In this second and final long-awaited photo stories episode, Carissa shares the 'many' photos she had taken in Japan and the stories behind each shot. She discusses her experiences shooting with the Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM prime lens and what she would do differently. 

They then go off on a long tangent about the art of photography and how photos can now be easily manipulated... thus sparking the Smart Ho throwback revolution of film cameras.

About The Smart Ho Podcast:

Currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, Carissa Smart and David Ho are two content creators who are best friends. 

Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

Carissa and David jump right into Apple's WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) event (yes, it is a bit late).

They do their best to break down the latest products that were announced and touch on how rushed the event felt. 

They dig into what's actually changed since last year and which products they would consider a better value as content creators. David questions who the new Mac Pro is for, as he does a price check while comparing the Mac Studio and the Mac Pro.

They then discuss the latest features of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, WatchOS 17 and MacOS Sonoma- or Samoa, as David mistakenly thought.

Lastly, they share their concern about the new Vision Pro and the future of technology.

It's been a while but Smart Ho get behind the mic and debriefed us on their absence. We find out Carissa was running amuck in Japan - so she's for sure to blame for everything. David dives right into the belated news updates regarding Canon's upcoming flagship camera confirmation.

They then dig into the latest Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra fake moon news and debunked Samsung's camera technology. Carissa, although remaining sceptical, believes it is all just a marketing ploy because it's a 'Galaxy' phone and the moon is in the.. well... GALAXY!

Lastly, they dig into the latest (at the time) news regarding Meta's Paid Verification Program rollout, what it means to be verified and how much it will cost for a blue checkmark on Instagram and/or Facebook.

Carissa and David reconvene after a little break and dig deep into iPhone cameras (Specifically the iPhone SE (2022), 12 Pro Max, and 13 Pro Max). David, although sceptical, has whipped up a photo/camera comparison to debunk Apple's camera hardware 'improvements' over the years. Carissa, cynical about her answers, uses her photography skills to try and spot the differences between each photo while also being blindsided by a few of the results. This was a fun one!

Currently residing in Melbourne, Australia, Carissa Smart and David Ho are two content creators who are best friends. 

Together they are filming, producing and editing an unscripted in-studio video podcast, The Smart Ho Podcast.

In this episode, Carissa unveils a digital wall that resembles her real wall but is dubbed 'The COOL Wall'. Carissa and David decide which pieces of tech/gadget items are cool and which are not by placing photographs on various sections of the wall. The categories are, from left to right; "Seriously Uncool", "Uncool", "Cool" and "Sub Zero".

According to David, an important part of each item's coolness factor rested on the extent of the item's pros and cons but also if they currently own the item in which case immediately belongs in the "Seriously Uncool" as part of an acknowledged rule that any items owned by themselves cannot be considered cool.

Carissa and David are back with another brand new series titled 'The News'. David jumps right into the Canon EOS R8 rumours and when we should expect the next 'rumoured' entry model mirrorless camera to drop.

They then dig into the Apple iPhone 15 leaks and what major camera upgrades we should expect for this year's September/October release.

Lastly, David touches on the recent Samsung software update glitch and what (according to Samsung) was the reason behind the baffling bizarre update which left thousands of phones wiped. He also shares key information for those who live in Australia and how Australian Consumer Law can benefit you as a consumer... oh and there's also a related story involving his Dad getting a brand new replacement 8-year-old iPhone from Apple.

David continues on from the previous episode with more questions for Carissa to answer. Curiously, David questions why Carissa is NOT verified on Instagram and VERO. They briefly touch on the process of getting/not getting verification and share their thoughts about the whole process.

They then share advice for those who are interested in becoming a content creator and what it takes to be an actual 'content creator'.

They also share what they've learned from one another that has stuck with them over the years. (Content creation and in life)- hint: It involves coffee and some feels!
