Nick & Darin have Brian McGuckin from the Thoughts on Photography Podcast on the show today to talk about gear needed for a large family shoot. The three discuss their lessons learned & offer insight on a photography related product.
What's in this episode:
- Jeff Harmon from the Photo Taco Podcast give Brian, Darin, & Nick a hypothetical shoot & asks what gear we would use to pull it off.
- Is it better to shoot large groups up close & wide; or is it better to shoot tight standing further away?
- Brian chases children around & Darin is shady for these types of shots.
- Nick learns the hard way about calendar syncing. – This is not just something on Google Calendars. iCalendar users beware as well!
