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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
