Daily FRO 044: I BLEW IT, Learn From My ...

About this episode

This is the Daily FRO for March 10th 2018.

Today I took proposal photos of my friend Dave Leno and I blew it.  The moments captured are spot on but I blew the proper settings for the situation I was in.

We were on the set of 6 ABC a news station here in Philly.  There was the wall of tv monitors and that's where the will you marry would be plastered.  Well, I got a ton of flicker from those screens in my images. 

I even did test shots prior to them arriving and I just missed it in my test shots, I didn't notice it.  My shutter speed was much too high and thus captured the flickering of the screen.  

You can learn form my mistake, if you're ever in a situation where you need to shoot something with monitors, make sure your shutter speed is slower to compensate.
