Longtime readers of this newsletter know that I'm a timelapse video freak. I love using my phone to create videos that see the world fly by at top speeds, with flowing clouds, having day turn night, shadows forming and disappearing, and of course, seeing people running around the world like speedy ants. There's rarely been an episode of PhotowalksTV that didn't have a timelapse section to it, and most of the recent ones have been created with my go-to, favorite timelapse app, the free Blackmagic Camera app, which is available for both Apple and Android devices.
In this episode, we put on our best Casey Kasem for a countdown of the 100 locations we've visited on PhotowalksTV through the years, from the Hollywood Walk of Fame to the California Gold Country. Along the way, we've got some beaches, some France, Spain, Italy, Mexico and Canada, a little Ohio, Florida and Georgia, and the entire West, from Washington to Montana, from Colorado to Utah and then some. Have a listen as we offer tidbits about each visit. And ICYMI, be sure to catch the video companion as well. https://photowalkstv.com/100-photowalks/ Get full access to Jefferson Graham's PhotowalksTV newsletter - Tech & Travel at www.jeffersongraham.com/subscribe
When both Apple and the photo centric publication PetaPixel in the same week deem that Kino is the smartphone app of the year, I take notice. Kino is an app for iPhone video shooters who want manual controls over what they see, and an alternative to the all-automatic sheen of making videos in the iPhone Camera app. The cost is all of $9.99, and it's a relative bargain. What Apple said: “Kino shows users how cinematic life can be through its film-inspired filters and advanced controls.”Petapixel: “Kino is just that one small extra step to mobile video capture that makes it a lot more approachable.”Have you heard about iPhone video advancements in the 15 and 16 series that let you shoot video in the “ProRes,” and “Log” formats, for better control over your color and final filmic look to the project? The Kino app helps you make sense of all that and offers tools to make use of them in a way easier fashion than via the iPhone Camera app. On the iPhone Camera app, you have to take the time to process the images. Not so with Kino. You also get the ability to shoot in manual focus and adjust the lighting with more refinement.Kino comes from the folks at Lux, which also makes the Halide app, covered here a few months ago. It's the still photo app for people who don't like shooting everything in auto mode on the iPhone, and offers, like Kino, an unprocessed version of what you see in real life. So let's run down Kino. In a welcome twist for an app developer, Lux actually begins the process with a manual telling you about all the features. But let's admit it: no one wants to read. They just want to press buttons. So let me tell you what they are. * The tools shown on the main page are basic: Auto focus vs. manual, the choice of lenses (.5 ultra-wide, wide and telephoto, if you have them on your iPhone) the format you want to shoot in (LOG vs. regular processed video) and the welcome sight of audio meters, to let you know that you indeed have audio. * Two other buttons send you to color grade options. Similar to Styles, Apple's tools to apply different color looks to your photos, before or after the fact, these different kind of film looks are offered, and can be applied to the video before you start shooting. In tech terms, they're called LUTs, and by having them right there in the app, it makes the editing process a whole lot easier, as they can be added before or after you shoot. * A second arrow on the main page brings up more choices: White Balance lets you adjust the color, and you can also increase the stabilization, use the level tool to make sure your horizon is in check and flip the camera around to selfie mode. Finally, there's Settings, where you have the ability to apply more color grades (many are available for sale on the internet) and change the quality of your recording. The big deal about the app is shooting in LOG (unprocessed video) and getting to apply the different filmic choices (called LUTs) directly to the video. The look is a little less sharpened and glossy, and more reminiscent of what things looked like in the film days. Let's be honest though. Most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a graded video and out of the camera automatic on the iPhone. I can, however, and I think it looks great. Since you read this newsletter, I'm guessing you'll be able to tell the difference too. My go-to video app is still Blackmagic Camera, which offers many of the same features, for free, plus the ability to record great timelapse videos, in a slightly more complicated fashion, but it's really easy to recommend Kino. The app is for anyone who wants to improve the look of their videos and see what all the fuss is about from the filmmaking community for getting higher grade iPhone videos. For $9.99, you can't go wrong. You'll need an iPhone 15 or 16 to get the most of the app. Kino is only available for iPhones. Sorry Android fans.A Watch App tooIn Petapixel's best of article, it also signaled out a $6.99 Apple Watch app that should appeal to photographers, called Lumy. This app gives you information about sunrises and sunsets, when to expect Golden and Blue hour and more. “It works alongside Apple's various Watch faces and is the perfect companion for outdoor photographers,” Petapixel said. I don't have an Apple Watch (my old one won't connect, and I don't like wearing watches anyway,) but this sounds like great info I'd love to have on my wrist. Other award winnersPetapixel named the iPhone 16 Pro the phone of the year, the new Mac Mini the computer of the year, and Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve editing software the desktop software of the year. DaVinci is software that's free, unlike $299 for Apple's Final Cut Pro or a hefty monthly subscription (starts at $20.99) for Adobe Premiere, and is beloved by editors for color grading tools. Plus—ahem, it's free. PetaPixel says it's “powerful and fast, but also feature-rich.”Of the iPhone, PetaPixel called it “the uncontested champ of content creation. No other smartphone comes close to the iPhone for making high-quality videos.” It signaled the phone out for the new Camera Control feature, which sounded great to me when it first came out, because it's a one-click button to open the camera faster, but in reality, I haven't used it since. It's too cumbersome, and I find it easier to just open the camera the only way. Videos look great though!Phone updateLast week I told you to be very wary of the “free” phone offers from the big 3 wireless companies, which, in a nutshell, will upgrade you to a higher rate program that you don't need, give you an entry level phone with little storage on it and extend your contract another year to pay for the “free” device. They also make you pay a hefty sales tax on the purchase price of the phone. Get a new iPhone 16 Pro for free? In California, add $100 tax and the $50 or so “activation” fee.My mom Judy would like you to know that you can skip all those games by picking up a decent used model. She likes Androids, especially cheap old ones, and paid $175 for a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (the current models are S25) for $175. That's a little more than the tax/fees for the “free” device without having to pay for a higher rate contract or extend the terms. She says:“Had Samsung, so wanted same to be familiar with the workings. Not concerned about photo capabilities. Do take pictures. Mostly to upload to Etsy or eBay for items I'm selling. The cost, including tax, and new case, was less than tax on "free" phone. I'm very happy with decision not to get "free" phone.”At $175, even if it was only one year of use, that's great. (To answer the question you're thinking: I bought her a new phone earlier this year, but it was too small—she didn't like it, and had me return it.)YouTube TV Stinks!Actually, I think the streaming alternative to cable TV is as good as it gets, with a easy to follow interface and the ability to record TV shows and watch them later. But the pricing is just out of whack. It was just a few years I covered the introductory press conference when it started with a $35 monthly rate. By 2024, it had climbed to $72.99 monthly, and this week YouTube announced a hefty $10 monthly price increase, to $82.99 monthly. The culprit? Higher programming costs. To which I say: I left cable because I didn't like paying over $100 a month to watch TV and get all these channels I never look at. FireworksLast weekend the city of Manhattan Beach, where I live, kicked off the holidays, as it always does, with a big fireworks display, and as always, I was there to document it with a video. What was different this year though was that I made it a group project. A bunch of us camera enthusiasts got together at a local party, and then dispersed, to get different points of view of the rockets blasting. Having a New Year's party this year around a fireworks display? You might try this method—as it makes for a more interesting video. The video clips were all shot on iPhones. Thanks as always for taking the time to read, watch and listen! I'm off to the next big Photowalks shoot next week, back to San Francisco, so here's hoping for lots of dry days!

I've got two new New Mexico episodes of Photowalks all cued up for you. We leave Santa Fe for a drive north to tiny Abiquiu, pop. 200, where the beloved artist Georgia O'Keeffe had her home, in both town and the nearby Ghost Ranch. What's a visit there like? Let me show you. From Abiquiu, we continue further north, to perhaps my favorite spot in the Land of Enchantment, Taos, home to the oldest living continuous community in the United States, the Taos Pueblo, a thriving artist community and some of the best desert landscape you'll see anywhere. This is a return visit to Taos—the last time I did an episode there two years ago the Pueblo was closed, and I hadn't yet met Ruthann McCarthy, Sol Lothe or Alberto Real from the amazing Camino Real Imports shop. Ruthann is the friendly woman in the cowgirl hat who runs the Legacy Cafe in the town Plaza—her family has been in the Plaza for over 100 years and no one knows Taos like she does. Sol is the character who takes people up, up and away in his Rio Grande Balloons. He was nice enough to invite me up there for a ride in his beautiful balloon, and do a great interview from the skies. Alberto's family runs this electric curio shop, with seemingly over 1 million items—everything from sun art, hanging ristras and pottery, to lots and lots of skulls. These episodes were filmed primarily on the iPhone 16 Pro and 15 Pro Max models, with some key balloon shots on the Insta360 X4 and driving shots on the GoPro Hero 12. And ICYMI: Santa FeNorthern New Mexico, as you can see in the videos, is extra magical in late October, with beautiful fall colors, so mark your calendars for next year. I hope to be back in the spring, with visits to Las Cruces, Roswell, White Sands and more, so stay tuned. Thanks as always for watching, reading and listening.

This is the time of year when many blogs and tech news sites start hunting for supposed “deals” and offer “tips” on what to buy for the big Black Friday sales holiday. What they're really doing is fishing for affiliate link commissions. The “deals” are always subjective, however, it is true that every retailer you know and love will have products discounted. Whether you really want them or not is another story. The discounts are only worth it if it's something you're actually looking for. I, for instance, want to buy a new computer, and I know that Apple traditionally only offers (teeny) discounts for Black Friday. So I'm in. I'll wait and shop, and walk out with a new Mac Mini that may cost less during the sale. Or may not. I do get questions all the time about the mobile gear I use to produce to make a travel series, so since we're in buying season, I'm going to run down the list—most of what I use is already on sale, with decent savings that might interest you. Do know that like other newsletters, we too get a commission for affiliate links, but the purpose of this piece isn't to sell, but to enlighten. (The mini commissions do help keep the lights on and pay for those grilled cheese sandwiches!)Photowalks GearWhat does it take to produce a travel series on mobile phones, mostly all shot by me? Read on: Phones: I bring the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max as my main cameras on the road, along with a Samsung Galaxy S23. I couldn't be happier with the quality, except when sunspots put weird marks in the image. A big question this year was on how big an upgrade the iPhone 16 is from the 15 series. Very minimal. The 16 phones have a “Camera Control” button on the side that brings up the camera and settings in what was billed as a quicker response, but in fact it's awkward and dialing in the settings is no easier. Plus, the 16 phones have artificial intelligence features that mostly do things that don't greatly improve our lives, like summarizing e-mails and a new, not more responsive Siti. More new features are coming in 2025, so stay tuned, but I'm guessing the iPhone 17 will be more of a substantial upgrade. (The best AI feature is a iOS18 freebie that works on older phones too—the ability to instantly transcribe any recording made in the Voice Memos app.)Rode Wireless Go II Microphones: These little portable mics changed my life, making it much easier to get good audio out in the field, and mic up interview subjects. That said, there is a competing product that many of my fellow YouTubers swear by and it's the DJI Mic II, a product I've thought about switching to, because it's truly wireless. With my mic, I plug the receiver into the USB-C port via a cable on the iPhone and it connects to the transmitter that is on my lapel. The DJI unit just slips directly into the USB-C port, however, sans wires. Rode just came out with a copy of the DJI Mic called the Wireless Micro, with a pair selling for $149.99. I'd love a pair of those on Black Friday sales! (But how many Mics do I need? I already have four pairs of Rode mics!)Peak Design Travel Tripod. Ever notice how on Photowalks, I address the camera, without having my arm extended in one of those “I'm holding the iPhone at arm's length” shots? I pull that off by placing the phone atop my trusty tripod, which beyond my “stand-ups” is also vital for timelapses and interviews. I've been carrying around heavy tripods for years, but it wasn't until I started toting the lighter Peak Design travel tripod that I actually enjoyed carrying the thing. It's pricey, but a hefty Black Friday sale brings the price down to $300 from $379. It's light, it's sturdy, it opens and closes quickly and fits into a suitcase. The runner-up is Neewer's Litetrip LT32, which set out to clone the Peak Design tripod, but with cheaper materials. It too fits into a suitcase, takes a little longer to unfold, but is on sale for just under $170, down from $230. Cages. I house the iPhone 15 Pro Max in a Neewer filmmaking cage. I also use the $40 Small Rig Cage as well. (I paid $40 and it's on sale for $25.) The reason for the cage? It has slots to plug in the mic and light (LED by Aperture, $72, normally $99) and can connect to a tripod or Selfie Stick/mini tripod (Insta360, $21) without the need for an additional smartphone tripod mount. I don't use gimbals, the product sold to help you supposedly steady your video shots. I'm not a fan—they take too long to set up, and the difference in quality is so minimal it's not worth the effort. I feel I can get video pans that are just as smooth with a Cage atop the selfie stick. Insta360 X4 camera. For those times in your life when you want to get a shot of you walking down the street, and there's no one around to film you. Or, you want a shot of a bunch of you waving from a hot air balloon in the sky, or from the top of a lighthouse. The Insta360 cameras have two lenses, on the front and back, giving you a complete wide-screen view. The shots are wild and you can do some crazy things with the camera. I wouldn't do a travel video without it, but only when used sparingly. The camera sells for $500, but is now on sale for around $425. (The X4 is the new edition, released in 2024 with higher resolution than the previous model, and yes, the shots really look better on the X4.)GoPro Hero 12. I didn't upgrade to the new GoPro Hero 13 this year, a model that primarily offered new lens attachments and a better battery. I still use the Hero 12 in pretty much every video I do, for awesome driving shots. The 12 is on sale, $100 less than last year, for $299 while the Hero 13 is also discounted and only $40 more. If you're new to GoPro or need an upgrade, I'd get the new one. DJI Mini 4 Pro. What is a travel video without a sweeping drone shot? For that, we turn to the Mini 4, the smallest full-featured drone DJI makes for $999. (Amazon has a $40 Black Friday discount on it.) You recall that last December, the ocean ate my drone when I got too close for one more shot, and there went my old Mavic Air 2S. The Mini comes with its own controller for flying that doesn't require being connected to the phone, which I like. And while we're on the subject of drones, I wrote a few weeks ago about DJI's latest Neo, a drone that flies by itself, without needing a controller, and I said it would be one of the biggest hits of the season, as it sells for just $200. I stand by that, but that doesn't mean it's good. I bought and returned the drone when I discovered it's just a toy and doesn't fly very high. Power: When I'm out in the field on a shoot, the iPhone starts running low on juice by 11 a.m., which is why I never travel without several power banks (and multiple phones.) I like this MagGo from Anker, which has a nice discount of $53, down from $90. Mac Mini/MacBook: I edit every episode of Photowalks on a 16 inch MacBook Pro from 2021, but the computer is showing its age by slowing down. I plan on augmenting it with a second computer, the new Mac Mini with M4 Pro chips, which has more power than the iMac. (The Mini has the new M4 Pro chip and 12 core CPU and 16 core GPU, vs. 10 core CPU and the regular M4 chip on iMac.) The Mini starts at $599, but a souped up version on Amazon is $1369. down from $1399. However, the unit I want, with all the extras, will sell for just under $2,100, so let's see if I can't get a better price from Apple on Black Friday. External solid state drivesIf you buy one thing on this list, make it the Samsung T7 Shield SSD drive. In the digital age, we're constantly running out of room, and way too many of us don't take the time to backup our photos physically, beyond limited online. The T7 drives are small, quiet (no moving parts) work wonderfully, and offer more room than ever. This same drive sold for $400 a year ago and is now on sale for $263 for a 4 terabyte model. Kondor Blue HubOn these pages some time ago I expressed a desire to buy a hub that would connect the power bank, a solid state drive and a microphone and lights to the iPhone. These little hubs are hard to find, but Kondor Blue's $90 hub, long in the works, finally started shipping. The USB-C Media Hub is truly just that: a piece of hardware with slots to connect the other devices. The issue is figuring out how to connect it to an iPhone, and how to connect the other devices as well while you're running and gunning. (Kondor Blue has NO documentation available and its customer service is woefully un-responsive.) In a nutshell, it needs several adapters to connect it and devices to the iPhone. Because of the limitations, I've hardly used it. Watch the video below to see how ridiculous it looks. Hobolite Mini LED. I bring this battery powered light with me out in the field for some extra help on night shots and love it. It's not overly bright, but it is brighter than my small LED. The price is $250 and I haven't seen it on sale. CablesWe spoke a few weeks ago about the issue of charging devices in hotel rooms, mostly with too few slots in the room for AC, and outdated charging devices that won't connect to current gear. All the usual suspects have Black Friday discounts, so if you're always struggling, now would be a good time to pick up multiple prong outlets and charging bricks from Anker, Neewer and the like. Greg mentioned buying a three-pronged charging cable—currently on sale for $10. Mike told me about this Anker outlet extender, which looks like the perfect accessory for all of our bags. I'm seeing two outlets and 3 openings for USB-C devices, the cable that works with most modern devices. It's selling for $11, down from $19. Don't forget you'll also need the right cables, depending upon which device you have—i.e., an older iPhone with Lightning (USB-C to Lightning) or USB-C to USB-C if you have a Galaxy, Pixel or iPhone 15 or 16. I recommend buying extras and leaving them in your suitcase, to be dedicated for travel. Have fun shopping everyone!In other news—Dish Network and DirecTV aren't merging afterall. DirecTV said it couldn't make the financials work. And like that, Dish's SlingTV announced it was raising prices, due to the never-ending price hikes from programmers. —What do MSNBC, CNBC, USA Network, E! and Oxygen have in common? They've all been dumped by owner Comcast, shifted into a new division for ailing and non growing cable channels. How MSNBC and CNBC will continue to interact with current sibling NBC News is a big question for the future. —The Department of Justice wants Google to shed its Chrome browser, thinking that Google uses it to coerce more people into using their search engine. Google does a lot of sneaky things, but I don't use Google Search because somebody made me. It gets better results than Microsoft's Bing. Period. Take away Chrome, and we'll still use Google, unless Chat GPT gets so good in the next year that we turn there instead. What do you think readers? Thanks as always for taking the time to read, watch and listen. What one device or accessory do you hope to pick up? Let me know in the comments.

I've been on the road now since 10/21, with a brief pit stop at home, and this I can tell you: hotels need to charge up. Through stays in Santa Fe, Taos, Flagstaff, Palm Desert, San Francisco and the California Gold Country hamlets of Murphy, Plymouth, Placerville and now, as I write this, Chico, we've seen cardless entrances to the room via a text message code, we've been welcomed with a personal greeting on the big screen TV, been e-mailed after our stay with online survey requests, but none of these are Guest First issues. What needs to be seriously addressed: charging contemporary devices. Figure the average traveler has at least two phones to contend with, a Watch or two, a laptop and maybe an iPad, and you see the problem. I happen to be a techhead who travels with extension cords, power strips and every conceivable cable you can dream of to charge multiple phones, microphones, GoPros, Insta360 cameras and two laptops (@ruthtalksfood is along for the ride, as always) but I know I'm an outlier. Still, we all start with the same issue: where to find available outlets for charging up. (Even with extension cords, you have to find a place to plug in!)That's always a challenge in an older B&B, but understandable. These places weren't built in a time when people like us traveled for overnight stays and power outlets were hidden behind giant poster beds and built-in bookshelves. Many lodging facilities have tried to upgrade their charging options, thankfully, with devices like the CubieMini which worked great in 2020. Many of the hotels and even the B&Bs have even installed lamps and radio with have built-in USB-A ports, to make it easier for us. And that's great. But the times, they have changed!Who uses USB-A anymore? Very few of us. All these hotel improvements are actually a good five years behind the times. Now it's all about USB-C, as the industry has settled on one universal connecting cable for seemingly everything. If I'm talking geektalk, know this: the old USB-A cable was the one with the thick silver tip and pin connectors on the bottom side. USB-C is the more streamlined, thinner cable, and both sides fit into your device port. Pretty much every device sold today uses USB-C for charging. I use USB-C to connect my iPhone 16, Samsung Galaxy S23, GoPro Hero 12, Insta360 X4, Rode Wireless Go microphones, iPad, AirPods, DJI Mini 4 Pro drone and Samsung T7 solid state drives. When I livestream, I plug a USB-C cable into my Sony EV-Z10 camera and then directly into one of my MacBook Pro slots (I have 3.) I also connect an iPhone, via USB-C to the Mac, so I can show the iPhone screen during the show. So in other words, hotels aren't helping us with all those USB-A slots. They're irrelevant. May I suggest some simple room upgrades:* Companies like Anker, Belkin and Neewer make multiple charging solutions for consumers. Why not think Guest First and install one of these devices in each room? The $39.99 Anker Charging Station has four available USB-C slots, plus, if you've got an old iPhone, there are 2 USB-A slots as well, plus 3 AC outlets. * I know many hotels, but not all, like to have alarm clocks in the room, and I've scoured Amazon looking for one with multiple USB-C ports. I've only found devices with one. Not much help. But it's a start! (This Sharp radio has both a USB-C and A port.)* How about wireless charging solutions? Many products use the Qi wireless system to power up, and Apple has the MagSafe solution. A plugged in MagSafe adapter would be fantastic. If you have an old iPhone like the X or 11, you have a cable with a USB-A on one side, and the old Lightning on the other side. Apple stopped selling iPhones with Lightning with 2023's 15 series, while many older iPads, AirPods and Watches still have it. Meanwhile, with holiday travel coming up, it's doubtful all the hotel chains will have read this edition and decidedto quickly upgrade. So here's my tips on what not to leave home without. —If you have an old iPhone, buy one of these $10 USB-A to Lightning cables and throw it in your suitcase. —If you have a modern iPhone, Galaxy or any other device, pick up a USB-A to USB-C cable. This is the one that will fit in the hotel chargers. Anker sells a two-pack for $9. —For the utmost in versatility,, how about a multi-use cable, which plugs into the hotel USB-A port, but has extensions for both Lightning and USB-C. I found one on Amazon for just $6. Or, just buy a few USB-C to A adapters to put over your existing cables. They sell for under $10. As noted, I have a seperate cable bag that I bring along on road trips. For plane rides, I have a few dedicated cables that live in my suitcase, and they plug into multiple outlet chargers like this one from Anker which sells for $17. Have I missed your favorite cable solution? Let me hear from you in the comments. In other news: Freevee no moreFirst it was IMDB TV, Amazon's home for ad-supported TV and movies. Then, the company decided a name change was in order, and altered it to the silly sounding Freevee in April 2022. Now, Freevee is history. The programming will be woven into the existing Amazon Prime Video offerings, Amazon says, although I'm skeptical that the huge library of old stuff will make it in. The reason for the change: Amazon started putting adds in its Prime offerings, so there was no need to have two ad-supported channels. New Final Cut Pro 11In 2011, Apple introduced Final Cut Pro X, a new imagining of video editing software that looked like iMovie, but was way more full-featured. Many editors complained that it was dumbed down, but I loved it. It changed my life, offering a faster, easier to use program that I have used every day since. (And I'm not kidding.)All these years later, Apple now has an update, with Final Cut Pro 11. The key features include the ability to add captions to your project automatically, and use AI masking to remove backgrounds from the video and isolate the person, like we can do on the iPhone. The cost is $299, but existing users get the upgrade for free. You Never Know Who You'll Meet in Placerville There is a fabulous restaurant on Main Street in Placerville, right next to the Hangman's Tree, (not kidding) named Franny's Farm Table. Erica Cookson is the owner, and as I uttered one word to her, she recognized my voice, even though we had never met. It's a fun story, and she tells it in the video below, which is directed to our friend Mark Thompson, who hosts a popular show on YouTube. I'll have more to show and tell you about the Gold Rush Country of California in the coming weeks with a new full-length Photowalks episode. So stay tuned!Thanks as always for reading, watching and listening. Jeff Get full access to Jefferson Graham's PhotowalksTV newsletter - Tech & Travel at www.photowalkstv.com/subscribe
This week Apple introduced several of it's new “Apple Intelligence” A.I. features that were touted in June, but finally made it to phones at the tail end of October. The most interesting, and the one that will take AI photo edits mainstream to the masses is “Clean up,” the ability to erase people and distracting objects from your photos, just like you would do with a pencil and paper. However, it's only available to people who have updated their iOS 18 iPhone software and have the iPhone 15 Pro or 16 series phones. So even if you don't have one of these phones, odds are that if you're an iPhone user, you will be upgrading at some point and getting this feature and more in the coming years. Similar tools have been available from Adobe, but at a monthly subscription cost that starts at $9.99 for Photoshop, or Google, via Android phones and the Google Photos app, which has had a confusing rollout. Plus, the Google tools aren't as easy to use and as effective. I've been vocal in my distaste for AI tools from Google that put things easily into photos that were never there in the first place. You could argue that the photo above where I ditched the volleyball net breaks the rule of bending reality into something that's not photography, and you'd be right. But I've been removing distractions like power lines and garbage cans from photos for years, just as so many other photographers have. But it used to be a time-consuming task, one made way easier by Adobe's upgrade of “Generative Fill” in Photoshop in 2023. And now, thanks to Apple, it's even simpler, more effective and available to the masses for free. Reader beware: Sometimes you can get rid of the person in the shot, but not their pesky shadow!How Apple Intelligence Clean Up worksTake the photo, open it up in Apple Photos on your phone, (late models iPad with the A17 chip, and M1 Macs with Sequoia installed) and click Edit. There you will see a new tab added to select the Clean Up feature. Put your finger over the objects you want to get rid of, and watch them disappear. If you don't get it right, try again until you do. Most times it works really well—but when I tried to get rid of a post-Halloween skeleton sitting on a beach chair, all those bones were too much for the A.I. I didn't undertake a complete Photoshop vs. Apple Intelligence test, but Petapixel, the online website that covers photography did, and the results favored the new player. For Android fans, if you haven't already, check out the Magic Eraser in Google Photos. When I said the rollout was confusing, here's why. First it was only available for Android users, then it was brought to the iPhone as well, but only if you subscribed to Google One, Google's backup subscription program. However, in April, 2024 it opened it up to everyone. The process is similar: open photo, select tools, look for Magic Eraser and then erase the person or object with your finger. Have fun playing around and let me know your thoughts. New MacsApple also introduced several new, more powerful Mac computers this week. The headline was that they were equipped with “Apple Intelligence” those silly e-mail summaries, professional writing cleanup and more chatty and smarter (supposedly) Siri. Forget about it! What I'm interested is the extra power! The revamped Mac Mini and new iMacs come with the M4 processing chip, which is a big boost from the M1 on the MacBook Pro I bought in 2021 for $2,000. The Mini even has a M4 Pro chip, which is said to be even faster. I use my laptop even more than the phone, a good 10 hours daily, every day of the week, mostly processing photos and editing videos—as well as writing. And it's showing signs of age. So I'll be buying a new one—interesting that the tiny Mini, which appears to be about half the size of the previous model is more powerful than the giant iMac with a 24 inch screen, so it looks like that will be the purchase for me, boosted with 1 Terabyte of storage. Plus a trackpad, keyboard and monitor. ICYMI, here are the specs:Apple's new iMac starts at $1,299, but clocks in at $2,149 once I add the upgrades of extra RAM and storage, plus a Trackpad. The Mini, which again has the M4 Pro chip, which Apple says is faster than the regular M4 chip, starts at $999 for this edition and creeps up to $1,600 with my extra storage, trackpad and keyboard add-ons. I also will need a monitor, which I haven't bought in years, but per Best Buy is in the $100 to $200 range. I'll let you know how it goes. Readers, which, if any, excites you?ChatGPT Search vs. Google. This week, ChatGPT evolved again by offering a chatty A.I. search function that's surprisingly competitive with Google. I did several tests, and most of what I saw was pretty great. But it's not a Google killer, as I saw suggested by Tom's Guide. Not by a mile. For instance, let's start with the link I just placed above. I typed “ChatGPT search vs. Google Tom's Guide” into both, and only Google could provide the link. I asked both what time Photowalks will air on Scripps News Saturday and both got it right, (thank you) at 8 p.m. ET. But only Google could tell me which episode is scheduled (Oregon Coast.)When is that new Tom Hanks movie opening? (It already did, ChatGPT told me. Google didn't seem to know.) Is it playing near me? Here only Google could provide the actual theaters. ChatGPT gave me links to national movie chains and told me to look it up myself. For tips on when to visit Death Valley, California, and where to stay, ChatGPT had lots of good info, vs. Google which offered sponsored links. However, Google's Gemini, its ChatGPT AI competitor, stepped up, and offered relevant, non-sponsored links, with prices. But we know it won't remain that way, as Google will need to monetize Gemini. To try the search, you need to either pay for a ChatGPT subscription or add ChatGPT as a Chrome extension. Once you do that, ChatGPT replaces Google as your default search engine. That was good for a lark on a Friday afternoon, but trust me, I don't think you'll last a few hours with it, now. The chat is great, but the links we're looking for are hard to come by. By the time I finish this sentence, I'm going to delete it. Your thoughts?Thank you Sam!New paid sub Sam signed up this week, with a really nice note.

(This newsletter is sponsored by me, alerting you about the three mobile photography video courses I have available: beginning iPhone, iPhone 16 and Google Pixel. http://www.jeffersongraham.com/courses)You gotta love a photography application that calls itself the “Anti-AI” app. Halide has my name written all over it. The app has actually been around for several years, since 2017, but recently added a new feature called “Process Zero,” which lets us photograph things the way we actually see them, as opposed to how we'd like to remember the world. That means no fake blue skies, no artificially enhanced colors, no over-sharpened images. The app, which costs $19.99 yearly or $2.99 monthly, produces “zero computational photography to produce natural, film-like photos,” Halide says. Yay! (Sorry Galaxy and Pixel fans—Halide is only available for the iPhone and iPad.)Top, iPhone 16 Pro Apple fake blue sky, over sharpened. The bottom shot, again on the iPhone 16 Pro, is with the Halide app. All the photos shown here are unedited. My beef on the AI revolution is that it's great for looking up things, transcribing interviews, getting cars to drive automatically and for photo editing—but not for photo taking. I've written about how Google has taken a step towards ruining photography as we know it with the new Pixel 9 series of photos that offers features to add people to the photo, and do things that just aren't there. Google's “Add Me,” lets you take a photo of say, the two of you, and add a third person to the image after the fact, while the really controversial one is called Remagine, which turns ordinary photos into unlabeled generative AI artwork. Yuck. Apple has made a big deal of new AI features coming to the iPhone, but luckily they don't include altering major reality as part of the deal. However, what Apple, Samsung and Google have done is to take a basic camera and turn it into something that never produces an image that's out of focus, rarely too dark or light, with computational skills. The phone cameras take 9 images every time you click the shutter and merges them into one master photo with few flaws. As the Verge noted in an iPhone review about Halide: “If you're one of the many people who think that iPhone photos look overprocessed lately, then this is the feature for you.”The New Yorker, of all places, did a feature on Halide this week that you should check out. When's the last time the New Yorker did a piece on an app? Just wondering. “Process Zero has made me enjoy taking photos with my phone again, because I don't feel like I'm constantly fighting against algorithmic editing that I can't control or predict,” writes the author Kyle Chayka in the New Yorker. Halide notes that turning off the auto features has tradeoffs. It admits that it can't handle low light well and cannot access some features of the iPhone, notably the 2x zoom feature that crops a portion of the 48 megapixel sensor to “zoom” in and get closer. Top, iPhone, with enhanced orange and flag, bottom shot is with Halide. I've included here many examples of Apple vs. Halide, so you can see for yourself. You may prefer the Apple approach, which has its place—in many of these shots, the extra color is nice to have, but as a rule, I'd rather have the option to add those looks myself in editing afterwards, and have a cleaner image to play with. Top: Apple Photos shot, bottom via the Halide app. You can see how the colors are actually crisper in the Halide photo, minus the fake darkened sky. If you have the new iPhone 16, you might have heard about the “Camera Control” button on the side of the phone which lets you click to open the camera, without having to use FaceID. The button can be programmed to make Halide the default camera. Meanwhile, let me tell you more about the Halide app. It's incredibly simple. At the top of the screen you click the drop-down menu to select “Process Zero” or “Apple Processed” photos. Another tool lets you select Auto or Manual exposure, which you can tweak by pressing down on the screen and making the image lighter or darker. At the bottom of the app, you choose which lens you want to use, .5, 1x or 5x, the ability to use the Portrait Mode to blur the background and selfie mode. Hidden after a swipe is the flash, timer, white balance and settings, where you can choose to photograph in the traditional JPG, the HEIC smaller file, or larger RAW. Again, you may prefer the auto features, and that's fine, but if you want to go back to the days where a photo was a photo, without enhancement that can't be tweaked, you should check out Halide. NewsbytesInstafamous: If you want to be seen on Instagram, but don't feel like making a highly produced short Reels video, Instagram announced this week that Carousels and photos with music now can show up in the Reels tab too, which it favors over basic photo posts. Get busy creators!Amazon Stinks: When the company announced that it was adding adverts to its Prime Video offerings, unless we paid a fee, it said it would offer limited ads and not be obnoxious. Well, that didn't last very long. This week Amazon said it will start increasing the ad load in the coming year. Surprise, surprise!Speaking of AI editing: Software giant Adobe announced several new photo editing tools at its MAX conference in Miami, including the ability generate seconds of video footage from a text prompt in its Premiere Pro video editing program, and new tools for Lightroom Mobile. Here you can automatically apply effects for retouching backgrounds, teeth, eyes, skin, and more.Let's go to Japan!On tonight's episode of Photowalks on Scripps, we visit the Kansai region of Japan, including stops to Japan's “Kitchen” of Osaka, the street food capital of the country, and the lively port city of Kobe. The show airs at 8 p.m. ET on Scripps News. Mobile Photography on FlipboardI have a long-standing relationship with the digital social magazine Flipboard, one of the great apps for getting a curated look at things of interest. I'm currently the photographer in residence there for the fall—and the great Mia Q just posted a nice interview with me on Flipboard that you might enjoy!Record Store DaysI got such great response to last Sunday's bonus edition, talking about my days working as a clerk at a used record store in Berkeley at age 20, and all the important life lessons I learned at that time. But I broke the format of this newsletter, with nothing about tech, travel or photography in the story. Should I continue with my tale, I asked readers. “I'm loving learning the back story,” commented Josh. “I love reading about your adventures,” said Brian. “More, more, more Jeff” requested Jolene. Thank you! So by popular demand, I have part 3 of my personal history all cued up and ready for you in tomorrow's edition. Thanks so much for the interest!And as always, thanks again for taking the time to read, watch and listen!Jeff Get full access to Jefferson Graham's PhotowalksTV newsletter - Tech & Travel at www.photowalkstv.com/subscribe

I picked up DJI's new $200 Neo drone this week, and parents, you heard it here first, this is the holiday gift for kids and young-at-heart parents. Nothing else comes close. DJI is the longtime leader in making “flying cameras,” of all sizes and price points. I bought my latest, the DJI Mini 4 Pro for $1,000 last year after the ocean ate my Mavic Air 2S. When I saw the specs for this new one, I had to add it to the collection. Just $200 for a drone? One that flies in the air and records 4K content? Yes, indeedy. The trick is that unlike other drones, which require being connected to a controller with joysticks to operate it, the Neo takes off all by itself, based on six pre-programmed modes of operation. The big calling card is the “Follow” mode, which takes after you as you walk down the street, go running, perhaps cycling, skating, you name it. Here's how it works:* Turn on the drone and connect it to the smartphone app. * Choose one of the six flying modes. (They include the Follow Mode and short flights through the air called Rocket, Dronie and Circle.)* Hold the drone in front of your face in your hand, wait for the countdown and then the drone takes off and goes into the air. When you're ready for it to come back down, hold up your palm so the camera sees it, and it lands in your hand. (Watch the video above and see for yourself.)Quibbis: * It can be hard to connect the drone to the app, and have it be recognized. Expect to try it a few times. * Because you're not able to truly control the drone manually, it is likely to crash. Yup, I've already crashed twice, but because it's covered with propeller guards, you're better protected than with the bigger, adult drones. * You won't be to soar down the coast, or go up in the air hundreds of feet like other drones, due to the automatic program modes of the system. But then again, it's only $200. For $289, there's a “combo” package, with two extra batteries, and that's highly recommended as these batteries only last about 18 minutes or so. (Buyer beware: the sample footage shown on the DJI site is something to aspire to, with extra gear and accessories that don't come with the Neo package most of us will be buying.)A word from our sponsorWant to level up your phone photography skills? I've got three video courses available for you online: beginner iPhone photography, all about the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro and the Google Pixel. Check them out at http://www.jeffersongraham.com/coursesElon's RobotsI'm no fan of Elon Musk and his disinformation machine that used to be Twitter, but I've got to admit, his Thursday evening event was pretty spectacular, even if it was fantasyland. He introduced a new self-driving car, a $30,000 two-seater Robotaxi that he claims would wheel people around town by an incredibly optimistic 2027—just like Waymo and Cruise cars have been doing in small tests for the last few years, to limited success. (Good luck cutting through government red tape for approvals on this one in 2 and a half years.) But from what I could see on the livestream presentation, the audience really ate up his army of human like Optimus robots which walked around and handed out swag to attendees. Musk said he was using the same technology from Tesla cars to build the robots, which he predicted would cost $20,000 to $30,000 to purchase and could do all sorts of things. Try babysitting, dog walking, clean the house and just be a companion. “It will be the biggest product ever, of any kind,” he boasted. Maybe. But not so fast. I've been around, and I have seen so many robot announcements, it's hard to keep up. They make good copy, but rarely succeed. Amazon introduced a consumer robot named Astro in 2021 “by invitation only,” and even though I applied, I still haven't been accepted 3 years later. It could have something to do with the fact that the product wasn't ready for prime time and still isn't. Musk has a habit of announcing things that get delayed or not happen at all. In 2016, he predicted at an industry conference that trips for humans to Mars would be provided by his company, beginning in 2024—for arrival in 2025, "if things go according to plan.”They didn't. Musk said the Robotaxis will go into production by 2026, or possibly 2027. Great idea. I hope self-driving cars do become a reality. One day. My guess is it's 30, 40 years away, if not more. Care to chime in?TikTok clockThe U.S. Congress voted to ban the uber-popular Chinese owned TikTok app from the U.S. and president Joe Biden signed the bill into law, giving it a deadline of January 19 to shut down. My pal Jim Louderback created a countdown clock website showing we have less than 99 days before TikTik goes away. I know you are all skeptical readers—who believes we'll be living without TikTok by January 20th, on inauguration day? Sorry, this thing is just too popular to go away. A deal will be made, of some kind. Sizzling My mom asked me the other night: “What's a sizzle reel?” Well, per ChatGPT, it's a “short, compelling video that showcases highlights of a project, concept, or talent.” She asked because I had just finished my latest "reel,” a two-minute best of Photowalks, meant to showcase what the series is all about, what you'll see on it, illustrated with 72 photos and videos in 120 seconds. We visit the world's most photographable places, go on a virtual photowalk and I offer tips on how to get pro-level vacation photos on each episode. That's the gist. I had great assistance finishing the reel by the one and only Sean Fujiwara and longtime family friend Peter Hammersly, who I can't thank enough. If you have two extra minutes, please take a look and let me know what you think. I'm really proud of this one. Tonight on Scripps News, the second of the six-episode PhotowalksTV run airs at 8 p.m. ET, as we visit the exotic island of Sicily. If you can, please check it out.

Jefferson Graham is a Manhattan Beach, California based writer-photographer, educator, and the host/producer of the travel photography series "Photowalks with Jefferson Graham", which streams on YouTube, Tubi and the Roku Network. I first met Jefferson the same day I met Frederick Van Johnson. I drove out to watch him record his Talking Tech podcast, a show he did for USA TODAY when he was one of their tech columnists. His guests that day were Frederick and tech journalist Mark Gurman. Right away it was obvious that there was much more to Jefferson than just being a tech journalist and podcaster. His photography knowledge was front and center. Fast forward a good number of years and Jefferson is busier than ever. His popular PhotowalksTV newsletter marries tech/photo and travel in weekly installments. As an educator, he is an instructor and frequent speaker for the KelbyOne website (I have a discount code for a KelbyOne subscription on the Discount Codes Page). Jefferson has authored of nine books, including the recent Video Nation, a DIY Guide to Planning, Shooting and Sharing great Video, as well as tomes on infomercial king Ron Popeil, the late TV legend Aaron Spelling and a history of Sin City, Vegas: Live and In Person. He has written and/or photographed for a host of publications, including Rolling Stone, People, Us Weekly, the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register, Easy Reader, Esquire and TV Guide. A working photographer, a writer, a podcast host, a video creator, and a darn good guitarist - and that is just the start of knowing my friend Jefferson Graham. On PhotowalksTV he takes viewers to wonderful places, from Southern California to great locations like Dana Point Morro Bay, Cannon Beach, Oregon, Port Townsend, Washington, Madrid, Lisbon, Paris and even all the way to Tokyo. I even had the pleasure of hosting Jefferson for one of his Photowalks series in my home town in Southern CA a few years ago, and it was a blast. I was born and raised here, and yet I learned so much by doing the walk with him. Recently I saw a post Jefferson did, where he talked about using nothing but an iPhone, a few of them actually, for his photowalk in Paris. That connected with me, because years ago I decided that I didn't want to be "that dad" on family vacations that made everyone stop while I took photos. Starting way back with the iPhone 6, all I have taken on trips is my phone. Have there been times I wished I had a "Real Cameras"? Sure, but overall the experience has been great. I decided to invite Jefferson on to talk about the pros and cons of mobile photography, often called iPhoneography, even though you could use any phone. Join all around creative Jefferson Graham and me as we chat about using nothing but a phone as your camera while traveling, on this episode of Behind the Shot.

Butler specializes in fine art landscape photos of the American West, most notably, Zion National Park, and nearby Bryce, Grand Canyon and Death Valley N.P. as well. In our conversation, Butler talks about living and working in tiny Springdale, the town outside Zion, how he orchestrated some of his best photographs of the Narrows, Angel's Landing and other Zion icons and how he finds inspiration to keep photographing the same locations, year after year. See Butler's work at the Argoshots.com website, or visit the DeZion Gallery the next time you're in Springdale. This is a public episode.

Hey party people, there is a lot of celebrating going on this week! Happy inauguration week and welcome to our new subscribers! Today I launched a podcast! Podcast update: I finally jumped in and released the trailer and first episode of Great Pods: The Podcast. A podcast that compliments the newsletter with recommendations from guests explaining why they liked an episode or podcast. It's a little rough around the edges, but you have to start somewhere! On the first episode, I asked Jefferson Graham, former USA Today tech columnist with whom I collaborated at TuneIn, for our first guest episode recommendations clip - (under 3 minutes). It will include what he listened to this week and why he liked it. You'll be able to find the newsletter version of his recommendation below. Take a listen!Also, if you liked the newsletter or know someone that might enjoy it too, share it!On to my (our) picks this week…Podcast: Freakonomics RadioPublisher: Dubner Productions and StitcherThis year Freakonomics radio/podcast celebrates its 10 year anniversary. A spin-off of the popular book, it's garnered awards and downloads for its storytelling and reporting. “If you enjoy taking a fresh, data-driven look at what is happening in the world today this may be the podcast for you. The emphasis is generally on the United States but concepts and examples from around the world and history are incorporated to help the listener grapple with those trickiest of questions, the ones that begin with: Why?” - Robert Nease from Quill.inc. In that celebration, they are releasing 10 years of archives from behind their paywall on Stitcher and freakonomics.com. Their normal podcast release is available everywhere else. Have at it!About: Each week, Freakonomics Radio tells you things you always thought you knew (but didn't) and things you never thought you wanted to know (but do) — from the economics of sleep to how to become great at just about anything. Dubner speaks with Nobel laureates and provocateurs, intellectuals and entrepreneurs, and various other underachievers.The button above links to Spotify, Apple, Google, Breaker, Castro, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Castbox, and RadioPublicGuest Podcast Recommendation: Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal PodcastPublisher: StarburnsAnother thing worth celebrating this week is the launch of the Great Pods podcast. As mentioned in the intro, this podcast and episode (Abbot and Costello) is a recommendation from Jefferson Graham. Listen to his audio recommendation above. As always, I like to supplement a recommendation with a review to assist in your decision to listen. Marc Hershon from Huff Post writes, “With all of the rampant fun that this episode brings, my favorite touchstone throughout is the syncopated rhythm of Gottfried's relentless cackle and Black's throaty chortle. Those sounds alone are enough to pull laughs out of your piehole.”I saw that Gilbert has episodes with Bob Costas and Neil Degrasse Tyson. I genuinely want to know what Gilbert and his signature cackle discuss with them.The episode button above links to Spotify, Apple, and GoogleThe button above links to Spotify, Apple, Google, Breaker, Castro, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Castbox, and RadioPublicJefferson Graham, the former USA TODAY tech columnist, is now launching a new travel video series on Amazon.

Jefferson Graham (http://www.jeffersongraham.net) and Laguna Beach photographer Jan Schrieber (http://www.graphicmuse.com) discuss their recent Photowalk to Old Town Orange on the latest edition of the Photowalks podcast. Orange is a small city of 140,000 people in the heart of Orange County, 45 minutes or so from downtown Los Angeles (in good traffic) and 5 minutes from Disneyland. Orange shares a lot in common with Disneyland, in that both offer nostalgic looks at a life once lived, way back yonder, 100 years or so, but with a big difference. It costs $100 to get into Main Street, USA and the admission price for Orange is zero. It's a fun place for visiting antique stores, art galleries and fun restaurants, as well as a terrific backdrop for a photo shoot, as Jeff and Jan explain on the podcast. Listen in to their conversation--which starts in the studio and ends at Watson's Soda Fountain, the oldest fountain in California, over grilled cheese, tater tots, Vanilla milk shakes and a strawberry salad.

Vi pratar också om hur Photowalks kan fungera som pedagogik i ett led att bli en bättre bildberättare. Dessutom är det premiär för Rule of Thirds fotoskola och första delen handlar om slutartid. Välkommen!

This week we have a very special guest on the show that doesn't really need a lot of introduction, because pretty much everybody knows Scott Kelby.For those few who still don't, we'll just say that Scott is the President and CEO of KelbyOne (the online educational community for creative people); the editor and publisher of Photoshop User Magazine; Conference Technical Chair for the Photoshop World Conference & Expo; Host of the influential weekly photography talk show “The Grid;” Founder of the annual “Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk” (the world’s largest social photography event); Training Director and lead instructor for KelbyOne Live Seminars, and author of a string of bestselling books.Both Ralph and Ugo were speakers at the recent 2018 Out of Chicago Photography Conference, where Scott was the very entertaining keynote speaker, and it was there that we met and that we asked Scott to be a guest on the podcast. He graciously accepted and here is the recording of that interview.His keynote was titled The Stuff They Don't Tell You As A Photographer. While we can't hope to fit all of the things the don't tell you in the space of one hour, we nevertheless asked Scott to talk about a few of them. We talked about developing a personal style, finding interesting subjects, post-processing and more.We also spent some time discussing the upcoming World Wide Photo Walk event that Scott started and that is now in its 11th year. If you've never attended a photo walk, we recommend you check out the WWPW website and join one in your neighborhood. It's a lot of fun, you make new friends, and you can also contribute to a worthwhile cause.LinksMaria Marie on InstagramWorld Wide Photo WalkKelbyOneScott Kelby on TwitterScott Kelby on InstagramScott Kelby on FacebookPhoto Enrichment: Costa Rica ExplorerBetter Living Through Photography See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Nachdem Steffi und Chris die letzten beiden Folgen der Weiterbildung als Fotograf gewidmet haben, dreht sich in dieser kleinen Podcast-Serie alles um den Einstieg in die Fotografie. Wir erklären mal ein paar grundlegende Begriffe wie Blende, ISO und Verschlusszeit, also typische Fragen, die immer wieder auf unseren Photowalks gestellt werden. Wir versuchen mit möglichst einfachen Worten die Technik etwas transparenter zu machen und erklären wie die ersten Schritte im neuen Fotohobby nicht in Frustration enden. Die Podcast-Serie wird drei Folgen umfassen. In der heuten Folge besprechen wir: Das Programmwahlrad und seine Möglichkeiten Was ist die Blende? Was ist ISO? Was ist eine Verschluss und wie funktioniert die Verschlusszeit? Welche Effekte haben ISO, Blende und Verschlusszeit? Was kann man im manuellen Modus besser als in den Automatikprogrammen? Was ist ein RAW und was bringt mir das Format? Photowalks: Eine perfekte Möglichkeit Fragen zu stellen, spannende Motive und neue Freunde zu finden. Das Hobby macht Spaß und ihr wollt euch weiterentwickeln?! Dann sind Workshops genau das Richtige für euch. Hausaufgabe: Mit dieser kleinen Aufgabe wollen wir euch motivieren, mal ein paar Fotos zu schießen. Macht mit eurer Kamera mal ein Foto einer Blume oder Pflanze und schickt uns das Ergebnis zu Bildbesprechung an redaktion@fotowalker.de oder taggt eure Bilder bei Instagramm unter #herzundblende #fotowalker. Ihr könnt bestimmen, ob ihr die Bildbesprechung lieber anonym per Mail oder im Podcast bekommen wollt. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fotowalker-audiocast/message

We are SO excited for WPPI next week (well, Ashley & Julie are... Kate ended up bailing because of mom reasons) and we're brainstorming ways to get the most out of it! We're excited to hopefully meet some listeners, and there are some very cool PhotoSpark plans in the works! We thought this would be a perfect time to have Anne Simone & Kayla Harrison on the podcast! These two work for Shoot Proof; Anne is a content developer & Kayla is a community builder, and they recently collaborated on an awesome blog post all about getting the most out of photography trade shows and conventions. We chatted even more in-depth with them on the show... check out our three favorite tips below! Key Takeaways: Figure out your priorities. When thinking about photography trade shows and conventions, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all the things to do, people to see, and fun stuff to buy. Take the time to put together a top three list. You can actually do a lot of these (top three products to purchase, top three classes to attend, top three people to meet, etc) but start with one. What are the THREE things you most want to get out of the convention. Think about purchases, speakers, and experiences. Once you have your top three list figured out, you can fill in the rest of your time & feel comfortable knowing that your three biggest priorities will be met. This will help you relax once you're there & have fun too! Prep yourself before you go. While it's pretty obvious that you'll want to look at the class list before you go and decide exactly what classes and lectures you want to attend, not everyone does the same for the trade show! The WPPI trade show is HUGE and it's easy to get distracted from your main goals and/or totally lost! It's a great idea to do some research on what vendors will be present beforehand, and once you get there, Kayla & Anne suggest doing a complete walk of the floor before committing to anything. This way you know all the deals that exist & you're able to make the right decisions for your business. Before you even GET to WPPI, it's a good idea to have a list of priorities. What exactly do you NEED for your business? Once that's purchased, you can move on to things you might WANT and fun gadgets/gear that you have money left for. Step out of your comfort zone. Something we chatted about a little before the show is how easy it is to go to WPPI and only talk/hang out with the photographer friends you already know. While this is fun, it isn't the best way to take advantage of your time there. We suggest setting up lots of dinners, coffee dates, happy hour dates, etc with people you don't already know & can form new connections with! Apart from the networking aspect, WPPI has a LOT of other opportunities for connections with new people! Photo Walks are a great way to shoot new material, practice techniques, and learn from the best. By stepping out of your comfort zone, you can learn new skills and meet new people that you might be able to do business with or get business from in the future! Tune in to our episode to hear even more tips on how to get the most out of photography trade shows and conventions! It was a pleasure chatting with Anne & Kayla and we hope you liked it! Hit us up on Facebook and let us know if you're going to WPPI! Looking forward to meeting some of you there!

Last week, I was one of more than 21,000 professional photographers, photography enthusiasts, filmmakers, students and educators from around the world who attended PhotoPlus Expo in New York City. PhotoPlus features over 100 educational seminars, Photo Walks and Master Classes, and over 225 exhibitors displaying thousands of the latest products and services to touch, try and compare. I use the trip as my opportunity to get caught up on the trends in the photography industry and speak directly to the manufacturers about their products and plans. This year, I found five areas that are noteworthy for us. Listen to the podcast
