Hi bro. What is the best lighting for RUclips video shooting under $300 from Amazon? If possible, what kind of lighting did you use in this video? Thank you."
It's nice to see Jack and Emily getting the chance to make something special and seen. I've gone through the stages and now just make pretty pictures for myself.

Thanks for hosting this!
Thanks for this podcast 😊🙈
Love the podcast Scott. Will these be coming back to the Apple Podcasts app? Have only seen 1 or 2 on there from Season 2, much more availability for me to tune in there than on RUclips. Thanks for the hard work and excellent show!
Eventually. We have a backlog of rendering atm and haven’t had the change to pull the audio files out
Gotta jam but wanted to thank you both for being awesome. Loved this conversation. I started my product photography business a year ago and these conversations keep me motivated!
Cheers from California!

That is awesome!
Any chance of getting the Leader in for a chat?
I LOVE people who buy a pricy camera figuring they'll be 'I'm-a-photographer', often on a vacation, or my fav, a cruise, oh yes, to the disappearing Arctic, wait Antarctic. Few months later I'm looking at a Z9 for 3K less than new with 930 shots on it, to replace my 600K shutter count D4 with the rubber peeling off. Ta very much.
I've only bought but one or two new camera bodies in 40 years. I've only ever bought one new in box lens. Saved me horrendous amounts of money on my business' bottom line. I've picked up $7,000 lenses for $1000 that someone used once, and a type of lenses I use all the time. I never buy anything unless I need it and will use it. If I need a piece of kit that I'll only use once or twice, I'll rent it.
we had a fuji s6500fd that we purchased secondhand to take photos with on our honeymoon in 2016 and we never took it out of the suitcase, then in January 2019 I came across a milkyway nightscape image from a guy who turned out to be a local in my town and I said I want to do that which made me break out the s6500fd and learn. I used that for the first 5 months, then purchased my current set up
Rockwell is an ENGINEER by training, and was NEVER a real commercial photographer, dependent upon real clients. Ken is still fixated on the 1970’s SATURATED colors…as well as NEON signage in particular. Or palm fronds.
He KNOWS tech….he just doesn’t know that he’s not a very good photographer, which is why he excelled at pioneering reviews and AFFILIATE LINKS. And that beget millions. Literally.
Was it Ken Rockwell you were trying to remember?
YES
@@TinHouseStudioUK Well, you were a bit unfair in my opinion. If you take Ken Rockwell's reviews (mostly analog stuff, if I remember correctly) with a grain of salt (or rather two or three ;-)), it isn't bad if you're into old gear (and some of the more technical information is quite useful and hard to come by). Just don't take him too seriously - he's not always spot on …
@@TinHouseStudioUK we knew it as soon as his site was mentioned
@@c.augustin I agree with you,. I used Ken Rockwell's page a lot -- also with 2-3 grain of salt, and ignoring some views -- but I know no other such complete review page for (primary) Nikon gear. Especially manual lenses (AI/AIS) and some AF for F mount. For lens data and additional tech info I use different resources.
The good thing for me is that he is on the market since so long time.
For my analog medium / large and (ramping) ultra large format stuff, I wished, that there also a kind of "Ken" exists. You buy primary by old catalog/brochure/datasheet/list/...
Latest/Especially with everything bigger than large format or exotic lenses, your are "alone" to find out what existed and is lens-coverage-wise usable and not out of any budget limits in today's prices (Side note: (When you translate historic prices in today's you get still humble).
Sometimes you have just the info that somebody claimed in some forum 20 years ago, that a certain lens covers xxx cm diameter at infinity.
My direction was I would see a scene or image and think I would like to capture this as an image.
When your guests talk about their work -- TT vids, first ad campaign... -- why don't you show us a clip or an inset image?
Preface: I'm not like you Scott a commercial photographer looking for clients .
Even more different: For 27 years of my day job to work within SW industry companies.
For a while and a portion of jobs was to do business operations incl. running a SW/HW lab with critical (hard to get/repair) gear..

I disagree with you on the need of backup gear (camera/lens/..) topic.
When a gear is critical, you need to consider the costs and income losses (waste of time,...) when you have no backup (factored with likeliness).
This is for sure no problem, as long your "backup" is in the rental or sale house down the street and you do not work outside business hours.
But for e.g. your Mamiya lenses: Already sending somebody to London to pick up a replacement cost you likely more than the lens itself -- And this just for one of your test shoots, when you are blocked..
Worse with that example; As such Mamiya lenses might be at moment not on the used market and you have to wait days/weeks/.... what do you do in such case ? Insurance coverage ?
To be honest, despite I like & agree (!) with very most of your spending/budget approaches, I disagree on those few critical gear items for 'normal' issues outside a disaster recovery (flooding/burning/..)
Or in other words and this is different (!) for a beginner, a hobiest, etc.: You have so much money throughput due to monthly costs, that a second set of your primary gear (the lenses, the Cambo, the Fuji) sound for me more than reasonable. With lights, computers, monitors,... you have enough backup/coverage already
/ My 5 cents
PS: Your videos belong to the best what is for photography (aside beginner audience) on the YT market !!
Two hours? Sorry!
Love your videos. However it’s nearly impossible for most to save a years worth of salary in todays economic climate.
Yeah it’s not easy. It’s not the route I took but I paid for it big time for many many years.
@ i fully understand. Freelancing of any kind has higher highs but much lower lows, hence your multiple streams strategy.
