In this episode we talk about Cody's opportunity to work with Sony as well as how we capture our memories on our trips in the form of photo and video. We discuss the mistakes we made and the things we wish we had done sooner.

• Intro (0 min)

• What have we been up to (1:14)

• Working for sony/ drone 6:29

• Why is it so important for you to capture your adventures in the form of photo and video (19:50)

  The biggest mistake people make when capturing their memories Examples: No photos of themselves at the place, poor composition, focusing on what you think will look best on social media but not what will bring you back to the memory (22:23)

  Habits to capturing your memories

• 1. Take lots of selfies, turn the camera and film yourself in a circle at the place of interest (26:47)

• 2. Compose your image with something to show depth or scale, either putting yourself or another person in the shot, maybe a tent (32:18)

• 3. Organize after capture (35:08)
