No Official plug this week, just some discussion about some videos I will be making in conjunction with Adobe. This week I sat down with Noah who started working with us a few months back.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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/ .

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.

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.
