INSPIRATION! David Hobby – The Strobist with DRTV! ¦ Wednesdays with Leo

The latest video to be released by the DRTV team is their “Pro Photographer, Cheap Camera Challenge” with David Hobby.

David Hobby is the author for his blog, Strobist.com. The blog has an on-line monthly readership of over 300,000 photographers from 175 countries, and was named one of the "25 Best Blogs of 2010" by Time Magazine.

The DRTV team set David off with a Buzz Lightyear Camera and 3 Family Jewels Fuq 690 Flashes and a list of 5 locations with 5 subjects.



The video is an entertaining watch as always! However, what I really wanted to share with you guys today is David Hobby’s blog about his experience with the DRTV team.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this blog as it goes into more detail about the challenges he came up against.

The video is 23min of smiles, laughter and fun, but there is always more to the story, and David Hobby fills in what we didn’t see in his blog.

He describes each obstacle he came across from his own perspective and discusses his actual thought processes throughout.

The video we see David saying “Oh wow” when the snakes are revealed, however his reaction was somewhat toned down for YouTube.

“OhHolySh!tThatOneIsACobra” – David Hobby

Throughout the blog post he is also grading his own work and it’s very humbling to see that he’s being open and honest when critiquing his own performance with these challenges.

So I strongly recommend if you enjoyed the video from DRTV that you take some time to read the Behind the Scenes Blog from the man himself, David Hobby!
