Summary
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.

| 0:21.2 | happened. I really liked yesterday's. It was the stop thinking and do more, or stop thinking |

| 0:42.6 | did I screw up the proposal photos or did I not screw them up? I mean, I don't think I didn't screw them up. |
| 0:50.5 | I think they're pretty screwed up. But I captured the moment, but there was an issue. |
| 0:56.5 | And I was making a vlog about it too. So that video will be coming out. But let me set the situation. |
| 1:03.1 | My buddy Dave Leno, as you guys know, you've seen him in the Sony A9 Real World Review. You saw |
| 1:07.7 | him in some other videos like the 70D video at the Temple University basketball game. He called me a week and a half ago and he asked if I would |
| 1:16.9 | photograph him proposing to his girlfriend. And so I thought about it. And then I thought about it. |
| 1:25.1 | I said yes. I said yes. Yes, that's right. He was proposing that I |
| 1:30.6 | photograph the proposal. So where it was going to happen was at 6 ABC, which is a news station here |
| 1:36.6 | in Philly, one of the larger news stations, and he's going to do it on the set. And so he was going to |
| 1:43.8 | get her there because he basically told her that he had to get credentials for something set. And so he was going to get her there because he basically told her that he |
| 1:46.4 | had to get credentials for something else. And so they were going to get a tour while they were there |

| 1:56.0 | at 645. I got there at 610. I wanted to be early. I wanted to make sure I could scope out the situation and make sure I was prepared so I didn't screw something up, which I did anyway. |
| 2:08.6 | And so the situation is you go into the studio. They told me where everything was going to be. |
| 2:15.6 | Really cool. Great lighting, of course. Well, pretty good lighting. |
| 2:20.3 | Because it's all studio lighting for shooting with the studio cameras because it's broadcast TV. |
| 2:26.3 | And so I had to figure out where I was going to hide. |
