WARNING: this is a very visual episode that I highly suggest you watch the video if you can!!!
 
No that was not a massive green screen, we were truly filming RAWtalk on the edge of the Grand Canyon thanks to AdventureDriven.com.  Can you believe how amazing it looks.  We filmed this weeks show with two Canon C300’s, a 5D Mark III, GoPro and DJI Phantom 3 PRO for the arial shots.
 
This weeks sponsor so happens to be a LIFE SAVER for shooting landscape photos.  HOYA supplied me with all the filters I needed to help make my pictures go BOOOOOOMMMM at the Grand Canyon.  Having their circular polarizers on my lenses helped pump up the sky as well as the color in my images.  Just think how amazing the world looks when you where polarized sunglasses.  Now add that in front of your camera lenses and you have fantastically vibrant photos.  Here is a link to the exact CP I used form HOYA http://www.hoyafilter.com/hoya/products/hdfilters/hdfiltercirpl/
 
As you can tell this weeks show took us to an amazing place.  We had to change up the show slightly for obvious reasons but we cranked through photo news which included two main but very long stories.  One involves Anthony Mazur a 16 year old High School student and the other Richard Prince who took peoples Instagram Photos and sold them for upwards of $100,000.

We had a ton of gear out with us but this weeks Gear of the Week was the Hoya Filters and step down rings which were a life saver.  Also JOBY sent us car mounts for our GoPro’s which turned out to be freaking amazing.  We had them attached to our vehicles in so many situations and they handled the harsh environment with flying colors.
