About this episode

Photographer and YouTuber Chris Freitag is back to explain what the new adjustable aperture does for your photos even if you never touch a setting, why Photographic Styles finally won him over, and how his iPhone replaced a much pricier video camera. Stick around for the free app he still can't believe costs nothing. In this episode: • Apple's "Welcome home" event in New York on October 13 and what might show up • How a trip for a watch band ended with an iPhone 18 Pro at $0 a month • f/1.48 vs. f/4: brighter low-light shots, natural background blur, and sun stars • Photographic Styles that work like a Lightroom color profile, plus the new Film look • Why Chris is happy shooting HEIF instead of RAW • Camera Control: better than the 16, still clumsy • What the new aperture means if you just want good party photos • Shooting video with Blackmagic Camera, and his one gripe: slippery aluminum Links from the show: Chris Freitag: https://www.chrisfreitag.com Chris on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChrisFreitag Chris on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chrisfreitag Blackmagic Camera: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagiccamera Leica LUX: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/
