Summary

There is an ongoing debate wether or not you should post your wedding package and portrait pricing on your website. I have said it before I am not a big fan of making definitive statements but this is the one of the few times I will say I would not post my prices online.

Now I would consider putting a packages "starting" at price but not all of your prices. The way I look at it is I want people to contact me for the chance to "make the sale'. If they look at my prices and see that I am just out of their budget they may move on. Where as if I spoke to them on the phone I would have had a better chance of either giving them a discount or working something out.

Of course it's totally up to you to decide what you would like to do for your business. That's the great thing about what we do is there is no right or wrong way, you go with what feels right and works best for you.

As you guys know we have been using the Atomos Shogun for the last few weeks. This is the latest and greatest Atomos with its huge 7 inch touch screen and ability to record 4k footage. Of course you need to have a camera that does 4k but even if you don't have one yet you can take full advantage of the 1080 ability.

I personally want to thank Atomos for their continued support and want you guys to know that without sponsors like them footing the production costs we would not be able to bring you RAWtalk each and every week.

YouTube has started the process to possibly charge a monthly subscription fee to allow viewers to watch Ad free videos. Would you pay for this ability? If so how much?

Stephen hits us with a TON of photo news this week and I wrap up the show with "Flying Solo" and the "Wheel Of FRO".
