  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...

  Yes I ordered the new iPad Pro and yes Stephen and Todd made fun of me for a good long while for using it during this weeks show.  Is it for photographers, do you need it, will I return it or love it?  You get to hear my thoughts at 2:55 of this weeks episode.    This weeks show is brought to you by the NEW Rode VideoMic ME.  Aka this really cool microphone that plugs into your IOS or Android de...

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 w...

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...

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 sm...

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...

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...

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...
