dojopodcastIt’s time once again to address some of the questions that have come in. We start off with Ramon Carcases’ question about posing different sized people and David throws out some ideas of using different lenses and poses while Kerry throws out some lighting ideas.

Brian Noah asks about shooting in locations such as Union Station in Los Angeles. Kerry talks about getting permits and David follows up with his stealth tactics for staying under the radar when shooting in public locations like this.

Tina Chapman wanted some tips on outdoor portraits using a single speedlite. Kerry talks about some lighting techniques and using high speed flash sync and David shares some bounce and flash techniques.

Finally Kerry shares a recent story about his hard drive in his laptop crashing to illustrate the importance of backing up your data all the time.

  • Thanks for answering my question and, Kerry, you pronounced my name perfectly. That's a rare occurrence, trust me. Thanks to both you and David for your hard work, it's greatly appreciated.

    Hey Kerry,

    The last time I was at your place, I asked you what you used for backup. I remember you said something about an auto backup program. What was the name of it again? And is it possible to set it up just to backup a certain folder (documents, Photos, etc.)

    For Windows I use a little utility from Microsoft called Robocopy. Its like XCopy on steroids. I then right a little batch script around it. For Mac, I have no clue. I am only just starting to use the Mac in production so I have just been saving stuff to my network drive that is backed up each night.
