It’s been a long time in the making and the stars finally aligned to allow me to interview Trey Ratcliff right here in the loft.  Trey is one of the most well known photographers online and is most commonly associated with HDR photography (high dynamic range).  As man¥ of you know I have been very outspoken about not liking HDR in the past.  Most of this stems from seeing really bad HDR.  Trey on the other hand does HDR right and tries to share his methods with as many people as possible.  No that does not mean I will be doing HDR anytime soon.  But you can not deny the success and you have to give major credit where credit is due.  Check out the FULL Interview at 33:54
 
This weeks episode is brought to you by RODE microphones.  As you know we use the RODE broadcaster microphones each and every week.  RODE not only makes these high end mics but they have other extremely affordable shot gun, condensers, broadcast and even lavalier offerings.  If you entered the MyRodeReel.com competition RODE wanted me to let you know to keep an eye on your mailbox for a FREE microphone that will be showing up.  How cool is that, not only do they run a free contest but they end up sending every participant a FREE microphone.
