Hi folks! We’re back with Episode 3 of Raw Podcast! Thanks for joining us!
This week our main topic of conversation is surrounding destination weddings. The lust for, the meh’ness towards them, the pros, cons and a few other bits and pieces. Paul is just back from Rome after shooting a wedding there so he comes with some good first hand experience and a tan.
Aside from that we start off with a discussion about Instagram Stories – after all, it’s this week’s biggest …story. story… instagram stor.i.e… ah forget it. Anyway – we discuss that as well as Snapchat and a whole new app that Paul has developed called Slapchat – fascinating stuff.
We also did a little bit of a Q&A in response to a few questions that you good people posed to us via my instagram. But we received another great question on Soundcloud from Rockabillyslim asking “Are you using the dedicated flash unit that comes with it or does it work with other speedlights with full ettl. The flash seems quite small so just wondering about the throw say if your trying to light larger areas.”
In response to that I mention what I’m using and also a couple of articles.
Best Speedlight Flash Options for Fujifilm Mirrorless Cameras – http://improvephotography.com/34962/best-flash-for-fuji/
Kevin Mullins Article – How I Fell In Love With Flash – http://f16.click/gear/neewer-tt850-fuji-x100t.html
Here is the equipment that I’m using.
Yongnuo Flash Speedlite YN560-III – http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DRVC1I8
Great flash but no ettl.
Yongnuo RF-602 Wireless Flash Trigger – http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AB7NN9W
It says this is for Nikon but it works perfectly with the Fuji system.
I also have these ones but these are the ones I mentioned in the podcast as being a bit rubbish.

Hey Dave and Paul,
Looking to get a gopro for our South Africa holidays!!! Any suggestions?
Nothing too expensive, something mid range maybe?
Justin
Dave here – Hey Justin! Don’t you worry, I’ll have all our basis covered for that trip. Cameras and drones at the ready my friend! 🙂
In al seriousness though, I was actually looking at Go-pro’s myself recently and was tempted by the Session cam. Really because it was waterproof (as in didn’t need any casing) and was a one button effort. But then I’m thinking would I miss the screen on the back etc. So I’d probably get the Silver. Mind you, it’s a heck of a lot of money for a gadget I’d probably use quite sparingly. Still, a trip to South Africa is worth recording right. So go all out! 🙂
