Keeping your photos safe with regular backups and Embarrassing Moments

After three attempts we finally managed to release a show a little bit shorter. This is probably the length we are going to aim at on future episodes. What do you think? It’s too long still or good enough?

On today’s show we cover the backup procedure each of us uses and share some embarrassing moments / newbie mistakes we made in the field. We hope you like it.

And although we don’t mention it in the show, we have an open poll. We’d like to know a little more about your level in photography. This will help us plan what topics to cover on future episodes.

Also, there is a new way for you to interact with us besides the comments, email or voice messages. Let’s say that you are going through your regular blog posts and read something that interests you and you’d like for us to discuss in the show or at least share our point of view. Bookmark it on del.icio.us with the tag for:photonetcast and we’ll see it for sure.

And now, on with the show…

Show Notes

Backup your Photos

If you remember the last show, we were discussing how to organize your photos and ended the discussion before going into backups. In this show we go right into it and share our way of doing regular backups and what we do to prevent loss of files, even if something goes wrong with the drives.

Embarrassing moments / Mistakes on the field

Every photographer has, at some time or other, made mistakes that are typical of beginners. In this segment we share your own stories. We wanted to make it funny, but beyond that, we wanted to alert you to some errors that you can easily prevent. We’ve made them so that you don’t have to (well, not really, but you can always keep them in mind).

Listener Poll: What’s your level in Photography?

We would like to know a little more about our listeners. What is your level in Photography?

Here at PhotoNetCast we have been amazed at how good and welcome our show has been received. It’s extremely satisfying and motivating for us, and keeps us on track to bring you the show on time and with useful content.

But we would like to know a little more about the person on the other side of the line (you).

And so, we have the first PhotoNetCast listener poll up and waiting for your votes.

What is your level in Photography?

Are you a professional photographer? Maybe a serious hobbyist? Or are you just starting with photography?

The answers will provide us with some information and help us decide on what kind of discussions we’ll get you on the next episodes, as well as what kind of listener projects we can come up with for you to participate in.

So, please use the form bellow or on the sidebar to tell us a bit more about your level in photography…

We thank you for your effort.

Blogging & Photography and Organizing your Photos

These are the topics that we cover in the third episode of PhotoNetCast.

We hope that you didn’t suffer much waiting for your next dose of audio photography, and here it is.

First of all we’d like to thank all of you who gave us a huge dose of motivation by listening to the show. It was a great feeling to see the downloads numbers going up and the comments pouring in. It’s really appreciated.

There is that little thing with the show length. We promised that we would make them shorter (and we did) but we still are not sure if the show is still too long. Any comments on that are very much welcome.

Also, as you’ll listen, we got going with the photo organization topic and we had to stop just on the backup phase. It’s a huge topic by itself and we want to cover it on #4. But we’d also like to have your participation: what are the best ways to keep your photo safe, your workflow ideas, etc. So, the ball is on your field now. Tell us what you think and besides the comments and the contact form, why not grab your phone and really "tell" us what you think. This goes for any other topic you’d like to see discussed as well.

Enjoy the show…

Show Notes

Blogging & Photography

We share our experience on both fields and discuss the importance of blogging and being involved in the scene on the learning curve of photography.

Organizing your Photos

It can be a nightmare if suddenly you notice that you have tens of thousands of photos and they aren’t that useful since it takes you hours to find the one you want. Better sooner than later is to find an organization system that works for you, whether using photo management software of any other process. We discuss our systems and how they have been working for us. And then we drift and end up taking about prints… the beauty of conversation.
