RANT Ken Rockwell says “pros only shoot in Pro mode, that’s why it’s called Pro mode - RAWtalk #112

Welcome back to another fun filled week of FroKnowsPhoto RAWtalk where I occasionally curse, scream, sing, rant and talk photography.  This week I did not plan on ranting I only planned on sharing a few direct quotes from a certain someones website. 

Now I know you are asking yourself why do you read that guys site and my answer is because I want to see what he will say next.  Now that that’s out of the way what did he say this time?  First there was a quote about a camera being free but it costs $1,250 followed by “some people have this idea that pros only shoot in manual exposure mode”.  All I can say is skip to 36:48 put your earmuffs on and get ready to be frustrated.

This weeks show sponsor was RODE microphone and I featured their Invisilav which honestly will come in handy when I need to put a lav mic under my shirt.  The truth of the matter is we currently just use gaff tape to stick the mics to my chest.  In reality we should be using the invisilav which we are going to start doing.  You will notice I had a little bit of trouble getting the included tape to stick and I have verified that it’s because it’s skin safe.  My solution to this is use wig tape or gaff tape and you will be good to go.
