This is the third and final installment where I help Sam build a portfolio for college. In Part 1 and Part 2 I was helping Sam try to figure out his style as well as sending him off to capture more images for us to choose from. Part 3 brings this process to a close when we start to narrow down all of his images to the 10 keepers for his portfolio.

I want to point out that I am not telling Sam what images he has to use in his portfolio. I am merely giving my professional opinion on what I think would work best for his college entrance portfolio. I mention that a few ties to him, that I think this would be a strong image but if there is another image you feel strongly about feel free to use it.

At the end of this video I left Sam to pick the 10 images he best thinks represents his photography. I was only his guide and sounding board in the process. Sure I have my opinions on what could be used and what may work better but in the end it comes down to Sam.

That brings up an interest point as well. There are so many opinions out there, so many people calling themselves experts and telling you to listen to them or else. Don't fall into that trap, ask a lot of questions of as many people you can while taking everything they say and filing it away to make your own decision. In the end you need to listen to yourself, you need to make the final decision based off of everything you know and not just one persons recommendation, remember that!!

Yes I had to go ahead and go the predictable rout for this weekends theme but with a slight twist. The theme is Valentines day but YOUR perception of it. Is it happy, is it puppies and cream or is it sad and lonely? I am looking for major creativity this weekend, get out there think outside the box and capture some cool concepts and images.

We have a NEW SPONSOR for the WEEKEND Section and that is BlackRapid!!! That means the new weekend prize for WINNING the Top 5 is a BlackRapid STRAP!!!! There will still be a second strap given away each week so be sure to check out the video below for those instructions.

http://froknowsphoto.com/nikon-85mm-f... ‎Click Here to see full res sample images from this lens.

Nikon has finally updated its 85mm F1.8 AFD with the NEW Nikon 85mm F1.8G AFS. The new AFS lens is aimed at professionals and amateurs a like. What makes this a very enticing lens is the fact that it sells for $499.99. At that price it gives amateurs and pros a reasonably priced professional lens to help them take their images to the next level.

In this review I put the new 85 1.8g AFS against the older 85 1.8 AFD and for fun I brought out the 85mm f1.f AFS Nikon. While I was at Allen's Camera I set up a quick little test shooting scene and than used the three lenses listed above to capture the same scene.

Nikon 85mm f1.8g AFS vs Nikon 85mm f1.8 AFD

Below you will find this weeks Top 5 for you to VOTE on to help one of these photographers win a BlackRapid Strap. The recommended theme was "MUSIC" but as always you can enter with any photo that you capture during the time period.

I know you are all dying to see what the new THEME is and the THEME for Feb 25th and 26th is "Wide Open". Wide open is referring to your lens and its widest aperture. So this is open to everyone if you own any lens what so ever, not just expensive lenses.

I have known Adam Rosenberg since we were in grade school together. Adam has developed into an amazing artist and painter over the last decade and a half.

Though you have seen Adam on my channel a few times it is time to introduce you to Adam Rosenberg's YouTube Channel. I have to say Adam has taken many of the words I have said on the site to heart and decided to take action and share his Art and knowledge with anyone who is interested.

While at Photokina I stopped by the BlackRapid booth to take part in the Tutu Project. You can read more information about the project at the link above.

BlackRapid has created the special edition Pink Kickstrap where they will donate $10 directly to the Tutu Project for every one of those purchased.

This is a great cause and they would love to hear your stories about how cancer has played a part in your life. On twitter please share your stories with #KickCancer .

They will randomly be selecting selecting people who share their stories to win some free straps.

Again I have to thank BlackRapid for their continued support of FroKnowsPhoto and this great cause.
