The biggest story this week was about comments a self proclaimed “famous” photographer made to one of his commenters.  I can honestly not believe an adult would make such a harmful comment to someone, WOW.  Hear all about it at 33:18 of this weeks show.    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.  We were out to breakfast and he started talking about an idea for writing a book.  After a quick discussion and a few ideas I suggested he sits in as a guest on the show and we discuss.  This is a perfect interview for anyone who has an idea and wants to make it happen.    PHOTO NEWS, Gear Of The Week and Wheel of FRO round out the rest of the show.    Thank you all for your continued support.   00:00:16 - Show Intro 00:01:35 - Importance of Battery Backups 00:04:50 - Reminder: Live Philly RAWtalk 00:05:50 - Plug: I Shoot Raw Bag 00:08:57 - Photo News 00:09:58 - Lightr

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, Faceb

  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

We made the trip out to Las Vegas for CES 2016 because Nikon said we will not want to miss the show.  Turns out they were correct.  Nikon announced not one DSLR in the way of the D5 but a surprise to the world in the way of the D500.  We discus everything that happened in Las Vegas from encountering hookers to running into Shaq again and all the fun toys from CES.   This weeks show was brought to you by HOYA and their HD3 Filters which have been tested to have the BEST LIGHT transmission rate in the entire industry.  That means if you put it in front of your top of the line glass, you will not be hurting your image quality.    Stephen brings us the Photo news, we have some gear of the week and we finish with Flying Solo.  Oh yea, the wheel of FRO may have stopped or come close to landing on the Grand Prize.    Thank you all for your continued support, please subscribe on YouTube / iTunes and thank the sponsors for helping this show continue to grow.   00:00:16 - Show Intro 00:02:04 - Las Vegas / CES Recap 00:

  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 10
