Retail camera stores in America are going thru a really rough time right now. Competition from online suppliers is tough, more women are buying photo gear, marketing and advertising methods are changing, and that’s really only the beginning. As a long time seminar presenter, Will Crockett has worked with photo retail specialty stores for [...]
While there is no “must” setting for shutter speed when shooting video, there are practical limits. Action shooters are typically shooting shutter speeds for stills that are too fast for making good video. So with sincere thanks to Coach Crockett for helping us understand that a range of shutter speeds work and provide quality, interesting [...]
Hi Folks! Scott Giorgini here. I’m a Hybrid Hero who has decades of experience in radio and television production, and right now I’d like to focus on the Secret Ingredient that cam make or break your Hybrid eProducts. Question: What is one of the most important, yet most overlooked, components of any Hybrid eProduct? As [...]
