About this episode
In this episode, the crew is at it again, discussing listener questions, but this time the questions are a little more technical. The crew discuss the challenges of humidity on camera gear, managing focal points and time in the field, as well as how to turn your passion into a business and a lot more. And of course, there are many bunny trails the crew can’t avoid going down as they get lost in this passion-filled listener-question episode. Sound bites "Wingman, if you're listening..." "That's a pretty good idea, Ron."
