It's a new week, which means it's time for a new episode of Starter Series, my YouTube series based on finding affordable equipment to help you create better photo and video content. This week, the topic of interest is the 35mm f/1.8 lens, and for this video, I'm using the DX cropped sensor version.

When out and using my headphones, there's always the worry of having the battery died out on me mid-Podcast. Traveling for work has me favoring light and protective over larger items and too many battery banks (it is a thing).

Halide just updated their camera app with a new companion app for the Apple Watch! Halide, for those who aren't familiar, is a manual camera app for the iPhone that takes captures photos in a RAW format.

When it comes to editing video content as of late, my process has been to shoot in the highest quality format I can, and then to take that footage and organize it onto my MacBook Pro’s internal SSD. Having everything on a drive that fast makes it easier to do edits versus running them off an external hard drive.

With bigger projects, and more high profile clients, it makes sense to use the right tools to get the job done. As I've started to plan out my different jobs for the first half of the year, improving the quality of my production equipment is something that has been on my mind. 

For many of us, the most important computer that we have is the one in our pockets. Even more so for content creators, our phones are one of our biggest tools for creating content and connecting with our audiences.
