Friends, After working the business for almost six years, I've taken a job outside of it and will start there Monday morning. My last day at my previous station was this past Tuesday evening. Without this message board, the experienced photogs who posted and some blogs, I never would have...

So...I figured turn to minds of knowledge after I can't find it online. I've seen it done so I know it can happen. I want to clip my stick mic w/cube onto my camera. What piece do I need for what would be the mount on the camera? I shoot on a AJ-SPX800. I thought I read on here one time, using...

So we just got a few of this in. So far a pretty good camera. A mix of P2 and mini-DV. I haven't been able to push the camera super hard, but it looks like it could perform pretty well.. Only question. What kind of on-camera light would be best for this cam? I thought I'd ask the masses...

Ok...I've never put one together or really worked in one. But what's the best way to setup a pool feed during a courtcase? This would involve at least 2 cameras and an audio feed. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance.

It seems all of my posts I've created have been rants lately. (END OF DISCLAIMER) What is communication like in your shops? I swear...people in ours do not talk. From the desk, down to the producers/reporters/photographers. How hard is it to send a newsroom email out of email, just to update...

Ok. I'm ranting. If you're using a lav mic hide the darn wire. Don't do the over the shoulder thing if you can still see the thing sitting there. Run it under, or place it low enough where you won't see it. It only takes a second. Rant over and it wasn't a big one.

Ok...So this has happened to me twice during the last week, and before with the same detective. There is a shooting, I get there, and goto the tape. I've been at the tape for at least 10 minutes and talked to a couple deputies I know while standing there. This detective comes up and tells me I...

Ok, we've all been talking about Anchorman. There's a new addition to the website and the whole greatness of it all. I don't know if any of you have seen it, but there's a funny as hell music video. http://www.mtv.com/music/video/premiere/will_ferrell/index.jhtml Head there and watch it.

How many of you carry still cameras with you too? I'm thinking of buying a nice camera and taking it out with me too. Anybody else do this?

Ok...Just curious with this topic... We need a new IFB system for our live trucks? What are some that you guys use that are reliable and will last a while???

hey guys and gals... got a question... does anyone know the address for the website with all the pictures of live trucks? i've seen the site before, but now i can't remember the address. thanks for your help. -j

last night had a rally against domestic violence pkg... got really good sound while out there from just putting the mic in places. get back to the station at 9:30, told the reporter what i had, and what i thought would work well... finally got the script at 10:40, and had to bust rump to get...

just watching cnn... heard a tv photographer was hurt or attacked in some of the riots there lsat night. any ideas of what happened and how the photog is? this also brings into question how close we should get to the action in cases like this. what are somethings y'all go by in these situations?

Ok, I have kind of been given the assignment of coming up with a "wish list" so to speak of things the photographers need in their gear. This is for a smaller market so nothing too outrageous, but what is needed. The things we are looking for are light kits for each set of gear, wireless sets...

We deal with the general public on a daily basis and sure enough we run into many funny encounters. What are some of your more memorable one's or maybe some you want to forget about??? -Going to any event...person greets you and says... "are you from the tv station?".... -Working with the...
