   New Wheel of Fro Rules 03:31   I Like Podcasts 06:28   What's On the Android? 10:55   Coming Up Next... 11:21   RWR Sigma 135mm 12:33   RWR Nikon 8-15 FishEye 13:25   RWR Sigma 100-400mm 15:55   RWR Sony A9 and Gear of the Week 22:23   Photo News Begins With the 6D Mark 2 31:42   Lexar!!!!!!   Don't Go! 39:41   Memes of the Week 41:36   Todd's Wife as Wonder Woman 44:00   Wheel of Fro 47:52   Almost On The News

Let's start off the show with an announcement. RAWtalk will be moving to bi-weekly opposed to each week. The reason for the switch is to allow us to focus on making more "Real World Reviews" and "5 Min Portraits". This weeks show is brought to you by LEXAR. LEXAR is the official card and card reader of RAWtalk. Starting at 50:05 we have the triple critique. First we start off by critiquing Todd's first time using the Canon 5D Mark IV. Next we check out Stephen's concert photos shot with the Canon 5D Mark IV. Finally we look at my low light concert photos as a recent show. 00:00:16 Ready to Rumble? 00:01:42 RAWTalk ANNOUNCEMENT!!! 00:07:07 Another IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! 00:08:16 Plug of the Week 00:11:28 Jared's Dad Checks In 00:12:45 Photo News 00:12:59 Nikon is 100 00:14:16 Keep Your Drone Cozy 00:17:02 GH5 00:23:30 Kodak is Back, All Right 00:27:27 1 of 4 D-Day Film Rolls Survived 00:32:36 32 Inch 8K Display 00:36:07 2 Billion Dollar Chipotle Law Suit 00:42:20 Triple 4K Display Laptop 00:44:43 RED Helium is a 108? 00:46:20 Gear of the Week 00:50:05 Todd's Photo Critique 01:06:36 Stephen's Photo Critique 01:27:45 Jared's Photo Critique 01:37:17 Memes of the Week 01:42:25 Wheel of Fro

First things first do you notice anything different about the location?  If you guessed it’s a new location, you would be correct  This is the first show to be recorded at the FroFactory and we could not be happier to be in the space.  I am looking forward to what we will create over there.    Brides magazine wrote an article that has since been changed but originally made the statement that you should only hire photographers to shoot your wedding who have either Nikon or Canon cameras.  Yea, that’s an interesting statement to make, we discuss at 24:30   It’s a NEW year, a NEW location and we have a NEW mentality and direction for where the content is going to take us this year.    00:00:16   Where Are We? 00:05:40   Stephen and Todd Got New Cameras 00:09:39   Plug of the Week 00:11:43   A Gift for the Empty Loft 00:15:49   Photo News/365 Calendar Challenge 00:20:00   A Clever Proposal 00:21:35   The Largest Photo...EVER 00:24:30   "Pro Tips" from Brides.com 00:30:31   New Free Lightroom Plug-in 00:32:04   Magic Lantern DNG Break Through 00:34:44   Aperture Wrench 00:36:59   A Post Wildfire Photo Story 00:37:59   Turn Your DSLR into a 360 Camera! 00:40:26   Gear of the Week:  Amazon Dot 00:45:12   Flying Solo 01:21:17   Wheel of Fro 01:26:23   Memes of the Week 01:32:01   Hashtags of the Week

Let’s start off with that distasteful wedding photo, yes it’s flat out distasteful.  On top of it being a not great photo it’s one of those photos as a photographer you simply say na, you know what, i’m not shooting that.  That’s the type of photo your friend takes with a cell phone but not you as a working professional. 17:29   Instagram decided to take down my halloween costume photo stating that it did not meet community guidelines.  I don’t know about you but i’ve seen photos of woman wearing far less and showing more that I guess are perfectly fine to be there.    This weeks show is brought to you by RODE, WE LOVE RODE, we use RODE and you should check them out as well.    Stephen loads us up with Photo News Stories, we have an 8TB Western Digital Hard drive for gear of the week and as always we round the show up with Flying Solo, Wheel of Fro and Memes.     I hope you enjoy RAWtalk each and every week.   00:00:16   There is an imposter in town! 00:02:30   My Instagram Pic Removed?!? 00:04:20   Plug of the Week 00:08:02   I went to a Wedding, met the photographer, it went well 00:11:35   Stephen Shoots Group Love 00:15:11   Photo News Start Here, Top Photographer 00:17:29   Couple take frisky wedding photo 00:21:15   Inside Look at Nikon Glass Factory 00:22:28   Yongnuo releases 2 new items 00:23:23   Star Wars Action Figure Pics 00:24:52   Microsoft Surface Studio 00:28:50   Surface Book i7 00:29:10   The New Mac Book Pro 00:33:13   Apple teamed up with LG=5K Display 00:35:10   Afghan Girl Arrested 00:38:05   24 Karat Gold Drone 00:39:20   Life Light 00:41:10   Gear of the Week 00:43:00   Flying Solo 00:57:33   Wheel of Fro 01:00:19   Memes of the Week 01:04:42   Hash Tags of the Week

Welcome to the 2016 FroKnowsPhoto Halloween Episode. I think this years costume are pretty darn good, I hope you enjoy the show. Sweden decided to BAN ALL unlicensed fling of DRONES.

First things first I must mention this is episode #200!!!! Yes that accounts for a span of four years worth of episodes which is pure insanity.  We could not have done it without all you guys watching and interacting with the show.  This show would also not be possible without Stephen who somewhere around episode 37 took the reigns on audio and quickly found himself editing and producing the show.  The show would not be where it is today if Stephen didn’t take so much pride in it.   The biggest news story of the week can be found at 28:12 of this weeks show and its about #AskFirst before you take photos.  Should you have to ask first if you’re in public or should you be able to just shoot?  What do you guys think?   Gear of the week brought us the NEW GoPro Hero5 which based off of this weeks show we just may need to tweak some settings on.   We have Flying Solo, Wheel of Fro and finally the MEMES.  If you would like to send in your meme’s please send them to SingWheelOfFro@Gmail.com and maybe we will showcase yours.   Again we could not do this show without you so here is a BIG THANK YOU!!!!   00:00:20   Poke Philly 00:01:48   200 Episodes...not special 00:06:34   Jared's College Fashion Shoot!  00:11:24   Photo News 00:28:12   #AslForst 00:41:40   Stephens Secret Hobby 00:45:15   Gear of the Week 00:47:42   Flying Solo 00:54:05   What it takes to work for Jared 01:16:02   Wheel of Fro 01:19:15   Memes of the Week 01:23:06   Hashtags of the Week

Welcome to a special edition of RAWtalk all the way from our Berlin hotel room.  For those who did’ know, last week was Photokina which is held every other year in Cologne Germany.  Stephen, Todd and I made the trek to experience the show, see the announcements, shoot some photos and have some fun.    We chose not to cover the booths again but we did set out to film another espied of the FroKnowsPhoto Show which I can not wait to share with you.  After Cologne we flew to Berlin to spend three days and film a Real World Review of the Apple iphone 7 plus dual camera system.  I have seen the images but I will leave it at that for now.    There is no official sponsor but we gave a plug to our good friend and owner of LensCoat Scott Elowitz.  Check his stuff out, nature photographers swear by it.   Next weeks show will be back at the loft.  Thank you for your patience as we had two weeks without a NEW episode.  We should be good on shows for the next few months leading up to the end of the year.   

Instagram now lets you pinch and zoom in on photos, what do you think about this? A bus driver in Virginia was cleaning her shotguns on the porch when a drone flew by, she shot it down.

Back in college I had a resume building class.  The teacher said we should do a traditional resume as that’s what would help us get a job out of college.  Being me I thought that was a terrible idea, why would I create a traditional resume?  So I decided to create the most atypical resume you could think of.  Check out the discussion at 45:31 of this episode.    This weeks episode is brought to you by HOYA or as Todd says HOYA.  Check out their HD3 line of UV and Polarized Filters. http://www.hoyafilter.com/hoya/products/hdfilters/ There's still a chance to get your tickets for the LIVE RAWtalk in Philly on March 3rd. http://bit.ly/phillyrawtalk Does anyone remember the time I told I can’t go into Six Flags because of my I SHOOT RAW Shirt?  Turns out they may be using my video as a tool to educate their security guards.  We discuss that at 17:53   Stephen has an uninterrupted Photo News segment this week, we have gear of the week, flying solo and the Wheel of FRO.   Don’t forget to subscribe on YouTube, Facebook and iTunes.  Thank you for your continued support.   00:00:16 - Show Start 00:01:30 - Todd’s New Tether Table 00:03:31 - Reminder: Philly Live RAWtalk Coming Soon 00:04:54 - Plug: HOYA Filters 00:06:22 - Jared’s Ritz Camera Story 00:10:02 - Text of the Week 00:11:45 - Photo News 00:17:53 - Six Flags Rant Update 00:37:02 - Mail Time 00:40:58 - Gear of the Week: Canon Printer Ink 00:43:10 - Flying Solo 00:45:31 - Jared’s College Resume 01:03:12 - Introducing Dick Talk 01:10:00 - Wheel of Fro 01:14:00 - Wheel of Fro Submissions

  What is this weeks special announcement, tune in at the very beginning of the show to find out.     We want to mess with some sponsors by blowing up their twitters and asking for “some free shit”.  Go ahead and send separate tweets to @LexarMemory @VideoBlocks @AdoramaPIX and ask for some “Free Shit”.  Be sure to let them know that @FroKnowsPhoto sent you.  Thanks for that.    This week I invited Eric Adams onto the show.  Most of you will not know who he is but for the past 24 years he has been a prominent writer with numerous national magazines.  Over the past few years he has started to venture into the photo world so he can offer not just writing but photography, aka be a double threat.  This was a fun and informative interview.  I think many of you will find yourself in the same boat as Eric, have a non photography job but love photography and looking for a way to incorporate it into your job.     For gear of the week I chose to use full bleed prints from the Canon Prograph 1000 since we just finished up the Real World Review on it.  Stay tuned for that in the not to distant future.   Thank you guys for your continued support, if you haven’t subscribed on YouTube yet please do so.   00:00:16 - Todd’s Special Announcement 00:03:30 - Introducing the Fro Factory 00:06:53 - Noah’s Confession 00:07:52 - Tweet Our Sponsors 00:11:19 - Photo News 00:33:55 - Eric Adams Interview 01:11:22 - Gear of the Week 01:13:30 - Wheel of Fro

  I must have had 200 people send me the article discussing Reuters supposedly “banning RAW files” and knew I needed to take a close look at what they were actually saying.  The reason so many people were up in arms is because they read a headline that mentioned “banning raw” in it.  The truth of the matter is RAW was not being banned, editing was.  We go in depth on this news at 13:15 of the show.    This weeks show is brought to you by ATOMOS which we use and LOVE.  If you’re looking to get a clean signal straight off the camera and get beyond the 20/30 min record limit you need to check out Atomos.  They have units starting as low as $295 that will get anyone in the game to get longer record times and much better video quality.  Go check them out.    Bruce Bennett was back on the show this week to discuss the release of his new book “Hockey’s Greatest Photos”.  You don’t have to love hockey to enjoy this discussion that takes us through the journey of creating this photo book.  Bruce was also on RAWtalk 106 with an awesome interview done on the Philadelphia Flyers bench.    Gear of the week is the Sony RX100 IV pocket camera that we just did an unboxing and sniff test of.    We spun the wheel and we requested that you send in your audio recording of you saying “Spin That WHEEEEEEELLLLL” to SingWheelOfFro at Gmail dot com.    Thank you guys for your continued support.

The first time was Episode #80 when he had only 30,000 youtube subscribers.  Now he’s back and has raised his number to over 150,000.  No he’s not a photographer or videographer, he is a hair dresser.  He’s a hairdresser who has built a following and is now sharing with me how he did it so it can help you.  Don’t forget that I started with ZERO subscribers and so did Matt, you can learn a lot from what he’s doing to help your business no matter what it is.   We talk all things Misterwvies as both Stephen and I shot the show and Todd was there to dance during their last song.  I had all access to shoot anything and everything and Stephen had access to the pit.     This weeks show is PLUG FREE because their are five Mondays in November but we wanted to thank VideoBlocks and Atomos for their continued support.  It’s because of sponsors like them that we are able to bring this show to you.   We have Gear of the Week and no flying solo but we have the Wheel of FRO.  Thank you guys for your continued support and please enjoy the show.       

The Wedding Photographer was a NO SHOW: RAWtalk 156   It turns out that the wedding photographer did not show up to a wedding I was attending a few weeks back.  I debating taking my camera bag with me but ultimately opted to leave it home.  The only thing I brought with me was the DXO One.  Check out 5:05 of this episode to hear the story and see some of the images I was able to capture.    This weeks show is brought to you by VideoBlocks. As you know we love VideoBlocks and long before they were a sponsor we were using their product.  I ever personally signed up for the seven day free trial where I needed to enter a credit card and wasn't happy about it. Now you can get a FREE 7 day no credit card needed trial Right Here http://videoblocks.com/go/froknowsfree   What is YouTube red and what’s it mean for you and I?   What happens when a photographer who sells educational products online tells anyone who purchases her products that they can’t make videos or teach photography for two years?   Stephen hit’s us with his photo news all before we discuss the Flying Solo questions and finish with some Gear Of The Week: Nikon 24-70 2.8 VR.   Enjoy the show and thank you for your continued support.   Show Intro - 00:00:16 Jared's Wedding Photographer Story - 00:05:03 YouTube Red Discussion - 00:16:50 Photo News - 00:24:46 Photography Non-Compete Story - 00:49:22 Flying Solo - 01:13:15 Gear of the Week - 01:20:18 Wheel of Fro - 01:22:16  

This is a special Halloween episode as well as a late night recording show which means we had a few drinks and a lot of fun.  I had just landed from Minnesota and came right home to record the show with the guys.     This weeks show is brought to you by HOYA and their brand new killer filters the HD3’s.  We love them and so do many of you, check them out.    Instead of Flying Solo this week, I changed it up and request your “Photography Horror” stories.  We all have them and you guys submitted some really scary ones that hopefully never happen to any of us.    Stephen hits us with his drunken photo news followed by gear of the week, wheel of FRO and a lot of laughs.     Thank you for your continued support of RAWtalk!!!

 Let’s get right to it, we filmed what we are calling the Pilot episode of the FroKnowsPhoto Show.  We give you a sneak peek of the intro at 11:46 of this weeks RAWtalk.  Many of you remember when we did RAWtalk from the Grand Canyon, well while we were there we did much more.  We filmed an entire episode of a “reality” show centered around travel, adventure and photography.  Check out the trailer for yourself and let us know what you think.    This weeks show is brought to you by ATOMOS.  The NEW Atomos Assassin which we so happen to be using this week is an extremely adorable 4k monitor and recorder.  We love this recorder because not only do we get a clean signal from our cameras sensors via HDMI we get a HUGE 7 inch monitor and a 4k recorder.  Getting all of that for an affordable price is insane.  I keep saying it, you could pay the same amount for just a monitor without the recording option.  You might as well get this bad boy, check out Atomos.com   Todd brought in his maternity photos from when his wife was pregnant with his daughter.  I must say, Todd’s face and look in the video is just priceless.  Check it out.    We have Photo News with Stephen, Flying Solo and the Wheel Of FRO.   Thank you guys for your continued support and watching the show each and every week, we appreciate your support.  Show Intro - 00:00:16 TV Show Teaser - 00:07:57 Todd’s Prego Pics - 00:13:30 Photo News - 00:18:00 Flying Solo - 00:58:19 Wheel of Fro - 01:29:22

I don’t like to fight generally but when I do I make sure it’s at the airport after you go through security so you know there’s a good chance the other person doesn’t have any weapons.  This is just a stupid story but I think it’s one worth telling.   This weeks show is sponsored by RODE who wants to give you 50% OFF all MERCH in their store when you use code FroKnowsPhoto until the 19th.  You can’t go wrong with their gear as it’s not only well made but dam affordable with or without the code.    Don’t forget I am giving away a camera, check out the site for how you can enter.    I got to play with the DXO one camera, Stephen catches us up on photo news and two winners get picked for the Wheel of FRO.   Thanks to everyone for their continued support week in and week out it is greatly appreciated.    00:00:16 - Show Intro 00:06:45 - Seattle Recap 00:14:17 - Photo News 00:49:23 - Flying Solo 01:25:51 - Gear of the Week 01:28:38 - Wheel of Fro

This week we finally take a look at Todd’s attempt at shooting photos at a wedding.  We find out why he was asked in the first place and we learn that he used iPhoto to edit the RAW files.  We apologize in advance if you are listening to this as audio only as you won’t get a chance to see the photos until you can watch the video.    This weeks show is brought to you by GraphicStock, VideoBlocks and AudioBlocks.  It’s simple, try them out if you do any type of video creating.  We use something from either one of those services in almost every video we produce.    I discussed my Pope Photos along with the Rode VideoMicro as gear of the week and Stephen hits us with some Photo News.  Show Intro - 00:00:16 Camera Giveaway Announcement - 00:09:51 Pope Recap - 00:13:07 Photo News - 00:20:05 Gear of the Week - 00:58:35 Todd's Wedding Photos Critique - 01:02:05 Wheel of Fro - 01:42:48

After our week of for Stephens much needed vacation we’re back with a brand new extended episode of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk, the greatest photography podcast with video in the entire world.   This weeks show is brought to you by HOYA with their new HD3 line of filters that are smoother and HARDER you can’t go wrong with HOYA.  They are John Wayne Bobbit approved.   We had some much to talk about this week.  Everything from Stephens vacation to the #BlameStephen movement to the POPE coming to Philly.  This is an action backed show with a lot of information, news and laughs.     Thank you to everyone out there for their continued support and to all the sponsors who keep this a FREE podcast for everyone out there.   Show Intro - 00:00:16 Pope Talk - 00:09:46 Canon Expo Recap - 00:13:15 Photo News - 00:19:32 Gear of the Week - 01:08:05 Flying Solo - 01:11:15 Wheel of Fro - 01:47:30

It might be a good idea to make this weeks show last.  The reason being is there will be no show next week as Stephen is out on vacation with his family.  He works so hard week in and week out not just on RAWtalk but many aspects of the brand that most don’t get to see.  This is a well deserved break and I hope he enjoys it.     This weeks show is brought to you by RODE who just announced their smallest ever on camera microphone called the VideoMicro.  There no longer is an excuse for terrible audio coming from your camera being that this is priced to sell at $59.  It requires no batteries and it has no switches.  It’s made well, it’s ready for prime time and if you’re in the market for an inexpensive mic that gets the job done click here.   This week we have photo news as always brought to you by Stephen of course with photo news music supplied by AutioBlocks.com/go/fro    Gear of the week brought us a product from Turbo Ace that works really really well.  And we wrap up the show with the Wheel of FRO.   Thank you guys for your continued support week in and week out.  We strive to keep the show fun and informative and can not wait to start traveling the world with a nice Mobile RAWtalk setup.   Listen for #tags in this weeks show.        

Right off the bat we had a little snafu this week.  We did not focus the center camera during our pre show check which means we will be cutting around the center angle the entire show. From here on out we will have a nice little checklist to follow before we roll.     It looks like we cracked the two hour mark once again.  We had a lot of topics to discuss from Avirl being single to Todd shooting a wedding to the sigma 150-600, photo news and more.   This weeks show is brought to you by ATOMOS who just released the Atomos Assassin.  The assassin is 10% light and 35% more adorable then it’s big brother the shotgun.  What I love about it is it has the same 7 inch screen as the shotgun and records 4k straight from the cameras sensor.  Where the shotgun is the top of the line for high end cameras as well as DSLR’s, the assassin is the perfect match for DSLR’s and mirrorless cameras.  Check out more info right here.      Be sure to subscribe on iTunes to get the latest episode sent to you as soon as it goes live.

If you’re not sure about the title of this weeks episode be sure to listen to the entire episode.     Welcome back to another fun filled episode of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk the world most interesting Photography Podcast ever as voted by you the listeners.    This weeks episode is brought to you by AudioBlocks, VideoBlocks and GraphicStock.  I have said it time and time again, if you are moving into video and editing you will NEED the glue that those sites supply.  Check it out and get your FREE trials underway.    Photos News as always is curated by Stephen.  We skipped gear of the week due to time and we wrapped up the show with Flying Solo and Wheel of FRO.  This weeks questions kicked ass and were related to situations, advertising, marketing and branding.    I hope you enjoy.  Thank you to LEXAR the official card of the show and all the other sponsors for their continued support.   Show Intro - 00:00:16 Photo News - 00:12:37 Flying Solo - 00:40:48   Wheel of Fro - 01:30:16

The Mirrorless VS DSLR debate seems to be heating up as of late.  For the last few years people have been championing their switch from DSLR to all different types of Mirrorless Systems.  It’s now time for me to start to educate myself on all things Mirrorless so I can share my finds with everyone out there.  I am in no way opposed to the emerging technologies but what I am opposed to are the people who are quick to jump ship because the wind is blowing one way.    This week I dedicated the entire Flying Solo potation of the show to questions about Mirrorless VS DSLR.  My goal was to see what was on your minds as consumers and help to answer as many questions as I could.    HOYA is this weeks sponsor.  They just announced their new line of HD3 Series of professional filters designed for extreme environmental conditions.  They are 4X Stronger than standard optional glass and 800% yes 800% harder than previous generations.  They also have the ability to make water bead right off in case you are shooting gin a wet environment.  The truth of the matter is, if you are someone who feels the need to add a UV filter to the end of your lens you can not go wrong with this new series.  There are far more benefits to using a Hoya HD3 then simply blocking UV.  It can cut down on glare which can lead to a sharper better image.  It’s easier to clean when it gets dirty because of it’s special coating.  It does protect your front element and much more.  Check out more information right here.    Photo News with Stephen has started to take on a very interesting life of it’s own. Stephen hits us with some really solid news stories this week and Todd and I fill in with some color where needed.    Gear of the week plays perfectly into the title of this weeks show where we showcased a few different brands of popular mirrorless cameras.   Like I said above, flying solo was dedicated solely to discussing mirrorless technologies and where I think the market is going.    We wrapped the show up with the Wheel of FRO so be sure to check out if you were the lucky wheel winner.      Thanks to RODE, Atomos, LEXAR (the official card of RAWtalk) and everyone else on the wheel of FRO.   Show Intro - 00:00:16 Photo News - 00:10:10 Gear of the Week - 00:34:10 Flying Solo - 00:37:45   Wheel of Fro - 01:13:10

No my eyes weren’t red but I did fly in on a RED EYE the morning of RAWtalk.  I left Vegas on a 12:30 AM flight that got me back into Philly at 8am. EST.  From there I had a few meetings to take care of and without sleep it was now time to film the latest episode of RAWtalk.  To put it mildly, I was a little tired for the show.    This weeks show is brought to you by ATOMOS.  Wether we are filming RAWtalk, recording 4k or simply using it as a monitor we LOVE OUR ATOMOS’s.  We use the shogun which lets us record 4k out of cameras and lets us record longer than the 20 or 30 min limits of DSLR’s.  If you need something that lets you do what I mentioned above please check out Atomos.com.   RANT: Shitty house photos that Realtors take that they think will help them sell their houses.  GET WITH the times, either learn to take quality images or hire someone who will.    Photos news with Stephen this week was not interrupted my me or Todd.  If you believe that I have a bridge for sale I would like to sell you.    We FLEW Solo as well as spun the Wheel of FRO.   Don’t forget that new shows go LIVE every Monday as both audio and full video.  Please subscribe on iTunes so the latest episodes will download automatically.    00:00:00 - Show Intro 00:07:47 - Photoshop World Recap 00:13:56 - Realtor Rant 00:18:00 - Photo News 00:52:24 - Flying Solo   01:19:20 - Wheel of Fro

It’s been a long time in the making and the stars finally aligned to allow me to interview Trey Ratcliff right here in the loft.  Trey is one of the most well known photographers online and is most commonly associated with HDR photography (high dynamic range).  As man¥ of you know I have been very outspoken about not liking HDR in the past.  Most of this stems from seeing really bad HDR.  Trey on the other hand does HDR right and tries to share his methods with as many people as possible.  No that does not mean I will be doing HDR anytime soon.  But you can not deny the success and you have to give major credit where credit is due.  Check out the FULL Interview at 33:54   This weeks episode is brought to you by RODE microphones.  As you know we use the RODE broadcaster microphones each and every week.  RODE not only makes these high end mics but they have other extremely affordable shot gun, condensers, broadcast and even lavalier offerings.  If you entered the MyRodeReel.com competition RODE wanted me to let you know to keep an eye on your mailbox for a FREE microphone that will be showing up.  How cool is that, not only do they run a free contest but they end up sending every participant a FREE microphone.    Announcing the 3rd Annual Allen’s Nikon-A-Palooza taking place on Saturday September 12th from 10:30am - 3:30pm at Allen’s Camera.  For all the information please click here http://froknowsphoto.com/3rd-anual-allens-a-palooza/   WARNING - If you are eating or drinking or in a quiet place while watching or listening to photo news you may want to be careful.  We can not guarantee that you won’t bust out laughing and disturb the people around you.    Gear of the week was our new Masterclick, which is one of the coolest dam clocks I have ever seen.   We finished off the show with Wheel of FRO as we also do and want to thank all the sponsors who’s names are up on the board.    Don’t forget new RAWtalks go live every Monday both as audio and video so be sure to subscribe on iTunes or YouTube to be noticed when the latest shows go live.   Show Intro - 00:00:16 Allens-Nikon-A-Palooza - 00:05:58 Photo News - 00:08:43 Trey Ratcliff Interview - 00:33:54 Gear of the Week - 01:22:07   Wheel of Fro - 01:24:34

Let’s start off with what has changed.  First you may notice my hair has a more round shaped look.  That’s because for the first time in 8 and a half years I sat in the barbers chair and got my hair trimmed.  My goal was to give it a nice shape, think basketball aka nice and round.  I think e succeeded there though change does not come easy for me.     On top of that the crew and I decide to do a “reset” of the RAWtalk angles.  We wanted to make the center camera tighter which involved Stephen and I not sitting directly across from each other.  We switched up the position for the tables which made room for Todd’s seat and more room all around in general.  It may seem like a large change but it really makes a difference in the end product.    This weeks show was brought to you by GraphicStock.  You have heard us talk about VideoBocks and AudioBlocks but to go along with those two you have GraphicStock.  A place where you can get over 250,000 Graphics, images, vectors, icons, buttons and more.  Sometimes you need to pull stock images for your videos or design projects so I suggest you check out GraphicStock right here.    Photo News brings you the latest news from the prior week in Photography.  We discuss it, comment on it and bring light to the most relevant and popular stories in photography.    Gear of the week this week came from Canon who sent us their mega zoom Point and Shoot camera to play with.  We will take this out of the box and give it a look in the not to distant future.    Last week when we spun the Wheel of FRO we did not have any names to choose from so I decided that this week we would select two people from the “Flying Solo” portion.  The first person selected won the prize form last week which was something from LEXAR.  With one SPIN of the wheel we finally landed on the Grand Prize which was the Atomos Ninja 2 valued at $699.99.  I don’t recall which show started the Wheel of FRO with the biggest prize option but after at least 100 shows we finally hit the big one.    Thank you guys so much for watching each and every week.  Don’t forget that new shows come out each Monday both as Audio and Video for your listening and viewing pleasures.     Lexar is the official memory card of RAWtalk.  Thanks to all the companies on the wheel of FRO.   Show Intro - 00:00:16 Photo News - 00:07:15 Flying Solo - 00:27:30 Gear of the Week - 01:05:22   Wheel of Fro - 01:09:30

Eyes, they are so very integral to every day life and even more so when your business revolves around seeing the world and capturing it.  Many people don’t know that I was born with an eye condition that causes my eyes to shake which in turn hurts my vision.      I have been seeing one of the best eye doctors in the world named Harold P. Koller since I was a small child.  In fact he did surgery on me that involved cutting the muscles in my eyes and relocating them into another position.   I’ve always wanted to sit down with Dr. Koller for a discussion because I know he can pass along some fantastic information.  This interview isn’t just about my eyes, it’s about how you should be taking care of yours.  What are the warning signs to look out for to determine if there may be an eye issue and what to do if that happens.  Check out the interview at 51:58 to hear out entire discussion.    This weeks episode is brought to you by TOKINA.  Tokina is a lens manufacture with deep roots into lens manufacturing.  They make consumer glass, professional glass as well as super high end optics for the movie industry.  I got to hold onto one of their cinematic lenses at NAB this year and all I can say is WOW what a fantastic hunk of glass.  They may not have the largest lineup of lenses but the ones they do have are worth a peak.  They just released a 24-70 2.8 lens that if you’re tight on cash and need a killer full frame lens this one could be for you.  Check it out right here http://bit.ly/1I3AEVt   Stephen brings us the weeks “Photo NEWS” each episode where he takes the largest stories around and shares them.  Todd is back this week with his commentary and we continue to test out the GoPro Hero4 Session on his angle.     Gear of the week this weeks brings us the Tilta by Ikan which is an affordable rig if you are in the market for one.  It’s not the cheapest and it’s not the most expensive, it falls right in the middle and may be the right fit for you.  BorrowLenses was kind enough to send me out a Canon XC10 to test out, so we discuss that and a few more things.    Wheel Of FRO got spun but I honestly didn’t have a name prepared which means I will pick two people for next weeks episode.  One will spin the wheel FRESH and the other will win the LEXAR prize from this week.    Thanks to everyone out there who continues to support the show including the sponsors on the Wheel of FRO.  See below for the table of contents from this show.   Show Intro - 00:00:16 Photo News - 00:11:12 Update - 00:42:25 Dr. Harold P.

Over the past month or so there has been a lot of concern over many larger bands photo contracts.  One in particular is the Foo Fighters photo release you must sign before shooting them.  Yes the contact is over the top, yes it discusses turning over the copyrights but no it’s not really as big of a deal as you think.  What’s going on is people are blowing the release way out of proportion.  You have a choice, you can sign it and shoot or you could do neither.  It’s no skin off the bands back since you would simply be shooting the same photos as everyone else.   What you have to understand is the contract doesn’t say you can’t use the images, it doesn’t say they will take your ownership right from under you.  It says they have the ability to do whatever they want with your images if and only if they ever ask you for them.  Do you see any spaces on the contract that asks for contact info, NO.   So why did I choose to sign the contract?  One, I was work for hire, meaning I was getting paid to shoot the photos.  Two if someone is paying me to use the photos they need the rights to use the photos.  Three, what else would I be doing?  Sitting at home wishing I was shooting something opposed to actually putting myself in a position to be successful.    I never expected to end up shooting backstage, it just happened.  But the truth of the matter is I can not share those images without permission.  You know what, I am fine with that right now because I was work for hire.  I shouldn’t be able to just share the images without permission in this one case.  I want to share them but our agreement said I needed them to sign off on it.   The moral of the story is by me going out and shooting, aka doing my job, I may have opened up some very important doors.  Am I guaranteed anything further, nope.  That’s okay with me because guess what, I already got my foot in the door, I did the work and they LIKED IT, the liked it a lot.    This weeks episode is brought to you by ATOMOS.  If you are investing in anything 4K and you want to give yourself the ability to select a professional codec, you should check out the shogun.  Not only will you be able to record in professional codecs, you have a larger screen, tons of pro functions, better audio and so much more.  If you’re not in the market for a 4k camera and simply want an inexpensive way to record longer than 20 or 30 min you should check out the “bare bones” option starting at $395.  Check it out right here http://www.atomos.com/   Stephen brings us this weeks photo stories and much much more.  While Todd fills his chair and we test out “Todd cam” with the new GoPro Hero4 Session.    Gear of the week is my very own I SHOOT RAW ThinkTank Photo Retrospective 30 bag.  If you’re in the market for a shoulder bag, this is the one bag you will own for many years to come.  It fits everything I need on a shoot and is built to last.  You can pick up a bag right here http://bit.ly/rawbag   Thank you to all our sponsors and everyone who checks out the show each week.  LEXAR is the official card of RAWtalk.    

We already have four camera angles so what’s one more.  This week we added the “Todd Cam” aka the camera pointed right at his face.  We hope you enjoy the added angle.     This weeks Plug is brought to you by RODE Microphones.  As you know we use their Broadcaster mics each and every week even when we hit up the Grand Canyon.  Rode makes mics ranking from simple wired lavs to USB and XLR and microphones for your DSLR.  Check them out at RODE.com    I have to say I have not laughed so much during a show ever.  Adding Todd to the chair has really added a fun spark for Stephen and I and hope you enjoy the added flair as well.    Stephen hit’s us with his Photo News Stories which include everything from Photos on Maps to the Foo Fights contract and beyond.    This week was another Flying Solo Week. If you are curious how we select questions, this is how we do it.   Generally the night before a flying solo show I place a video on Facebook requesting questions be submitted.  From those questions I select the ones to be read on the show.  One of the people who asked the question may get a chance to spin the Wheel of FRO!!!     Thank you again for all your support and don’t forget to subscribe on iTunes.  Thank you to all the sponsors including RODE, LEXAR, Atomos, Kenko Tokina and everyone on the Wheel Of Fro.  We couldn’t do it without you.    00:00:16 - Show Intro 00:09:34 - Photo News 00:43:33 - Flying Solo 01:16:35 - Gear of the Week   01:19:53 - Wheel of Fro  

We made the 2:45 min trip down south to Reston Virginia to do a LIVE Mobile RAWtalk from the VideoBlocks HQ.  Not only did we pack the house but I got to sit down with the founder and CEO of VideoBlocks Joel Holland.  If you want to know how one person with an idea can go from living in his parents basement to selling a million DVD’s over the internet check out 33:14.  Sitting down with Joel and hearing his story about turning down a six figure job out of college to try and turn and idea into a business was awe-inspiring.  This interview should light a fire under everybody’s ass out there.  If you want something go after it.   This weeks Episode is brought to you by VideoBlocks.com.  As you can tell we were LIVE at their HQ and Joel gave a fantastic interview.  I really don’t need to sell you on VideoBlocks, it sells itself once you give it a try.  To try it out click here.   Photo News brings us stories from all around the photo world including the one I created #RespectPhotographers.  I called out the LIVE Nation CEO for the companies practice of not paying house photographers and asking for all their rights.  We cover that and much more during this weeks Photo News.    As we like to do with all Mobile RAWtalks we do a LIVE Flying Solo where I A’ed a bunch of Q’s.  These are always fun because I never know what anyone will ask and I have to be on my toes.  Finally we brought with us a min Wheel Of FRO to give it a spin and it landed on….. check out 1:48:42 of the show to see where it stopped.    A huge thank you to everyone who came out to the mobile RAWtalk and to VideoBlocks for hosting the show.  Joel, thank you for crushing the interview with some amazing and motivational stories.   00:00:16 - Show Intro 00:06:24 - Photo News 00:25:25 - Live Nation Story 00:33:14 - Videoblocks CEO & Founder Interview 01:12:28 - "Live" Flying Solo 01:48:42 - Wheel of Fro

It’s generally not easy coming up with titles for RAWtalk Episodes and this week was no exception. So here’s what we had, a seat got filled, I RANTED slightly, we had no main plug, we flew solo and we had a cool gear of the week. If you can pull a title out of all of that please let m know. Photo news this week was filled to the brim once again. If you missed my Rant on the Taylor Swift photo contract you will be filled in this week. Flying solo brought out some great questions as usual so I hope you find some nuggets in my answers. Thank you guys again for your continued support of each weeks episodes.

For the past 7 years I have been trying to track down Danny Clinch.  Well, I finally had the chance to sit down with him for a very intimate interview recorded at his NYC studio.  For those who don’t know Danny, let me just say he has defined music lifestyle and advertising photos over the past 20+ years.  He is more than just a “music” photographer, he is a photographer who captures and shares images that tell stories.     There are sometimes interviews where I need to talk a lot, this was not one of them.  I was able to ask a question, sit back and listen to Danny share his entire world with us.  Listen to how he got started.  Listen to the dues he paid a long the way.  And listen to how he continues to evolve time and time again to stay relevant in an ever changing world.  This my friends, is a REAL RAWtalk, nothing was held back, nothing was glossed over, nothing was said with kid gloves.  You can pick up a signed copy of “Still Moving” right here. http://dannyclinch.bigcartel.com/product/still-moving-book   This weeks show PLUG was courtesy of AudioBlocks, VideoBlocks and GraphicStock.  They have been a major partner over the past six months who have afforded us the ability to take our shows and videos to another level.  On top of that they offer an amazing top notch service that we have been using for the past few years.  Give their services a try, if you are a creator, the tools they have with make your content that much better.  Get your trials right here.

This was a big week for Photo News with most of it centered around SONY announcing some new cameras that are sure to shake up the photo industry.  What SONY has done is spent the last decade or so carving out their niche.  I get asked all the time why I don’t like “mirror less” cameras.  I don’t dislike them I just don’t think they are there yet.  Do you notice what is going on with the new Sony A7, the grip has gotten larger, the buttons have shifted and it’s taking on a large feel.  What you’re going to see is the best of both worlds come together in the next 10 years.    ATOMOS  ATOMOS ATOMOS, this weeks sponsor is Atomos and they were featuring the “Action Pack”.  Check out more information about it right here. http://atomos.com/ .  We use the Atomos each week when we are in the studio.  It allows us to take just about any DSLR and via HDMI get a clean signal out allowing for recordings longer than what a normal DSLR will give you.  You have to check them out if you haven’t done so yet.    This week we brought something new out for the show and it’s also our gear of the week.  We used the Redrock Micro “One Man Crew” director.  You have to check this thing out if you are a one man band looking to add some motion into your videos.  http://store.redrockmicro.com/OneManCrew.html   We had a few weeks off from Flying Solo so this week we brought it back to answer your questions followed by the Wheel Of FRO.   Don’t forget to check out all the photo news and more over at FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-137   Show Intro: 00:00:16 Photo News: 00:06:30 Gear of the Week: 00:37:27 Flying Solo: 00:40:02   Wheel of Fro: 01:11:35

I had the chance to have arguably one of the best Wedding Photographers in the world Cliff Mautner into the loft for a little sit-down discussion.  Cliff does not hold back on his thoughts on the current state of wedding photography or anything else for that matter.   But what I love about the interview is it’s no BS.  It’s honest, it’s to the point and it’s filled with solid gold nuggets of information that you can cash and take to the bank.  Don’t let our discussion dissuade you from going after weddings.  Let it be a guide to help you navigate the sometimes turbulent waters of wedding photography and not let you get sunk.  Heed the warnings, take them to heart, learn from them and you will find your way to the other side.  http://www.cmphotography.com/   PLUG TIME:  This weeks sponsor is RODE Microphone, we absolutely love our Rode Broadcasters which CRUSHED I mean CRUSHED it while out at the Grand Canyon.  Do you remember the MyRodeReel.com competition where you could enter to WIN over $200,000 in prizes?  Well all the submissions are in and it’s your turn to VOTE and check out all the submissions RIGHT HERE http://www.rode.com/myrodereel   Stephen loaded up on Photo News this week, gear of the week brought us a bag from MindShift Gear and we SPUN the Wheel of FRO twice.  The winners are Mike Hall (RODE mic) and Kaleb Autman (Fro Guides)   Thank you for your continued support and don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast on iTunes so you can get notified of as soon as new episodes go LIVE on Monday’s.          

WARNING: this is a very visual episode that I highly suggest you watch the video if you can!!!   No that was not a massive green screen, we were truly filming RAWtalk on the edge of the Grand Canyon thanks to AdventureDriven.com.  Can you believe how amazing it looks.  We filmed this weeks show with two Canon C300’s, a 5D Mark III, GoPro and DJI Phantom 3 PRO for the arial shots.   This weeks sponsor so happens to be a LIFE SAVER for shooting landscape photos.  HOYA supplied me with all the filters I needed to help make my pictures go BOOOOOOMMMM at the Grand Canyon.  Having their circular polarizers on my lenses helped pump up the sky as well as the color in my images.  Just think how amazing the world looks when you where polarized sunglasses.  Now add that in front of your camera lenses and you have fantastically vibrant photos.  Here is a link to the exact CP I used form HOYA http://www.hoyafilter.com/hoya/products/hdfilters/hdfiltercirpl/   As you can tell this weeks show took us to an amazing place.  We had to change up the show slightly for obvious reasons but we cranked through photo news which included two main but very long stories.  One involves Anthony Mazur a 16 year old High School student and the other Richard Prince who took peoples Instagram Photos and sold them for upwards of $100,000.     You can check out the FULL Photo News Stories and more at FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-135    We had a ton of gear out with us but this weeks Gear of the Week was the Hoya Filters and step down rings which were a life saver.  Also JOBY sent us car mounts for our GoPro’s which turned out to be freaking amazing.  We had them attached to our vehicles in so many situations and they handled the harsh environment with flying colors.    If there is an amazing place you would like to help bring RAWtalk please feel free to email me directly at Jared AT FroKnowsPhoto.com with all the information.    

Let’s start off with the title story from Photo News where a rugby player decided after scoring to take out a sharpie and sign the camera persons lens.  If there was a filter on the lens than it wouldn’t be such a big deal.  Since there wasn’t, that just might cost someone a lot of money.  You can hear the full story at 09:51.   What would have saved that cameras lens would have been pretty much any filter from HOYA.  And if it were the EVO filter by HOYA the sharpie would not have left a mark and would have been able to be wiped right off without any issue.  We picked up a bunch of HOYA filters to take to the Grand Canyon.  We have everything from ND to Polarizers and everything else in-between.  To learn more about this weeks sponsor please click here http://bit.ly/1Sx6lOB   Photo news was extra packed this week with stories ranging from that sharpie one to new Apple Computer products to a freaking DOG mount from Nikon.  Be sure to check out the full photo news stories and more starting at 09:21    Last weeks show brought us situational questions for "Flying Solo” and since they were so good I decided to try it one more time.  Take a close listen as you might find yourself in the same situation as the people asking questions.    Don’t miss gear of the week as well as the Wheel of FRO to see if you are the lucky person who got to spin it.     ***PSA for next weeks show***  Next weeks show will be released at least a day late.  As soon as it’s ready we will have it up and LIVE for you all to enjoy.  In the meantime go back and listen to some older episodes that you may have missed. 

It’s not often I am grossed out by a story but this one really left me scatting my head. Honestly the story and the photo’s in my opinion are so gross that I can’t talk about it anymore.  To see the story I am taking about skip to 27:48.  Consider yourself warned.    This weeks Episode is brought to you by the fine people at AudioBlocks and VideoBlocks.  If you want to know where all the menstrual flow music came from this week you can find yours at AudioBlocks.com/go/fro .  My team has been using both AudioBlocks and VideoBlocks for the past two years and we love it.  Please give it a try if you have a need for royalty FREE audio or video and I know you will not be disappointed in the service.    Photo News got a little heated this week with stories ranging from the new Canon 50 1.8 to a wedding photographer calling out one of his brides than saying he was hacked to flowing blood photos.  Give the Photo News a listen and enjoy.    I put out the request for “Situational” type of questions to be sent in to change up Flying Solo.  I must say the situations that you guys brought up were fantastic and made for some highly entertaining and informative answers.    Don’t forget that new RAWtalks come out every Monday and if you subscribe on iTunes you have the ability to auto download all new episodes so they are waiting for you.       

Before I jump into this weeks show I want to dedicate it to Allen from Allen’s camera who passed away last night at the store.  Allen was there for me at the beginning and was one of the main catalysts to the early success of FroKnowsPhoto.com.   What does “On Fleek” mean?  Honestly it’s a made up term that if you look up on YouTube you just might find yourself laughing.   This weeks episode is sponsored by ATOMOS http://bit.ly/froatomos who has been extremely supportive of the site and the show since way early on.  If you are looking to pick up a Sony A7s to shoot 4k video you will also need an Atomos Shogun.  The great thing is if you purchase both of them (doesn’t have to be at the same time) you will get a $500 rebate.  Check out the new Atomos Power Station as well as the Barebones units which are priced to sell!!!!!   During Stepgens photo news I may or may not have interrupted or broken into song, but you will find out shortly.     Flying solo was back once again with more solid questions along with gear of the week and the Wheel of the FRO.     Thank you guys very much for your continued support and don’t forget to watch or listen to RAWtalk every Monday.

I want to start off and say we filmed this weeks RAWtalk on Thursday afternoon and it wasn’t until Friday that we found out that Allen from Allen’s Camera had passed away.  I will be having a special segment dedicated to Allen on the next episode.    Some of you know I ordered two apple watches for a project idea that I have been working on.  The plan was to do my project and return the watches within the first 14 days.  It turns out that I am really enjoying the watch so I decided to keep one.  That left me the Apple Watch Sport to return or keep.  I decided to gift it to Stephen for all his hard work over the last two years.    RODE RODE RODE RODE MyRodeReel.com competition is still in full effect and you have a chance to enter any of the 19 categories for your chance to win some of the $200,000 in prizes.  There is even a category for movies captured entirely on a cell phone.  So honestly you have nothing to lose, read up on the rules right here for your chance to WIN. http://bit.ly/1dGHzeU     I decided to strap GoPro Hero 4 to my hockey helmet when I played in a charity tournament this weekend.  I must say the footage looks fantastic and I am looking forward to cutting it up for everyone to see.  Stephen added a clip for you guys to watch during this weeks show.    As always we have Photo News with Stephen followed by another solid round of Flying Solo where you get to submit your questions to be answered on the show.      For those who don’t know, NEW episodes of RAWtalk go live on Mondays and you can find the full photo news stories and more at FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-131

It’s not every week that I get over 350 Flying Solo questions but this week you guys delivered.  I must say there were so many great questions that I chose a few extra to squeeze in as many answers as I could.  The truth will be told during this weeks episode.    I want us all to welcome a NEW sponsor this week, Kenko / Tokina http://www.kenkotokinausa.com/tokina/ .  I am almost positive you guys all have heard of Tokina and the lenses that they make for stills and video.  But they also work with a company named Hoya who makes all different types of filters.  Please take a look around their site and see what they offer as they support the show and I support them.   Stephen brought us the photo news this week with stories that range from the strange to the funny and informative.  Be sure to check out the full photo news stories and more.   Do you like Photo Books?  Have you ever made a real deal photo book?  If not I highly recommend using the code “pxfro35md” before May 16th to get 35% OFF your order of Photo Books at AdoramaPix.com .     Please enjoy the show and don’t forget that new episodes arrive on Mondays.

We are back from Las Vegas where we covered NAB 2015 thanks to our sponsor VideoBlocks.com/go/fro !!!!  Todd, Stephen and I made the trip to make sure we brought you the best coverage you will find from this years NAB.  That full on video will be out shortly but we had to bring you this weeks RAWtalk first.    The first part of the show starts off like normal but somewhere in the middle we take you back to our Las Vegas hotel room where the three of us look at all the cool toys we discovered at NAB.     A big thank you to VideoBlocks for not only being the sponsor of this weeks RAWtalk but the sponsor who made our NAB 2015 trip possible.  If you would like to try out VideoBlocks for yourself be sure to go to VideoBlocks.com/go/fro to get your 7 day trial.  Give it a spin, I know once you use it as an editor you won’t want to be without it.    Did you enjoy the BTS Snap Chats from NAB?  Did Todd do a great job and should he be in charge of Snap Chat on trips in the future?   Dive into this weeks show head first because I know you are going to LOVE IT!!!     This is RAWtalk Episode #129

There is an ongoing debate wether or not you should post your wedding package and portrait pricing on your website.  I have said it before I am not a big fan of making definitive statements but this is the one of the few times I will say I would not post my prices online.    Now I would consider putting a packages "starting" at price but not all of your prices.  The way I look at it is I want people to contact me for the chance to "make the sale'.  If they look at my prices and see that I am just out of their budget they may move on.  Where as if I spoke to them on the phone I would have had a better chance of either giving them a discount or working something out.    Of course it's totally up to you to decide what you would like to do for your business.  That's the great thing about what we do is there is no right or wrong way, you go with what feels right and works best for you.    As you guys know we have been using the Atomos Shogun for the last few weeks.  This is the latest and greatest Atomos with its huge 7 inch touch screen and ability to record 4k footage.  Of course you need to have a camera that does 4k but even if you don't have one yet you can take full advantage of the 1080 ability.     I personally want to thank Atomos for their continued support and want you guys to know that without sponsors like them footing the production costs we would not be able to bring you RAWtalk each and every week.   YouTube has started the process to possibly charge a monthly subscription fee to allow viewers to watch Ad free videos.  Would you pay for this ability?  If so how much?   Stephen hits us with a TON of photo news this week and I wrap up the show with "Flying Solo" and the "Wheel Of FRO".   00:00:01 - Show Intro 00:07:15 - Would you pay Youtube to have no ads? 00:10:20 - Why you shouldn't put your prices online? 00:15:37 - Photo News 00:58:40 - Flying Solo 01:42:50 - Wheel of Fro

You know you’re in for a treat when my dad joins me on the show.  You never know what direction our conversation will go.  This week I got back my Ancestry.com DNA results and I don’t know about you but I expect a hell of a lot more information and so did my dad.  Check out that interview at 1:07:05   Do you want a chance to win some of the $200,000 in prizes just for making a video in the MyRodeReel.com http://bit.ly/1IYHITB  well go check out the rules because you still have time to enter.  They have also created some really informative videos to learn from.   I explain what I was doing in San Fran and why I ate BABY SQUID RAW.  As well as go into more detail about the most recent 5 Min Portrait using the Nikon D5500 and Kit 18-140.    For those who don’t know the story of Passover I went ahead and retold the entire story in roughly 2 minutes.    Stephen crushes his photo news once again and I can’t wait to hear what song he picked from Audioblocks.com.    00:00:16 - Show Intro 00:06:42 - Nikon D5500 5 Min Portrait 00:16:29 - Youtube San Fran Recap 00:22:08 - Jared Describes Passover 00:27:54 - Photo News 01:07:05 - Dad Interview 01:14:00 - Ancestry talk 01:35:40 - Jared’s Dad Spins Wheel of Fro   01:39:40 - Real Wheel of Fro Spin

Welcome back to another WEEK of RAWtalk which so happens to top the two hour mark once again.    Did you know that Facebook mobile automatically corrects your image when you post it?  Yup, they do, but you can turn that function off which I highly recommend doing.  Go into your mobile settings and turn off the option for auto correcting images that you publish via mobile.     You get to see the new I SHOOT RAW t-shirt commercial for the 8-bit “DOOM” shirt.   There were a ton of Flying Solo questions this week with many of them asking me to discuss shooting weddings.  I don’t think I have shared so much info on how to market for and shoot weddings ever.  If you want to shoot weddings and command a higher than average price you may want to check this weeks show out.    We didn’t spin the Wheel of FRO once this week, we didn’t spin it twice, we spun it THREE TIMES!!!!  Did you get to spin it?   Gear of the week showed us the Kessler Crane and the Aputure 7 inch field monitor that comes in at only $219.     Thank you for watching or listening to this weeks show, without you guys the show would not be possible. 

Last week we invaded Chicago for a sold out Mobile RAWtalk at Stage 773!!!  A big thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket as well as to Squarespace who sponsored this Mobile RAWtalk.  Without the support of Squarespace we wouldn’t be able to take RAWtalk on the road.  If you have not tried Squarespace I suggest you give it a try.  It is what I personally use for JaredPolin.com.    To get a FREE 14 day trial please go to Squarespace.com/fro if you decide it’s for you please use code FRO to get 10% OFF your first month or year.  If you are a student you can first go to that link followed by Squarespace.com/students and get 50% OFF your first year if you have a .edu address.    I have to tell you that this show felt like the funniest show we have done to date.  I don’t know if it was the combo of the sold out crowd or it was the one drink I had but it was funny.    Enjoy the show.   Intro: 00:00:16 Chicago Recap: 00:01:24 Photo News: 00:19:12 Flying Solo: 00:46:34   Outro: 01:50:12

Can you tell what is different this week?  If you are watching the video playback you will see that we are not at the RAWtalk table.  The reason being is I have been filming for the last 7 days the next video guide, the FroKnowsPhoto Guide to Video Editing.    The crew would leave each night and all the gear would stay in place.  The set was set along with the lights and Canon cameras so all we needed to do was turn the cameras on and shoot.     Before I jump into telling you about the interview with Todd Wolfe this week I have to tell you we had some slight technical issues.  It tuns out for whatever reason the ZOOM gave us a corrupt audio file from that interview.  The strange thing is we filmed the interview first before filming the main intro with Stephen.  Thankfully that audio was fine but I have to apologize for the camera audio that we used for Todds portion of the show.  I guess the silver lining is that fact that you can hear how important quality sound is and why we use the RODE Broadcaster microphones.    This weeks show was sponsored by AudioBlocks.com/go/fro and VideoBlocks.com/go/fro . We have been doing a lot of DSLR video coverage since so many people have been venturing into it.  AudioBlocks and VideoBlocks are pretty much a must have for content creators and video editors.  Todd, Stephen and I have been utilizing their service for the last few years and have recently work out a sponsorship agreement.  If you are interested in checking out their service you can sign up for their 7 day trial which does require a credit card.  Here is the trick, before the trial ends and they charge you full price for the service cancel it.  They will send you an e mail offering it to you for only $99 a year opposed to $79 a month.   Enjoy the show and sorry for the poor audio.

Welcome to Episode #123 of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk.  This week I started off the show with a look back at a video I recorded somewhere around 2008.  It showcases me attempting to make a video but failing every which way I tried.  The reason I posted the video is to show you that I have not always been this good in front of the camera.  And if I can go from that guy sitting there fumbling words with no personality than there should be nothing holding you back.    This weeks PLUGGY Mc Plugerson is brought to you by ATOMOS who sent us out the brand spanking new Shogun to sniff test and play with.  For those who don’t know about the Shogun it’s pretty much the only way you can currently record 4k footage out of the cameras on the market.  For example the Sony A7s can’t even record 4k internally, it needs the Shogun to save that footage.  For more information on the Shogun and other Atomos products please click here http://bit.ly/1waSi9t   We are off to Chicago for a Mobile RAWtalk curiosity of Squarespace on March 17th.  If you would like to pick up a ticket for that show you can do so right here. http://bit.ly/1NyGa7V   Stephen graces us with his photo news that brings up the subject of the failed “trigger trap” kickstarted.  It’s time to lay the smack down on kickstarted so I guess you could call this a mini rant.   Flying Solo this week was filled with a ton of solid questions that I hope you find informative.   Finally if you listen to RAWtalk on iTunes could you please leave a review as well as your start ranking?  That will help the show grow on iTunes and show up ahead of those other boring podcasts.   00:00:16 - Intro 00:00:45 - RANT: If Jared can do it YOU can do it 00:08:11 - Gear of the Week: Atomos Shogun 00:14:19 - Chicago RAWtalk 00:21:45 - Please Rate RAWtalk on iTunes 00:22:15 - Photo News 00:38:26 - RANT: Jared on Kickstarter 00:56:16 - Flying Solo 00:58:40 - Sutter Kindergarden Flashback   01:37:47 - Wheel of Fro

This week I sat down with former Sports Illustrated staff photographer Al Tielemans.  I first met Al when I was 17 or 18 where we shot together in the dugout of Veteran stadium for a Phillies game.  I invited Al in because he is one of the best sports photographers of our time and I know he would be able to shed some light on the industry for us all.  If there is one thing I took out of this interview it’s a statement that Al made about “practice”.  He mentioned during his off days form assignments he would go out and shoot to keep his skills tight.  You can not become a better photographer if you don’t get out there and shoot.    Do you want to win some of the $200,000 in prizes that RODE is giving away during its second MyRodeReel.com compettion?  That’s right the contest is back and this time bigger than ever.  In all honesty there is no reason not to at least try and enter this contrast.  It is FREE to enter and you never know what will happen, maybe your video is the feather that tickles somebody’s fancy.  Be sure to check out MyRodeReel.com for contest rules.  http://www.rode.com/?utm_source=FroKnowsPhoto&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=FroKnowsPhoto   Stephen hits us with photo news including a discussion about the just announced Nikon D7200.  Don’t miss why I have 46 Terabytes of hard drives on the table during this weeks “gear of the week” segment.      To check out Al Tielemans website please click here. http://www.altielemans.com/

One of the biggest mysteries on the internet is “How much do YouTubers make?”.  Well, I am one of those YouTubers so I share what I know to try and shed some light on this age old question.  Be sure to check out the 47:58 mark and find out the answer to the question.     The whole reason I bring up YouTubers and how much they make is there was a change of the terms of services for what YouTubers can promote in their videos.  This change is going to effect some of the biggest names on YouTube and as of now the new rules are pretty vague.  I took a look at these new terms of service to try and decipher what you can and can’t do.   Did you see Inspector Dale Cooper aka Stephen Sutters Hedgehog?  Isn’t he so cute with he pricklers and cute face?   I asked Jaleel King to stop back into the loft to update us on what he has been up to over the past few years and what the next year has in store.  If you missed the first time Jaleel was on you can check it out right here on Episode #18 http://froknowsphoto.com/rawtalk-18-bumping-wheelchairs/   PLUG ALERT.  If you make videos online than you know how important quality royalty free music is.  If you have been looking for a solution I have one in the way of AudioBlocks.com/go/fro which you can get for $99 for one year.  Todd has been using them for the last two years and I have been a paying customer since early 2014.   Thank you guys for listening week in and week out.   00:00:16 - Intro 00:00:23 - Meet Inspector Dale Cooper! 00:07:40 - Photo News 00:47:58 - How Much Youtubers Make Rant 01:09:04 - Jaleel King Interview 01:26:35 - Gear Of The Week   01:30:48- Wheel Of Fro

The plan for this weeks show was to have on a special guest who ended up having to cancel last minute. Of course this tends to happen and is out of all our control when their child is running a fever, it's also totally understandable. Alas the show must go on and it ended up being another fantastic show packed with great photo news, random discussion, DVDA and Flying Solo. This weeks pluggy mc plugerson was brought to you by ATOMOS. The NEW Atomos Showgun has sliced its way into filmmakers bags and soon will land on my doorstep. If you are looking to record 4k video into something THIS IS THE DEVICE that does it. Not only can you record 4k from the Sony A7II but with pretty much all DSLRS you can record full 1080 up to 60 FPS. All I can say is we use the Atomos Ninja Blade as our main center angle recording device. Everyone always asks how do you get longer recording than what the DSLRs allow us to do? The simple answer is get an ATOMOS. Thank you to Atomos for being supportive of our show for the last year+. Please enjoy this weeks show and don't forget subscribe to the podcast on itunes.

Last month I gave a completely uncensored talk at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg campus.   I spoke to a group of students in a creative thinking and business entrepreneurial class...   I told the group we could talk about whatever they want and I would literally tell them anything about me and my business.   Naturally how I make money in my business was a big topic during this 1.5 hour talk but there's a lot of great information and the students asked some great questions.   This was a completely open and candid discussion and I pulled the curtain back on my business, answering EVERY single question they had.   This is the only way I know how to be, completely open and honest. I have nothing to hide and want to share everything I know to help as many people as possible. You need to know there are no secrets to being successful. Sometimes you get lucky but I firmly believe that you make your own luck.   I know this is a long video but if you take just one nugget of information and do something with it than it was well worth while.

The huge news this week centers around Canon releasing not one not two but four new DSLR’s and an Ultra WIDE zoom pro lens.  Does this put Canon back in the game or were they ever really out of it?   I personally don’t think Canon was anywhere near out of the game.  They have the 5D Mark III along with the 1D X as well as a lot of adapted professional lenses.  This is what happens in the photo world, Nikon has something new for a while then Canon has something new so on and so forth.  So one or the other is always on top for a period of time.    As a little side note, at the time of recording we did not have all the official specs.  But I chose to discuss the camera after my inside source was able to verify the validity of information that was out there as fact.     I tried something new for Flying Solo where I put up a video on Facebook asking for your flying solo questions.  It looked like it worked because over 200 questions came in which is more than double what we usually get.  I chose 30 of the questions to feature on the show and moved at a pretty brisk pace to make sure I got to them all.    This weeks show was sponsored by RODE Microphone.  As you know we use the RODE broadcaster Mics both in the loft and on the road.  They sound fantastic and I think we have one of the best sounding Podcasts around because of them.  Remember if you don’t check out RODE’s site this week our friend Scott over there’s son may grow up to have blonde hair!!!!     FroKnowsPhoto, Canon 5DS, Canon 5DS R, Canon 11-24, RAWtalk, Photography News, Photo News, Photography, Nikon, DSLR

  Scott Kelby is not only one of the biggest names in online education but he has written over 60 books and sold millions of copies over the 15 years.  As many of you know I was asked by Scott to come down and be on his show the GRID.  While there I took the oppurtunity to sit down and conduct a very candid interview.    The interview took place in Scotts office which is part of a brand new facility that Kebly Media has just moved into.  This was an unbelivable facility housing studio after studio of recording spaces as well as 91 employees.    When I conduct interviews I don’t come up with questions based on what I think people may want to hear, I ask questions based off of what I am most interested in hearing.  In the case of this interview with Scott I was most interested in where he started and how he built the business to such a place.  There is one part of the interview where he talks about the “moment” that one decision that set the ball rolling to allow him to be sitting where he is right now.  And i must tell you I had shivers go down my spine when he told the story.   You can hear and see the passion throughout this 40 minute interview.  When we finished Scott told me the questions I was asking were not what he was expecting but in a good way.  That is what I love to hear after an interview, that the questions were unique and brought out the best stories possible.  Enjoy this interview and learn as much as you can from it.  The interview starts at 52 min.   As always we have Photo News with Stephen along with fantastic discussions leading up to the interview above.  Gear of the Week this week was the Sennheiser Lav Packs that were are testing out and probably replacing the Sony’s that have served me well.  Don’t forget Wheel of FRO and all the companies who are on it, thank you.   This FREE Show is only possible because of the select few sponsors we choose to work with and who choose to work with us.  Thank you to RODE, ATOMOS, Squarespace, AllensCamera.com, VideoBlocks and everyone around the Wheel Of FRO.  Without them there the show would not look like it looks today.  So please take a minute to check out what these sponsors have to offer and thank them for allowing us to create this show.   TOC  00:00:15 - Intro 00:19:30 - Photo News 00:52:00 - Scott Kelby Interview 01:38:15 - Gear of the Week 01:42:04 - Wheel of Fro    

Coming to you LIVE…. (to tape) from the University of South Florida St. Pete it’s another Mobile RAWtalk.  That’s right, we were in Florida for the latest RAWtalk because I was invited onto the GRID by Scott Kelby.     A HUGE thank you goes out to Nathan for helping set up everything on the campus and to Sam Hamberg for helping rest the cameras and more during RAWtalk.    This weeks Episode is Sponsored by ATOMOS.  We used the Atomos Ninja II to record for over an hour and a half without having to rest the camera.  That right there is worth the price of admission.  You know how you are limited to only 29:59 of record time on most DSLR’s?  The way around that is to use an ATOMOS which not only lets you record none stop but gives you an even higher quality video to work with than the camera itself.  Atomos has units that fit in the pocket to the latest and greatest the SHOGUN which will record 4K, for more winning!!!  For more info please check out Atomos.com   There was a RANT, fun with the people in attendance, laughing, crying, earmuffs and who brings their toddler to one of my shows?  Stephen has his photo news and we still spun the WHEEL OF FRO.    Be sure to follow me on Snapchat at FroKnowsPhoto.  Don’t forget to subscribe to the Podcast on iTunes to be the first to get each and every new episode.      Enjoy the show.

This week show takes us back into the LOFT for the second show of the year.  I honestly never know what direction the show will go when we hit record but this week took a turn into Business territory that you will not want to miss.     Before I dive deeper into the show I want to thank RODE for being this weeks featured sponsor.  They just released a new accessory for the SmartLav and + called the SC1.  The SC1 is a 20 foot extension cable which will really come in handy when you need to stay behind the camera and monitor audio.  Be sure to check out everything RODE right here http://bit.ly/1IYHITB   We discussed the killer video Stephen whipped together from CES that left me wanting to watch even more.  We outlined why I am going to Florida and where the next mobile RAWtalk is going to be on Tuesday January 20th.   If you are on SnapChat be sure to add me as a friend “FroKnowsPhoto”.   Flying solo this week has to be one of the most candid discussions I have had to date about business, marketing and branding on a RAWtalk.  I let you in on how I advertise on Facebook, what I target, how much I spend and the reasons for doing so.  Generally I don’t want the show to go almost two hours but the amount of solid questions this week lead us down that path.  In all honesty you don’t have to be a photographer to learn something about business, branding and marketing from this weeks Episode.      I spent a good amount of time discussing Audio and Video Blocks a service that I have been paying for for almost two years now.  People have been wanting to know where do we get royalty FREE audio and video to use in our videos.  The answer is simple we use Audio Blocks and Video Blocks.  You can get a 7 day free trial by going here http://audioblocks.com/go/fro for Audio Blocks and Here http://videoblocks.com/go/fro for Video Blocks.  Both services go for $79 a month but if you sign up for the FREE trial than cancel your subscription they will send you an e mail with an offer for $99 a year for either service.  That’s exactly what I did when I signed up.

Welcome to Episode #115 which so happens to be the very first one of 2015.  The reason I went out to Vegas this time was for CES 2015 which is one of the largest tech shows in the world.  I figured we are here we might as well set up a mobile RAWtalk and invite some readers.  But the question became where would we film it?  I thought it would be fun to invite a handful of readers to join us in our hotel room at the Excalibur.    I got an e mail from a reader asking me to promote is gofundme campaign because he just had all his gear stolen out of his car.  I get these e mails all the time and asked two simple questions.  One did you have insurance and two did use lens tag for your gear.  The answers to both were not that they are always very careful with their gear.  Look, gofundme is not a place for you to basically ask friends, family or strangers to act as your insurance plan.  I feel bad for the person for having their gear stolen but they are partly to blame for not having insurance.    CES 2015 was packed with a couple hundred thousand people and Stephen and I braved the crowds to bring you guys what we think are the coolest and strangest items from the show.  We give you our recap as well as our run in with Kazamm.   After Photo News I opened up the hotel room floor to the fro readers in attendance to ask Flying Solo questions.   A big thank you to Squarespace who allows for Mobile RAWtalks to actually happen.  They foot the bill for the travel and other expenses that surround filming and production.  Please help me by checking out Squarespace.com/fro and signing up for a FREE 14 day Trial of the service.       Don’t forget to subscribe across the board to be notified of NEW episodes.  Please find me on Snapchart at FroKnowsPhoto

It’s that time of year again, by that time of the year I mean the end of the year.  This is officially the last episode of 2014 and I know some of you may be upset but it’s only for a few weeks.     This week we have Christmas followed by Stephen going away for the end of the year and than we head to Vegas for CES.  We know how much you guys love waking up every Monday to a new RAWtalk but we will be back very soon with new episodes in 2015.   Show days can be interesting days depending on which side of the bed I woke up on.  I have those mood things, the ones where you can be down or you can be up but on show days the show must go on.  I think this week I was a little thrown off by my gmail not working properly which turned out to be an issue with Gmail and not with my e mail which was a relief.    Regardless of my mood, once we get into the flow of the show I am ready to go which ever way the news and questions take us.  Speaking of Photo News am I wrong with my little rant on the mini Teleprompter kickstarted?     I got to fly solo one more time to end 2014 with some challenge questions and others infuriating but that comes with the territory.     The NEW Wheel Of FRO got one more SPIN to take us out on a high note with a nice prize as always.  What a cool addition to RAWtalk the Wheel Of FRO has become.   To finish the year I want to thank each and every one of you who enjoy RAWtalk every week.  Wether you watch it on YouTube, your TV, listen to the audio podcast or enjoy it any other way, THANK YOU.   Thank you to Stephen for coming on board this year and taking RAWtalk to the level of quaintly it has attained.  Thank you to Sutter for taking on a little sidekick ROLL over the last six or so months.  And finally thank you to RODE and Atomos for believing in the importance of organic advertising.  Having you guys understand the importance of letting me have fun with your plugs makes the readers and listeners more apt to listen to our message.   Happy Holidays and have a Happy and Healthy New Years from all of us here at FroKnowsPhoto.  By all of us I mean the Stephens and I.    

He has shot 13 Sports Illustrated covers,  11 Super Bowls, World Series’s, Presidents and 200 shows in 30 countries with John Bon Jovi.  David Bergman has earned the access he receives with amazing photos time and time again.     I had the chance to sit with David at the loft to discuss everything from what it’s like to get an SI cover to flying in a private jet as Bon Jovi’s tour photographer.  That interview starts at 50:18 second and in my opinion is another fantastic discussion with an amazing photographer.  His stories along with his advice are enjoyable and really worth a listen.   If you have been waiting to see who WON the Atomos Ninja Star contest you can see the 7 finalists right here. http://froknowsphoto.com/atomos-ninja-star-contest-finalists/   We discus our upcoming Vegas trip and if you are in Vegas and know of a location for a RAWtalk or work for Excalibur please e mail me at jared at froknowsphoto dot com.   Stephen hit’s us with the weeks Photo News which you can find starting at 13:34   Finally we did something new this week with the Wheel Of FRO where I selected 12 names and placed them on the smaller wheel.  I gave it a spin and the persons name it stopped on got to SPIN the BIG WHEEL!!!!   A big thank you goes out to Atomos because without them we wouldn’t be able to record continuously with a DSLR that only lets us shoot 20 minutes at a time.  Thank you to RODE, Squarespace, Allens Camera and everyone else who has a spot on the Wheel Of FRO.    

Welcome back to another fun filled week of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk where I occasionally curse, scream, sing, rant and talk photography.  This week I did not plan on ranting I only planned on sharing a few direct quotes from a certain someones website.    Now I know you are asking yourself why do you read that guys site and my answer is because I want to see what he will say next.  Now that that’s out of the way what did he say this time?  First there was a quote about a camera being free but it costs $1,250 followed by “some people have this idea that pros only shoot in manual exposure mode”.  All I can say is skip to 36:48 put your earmuffs on and get ready to be frustrated.   This weeks show sponsor was RODE microphone and I featured their Invisilav which honestly will come in handy when I need to put a lav mic under my shirt.  The truth of the matter is we currently just use gaff tape to stick the mics to my chest.  In reality we should be using the invisilav which we are going to start doing.  You will notice I had a little bit of trouble getting the included tape to stick and I have verified that it’s because it’s skin safe.  My solution to this is use wig tape or gaff tape and you will be good to go.    Stephen brings us the last two weeks in photo news from the new Sony A7 II to the rumor of GoPro manufacturing their own drones.  Check out the photo news starting at 08:05 .      Don’t forget to subscribe to the Podcast on iTunes or your iPhone to automatically have the new episodes sent right to your phone.

Normally we record RAWtalks on Thursdays but this week it was Thanksgiving so we recorded something a little different on Monday.   In honor of the holidays we decided to record a show called "Fro's Favorite Things". The Stephens and I decided to bring in and discuss different low cost items and some higher cost items that help us with our photography. We have everything from small camera phone stands to the updesk and everything in-between.   I want to make it perfectly clear that no companies knew beforehand that we were featuring their products. There are no sponsors of this weeks episode.   Listed below are all the items we discussed. If one of them interests you simply google what it is to find more information or where to purchase from. For a full list of all the items we discussded in this weeks Episode please follow this link.  http://froknowsphoto.com/frosfavoritethings/ ‎

Every few weeks I ask for Flying Solo questions and this weeks line of them had a recurring theme.  The majority of the questions had to do with how do you make it as a photographer.  How do you get more Facebook interactions.  How do you do better SEO.  How do you get more people to want to pay you.  No one said photography was going to be easy but there is one surefire way to get people to pay attention and that is to do quality work.  Quality work trumps all!!!!   If there is one so called Secret Rule to being successful at photography it would be that Quality Work Trumps ALL.  Everything starts with quality work.  If your work is subpar it will not resonate with people.  So no matter how much SEO, Facebook advertising, begging and pleading you do, if your work is not quality you will not get the job.     Please do not be scared away by that statement because for the longest time I myself was doing subpar work.  The first few years I was shooting no one would hire me not because of my age but because my work was not up to par, yet.  Yet is the key word there, it took me a good 8-10 years of shooting to actually start producing “Quality” work.  If you thought the jobs would just show up a few months after starting you are mistaken.  There are always those few that bust through quickly but for every one of those there are thousands who have to take the long road.    One of the questions I posed to you guys is would you like me to put together some sort of guide to help you navigate the business side of photography?  Like I said in RAW talk this guide won’t tell you the “secret method to being a success” as I don’t think anything like that exists.  But what it will do is give you the tops and tricks I personally use day in and day out to try and make it as a photographer.    The FroKnowsPhoto 2014 Holiday Contest and SALE is in FULL SWING and you can take advantage of that right here http://bit.ly/fro2014sale .  All t-shirts are on sale for only $11.99 each and each order will come with a Wheel Of FRO Scratch off card for your chance to WIN one of 47 prizes valued at over $7,000.   As always we had Photo News, Gear Of the WEEK and the Wheel Of FRO.     Thank you to RODE Microphones, ATOMOS, everyone on the Wheel Of FRO and you guys for your support.

Some of you might know the work of Jim Marshall others may have no idea who Jim was, but I can guarantee you that you all have seen his work knowingly or not.  I never got the chance to officially sit and interview Jim before he passed away. But when I ran into Amelia Davis at Photokina I knew the next best thing to an interview with Jim would be to interview Amelia.     When Amelia mentioned she would be doing a book signing of “The Haight”, Jim’s latest book, I jumped on the opportunity to set up an interview.  What a FANTASTIC interview it was.  Amelia was so open and honest and the conversation just flowed.  We learned so much about Jim’s past and what made the man tick from someone who was very close to him for more than a decade.  Sit back and get ready to laugh, smile and be inspired by the stories that Amelia Davis shares with us.   Did you get a chance to see the nude photo Keira Knightley posed for?  Well if not I took it upon myself to replicate the photo almost to a t, sans the beard.  Find out why she posed nude and why I decided to spoof it.   What would you like to see on sale in the FroKnowsPhoto Store for the holidays?  If there is something in particular please be sure to let me know via twitter, Facebook or YouTube.   Photo News with Stephen is fun as always, get caught up on last weeks photo news this week a whole week after it was actually news.   For gear of the week we showcased a slider by a company called Cinevate who make some really killer well thought out and built video products.   The show ends with some Wheel Of Fro where I decided to spin it twice and twice it landed on the same thing, oh well.    For all the Photo News Stories and more please go to http://FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-110     A big thank you goes out to RODE Microphones, Atomos, Allen’s Camera, Cinevate, all the companies on the Wheel of FRO and you guys for continuing to support the show.

I could not figure out why I did not sleep until my alarm on Sunday and than I realized why.  The clocks here in the US and part of Canada were supposed to be changed aka FALL back.  That brings up one of the biggest mistakes many photographers make and don’t realize it until weeks or months later.  They forget to change the time in their camera and wonder why they are off by an hour.  If you haven’t changed your time stop what you are doing and go change it.    Have you entered to WIN the Atomos Ninja Star yet?  We have been running a contest and you have until the end of this month to get your entry in.  You can see the full contest rules right here. http://froknowsphoto.com/atomos-ninja-star-contest/ Right now we have under 10 entires so you have a better shot at winning this if you simply try and don’t wuss out.   Stephen and I discuss our trip to NYC for the annual PPE Show.  We chose not to shoot any content up there since we already did our show coverage from Photokina in September.    We hit you with the weeks Photo News recap followed by FLYING SOLO the one thing that the world can agree on that they like, well maybe.     I hope you enjoyed the show.  The show would not be possible if it wasn’t for good people like you as well as the shows sponsors who fork over the money to allow us to continue to bring you bigger and better content.  Thank you RODE Microphones, Atomos, Allen’s Camera and all the companies on the Wheel Of FRO, we greatly appreciate your help.

I will explain the title in just a second but first I want to thank everyone for their condolences on Lil’s passing.  We had the funeral on Monday just a few days shy of her 104th birthday.  Can you imagine what she saw in her life?  From 1910 on she was part of one of the largest technological advances in known human history.  May she rest in peace and not be forgotten.    Now onto the title of this weeks Episode.  I was attending my cousins wedding and a family member had a 5D Mark III with a flash on it sitting front row closest to the center isle.  Every time someone walked down the isle they were snapping three or four images.  The main photographer was down the isle trying to get the pictures and all I could see was the guests flash every single time.   I did not bring a camera to the wedding, it wasn’t my job.  There was a photographer who was paid very well to capture the moment and they do not need guests with cameras getting in the way.  The moral of the story is if you are not shooting the wedding leave your camera at home and enjoy the event.  More on this RANT during the episode.    PLUG ALERT PLUG ALERT - RODE is giving away a Stereo VideoMic X or a K2 Tube Microphone and all you need to do is take a two second survey to get entered.  Go to rockro.de/survey for your chance to win.  You have until Nov 10th to get entered.   Stephen brings us his news stories of the week and Sutter decided to shave his hipster head for some reason.     Gear of the week is pretty ICEY and cold and FLYING SOLO get’s cranking with solid questions.      Thank you to Atomos for their killer NINJA that we use on our center camera.  Thank you RODE for the Broadcaster Microphones.  Thank you to everyone on the Wheel of FRO and thank you to YOU GUYS.

We took RAWtalk Mobile this week to the parking lot and tent of Allen’s Nikon-A-Palooza. This is the second year of the event and this year we had an even larger turn out than last year.  We had people drive in from as far away as 10 hours and as close as 2 minutes.  Nikon was there to show off any gear you wanted to play with as well as doing FREE sensor cleanings.  Allen gave away a Nikon D7100, there were other prizes and really sweet in store offers.   But we all thought it would be great if we extended the special offers from the event for ONE DAY ONLY, Monday October 27th from 9:30am - 6pm EST you can get the deals listed below if you call 215-547-2841. You can get 20% OFF select Tripods and 20% OFF Camera Bags.  Also online at AllensCamera.com you will get 5% OFF all used equipment. Remember this is US Only and will be live from 9:30am EST to 6pm.  Please call the store for more details. This was our first time filming a show outside and the sun definitely gave us some exposure issues so please excuse those if you see them.      Stephen took his photo news segment mobile to bring us the latest information on what is new in the world of Photo News.   We had some extra special guest stop by this week.  There was Allen, DigiRichie, Pasqual, Stephen Sutter and my dad who took over a microphone for a little while and a lot more.    The show was wrapped up with a killer LIVE Flying Solo portion as well as the WHEEL OF FRO.  You can not miss the wheel of FRO this week, you have to see where it lands.      A big thank you to Allen’s Camera and Nikon for sponsoring the event.  Rode Microphones for the Broadcasters and arms we use.  Atomos for the Ninja we use when we are in the studio.  And finally F and V lighting for supplying the lights for Mobile RAWtalk, LED Pannels.

My first official photography class was in 1997 when I was in 10th grade.  I recall a rack of photography magazines being near the teachers desk and one magazine always caught my attention.  On the cover was this Einstein looking guy holding a really cool “white” lens standing on the ice in front of the net.  The photographers name was Bruce Bennett and he has the destination of being the first photographer I ever looked up to.  I consider him to the most recognizable photographer in NHL history.     There wasn’t a week that went by where I read and re read the article in “Unique Photo” magazine where Bruce talked about being a hockey photographer.  From that point on I knew I wanted to be a Hockey Photographer and that Bruce was the one I wanted to emulate.    Well this week I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing Mr. Bruce Bennett.  The interview takes place on the Philadelphia Flyers bench at the Wells Fargo Center before the opening night festivities.  This interview ranks up there with one of my favorite to this point.  Bruce and I share a love for photography and hockey and you will hear us tossing around random hockey knowledge and facts.  The interview starts at 32:23   Do you know what Kerplunk is?  If you don’t we start off the show with a quick game of Kerplunk.  What other vintage games do you recall playing when you were a kid?   Stephen brings us all the photo news stories of the week that you just might find interesting.  Stories include 2 million dollars worth of camera gear was stolen, a video time lapse with stacked video that will blow your mind, the donut selife is introduced and much much more.  Be sure to check the site for all the photo news stories and more.    We take a quick look at a new photo book that was just released by Danny Clinch called, Danny Clinch.  What a solid collection of images.  If you love music or love candid images for that matter this book is going to give you a thrill.  I am working on setting up an interview with Danny so if you can tweet at him and say you would like to see him on FroKnowsPhoto RAW talk that would be appreciated.  @danny_climch    We wrapped up the show with Gear of the week and the Wheel Of Fro!!!!     A big thank you goes out to Rode Microphone, Atomos, Allen’s Camera, all the companies on the Wheel Of Fro and you guys.

I have never had a photo go "VIRAL" but this weeks guest Amanda Brewer who isn’t a professional photographer now has that experience.  As you know I am very careful to call things viral but when your photo becomes the most “liked” photo ever for GoPro’s Photo Of The Day it earned that moniker.  Tune in at 48 Minutes to hear Amanda explain how her photo went bonkers.  On top of everything else by submitting an image to GoPro for photo of the day you are giving them usage rights to your image for EVER, my thoughts on the episode.    Stephen gets his photo news on with some stories about Leica, Android Apps, Drones being shot down and more.    Will you be joining us for Allens Nikon-A-Palooza on Saturday October 18th, I certainly hope so.  We are doing a LIVE RAWtalk and Allen will be giving away a Nikon DSLR for FREE. The address is 4401 New Falls Road Levittown PA.   I have never heard the term 8 to 2’er but after a fro reading high school student sent in a question I know I don’t like it.  Find out what his question was and who I ended up yelling at.    For more information and all the photo stories please go to FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-105    

No only is this week episodes jammed packed with stories, photo news, flying solo, a spinning wheel and some singing, it also has some of the biggest pieces of GLASS that I have ever seen.   Rode hit’s us with a new microphone that is made of this new space aged material called Alu-mini-um, totally mind blowing…. We dive into wether or not the new GoPro’s are worthy of the price tag. The Atomos contest get’s a correction being that there are only 30 days in November.  If you bought a D750 you must return if right away because of Wifi Gate, people can steal your images without you even knowing.  But don’t return it just yet, I have a simple solution for that. What type of salesman would I have been if I didn’t sell cameras years ago? My thoughts on alternative schools such as Montessori school and much much more. Someone gets to spin the Wheel of FRO is it you? Thank you for listening to this weeks Episode.  Please join us for the next Mobile RAWtalk on Saturday October 18th at Allen’s Camera in Levittown Pa.     

WE ARE BACK and what a trip we had. First we made our way to Poland where we stayed in Warsaw followed by Krakow before flying to Germany for Photokina 2014. Poland was a personal trip where we toured the Warsaw Ghettos and got educated on so many different aspects of WWII. We also used the time in Warsaw to do a hands on with the Nikon D810. There were so many people and street performers out that it made for great street photography. As another part to the personal journey we went and toured Auschwitz which was a profound experience. My goal was not to take pictures but the few images I did capture really told a very somber story.  Next up was Krakow for the evening where the TINDER scene was off the hook. I have never seen so many good looking girls as I swiped right and rarely left. And for the record I did not meet any of them thank you very much. We did run into one pretty scary issue on our way to Germany. Our flight from Krakow to Germany was CANCELED at the last min leaving us stranded for 8 hours in Krakow. But it also lead to one of the most stressful and funny stories of the entire trip. Hear that story at 41:11 to laugh your ass off. Photokina 2014 – Photokina happens ever two years and this year we were able to make the trip thanks to BlackRapid. Without BlackRapid being the sponsor we probably would not have been able to bring you the coverage that we were able to. My goal with the show was to bring you one solid piece of content opposed to chopping it up into 20 videos. Our show recap can be seen below in one consumable video, enjoy.

100 Episodes of anything is a pretty monumental feat.  Now I know not everyone has heard the early days of RAWtalk, the days when I used to throw poker chips across the table to award points for solid comments or statements.  That honestly did not last to long because I always forgot to give them out until the very end.    Fro reader Doug Peters asked if he could compile episodes 1-100 with funny moments, solid tips and all around RAWness.  I said sure, go for it.  The results are two hours of a compilation of moments from the first 100 episodes of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk.     I hope you enjoy the look back and don’t forget you can download each episode of RAWtalk as an Mp3 going all the way back to Episode #001.  The Video portion did not start until somewhere around Episode #17 where we used one gopro angle.     You will also notice how the audio quality of the show continued to get better and better when Stephen Eckert joined the team.  I have to say a HUGE than you to him for taking the initiative to take this show to places I could not have taken it on my own.      Thank you to everyone out there who has listened, comments, submitted questions or just enjoyed!!!

I sat down with my very first photography mentor  (Matt Ciao) to take a walk down memory lane.  He does not hold back when he talks about how annoying I was when I was 15.  We also talk about what was given to us by one of our teachers in college that goes in your wallet next to the condom.    But the big reveal came when Matt divulged the reason behind me deciding to purchase my very first Nikon SLR.   Was Stephens’s sister’s wedding photographer a bust or did he end up kicking ass?  If you recall episode #100, Stephen’s sister found out two weeks before her wedding that the photographer she hired would no longer be shooting her big day.  Instead, he was sending someone else she had never met or seen their work.    What in the world did RODE send us this time around.  Hint, it does not require power and can be yours for 50% OFF with code “ISHOOTRAW”.  I first thought I was going to hate what they sent me but it turns out that it was pretty cool.    There is not a lot better than giving surprise gifts to people.  Stephen got to unwrap his very special gift live on the show, find out what it is.   Stephen hits us with a solid select of photo news stories.  From Cannon pro lens price drops, to a photographer who has a 0.02% success rate on a project to how one guy barely saved his DJI Phantom from taking a swim in the lake.   All of this and more can be heard or seen on this weeks FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk.     Oh yea, we find out what and who is DigiRichie.

I love when I ask for solid questions and you guys deliver them for the flying solo potion of the show!!!!  We are prepping to hit head to Poland And Germany thanks to BlackRapid who has sponsored the trip.   I hope to be announcing some meet ups in Poland and Germany shortly.  We probably won’t be doing mobile RAWtalks from those ares just yet but a fun hangout will be just as fun.    Stephens Photo News like always is filled with ZERO disruptions and zero singing.  If you believe that I have a bride I would like to sell you.     We wrap up this weeks show with solid solid flying solo questions as well as Top 5’s that you guys submitted.  Keep an eye out for when I request the flying solo questions come in.      Thanks to RODE Microphones, Atomos, AllensCamera.com and all the sponsors on the Wheel Of Fro!!!!

We have made it to the 100th Episode of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk.  What started as an idea to have a roundtable discussion each week has morphed a few times to get to where it stands today.    When it started we did not record video, just audio.  But something always told me that audio alone is not enough, we needed to add video.  When I started to record video it was done with a static GoPro camera with the audio running into it.  The quality was fine but nothing over the top.     I wanted better audio, better video and a show that stood out above the other photography podcasts.  The missing piece to the puzzle was Stephen Eckert.  I knew Stephen had audio skills, so i asked him to help me out with recording each week.  Right away he said I should add more camera angles and that he would edit them.  Talk about grabbing the balls by the horns, he took initiative.     Quickly we added Stephens Photo News where he started at the table then went back off to the side to run the audio.  But more and more I would toss questions back his way and he ended up at the table the entire show.  And now he is officially part of the show.     What Stephen did was make himself indispensable to the show.  He didn’t wait for me to give him anything, he simply showed that without him the show wouldn’t be as good.  And that’s the reason he is now full time with me.    Last but not least I have to thank all of you for sticking with the show.  I know it must have been tough at the beginning while I discovered what the show could have been but your questions and support certainly helped.  Now together we have something that is real, fun, enjoyable, informative and sometimes over the top.     Thank You!!!!   PS.  I can not forget to thank RODE Microphones for their continued support of the show.  We use the RODE Broadcaster microphones each and every week.     Atomos, what can I say, they allow us to record our main angle continuously without having to reset the cameras every 20 minutes.  We LOVE these little guys and know you will too if you record video.     AllensCamera.com: Without your support from day one I would not have been able to get as far as I have.    And finally everyone on the Wheel Of Fro for buying into how much fun this little game could be.    

 LIVE From San Francisco It's Mobile RAWtalk- Episode #099   For our second Mobile RAWtalk we bring the circus to Santa Rosa which is about an hour outside of San Francisco.  ThinkTank Photo the makers of the camera bags I use were gracious enough to open up their office for this special episode.  I also have to thank Squarespace who covered our expenses to make this trip a reality.  Please support our sponsors as they are the ones who keep this content FREE.   Stephen started off the show with a very special announcement that has been a year and a half in the making.  Tune in for the first few minutes to get the scoop.    I sat down with one of the founders of ThinkTank, Kurt Rodgers for a quick interview before we jumped into the Photo News, discussions and LIVE Flying Solo.    Again I want to thank everyone who attended the Live Broadcast.  It means so much that you guys take your time to join us for these live shows.  Thank you to ThinkTank Photo for their offices as our backdrop.  If you have not checked out Squarespace and would like a 14 day FREE trial please go to Squarespace.com/fro and use code “FRO” to get 10% off your first year.     This show was recorded with three Nikon D610’s, one GoPro Hero 3, Rode Broadcaster Microphones, Sandisk Memory Cards, Atomos Ninja Blade and 3 1x1 LED Light Panels.    

Do you know how important it is to just put yourself into situations?  Now I am not talking about putting yourself into situations that you know you shouldn’t be.  I am talking about putting yourself into situations to be successful.  You never know who you are going to meet or the opportunities that may arise when you get out of the house.     This happened to me recently when I decided last minute to purchase a ticket for the Billy Joel concert.  I had no expectations that I would come out of it with possibly shooting a show for Billy in the future.  Well, that’s exactly what happened and I discuss it in more detail during this weeks episode.   The moral of the story is put yourself in situations where you can be successful, you never know what will come out of it.    If you are a Polish or German fan we have some good news for you.  Stephen and I will be making our way to Poland and Germany in the middle of September.    Stephen hits us with his photo news once again and I did not interrupt him once.   Finally we rap up the show with something a little different.  Instead of regular flying solo questions, I answer the rapid fire top 5 questions that were submitted.     Thank you to Atomos for being this weeks main sponsor.  Please check out Atomos.com and keep an ear out for the full contest rules to WIN a Ninja Star.  Thank you to AllensCamera.com, Rode Microphone and all the people on the Wheel of Fro.          

How many of you out there have ever had a band, business, client, family member or anyone else not give you photo credit?  Don’t think that this is just new for the online world.  I can think back to a few times where magazines were supposed to run my photo credit only to see if did not get printed.  I would get the we’re sorry, we will get it right from here on out.  Man that answer is really lame.   Well recently a band used my images, with permission I might add but they did not credit it the way I asked to be credited or at all for that matter.  Did I flip out and go all social media on their asses, NOPE.  I simply took the it must have gotten lost in translation approach and contact the band directly along with their management.  Be sure to listen to the full episode to hear how it all turned out in the end.     A FRO reader sent Postman FRO a very nice gift in the way of a USPS Safari hat.  You will need to see the video to check out how Sutter looked wearing it the entire show.     Stephen Eckert hit us with some photo news including one story about a woman who PEES on her film to get interesting results.  Yea, I think I have some reactions to go along with that story.     Finally we go Flying SOLO with more of your questions that get submitted on Facebook.    Enjoy the show and don’t forget to subscribe on iTunes.  A Big think you to AllensCamera.com, Atoms, RODE Microphones, and all the companies on the Wheel of FRO.    

  We have to start off with a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Stephen Eckert who's birthday was on Thursday.    There is a large portion of you guys out there who consider yourself a “Hobbyists”.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a hobbyist who loves photography and may or may not be looking to make some money with their photos.     Before the show I put out the call for hobbyists to ask me all the questions on their mind.  The response was insane with over 350 questions coming over night.  Many of them were very basic and others though basic were pinpointed at a specific topic which is great.    There were so many fantastic questions this week that I know will help a lot of you out there.  I knew this RAWtalk was going to go overtime but I wanted to make sure I answered as many questions as possible.    So sit back, learn and enjoy this 2+ Hour edition of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk.   To get your FREE “See The World” card and Bag Tag please go to info.plasticprinters.com/fro and fill out the form.  Remember this is US only.     SAN FRAN MOBILE RAWTALK INFO.  I have decided that the RAWtalk will be on Saturday August 16th possibly starting at Noon in Santa Rosa.  As of now I don’t have a sign up page but you can e mail me at jared at FroKnowsPhoto dot com with subject line SAN FRAN RAWtalk and I will keep you posted.

Isn’t it always nice to get home from being away?  I know a lot of people love being away but for me, I don’t like being away for to long.  The key to my happiness is never stopping, when I stop, I become less happy.   Many of you know I was out in Seattle on CreativeLIVE putting in 15-18 hour days and still it felt like a vacation to me.     Well, now we are home at the loft and crushing another RAWtalk Episode.  I must say, when we finished this weeks show we all sat there and said that was a good one.  Of course you never know how it really went until you release it into the wild.   Are you in London or Cologne Germany and can help with Mobile RAWtalk?  If so please e mail me at Jared at FroKnowsPhoto.com with the subject line Mobile RAWtalk Help.  I am looking for help in finding the locations, helping with the show and someone to correspond with people who are signing up.    In my opinion there are a million different tripod companies all of which are creating pretty much the same tripods.  Recently when I was at AllensCamera.com they had in stock the BENRO tripods and video tripods.  I decide to try one out and liked it.  When I like something I call the company to see if they will send me a test unit so I can see if I should recommend it to you.   In this case I really liked the video monopod for the price and functions that it offered.      Stephen hits you right in the face with more photo news before we CRUSH the flying solo questions that came in this week. 

Yes you read that right, Stephen and I recorded our very first Mobile RAWtalk in front of a LIVE Studio Audience.     Forty handpicked guests crowded into Studio A over at CreativeLIVE to listen to Stephen and I record a RAWtalk.  I must say that having a LIVE Studio Audience made the show a million times better.  The interactions with the studio took everything to an entirely new level.   The best part is when I tell a joke and people actually laugh or on the flip side you say something that falls totally flat and you hear crickets.  We ran the show pretty similar to how we run it here at the loft which means Stephen broke out the Photo News and I spent the time interrupting him.  We did gear of the week which was the NEW Atomos Ninja STAR which is only $299 and will be finding it’s way into our mobile RAWtalk kit bag.    Being that we don’t have a mobile Wheel of FRO we decide to pre record the wheel spinning and played it back on a TV for the entire ROOM to see.  This weeks spinner was our new friend Trevor who acted as our Sutter this week. He reset the cameras and passed out the microphone for the Flying Solo Portion where members of the audience could hit me with some Q and A.  Oh yea, the wheel landed on…….   Stephen and I can not thank everyone who drove from near and far to join us for the very first FroKnowsPhoto Mobile RAWtalk.  A huge thank you goes out to CreativeLIVE for allowing us to use their studio and a special thanks goes to Aaron from CreativeLIVE for busting is hump to make sure we had everything we needed.       My goal is to take RAWtalk mobile as often as possible.  I think you may all agree that this was the BEST RAWtalk EVER!!!!!

What goes into capturing images like it was 1850 all over again?  I’ll tell you, a whole lot of knowledge, caustic chemicals and a lot of practice.     I had photographer Giles Clement in to the loft this week to talk about his love affair with tintype photography.  How he got into it, how he learned what he has learned and his thoughts on the future of the medium.  Yes, I asked if it is being ruined by the easy access to everything that is needed to make tintype images.     Giles knows his stuff and I asked him to stick around for a 5 Min Portrait using one of his 8x10 view cameras.  That video was a lot of fun to make and I can not wait to share it with you.  If you would like to contact Giles for his services you can contact him on his Squarespace site http://www.gilesclement.com/ .   This week was loaded with a ton of Photo News stories that Mr Stephen Eckert brought to life.  There were some interruptions, some singing and a whole lot of fun.     Don’t forget I will be heading to Seattle to be on CreativeLIVE to teach a class on Low Light Photography starting Thursday July 10th until July 12th.  This is a FREE class as long as you tune in to the live broadcast.  While in Seattle we will be attempting our very first Mobile RAWtalk with a LIVE studio audience.   I hope you will be able to join my class.     I want to thank AllensCamera.com for their continued support, RODE Microphones for the killer audio gear we use, Atomos for our digital recorders and you.

I often put the call out for “Flying Solo” questions and generally a large portion of them have something to do with camera gear.  Those questions do have place but I think the hard hitting questions tend to be the best ones.  Sometimes the best questions are the hardest to answer.  Questions that make me think or challenge something are the ones that bring out the best answers.  Asking vague questions like “when do I know it’s time to go pro” are not exactly hard hitting.  Whereas the more pointed questions have a better chance of getting answered.  I am sure you are curious as to what those questions would sound like.  You won’t have to wait to long as I made sure to select some of the harder hitting questions this week.     Please keep the questions coming when I put out the call, your questions are helping not just me but other readers who probably are thinking the same thing.  Just remember that I probably won’t be answering the questions related to "what lens should I buy" or “how do I make money”.  But if you think it out and it’s hard hitting and to the point, there is a better chance it will get answered.     Stephen came to the table this week with a fully loaded arsenal of photo related stories.  We showcased the NEW DJI Phantom 2+ as our gear of the week.  And we unveiled the NEW Wheel Of Fro graphics that a FRO reader was kind enough to send designs over for.   There was also a little side step question that related to “What makes a good business card”.  Sam Green was here and showcased his “Plastic” business card that he picked up at http://www.plasticprinters.com/ which I am in the process of testing out as we speak.    I want to thank RODE for the microphones and arms that we use each and every week.  I also want to thank http://www.Atomos.com for their continued support and finally AllensCamera.com for being there since day one.  Don’t forget to ask for the FroPrice when you give Allens a call.     Thank you guys and enjoy the show!!!  

Springsteen, Alicia Keys, Kanye, Rihanna are just a few of the musicians that Michael Zorn has had the pleasure to work with.  I asked Michael to join me at the loft to discuss how he was able to go from working a day job to shooting some of the largest bands in the world.    You will be surprised to find out that Michael has only been shooting professionally since the mid 2000’s.  His resume would tell you otherwise but his hard work and bridge building has set him up for success.    Coming fresh off another year at Bannaroo Michael shares with you the inner workings of how he has climbed the photographic ladder.  He does not hold back on anything, which means there is a ton of unfiltered information to glean from our conversation.    Of course we can’t forget the Photo News with Stephen who hit’s us with the week in review.    Don’t forget to check out the FroKnowsPhoto limited edition Talking Bobble Head at FroKnowsPhoto.com/bobblehead.     To download this weeks show or check out the video and photo news review please go to FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-91

Photography can be many things, it can be fun, it can be an obsession, it can be a release from the world and it can be a business.  Chances are if you are following my Podcast and website you are looking to become a better photographer and in many cases make money with your photography.    The business of photography is not easy.  So many people think that being a full time photographer is the most glamours job in the world.  Il be the first to tell you there is nothing better than to get paid to take photos.  On the flip side I don’t spend as much time as I would like actually shooting.  Business, branding and marketing is where my time as a photographer gets spent.   With all of that said, I asked you guys to ask me business related questions so I can try and shed some light on the business side of photography.   I answered more questions than I have on any other podcast.  I also wanted to make very clear that there are no secrets to being successful.  Not everyone will succeed at being a full time photographer but there is no reason why you can’t make good money at being one.    All I can say is keep on shooting and fighting.  If you want something bust your ass for it.  Work harder then you have ever worked before.  Be smart, take calculated risks but don’t over step before it’s time.    A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Atoms who is releasing very soon the Nijna Star which is a $299 tool that may just change how we all record video.     For the full news stories and more please go to FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-90

Before I jump into my RANT on the theme park Six Flags I want to talk about my very special and emotional interview of my father.  I have wanted to sit down and interview my dad for a long time.  I finally got the chance a few weeks back and wanted to save this interview for Fathers Day.     This interview really means a lot to me but the hardest thing is coming up with questions to ask.  Once we got past the first few minutes our conversations started to flow as if we were out to dinner and no one was recording it.  You are going to get a look at things that no one really knows about me.  I highly encourage you to sit down with your parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters for an interview.  Ask them questions, record it, share it with your family and enjoy it.  You never know when that chance will pass you by leaving you to never speak with them again.     I kind of had a feeling this interview would take an emotion turn and it did.  Before it ends I think many of you guys may be reaching for a box of tissues to wipe away some kind of tears.  I know this is a personal interview between my dad and I but I am sure it will resonate with you all.    Next up I was denied access to Six Flags Great Adventure which is a theme park in New Jersey because of my I SHOOT RAW Shirt.  I was told that my shirt was inappropriate for their “family friendly” park that is on private property.     I was honestly taken back with being told that I could not come into the park with my shirt.  I have been wearing them for four years and have traveled the world with not one issue.  When I asked what was inappropriate they would not tell me, so I chose to take out my phone to film me asking the question.  I included the entire interview un-edited.  I did not want to cut anything from it so you could hear and see the exact conversation.    I was not happy that they would not tell me what about my shirt was inappropriate.  I fully understand my shirt has double meaning but to not get an explanation is pretty infuriating.  The one thing my brother was told was that my shirt could have double meaning.  That may be true but you should SEE the shirts they sell in their stores that are even worse than mine.  I have the images posted on the website.    Now that that is out of the way we jump into Photo News which was loaded this week. We have Apple Photo News, Kickstarter projects and much much more.    For more on this episode please check out FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-89

I read your e mails, I see your comments and I truly appreciate all of the support.    I took some time during this weeks show to discuss the future and where I think things are going for me and the site.  I answered questions about the last four years as well as read some of your favorite moments.  Regardless of wether you have been a reader since day one or you just found the site this week, THANK YOU.    So here is a HUGE THANK YOU for your support and to the future where ever it takes FroKnowsPhoto.com.   In honor of the four year anniversary I am going to give you a code worth $5 OFF your order of $19 or more at Store.froknowsphoto.com. The code is "4years".

Be sure to leave a comment in the comment section with why you should get one of those 40 random pieces of goodness.   Stephen hits us with his photo news as he has for almost a year at this point before we jump into a really interesting interview.      A few weeks back when I was in Israel I sat down with Mr. Benjamin Von Wong.  His work is “tremendous”, thought out and full of quality and imagination.  There are very few photographers out there who can think and see the world the way Von Wong does. I think you will glean some really important information from this interview.         Enjoy the show and don’t forget to subscribe on iTunes and YouTube.

What in the world is Zip Zap Zop any way?  Well, I decided to sign up for an Improv class and it’s one of the opening exercises they make you do.  When I say make you I mean it’s like a bootcamp to break down your walls.  We spent the first few minutes of this weeks podcast talking about Improv and if you have one in your area I highly recommend you check it out and possibly sign up for a class.  It really does have a photographic application as it helps you be quicker on your feet with clients and may help you speak better.   Stephen gets you caught up on your photo news for the week which includes some interesting stories.  We learn that Stephen Sutter’s mom just gave him the birds and the bees talk and much much more.    For gear of the week we had some more Wassab batteries.  I asked them to send me out some for Stephens 5D Mark III as well as for the Nikon D610’s.  Like I have said in the past, I have not been a big fan personally of third party batteries but a lot of people have said they like these wassabi products.  Do you use them, have you had any issues with them or do you think they work just fine?   FLYING SOLO is back with 19 of your questions and one of the ones I read got to SPIN the Wheel Of FRO!!!!!!   Question for you guys.  If I were to take RAWtalk on the road to different cities would you purchase tickets to see us record live and be apart of the show?  I was thinking I would find places where we can have an interactive show but the ticket sales would go to paying for the travel expenses.  Let me know what you think with a tweet @FroKnowsPhoto or Facebook Message.       

My trip to Israel was the best trip I have ever had and I don’t mean drugs.  After spending eight days in Israel where I ate some amazing food, met some amazing people and saw some amazing places I wanted to share my experiences with you.     First things first this was a FREE trip, I did not have to pay a thing.  The organization called Vibe Israel brings bloggers from around the world in different topics to help discover and talk about Israel.  I am in no way obligated to say or do anything I do not want to do.  You guys know I only talk about things I truly believe in anyway.  Their goal is to show people that Israel is more than just WAR and what you see on tv which is generally conflicts.  Now this is something that I know because I have been there before but so many people don’t know that Israel is more than just religious jewish people.  Stephen and I discuss the entire trip on this weeks show.   While I was in Israel I met Photojournalist Ziv Koren who has put himself in harms way when photographing the Israeli conflicts.  His work is extremely powerful, it’s sometimes hard to find words since his images are so strong.  Ziv is a Canon Ambassador which means he helps test out new gear before most people even know it’s real.  But beyond everything else he is one hell of a person.  I truly enjoyed getting to sit with him and spend time at his office talking photography.  Thee is nothing I enjoy more than talking shop with like minded people.    Stephen get’s us caught up on the photo new stories from the past few weeks before we jump into the interview and wheel of fro.   I want to thank Atomos for sending us out Blade back so we could use it this week.  Man oh man the screen on that thing is amazing.  What a major difference from the one we were using before.  Thank you to RODE Microphones, AllensCamera.com and everyone who hooks us up with prizes on the Wheel Of Fro.   Enjoy this weeks show, you can find all the photo news stories at FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-86    

As many of you know I am in Israel from May 5th-13th and since I am out of the country I am not able to do a RAWtalk.  But have no fear I still have an episode for you this week even though it’s something different.     This week you get to hear me being interviewed by Photographer and founder of the Photo Brigade Mr Robert Caplin.  I liked Roberts style of interview so much that I had to ask him for the audio so I could share it with you.  His questions were spot on and not the typical ones I am used to hearing.  He was able to pull information from me that not many other people have.    I really hope you enjoy something a little different this week as I would rather give you this interview than leave you hanging with no RAWtalk.    Being that this was an interview for Roberts podcast there won’t be any video but I will still post it on YouTube as well as have the MP3 available for download at FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-85   See you all very soon on the next RAWtalk.    

All My Bags Are Packed: RAWtalk Episode #084   All my bags are packaged I’m read to go, I’m standing here outside your door, I’d hate to wake you up to say goodbye…… Yup my bags are packaged and I am on my way to Israel.  At the time of this release I am hopefully in the air and a few hours into my 11 hour flight to Israel.  Adam will be joining me there along with four other photographers from around the world.  We will be in Israel thanks to an organization called Kinetis who’s goal is to try and show you that Israel is more than just WAR.  Well, Israel is part WAR, part history and part tech and I will be capturing a little bit of everything when I am there.    There will be a meet up at Google HQ in Tel-Aviv on Monday May 12th at 9:30 AM which is FREE to attend.  All you have to do is e mail officemanager@kinetis.org.il and let them know how many people you will be attending with along with a phone number.  They will e mail you back starting Thursday the 8th with all the information you will need for the meet up.    Stephen brings us his photo news stories with fewer interruptions than ever, maybe.  Scientist Sutter talks about setting up the DJI Phantom with the 3 axis gimbal and how he needs to have his tonsils taken out.   Do you know how important it is to set up your employees for success?  What I mean by this is setting them up with the tools to make their job easier which in turn saves time which saves money.  See what I ordered Stephen to help him with editing.    Gear, gear, gear, we have a lot of gear on the table for this week as I showcase some of the items I will be taking with me to Israel.    Finally we strike hard with Flying Solo and Wheel of FRO.   A BIG THANK YOU to RODE Microphones, ATOMOS, AllensCamera, Nikon for the three D610’s that we use to record each week and last but not least YOU!!!!!      

This week I had Adam Elmakias into the loft to sit down for an interview.  If you are not familiar with Adam he is the guy behind the original lens bracelet and a touring music photographer.  He has built a huge following on Intagram and Twitter and he sat down with me to share some of his stories on how he has built his following.    There was a flurry of news stories relating to concert photographers that we touched base on.  I had an interview with one of them who asked a band to credit him and use his original image but they refused in an unbelievable fashion.  The second was a tour manager ranting about photographers and how it’s a privilege to shoot their bands.    For this weeks Gear of the Week I broke out some new bags and another flying thing to discuss.    We wrapped up this week with the Wheel of FRO where Jesus Chueca got to give it a spin.    Don’t forget for more detail on this weeks Photo News stories please be sure to check out FroKnowsPhoto.con/rawtalk-83     Thank you to Atomos, RODE, AllensCamera.com and YOU for your continued support.

I have not RANTED on Ken Rockwell in a long while for a few reasons.  But after reading his latest so called “educational” set up for the Nikon D3300 I finally had enough.  You will find out what he said during the podcast but in my option it’s poisonous and dangerous to new photographers.  The information he is giving is going to leave many beginners blaming their cameras for bad pictures since he says “the Nikon D3300 can’t take a bad picture”.  Keep an ear out for the rant.   My new Herman Miller chair has landed and all I can say is go take a look on their website to see the types of chairs they have.  As photographers a majority of our time is spent in front of the computer yet we generally have crappy chairs to sit in.  We spend good money on quality gear why skimp out on the chair we sit in.    Did you photograph the blood moon?  I guess I kind o front on an article named The 30 Best Instagam Blood Moon Photos.  You know how people say it’s not the gear is the photographer well that’s not true when you are trying to shoot the moon.   I had a chance to watch the Vivian Maier documentary and I do recommend that if it’s playing in your city that you take some time to check it out.    We round out the show with FLYING SOLO and a spin of the Wheel of FRO!!!!   I want to thank AllensCamera.com, RODE Microphones, ATOMOS, Herman Miller and YOU.    

Oh how I want to tell you what’s in the box right now.  But if I did that it would spoil all the fun of listening to RAWtalk.  This week there are two surpasses in store that both so happened to be waiting for the Stephens in the Elevator.  The one for Eckert is just because but the one for Sutter is a belated birthday present since hipsters don’t celebrate birthdays.    There was some major gear introductions last week because of the NAB show in Vegas.  Atoms struck with two very cool NEW devices, one of which will capture 4K from the NEW SONY A7s which sounds like a beast.  We also can’t forget DJI releasing the Phantom 2 Vision+ with a three way gimbal head.  These three times get a few extra minutes this week.    I can’t forget to tell you that this week I received three Nikon D610’s thanks to NIKON to record our three main camera angles for RAWtalk.  We honestly didn’t test them out, we simply set them up and hoped for the best.     I may have to warn you know that there is just a small singing section, not to much but just a little.     Stephen hits us with the weeks Photo News Stories and I go into some discussion about Trey Ratcliff putting up 500 full res images for people to do anything but sell them.     All of this and more on this weeks RAWtalk Episode #081.      I want to thank Atomos, RODE, Allen’s Camera and you for making this show what it has become. 

It’s one thing for me to tell you that “ANYONE” can grow a following on YouTube but it’s another thing to see someone else actually do it.  On this weeks show I have on Matt Beck who has started a YouTube channel dedicated to cutting hair.  Yes you heard that right, his channel is called Free Salon Education and he posts four to five videos a week.  You would think that he has a photography or video background but he does not.  He knew nothing about photography a few months ago when a friend told him to check out my channel.  You are going to hear how Matt followed the methods I talk about time and time again to start building his YouTube following.   Matt dropped me a few e mails a while back with some samples of his videos.  I decided to give him a call to drop some pointers that he actually took and used in future videos.  Matt had a few more questions so I asked if he would like to come onto RAWtalk to ask his questions and tell his stories.     So if you think that it can’t be done and you need to know everything about filming a video you are wrong.  Matt is not a photographer, he is a hair stylist and business owner who decided he wanted more, and now he has more.  If you are looking to get motivated this episode is going to do it.    Before we jumped into Stephens Photo News I came clean about the April Fools Joke.  Yes, the video about Nikon doing away with RAW in future cameras was a complete fabrication on my part.  Some people fell for it others were not sure and some of you knew it right off the bat.  It is always interesting to see peoples reactions.    I had two pieces for Gear of the Week this time around including the DJI Phantom 2 Vision and an APC Battery Backup for my computer.       This weeks Episode is brought to you by RODE microphones.  Be sure to check out MyRodeReel.com to enter for your chance to win up to $70,000 in PRIZES!!!!!

It is true, I Google Nude Yoga not to participate but to see if there was information about it online.  And boy oh boy was there but there was one major problem, the photos are terrible.  Maybe my next project should be to photograph some nude yoga and to keep it fair I would photograph men and woman.   This weeks show had a bunch of different topics that we talked about before jumping into the Photo News with Stephen.  I shared my experience going and photographing the Philadelphia Flyers.  From getting the pass to being told what location I was going to shoot at for the game.     Stephen Sutter made his way back to the loft after driving for 18 hours straight.  His road trip was supposed to take him to Massachusetts but ended up somewhere NOT EVEN CLOSE.  Be sure to listen to see where in the world was Stephen SUTTER!!!   If you are in Chicago I will be going to the Phillies Cubs game on Saturday afternoon.  It is a 1:20pm CST start and I will be sitting in the bleachers.  I would love for you guys to come on out and join me wherever we decide to sit in the bleachers.    It seemed like a light photo news week with not to many major stories but Stephen found the good ones to share with you guys.    Finally there were some very killer Flying Solo Questions that took our conversation down many many paths.     What I love about RAWtalk is the fact that we have a lot of fun making it.  My goal all along has been to not create a gear centric boring photography podcast like the majority that are out there.  Sure I sing and interrupt Stephen from time to time, but that’s what makes it fun.  What I can tell you though is that we make sure to always bring the show back around to photography and learning.  The flying solo questions trigger so much information, that is why I continue to bring them to you every couple weeks      Thank you guys for your continued support!!!  A big thank you to AllensCamera.com, RODE Microphones, Squarespace.com/fro and ATOMOS.  We LOVE our Atomos, it makes recording so much easer and better quality on our main angle.

This week I have Matisyahu LIVE from the Loft around the poker table for a very intimate interview.  We also have a the first single off of Matisyahu’s latest Album.  The track is called “Watch the Walls Melt Down” and you will only be able to hear it on the Audio portion of the podcast at the very end of the episode.     I am sure you are wondering how this interview came about.  A few years ago I contacted Matisayhu’s manger to ask for all access to spend the day taking photos.  I offered up a simple trade, online usage of images in exchange for the access I needed to get the photos I had envisioned.  I did not ask for money on that shoot, I simply wanted to show what I could do and knew it could lead to getting paid in the future, and it did.    Matis was very open and candid in this interview.  It’s not often we get to hear what it’s like to have the cameras pointed at you while you are on stage but Matis let us know.  What I love about this interview is we talked about everything from the music industry to why he shaved.  I really appreciate him taking the time to join me live in the loft for this interview.    Kicking off this weeks show Stephen and I talk about shooting from the pit during the Arcade Fire Show.  You know that three song rule we are always talking about, well we got screwed out of that on this one.  I attempted to hand hold a 200-400 in the pit and give you some thoughts on wether or not I will do that again.    We dove into a ton of photo news stories and we ended with the spinning of the Wheel of Fro once again!!!     A big thank you goes out to RODE Microphones for their continued support of FroKnowsPhoto and RAWtalk.  Be sure to check out the killer contest they are running at RodeMic.com .

We have been spinning the Wheel of FRO for a few months now and we have yet to see this happen.  You are going to have to see and hear our reaction when you see the outcome of this weeks SPIN.   As always we set out to keep the RAWtalk to a manageable length and than I somehow end up going off on a tangent before we even get the show rolling.  This week was no different, I riffed on the new D4s, I yelled and sang and I interrupted the Stephens...   But what I can tell you is this was one of the most fun RAWtalk’s we have done.     Don’t forget that all the photo news stories from this weeks episode can be found at FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-77      I hope you enjoy the show and check out both the Audio and Video.

Joey L has accomplished more as a photographer than photographers twice his age, strike that three times his age.  If that didn’t catch your attention than his work will. His style is unique, distinct and sought after by major brands and companies.     I recently sat down with Joey at his Brooklyn studio for an open and straight forward discussion that takes us back to where he started and how he got to where he is today. If you have been looking for that kick in the ass this interview might just do it.    But before we get to the interview we have our regular scheduled business to attend to.     I had some house cleaning to tend to from a couple of questions I answered in RAWtalk Episode #075.  It turns out that yelling at a reader for buying an 18-200 TAMRON may have needed a little more context.    We catch up on last weeks photo news with Stephen where we discussed a photographer crowd sourcing a d4s, an interview with Max Jackson and some other interesting topics.     I want to thank RODE microphone for their support and don’t forget to check out their HUGE contest going on right here http://www.rodemic.com/myrodereel   For more information on Joey L please check out his website https://www.joeyl.com/     To download this weeks Episode and check out the photo news go to http://froknowsphoto.com/rawtalk-76/

A little over a week ago I got an email from Max Jackson’s father asking if we wanted to conduct the only interview with his son Max.  For those who don’t remember who Max is we discussed his situation in great detail on RAWtalk Episode #073.   The quick of it is he took photos of a Color Run event that the Color Run ended up asking for permission to use.  They came to an agreement via a Facebook conversation where Color Run could use the images online in exchange for linking back to Max’s Facebook page.  Fast forward a few months and Max’s photos started showing up in advertisements which was not part of the agreed upon usage rights.   A lot went down after that including Max being sued by the Color Run and the short of it is that the case has settled out of court.     So here we are with the first and only interview with Max since the entire thing started.  I want to preface the interview by saying I had to choose my questions very carefully.  I really could not dive to deep into the issues that put Max and the Color Run into the situation they ended up since they have a non disparage agreement.      With that said I think there are some really solid take home points in this interview.  We now know more about Max and his future endeavors than before.    To watch this interview please go to http://froknowsphoto.com/max-jackson-speaks/ ‎

Do you ever have those days where you just might have woken up on the wrong side of the bed?  Those days where little things tick you off and you just aren’t in a great mood?  Well that was how I felt the morning we recorded this show.    The smallest things were ticking me off which led me me YELLING at people.  Now I was not yelling in a bad way or was it?   Let’s see, I don’t think Tamron will ever talk to me not that they were talking to me to begin with.  Sometimes it just feels good to let it out and rip a piece of CRAP lens to shreds.     What I can say is as the show went on I started to wake up and get less upset.  They say that talking things out can help, so I guess yelling them out has the same effect.    Stephen hits us with his photo news followed by some Flying Solo with a little bit of yelling.    Thank you to Atomos for their continued support and be sure to check out the NEW Ninja BLADE!!!!!    

It is always an exciting day when Nikon officially announces their latest high end DSLR. That is why we take the first part of this weeks show to discuss the Nikon D4s, my next camera.   Yes I will be selling my D4 and purchasing the D4s as soon as it comes in.  I got over all the important specs of this camera and explain why I will be upgrading it.     After that lengthy discussion, Stephen and I jump into all of this weeks Photo News of which there is a lot.  We revisit the Color Run Debacle as there was finally a resolution to the situation.  Also for some odd reason Max’s father made a video just for Stephen and I thanking us for our support though I am pretty sure we didn’t exactly back his son.   This weeks gear of the week was something that was left at my place after the filming of the next video guide was finished.    Speaking of the NEW GUIDE, if you would like to stay up to date on the FroKnowsPhoto Guide to DSLR Video you can sign up t FroKnowsPhoto.com/dslr-video-guide .   I will be rolling out behind the scenes footage and photos as I gear up to release it in the next few months.  A few people on this list will be selected to be the first to check out the new guide as I need people to review it.       I want to thank AllensCamera.com, RODE Microphones, Atomos and Squarespace for their support.  I also want to thank everyone on the Wheel of Fro.

Over the past few days there has been a developing story involving a young photographer and the Color Run.  The photographer Max claims that the color run used one of his images in an advertisement without compensating him.  He asked for $100,000 and the color run decided to sue him.  Stephen and I don't jump to conclusions and try to look at all the facts that we have.  At the time of this recording the outcome was still up in the air.  By the time this goes live word has come down that the Color Run and Max have come to an agreement.  To read the full story please go to FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-73.   Before we went off on a long discussion about the Color Run we had a tremendous amount of Photo News from Stephen that really was interesting.  We also discussed the first three days of the filming of the new FroKnowsPhoto Guide to DSLR Video.     I decided it would be a good idea to have 30 flying solo questions this week that ended up taking us close to the two hour mark once again, sorry Stephen.    Please be sure to subscribe to the Podcast on iTunes, Sticher or anywhere else you download podcasts from.  You will be the first to have access to the new episodes as soon as they go live.      I want to thank this weeks sponsor ATOMOS for all of their support.  Check out the Atomos Ninja 2 and see if it is the right fit for your video needs.  We use the Ninja 2 each week on RAWtalk to give us almost unlimited video recording from a DSLR.

Last week both Stephen and I were out of town.  Stephen was in New Orleans attending his brothers wedding and I was out in LA photographing Matisyahu for his latest album. Being that we recorded Episode #071 a few days earlier than normal we had a few extra days between tapings.  You know what that means, Stephen will be angry that we talked for TWO HOURS this week.  That is what happens when you have a ton of photo news, a ton of stories from the road and a really solid Flying Solo portion. And how can we forget our new sidekick and resident Hipster Mr Stephen Sutter who had some fantastic input this week.  Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast on Itunes, sticher or anywhere else you get your podcast audio.  If you would like to watch RAWtalk shot with four cameras you can do so the day after the audio goes live.

Talk about exploiting a niche to it's fullest.  That is exactly what our guest Mike Allebach has done in the wedding industry with Tattooed Brides.   You have to listen to Mike speak about why and how he built his very successful wedding photography business around alternative weddings most notably weddings featuring Tattoos.   If you can find a niche and exploit it you can find yourself on top of an industry.  People are always asking what can I do to stand out in this very crowded industry.  Well, you can find out by listening to this weeks guest.  There will be no photo news this week as both Stephen and I spent most of the week out of town.  We recorded the podcast earlier than normal to make sure we did not leave you guys hanging.  Postman Fro did make another stop at my place to bring me some fancy new lights to test out from F and V lighting.  He also brought me a nice white box with my NEW 27 inch Imac!!! We dive into Stephens fun day of shooting a concert outdoors in the snow as well as discuss my trip to LA to photograph Matisyahu.   Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on Itunes, stitcher or anywhere else you may be listening to the audio.  As always the audio hit’s Monday’s as midnight and the video goes live on Tuesdays. Thank you to AllensCamera.com for their continued support.  Thank you to RODE Microphones and Atomos for their killer gear that helps us record high quality content week in and week out. 

A Vegas Recap, A Ranty McRanterson, 2X Wheel of FRO and Flying Solo: RAWtalk #070 This week we dive into a little bit of a recap about our Vegas Vacation which included meeting the one and only Ron Jeremy.  Along with a discussion about Stephens fun flight home with only a half a seat lol.  Since we did a little bit of flying I had to RANT just a little bit about the boarding procedure from US AIR.  The process makes no sense and really shows how well Southwest Airlines does the boarding procedure.   One of the issues we face as photographers is asking for the sale.  How much should we charge and if the client doesn't accept but offers less do you take it?  I give a little insight into an upcoming photo shoot at the negotiating behind it.  I can't forget that we have TWO NEW items for the Wheel of FRO and 2X the spins this week.  We have Photo News, Flying Solo and much more on this weeks RAWtalk Episode #070.

Welcome to the first ever RAWtalk from the road in Las Vegas.  Unlike the ad "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" what happens in vegas actually ends up on RAWtalk.  First off why were we in Vegas in the first place?  I got asked to speak at an event for a company called ClickBank.  I was on the panel to help answer as many questions as possible to help people make it online.   The second reason I was there was to attend the AVN's.  If you're not sure what that is, make sure the kids are not around when you conduct your search.  Now onto this weeks RAWtalk.  I flew Stephen out to join me to not only do RAWtalk but make some fun content while there.   The setup was pretty similar to what we have at home except we did not have the poker table or any extra lights.  So when you are watching the show you will notice that the lighting shifts and changes as the sun goes down.  All and all we were very pleased with how everything came out especially for our first RAWtalk on the road. 

Here at RAWtalk headquarters aka my LOFT we attempt to do a one hour show each week.  Much to Stephens chagrin we tend to miss the mark.  Lucky for you, you get more RAWtalk just about every week including this one. This week we take a look at the NEW GEAR that was announced at CES.  Was there a lot of major announcements from the big guns, no not really.  Canon had ZERO, Nikon had three things including something sort of like a D4s and fuji had some random cool toys.  Other than that I am glad I did not go to CES this year.  What are your thoughts on third party lenses???  I had a reader tweet at me to never recommend a sigma lens again.  I of course had a nice discussion to find out why he said that and that's what I talked about on the show.  Finally we get into the first FLYING SOLO of 2014 and I have to say the questions were on FIRE this week.  Thank you guys for downloading, listening and watching RAWtalk. This weeks show is sponsored by ATOMOS which you know we have been using for a few weeks now.  And RODE microphones which if you have ears you will be able to hear the quality of the microphones we are using.

Welcome to the first RAWtalk of 2014, we are back!!!!!  First off did you see the NEW RAWtalk Logo yet, did ya, did ya?  If not take a look at your phone, computer screen or the video to check it out. One of my goals for this years RAWtalks is to try and stay on point as much as possible while keeping the show fun and informative.  Now I am not sure if I fully succeeded this week or not but I think worked out very well.  Stephen and I discussed the last meet up of the year where we met a ton of Fro readers to see and discuss the Pulitzer prize winning photos.  We jumped into photo news which was really light this week due to CES starting after we recorded this weeks episode.   This weeks show wraps up with an explicit Rant on Banks and how they love to screw people any way they can.  Wether it's fees on top of fees or hidden changes no one ever told you about.  Please be sure that the kids have earmuffs on before listening to this portion of RAWtalk.  I guess when I get passionate I may curse slightly, so be warned and enjoy this weeks episode.

Don't worry this is not the FINAL EPSIDE of RAWtalk ever, just the final one for the year.  To kick off this weeks Episode we discuss the recent Bootcamp in New Orleans followed by my few days off in Florida.   As this is the final episode of the year I thought it would be good to look bad at some of the predictions I made last year as well as take a look into what I think will be coming in 2014.  What do you think will be coming in the photography industry?  I ended up getting sidetracked and started talking about peoples profile pictures on Match.com.   I really have to make a tutorial for how take better pictures on dating profiles.  As always we jump into Stephens Photo News with extra distractions followed by Wheel of FRO and Flying Solo.  A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has listened or watched RAWtalk this year!!!

Dave Leno at the age of 24 has attained success that has eluded people twice his age.  He has called sporting events for ESPN, the Big 10 Network and countless other outlets.  He is great on camera for the televised games and superb with his calls on radio.   You may be wondering why would I have a sports caster on RAWtalk?  The reason is you can learn a lot from how Dave has been able to attain the success he has.  You will hear how he got his first jobs, what jobs he does for free and how he continues to build his portfolio.   This is one of those interviews that I think you will take a ton from if you sit back and give it a shot. Before my interview with Dave, Stephen and I hit up the weeks photo news and topics.  Right before we recorded news came down that Instgram had a major update.  We both think this update is pretty interesting though we have yet to use it to it's fullest extent yet. Be sure to download this weeks and all past RAWtalks at FroKnowsPhoto.com/podcast

Sometimes it's just easier to say "sorry" when you make a mistake.  And last week we made an ooooppppss on the video portion of the RAWtalk.  My camera angles focus was off which means we could not cut to it the entire show.  But honestly, this type of thing happens and it just makes us more aware and prepared for the future.  Just remember the quickest way to diffuse a situation is to own up to it. Now that that's out of the way  Stephen and I catchup on how our Thanksgiving's were as well as talk about why I didn't get a pass for Jingle Ball.   I ranty Mc Ranterson on the US Postal Service when I showed up and the post office was CLOSED. I rant again on "Black Friday" sales followed by extended "Back Friday" sales followed by yada yada yada sales, give me a BREAK!!!. We discuss Gary Vaynerchuck on Chase Jarvis Live as well as preview his new book "Jab Jab Jab Right Hook".  Which if you would like to win a FREE Copy you will have to listen to that portion of the podcast.  I need your help, I am looking for quotes that you find inspiring or funny from any of the podcasts or videos.  Please e mail them to me at jared at FroKnowsPhoto.com with the subject line "quotes".  Be sure to include the link to the video along with the quote and the time it appears.   There are even a few more topics before but we can't forget Photo News with Stephen.  Enjoy this weeks Epiosde and don't forget to check out FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-64 for the Photo News articles and more.

As the holidays roll around we decided this week to dive into some gifts that we consider safe to purchase for photographers.  Purchasing gifts for photographers is not easy.  One because photography is expensive and two because you really don't know what someone needs or wants.  So Stephen brought in a few items that may make your photographer friends crack a smile.   This was the first week we had a contestant for the Wheel of FRO spinning!!!!  The first contestant who was selected off of twitter was "Troy Heckler" and you will have to tune in to see what prize he will be walking away with.   If you watch the video portion of the podcast we have to say OOOOPPPPPS and apologize.  The reason we have to apologize is the main angle on me somehow shifted out of focus meaning we will not be cutting to that angle at all.  This is a good warning to anyone filming out there to double or triple check your angles before and during recording to make sure everything is tack sharp.  But shit happens, you learn form it, move on and try not to make the same mistake again.  I hope you understand and keep coming back for me.   Lucky for us we tested out a new angle using the Atomos Ninja 2 which allows us to use the D800 and 14;24 2.8 to give us a much better looking wide-angle.  Enjoy this weeks episode and don't forget to @FroKnowsPhoto with #WheelOfFRO on twitter or Facebook.

Who wants to SPIN the Wheel of Fro and win some great prizes!!!!!  Well someone is going to have that chance if they listen of what they will need to do in order to be the first person to step up to the Wheel of Fro.  Have you seen any sponsored Instagram photos yet?  Stephen and I have and we both actually liked it.  I have no problem with them running sponsored photos like that if they continue to be really cool.  Also  I never thought that instagram would be a way to pick up girls at the bar but it is.  Your going to have to find out what I mean in this weeks episode of RAWtalk.  For those who may be deaf, hard of hearing or like to read captions, RAWtalk Episode #61 officially has subtitles for your enjoyment.  It is my hope to have more and more videos uploaded with subtitles. Postman Fro was busy this week brining us two killer toys.  The first was the RODE Video Mic GO a $99 must have microphone.   Second was the Atomos Ninja 2 which we are dying to try out on the D800. Finally we finish the week with some flying solo now with more Stephen.  Be sure to check out this weeks VIDEO and download the MP3 over at FroKnowsPhoto.com/podcast

Sometimes I like to sing, okay more than sometimes I like to sing.  This week it seemed that everything Stephen said turned into a song on my part.  But don't worry there was still a ton of photo knowledge dispensed this week.  We did have a light week on photo news but a very heavy week of Flying Solo.   Sit back, grab a drink even if it's not alcoholic and enjoy this weeks edition of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk. Don't forget that the FroKnowsPhoto 2013 Holiday Sale and Contest is going on.  Be sure to check out FroKnowsPhoto.com/contest.

It's time we catch up on ALL the photo news.  Since we did not have the photo news in the last two episodes we had a lot of catch up to do.   One of the biggest news stories of the last few weeks was the lead up to the Nikon Df announcement.  Many of you may be wounding why Stephen or I did not get in on the "rumors", you will find out in this weeks Episode.   After we catch up on all the news there is a very special interview that I conducted.  I sat down with my high school teacher who showed me the way as a new photographer.  He is the reason I do not crop and fill the frame.  This is a very personal interview that I hope lets you reflect on a teacher that you had that made a difference in your direction and life.   As always this weeks episode is available as a Video Podcast as well over on the web site. For the full information and all the news stories we discussed please check out FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-60.

What do you get when you mix a late night RAWtalk session with a small bit of drinking? You get the recap of this years PPE in NYC.   Stephen and I spent one entire day roaming the show floor of the Javitz center playing with toys and interviewing booth babes.  We spend most of this show discussing what we thought of the show before we jump into your flying solo questions that pertained to the show.   The first part of the show is spent on the recap and the last part is the actual audio from the show floor.  You may want to tune over to the website though to see the video that accompanies the audio. All I can say is we had fun and hope you guys enjoy this weeks RAWtalk Episode.  Be sure to check out FroKnowsPhoto.com/podcast for this and all past episodes of RAWtalk.

The tides were turned and I was the guest on the BlackRapid Podcast a few weeks back in Seattle.  Let me explain why you are hearing this interview this week.   Stephen and I were up in NYC at the Photo show filming on the show floor on Thursday and I was back up there on Saturday.  We wanted to put together a special podcast from the photo show in NYC.  So what is happening is Stephen is editing together the best interviews and clips from our filming and we will have a special podcast next week.  We will be back around the poker table to discuss the fans we met, gear we saw and the fun times we had.  I hope you enjoy this little role reversal this week.   Please support AllensCamera.com as they have been behind me since day one.  If you are looking for anything NIKOK new or used please give them a chance.

What am I getting at when I say is this the death of the micro 4/3rd camera?  You will find out when we hit the Photo News from last week and discuss what Sony dropped on the world.  Does this mean an end to the short lived system or will it prevail to live on into the future? Take Two: We let you in on a little secret on why we had to record the podcast twice this week.  It should really serve as a wake up call to everyone, learn from our mistakes.   This weeks news is FILLED with NEW STUFF from Sony, Nikon and Sigma, what do you think about the new goodies? Episode #057 is brought to you by AllensCamera.com, Rode Microphones and Squarespace where you can get 10% of your first order when you use code FRO10.

If you missed the release of the FroKnowsPhoto Flash Guide on Saturday, Adam Lerner and I held a special Spreecast.  We discussed everything flash photography as well as what the guide has to offer.  We took questions from the room which means there will be a ton of information to pick up in this spreecast.  I recommend putting it on in the background and listening to the audio.  FroKnowsPhoto.com/flashguide

Last Saturday a bunch of Fro Readers met Stephen and I in Philadelphia for a last minute FrotoWALK.  Unlike some of my other FrotoWALKS we actually walked around the city looking for and capturing images.  I had a fantasy time and met some truly great people.  As you know, I have been working with Adam to get the FroKnowsPhoto Flash Guide out into the world!!!!   Well I am proud to announce that it has been unleashed into the wild and you can find it at FroKnowsPhoto.com/flashguide We hammer home Stephens Photo News this week along with a pretty cool gear of the week all before we FLY SOLO!!!! I hope you enjoy this weeks episode.  Don't forget to catch up on past episodes if you have missed any.

On this weeks RAWtalk I sit down with someone who has created a very selective directory of photographers to help them stand out in a noisy word.  Stephen and I discuss the Photo News of the week along with a few other topics.  Playing on the theme of standing out in this noisy world I discuss a new book from my friend Gary Vaynerchuck called Jab Jab Jab Right Hook.  This book is poised to give you that kick in the butt you have been looking for to help your photography grow.  Finally the gear of the week comes from RODE who sent me out some new over the ear microphones to try out on an upcoming RAWtalk Episode. We live in a crowded world of photographers "trying" to make it.  Many people want to know how to get noticed and I think I have found one answer.  Wonderful Machine is not your typical "agency", in fact they don't consider themselves an agency at all.  Agencies take a percentage of your business and WM does not.  Wonderful Machine can more accurately be described as a photographer directory and that is extremely important.  Be sure to listen to the interview I conducted with WM founder Bill Cramer and find out if you have what it takes to be added to their machine. I know so many of you out there want to know what the secret is to making it.  The truth, there is no secret, it's a mix of hard work, meeting the right people with a small mix of being in the right place at the right time, AKA luck.

Stephen was in Vegas and I was in Seattle so we had to record this weeks RAWtalk about two weeks early.  The reason we did this is we didn't want to leave you hanging without an episode.   Since we recorded early there wont be any photo news but if I am being honest I really enjoyed the banter throughout the entire episode.  Thought we didn't have news I think it flows really reall well. Oh yea we had a special guest in the studio this week, Mr Sam Green!!!!  For those who don't know who Sam is you will hear his story during this weeks conversation.   Being that we had some extra time I also included a flying solo portion to answer as many questions as possible.   My favotite part of this week is when I was asked to sing a Limp Bizket song.  All I can say is you've gotta have FAITH!!!!!!

Made in America is a music festival that is put on in Philadelphia by Jay Z and Budweiser.  It draws some of the largest acts in the world and brings over 100,000 people to a two day concert.  This was the second year that Stephen and I would be photographing the event and boy do we have some stories for you.  I though it would make for a great RAWtalk topic and it definitely did.  If you listened last week you would have heard Shawn Corrigan talk about how he was going right from my loft to the airport to fly back to LA.  Well, he ended up not getting on that flight, be sure to keep an ear out this week to find out why.  As always we bring you the weeks Photo News and you can find the full stories over on the podcast page.  This weeks RAWtalk is sponsored in part by RODE microphones.  Be sure to check out their deal that is running until the end of September to get a FREE copy of a killer $199 software.

This week I sat down with a long time friend Shawn Corigan who has been traveling the world as a professional photographer/videographer for the better part of ten years.  You will find out how Shawn worked his way into the music scene first as a guitar tech and later on as a photographer and videographer.   Shawn touches on how he became a go to assistant for a few big name photographers. Speaking of assisting Shawn is looking for a good assistant in the LA area so if that is you be sure to listen closely to our interview.  Stephen hits us with more photo news and I discuss a very controversial subject of photographing same sex weddings.  Be sure to Download this weeks RAWtalk.  If you have missed any past RAWtalk episodes be sure to subscribe on itunes as well as download all past episodes.  

I know it sounds like I went to Canon, well I actually did.  I went to Canon headquarters for a little meeting at their new facility in New York.  I got a call a few weeks back asking if I would like to go up to Canon for a meeting and I figured this would be a good chance to be seen by everyone at Canon.  For the record, they paid for transportation, hotel and a few drinks at dinner.  For the full story as to what I saw when I was up there be sure to listen to this weeks RAWtalk.  Stephen hits us with his photo news and I attempt to sing some country songs before jumping into this weeks flying solo portion of the show.  Don't forget to subscribe on iTunes as well as download this weeks episode as an MP3. 

We are back with a Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That on this weeks RAWtalk Episode #048.  After that last two weeks combining for to be a two hour episode I was attempting to keep this latest one to an hour, I failed.   We jumped right into photo news and hit on seven or eight interesting stories.  You can find details and information about each news story over at FroKnowsPhoto.com/rawtalk-48. Like the title says we cover al title bit of this and a little bit of that.  I had a follow up to the "In My Opinion" episode where a FRO reader received a letter letting them know that they made honorable mention.  I get back into the giving my opinion mode during this segment.  Next up I got an e mail asking if a photo contract was worth signing in order to photograph a band.  You really are going to need to hear what this contract asked him to sign to believe it.   Finally I finish with your FLYING SOLO questions which as always are full of great questions.

I hope you enjoyed part one of Episode #47 last week as much as we did.  If you have not listened to Part 1, you may want to do so before jumping into this latest episode.  For those who did hear Part 1 last week, you are going to really love Part 2, where Stephen and I jump into the week's photo news and discuss the new ZOOM H6 that came in the mail.  Not only will you find the photo news preview video below, but you can find all the stories and more that were discussed in this week's episode.

What started out as a regular RAWtalk episode to discuss music, low light and concert photography turned into an almost two-hour marathon of killer information.  I ended up splitting it into two episodes, with part one airing this week and part two coming next week. As always, I sit down with Stephen to discuss the week's photo news, which brings us some pretty interesting stories.  I asked Stephen to stay a while and join in on the low light / concert discussion being that he has shot a ton of shows over the past few years.  After that, I moved into the Flying Solo portion of the show where I took your questions about shooting concerts.  Our conversation was so in-depth that we didnt get to the flying solo portion of the show until late in the episode, so we'll be featuring some of the material in next week's show. Enjoy this weeks RAWtalk and be sure to download Part 2 next week.

This week, I hit on a topic about which I had to be very very careful how I chose my words.  There is a fine line between one's opinion and what could be perceived as something else.  I am still choosing my words wisely as I write up this description.   I am talking about a photo contest that is a legitimate photo contest but chooses a lot of winners and asks you to purchase a photo book with your photo in it.  How many times do I say "in my opinion" during this week's RAWtalk?  Please leave a comment on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube with the number.  Finally, we can't forget photo news with Stephen where he shares with us the week's highlights while we also celebrate his birthday.

Welcome to another week of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk.  This week, Stephen and I bring you the photo news from the previews week, including a massive image sensor coming out of China, more goodies from Magic Lantern, a new way to store 360 Terabytes of data and a huge tin-type camera.   Joining me this week at the RAWtalk poker table is professional photographer Dom Savini. Dom is a fantastic photographer, who, amongst other things, photographs the Philadelphia Eagles' cheerleaders. Dom dispenses some excellent tips on starting out in photography and how to book jobs in your career. Finally, I wrapped up this week's RAWtalk with Rapid Fire Flying Solo session where Stephen put 10 minutes on the clock and I answered as many questions as possible.  Don't forget to subscribe on iTunes or your iOS/Android device to automatically download the latest RAWtalk episodes when they go live. 

Always a bridesmaid never a bride. Weddings, weddings, weddings, everyone wants to know how to shoot weddings.  Continuing on the themed style show this week, I sat down to talk all things wedding photography.  You guys supplied some fantastic questions that took this episode to a new length, literally.   If you didn't have the itch to shoot weddings before, you might just have it after listening to this week's show.  

As many of you know, I studied at the  Antonelli Institute of Graphic Design and Photography and when they asked me to come back and speak to the entire photography class, I jumped on that opportunity. They didn't tell me what to say, other than to be myself and say it like it is.   What do you say to a hundred photographers, half of whom will be graduating only days later?  Do you tell them they won't find jobs out there? No. Do you tell them it's hard to make it? Yes, but in a way that gives them a direction to be successful.   My goal with speaking to the class was to try and give them a realistic look at things they can do to be heard in this very crowded world of photography.   I really hope you enjoy this speech and are able to take something from it. 

Do you want to know how to better market your photography?  Tuning in this week to the Marketing Hour would be advised.   As usual, Stephen and I hit on all the latest photo news from the week, including the announcement of the Canon 70D.  Following the news, the show turns into the Marketing Hour.  I put out the word on Facebook that I was looking for marketing questions and you guys supplied me with so many good ones that this episode goes on for an extra half hour.  It went on so long that the battery in the GoPro decided to die on me.   Sit back and enjoy both the audio and video of this week and get ready for some killer nuggets of marketing information. 

As the title says, Ken Rockwell is not on this week's RAWtalk, but that's not for a lack of trying.  You will hear his response to my invitation in the first few minutes of this week's episode.   It was a busy news week filled with new cameras from Fuji and Samsung. We'll also discuss the meritos of Instagram Video vs Vine and the latest addition to Google Street View, which now takes us to the tallest building in the world.   Be sure to keep an EAR out for some secret words.  When you hear something that you think is secret-word worthy, be sure to tweet it with the hashtag #RAWtalk or post it on the Facebook Fan page with the same tag.  Rounding out this episode, I answer your questions during the FLYING SOLO portion of the podcast. 

On this week's RAWtalk, Stephen and I discuss some of the major news stories from the prior week. SIGMA finally announced pricing for its much anticipated 18-35 F1.8 lens.  A photographer is suing BuzzFeed for $3.9 Million.  Is this the Canon 3D in this blurry photos???  Rumors are flying that Adobe may drop the price of Photoshop and Creative Cloud soon and NASA gives us a first-hand look at what cameras are on the Mars Curiosity Rover.   Get ready for another action-packed, levels busting Flying Solo Portion of RAWtalk where I answer your questions directly. 

I had the opportunity to head up to New York City to interview one of the most famous Rock Photographers ever, Bob Gruen.  Bob captured Rock and Roll in its heyday, living with bands, joining them on the road and sharing in the lifestyle.  He captured one of the most recognizable images in the history of music photography: John Lennon wearing his New York City T-Shirt.   Could you image being asked to be John and Yoko's personal photographer?  Being that close to one of the most respected and successful musicians of all time?  Bob was more than just a photographer for them, he was their friend.   I sat down with Bob in his studio in NYC for this candid conversation that could shave gone on for hours.  The stories are awe inspiring and leave you wanting to hear more.  Lucky for you a documentary on Bob's work was just released on Showtime so please check your local listings for the viewing schedule.   To check out Bob's photo books you can do an amazon search for Bob Gruen.  Enjoy this once in a lifetime conversation with Bob Gruen.

Last week the Chicago Sun Times decided to axe its entire photography staff in favor of freelancers and reporters with iPhones.  We had to cover this discussion in more detail because it was so out there.  You will not believe the quotes that came from the people who made this decision, WOW.   Stephen sits down to bring us the week's Photo News stories, which include a NEW image sensor that is 1000x more sensitive to light, a band trying to sell photo passes to their shows for $150 and a memory card that will allow for RAID storage.  Be sure to download this week's episode on iTunes or give it a watch on YouTube.

Thanks to BorrowLenses.com I have been playing with the Canon 1D X and a bunch of the pro lenses.  It has long been my goal to play with the top of the line Canon and compare it to my Nikon D4.  This week I start to discuss some differences between the two cameras to start to formulate a comparison review.  All I can say is I am enjoying using the Canon 1D X and all the pro glass that came with it.   This week Stephen is back with more photo news ranging from Flickr Hacks to Photographers fighting in Paris to hidden war photos from 40 years ago.   I wrap up this week with a spirited Flying Solo portion where I was on FIRE with my responses.  Just remember my responses are in good fun and not meant to be taken as if I am angry at all. 

What a week it was for Flickr, they launch a totally redesigned site, they do away with pro accounts, give you 1TB of photo storage for FREE and their CEO says there is no such thing as Professional Photographers anymore.  We will discuss this and more along with a special interview with Adam Lerner discussing his recent magical trip to Cuba.

On this week's RAWtalk, Stephen is back with a bunch of the industry Photo News including three stories about Canon.  We also revisit the Adobe Creative Cloud discussion before moving into the Flying Solo portion on this week's episode.  Be sure to keep an ear our for secret phrases to tweet and post on Facebook.  Don't forget to subscribe on iTunes as you will be the first each week to automatically be sent the new RAWtalk.
