Oh that is a GREAT lens! I'd have to think super hard to think of a more versatile lens than that one!

Thanks you so much!

Oh wow, you've been at it for a while now! What's something you'd like to hear us talk about on an episode?

Thanks so much! We really appreciate that. TN is and always will be home! I love the slower pace that you can find all over here in TN!

It is the purest form without a doubt. I love how you said it, light, shadows, composition.. That's it.. That's what makes a BW image. Garrett did say "dumb enough" didn't he? hahaha

@@_motioncreativemedia threw me right under the bus there

Welcome aboard! We hope to be a help to someone along the way. Are you a photographer or videographer?

I have found that even with a preset that I have made each image still requires minor adjustments and tweaks to match the set as a whole. It’s just always a good exercise to look at the entire set and see if it looks and feels cohesive

That’s a good correction!

I’m not 100% sure how his name got to be so prevalent in our area. There are some cool things happening in the area, but they aren’t happening overnight and they’re also going to need support once they open up so that they can succeed and others can follow suit. Would be cool to see a Davy Crockett themed location though

Yea… we forgot to add in the segment where the client answers a log of questions submitted by followers on Instagram! That was our second video

Oh that is great advice! I feel like sometimes, we forget that perhaps not everyone is already familiar with the top editing software options out there! Maybe we should do a whole episode on that! Yes, there's definitely plenty of business to go around! Don't be afraid by perceived "saturation"

We don’t currently have a video discussing it, but we can certainly make one if you’d be interested in seeing a breakdown of it!

When space allows, longer focal lengths are GREAT portrait lenses for sure. Garrett and I find that we can get most of the shots (mostly anywhere) that we want with 50mm. Intentional motion blur is fine.. especially if it helps tell the story within the photo!

She's a local photographer in our area of East TN. Here's her website www.bonniewidphotography.com

@@_motioncreativemedia Thanks for sharing. Great video btw. Good discussion and well produced. Perhaps you can add links to what's discussed in the video in the discussion. Cheers!

That's a good idea, actually! Sometimes (when we are doing the KZbin upload Process), we forget everything that we discussed during the recording. We will work on that!

Used glass is typically a great way to save on money. Especially if you buy from trusted sources or can visually and personally inspect the units!

Thank you guys so much!

Hopefully it was somewhat helpful!

Thank you guys! We just want to encourage someone to start that podcast that they've been wanting to start!

Very nice! That’s exactly what we like to hear!!

Vlogs are certainly making a comeback! It’s crazy that what we may find boring or mundane, someone else finds entertaining and interesting!

Film is so fun. I guess our whole overarching point was moreso.. you don't have to choose.. or feel like less of a photographer if you prefer one over the other. What's your favorite film stock to shoot right now?

wouldn't it be better if you told us what market that was in? i am a wholesaler and i'm noticing houses just sitting on market.

Yea, we are in Northeast TN. I can't speak to how things are going in other areas of the country right now.

Just an ol boy from East TN 😂

Gosh, that’s a bummer! Housing is expensive right now

We can see some more coming down the line! Y'all killed it👏🏼

I think what he ultimately meant was they aren't coming back down to what they were "prior" to all of this elevated rates.. Meaning a $250k house ain't coming back down to be $250k.. at least that's what I got from it when he mentioned it on the podcast.

@@_motioncreativemedia Well that is obvious, is it not? Have homes EVER gone back down to their previous price from years prior? Only during an event like '08 and it is temporary. Even in 2008 many places the prices only dropped 5% while some others reached as much as 35%. Either way, the median price for a U.S. home sold during the fourth quarter of 2008 fell to $180,100, down from $205,700 during the last quarter of 2007. That is an average of 12.5%. I mean that is like saying gas won't ever be a nickel a gallon again. Well, duh. And then he turns around and talks about how the prices ARE going down and how 'seller's have missed the boat'. Basically he is saying nonsense that sounds good to those who aren't listening.

@@fictitiousnightmares that’s a fair point. I don’t think anyone expects them to depreciate or anything like that.. I guess what I think he meant mainly was that homes are coming to a price that’s a lot more realistic to the value vs where (at least here in TN) they were selling for FAR above value for quite a while. I suppose the value is “whatever someone will pay”, but with housing needing appropriate appraisal values, that has kept that in check for the most part

@@fictitiousnightmares I’ll say this, too. Boy id love to see gas for 0.05 again lol 😂

It really can be quite the surprise.. Especially if time elapses between shooting and getting it developed! I'm glad we aren't the only ones that just can't bring ourselves to calling our teachers or coaches by their first names.. just can't do it.

I like the optimism you’ve got going on, here! I really do think there will be a way for you to get a home. Starter homes are key, though!

Is that sarcasm, Justus?!

No sarcasm!! It really looks awesome!!

Well thanks a bunch! It turned out better than we expected!!

Thank you for coming on! If it helps a single kid or helps with awareness of the needs and the ways to help, it was BEYOND worth it!

OF COURSE YOU ARE! lol.. You 2 change cameras and systems more often than we change underwear lol Not really, but you get the point lol

Thanks so much! Authentic human interaction is something the world is craving right now!

Max is amazing and he's doing a Great work! We love him, too!

Murray, I kid you not. I saw this happen with my own eyes. The Park Ranger undoubtedly saved a life that day.

That’s a good point, there! Speaks, again, to the need for education lol

Oh come on, You guys make our job easy!!
