First of all I’d like to thank all our listeners and friends for all the support you’ve been sending our way. It has been a great ride and, hopefully, it will continue to get always better.
Although we haven’t received much criticism from listeners for this, it is a topic that recurrently comes up in our pre or post-show discussions: the amount of content we should have on the site. And at the moment we feel that is probably our weakest front and it would be beneficial for the community around PhotoNetCast if some more quality information was published on the site.
And so, we are going to look into the community for this – we need some guest writers, people that want an established platform with an audience to write a few articles for once in a while.
Writing about industry news, gear, tutorials, opinions or commentary… You know what we are talking about. And you don’t have to be some big name either. As long as you have something interesting to say and have knowledge of what you want to write about, you’re good.
Interested? Get in touch. Use the contact form or email directly at photonetcat (at) photonetcast.com and we’ll discuss it further in detail.
A few days ago I posted an article on my blog explaining why I don’t subscribe to generalist photography magazines and would rather pay a higher price for a good quality magazine showcasing photography art and documentary, and asking the readers how much would such a magazine be worth for them. This was the same question I brought to the panel for discussion on the show.
We’ve also analyzed some of the new features of Lightroom 3 namely the noise reduction and how it compares to some third party applications.
iPhone 4 anyone? Is iphoneography here to stay with the new improvements (supposed) on the new iPhone’s camera? Everyone seems to think so.
Got some thoughts on the topics? Just drop us a comment…
If you want to submit your photos to the PhotoNetCast group on Flickr, we are looking for your black & white landscapes. Don’t forget to tag them with PNC46.
Very nice conversation with everyone. Thanks again to Sean and Achim. I’m sure we’ll have them again on the show soon.
Joining us on this episode we have once again William Burrard-Lucas, co-inventor of the BeetleCam. Although we didn’t spend much time on BeetleCam, I could not pass the opportunity to at least ask for a small introduction and letting you guys know about the first field experience of the "little buddy".
Never heard of BeetleCam? Take a look at the teaser video.
And here’s an example of what BeetleCam can do. Pretty amazing.
We also discuss the latest copyright issues coming out of Corbis and how this affects photographers represented by that agency.
After a short dip into film chemicals (pun intended, but not funny) we progressed to newer technologies and talk about the iPad and its uses for photographers. Still with Apple, we approach the potential problem that thousands of photographers will have with their flash websites not loading on the iPad. Time for a re-design? Let us know what you think.
Our photography assignments are progressing and following the first topic (we’ll publish the results in the next days) here comes the second one: Landscapes in Black & White. Go out, enjoy the spring time and photograph some beautiful B&W landscapes or go through your library and find what you have. Submit your entries to the PhotoNetCast Flickr group. To help us distinguish submissions for this assignment from regular submissions, please tag your photos with "PNC46".
