Well THAT was a lot of fun! I liveblogged the Special Event (iPhone 8 / iPhone X launch) MST3K style. As expected that video has been blocked on YouTube (copyright infringement on the music) but that's OK, here's the post-show commentary!
Time to answer a few of those lingering questions from the comments… we begin with a few shorter answers.
Let's get GOOey! With Affinity Photo you can liquify an image, which can actually be far more useful than it sounds! Scale eyes to match, add a hint of a smile, and a whole lot more.
Why would you liquify a photo, short of GOOing up your kid's or dog's face? It turns out there's some pretty powerful stuff you can do when your image turns to silly putty.
This will be an unboxing (right after I re-box it…) and a first look. We'll pop it on the camera, see what the field of view looks like compared to the 7-14 and 12-35, and generally discuss the look and feel of the thing!
The Behringer X AIR XR16 is up and running! Definitely not fully configured yet, but let me show you what it's like so far! Also, we're using YouTube's new Ultra Low Latency Streaming Mode. What do you guys think about it?
We did the unboxing… now let's see if it's any good! Today's show will be broadcast from the YouTube app on an iPhone 7 Plus connected to the SAMSON Go Mic Mobile.
Stacking allows a multitude of options, including one we didn't see before in the macOS video — noise removal! This technique can take your high-ISO photos to a noise-fee nirvana.
I don't even recall where I first heard about this wireless lav mic, but I ordered it months ago and it's been on backorder — but it finally arrived. Wireless digital microphones (2.4 GHz) have been problematic in the past, but Samson Go ensures that they've resolved traditional problems (dropouts and crackles when not line of site, primarily). Let's find out!
We'll be showing how the Epiphan Webcaster X2 can be set up with dual cameras; not just a webcam as camera 2, but hopefully a real camera via a USB converter. Watch here to see if it works!
We've been waiting for this GH5 firmware update all summer… the official announcement is below; tune in here for a live analysis of what this means!
Stacking a sequence of photos of the same scene offers incredible opportunities, such as simulating long exposures, automatic people removal, the creation of star trails, and more!
Let's take a first look at the Loupedeck Dedicated Controller for Lightroom 6 & CC to see how well it works.
We haven't done one of these in a little while. Let's answer some of these questions that have been building up. Was your question on the Answering Block?
Hey everyone, I'm back from Stockholm. Let's catch up! Sorry there weren't more live shows. Sometimes a guy really needs a vacation with the kids. Let's open the packages that arrived while I was gone and talk about my mobile photo / video editing setup.
Just a quick hello… a good morning from Stockholm! Just a quick check-in while still on vacation. Definitely check out http://instagram.com/photojoseph to see the shots from the trip. (Oh, and the word he was looking for was Archipelago Tour)
