what happened to the audience mic? That was such a good idea, thanks anyways!

[BHPhotoVideoProAudio]

@adslim9 We do use the audience mic on a case-by-case basis, but not every event calls for it. Thanks for watching.

he needs to explain the reason why its minimizing DOF is because your keeping the MIN, focusing distance and all other physical aspects of the lens the same, yet increasing the focal distance by whatever the teleconverter is. lets say a 500mm f4 lens with a 1.4x converter, so increasing focal distance changes DOF a lot, it will be much shallower, not only that, you will be able to shoot at 700mm and still have the same min, focusing distance as the 500mm and we all know how DOF is at MIN focus

Funny way to say that the flash does not affect a birds.

But I have never had a problem using flash and birds, I use a better beamer, sometimes the first flash will make the bird jump a little, but I have never had it fly off from a flash. now me moving closer, yes of course. usually after you take a few photos, its no different the bird will stop twitching and jumping.

You can't see half the gear he's talk about because it's in shadow.

I tested this in CS6, by starting with the same raw file and no adjustments. They were almost identical in size with PS being one or two KB's smaller - which is insignificant. When I added layers to the image, the TIFF grew much larger than the PSD and PS warned me that it would be larger by keeping the layers. With three layers, the sizes were 491MB - TIFF & 326MB - PSD. The more layers and the larger the TIFF. This is without any compression used. Each added layer was much worse with TIFF,

[SuperDashRendar]

I think he is wrong about the TIFF vs. PSD file size. TIFF files will be smaller.

It's easier to cut a steak with a knife than with a spoon. While I'm still the one cutting the steak, the proper tool makes getting the job done easier.

It'd be especially helpful in videos like this one, where the speaker fields questions from the audience . . . questions that the "main" mic doesn't pick up very well.

Excellent video thank you.
