Cheapest Photo Studio Lighting Option Ever?!
You can't really have a photo studio without lighting. That's the whole meaning of the word “photo”. Could these LEDs be the cheapest way to get studio lighting?
PhotoJoseph’s Photo Moments are a short video series that go live every weekday at 9:30am PDT. The topic can be anything photography related… gear, technique, what I’m shooting today, how I edited a photo… whatever! You can watch live at Facebook.com/PhotoJoseph and catch up on past ones here. If you want a question answered in a future Photo Moment, post it on a recent video or announcement on Facebook!

This is the first “podcast” style episode, where we'll be talking news in the world of photography. Today's topics are:
•• iPhone 8 & iPhone X Cameras
•• People bruning holes in their cameras during the eclipse
•• DJI's updated quieter, longer-lasting Mavic drone
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.
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.
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!
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?
