PhotoNetCast #72 – Apertures, polarizers and GNDs, Portfolios, Brenizer technique and more

Listeners’ Questions show – Apertures, polarizers and GNDs, Portfolios and hosting, Brenizer technique, magic gadgets and more.

We have finally decided to tackle the backlog of listener questions we were dragging with us (some already for a few months).

On this episode, Antonio Marques, Dave Wilson and Will Burrard-Lucas discuss aperture, shutter speed and their relationship with sensor sizes and different lenses; polarizers and graduated neutral density filters; some suggestions for the choices that have to be made with online portfolios; hosting and different publishing platforms (CMS); the (Ryan) Brenizer technique; creating packages for wedding photography; and more.

On the news side, mentions of the newly released MacBook Pro and Aperture, and some interesting news coming out of Getty on their coverage of the Olympic Games.

As always, questions or general feedback can be sent via photonetcast (at) photonetcast.com or through our contact form.

We are also looking at replacing our long-standing logo on the show. If you have any good suggestions for it, let us know.

Until the next one, enjoy the show…

PhotoNetCast #70 – PhotoNetCast turns 4

Episode 70 marks four years of PhotoNetCast. We annouce two competitions with over $1400 at stake, and take a look at the past 4 years in the photography industry.

4 years of Photography podcast

 

Yes, that’s right. Episode 70 marks four years of talking photography. It feels almost strange, looking back at the almost shy announcement (episode 1), to know that just over four years have passed, and more than 80 hours of published audio. Many awesome moments on the show, not only the ones that we publish, but also what happens behind the scenes, when things go smooth, and when things almost fail miserably. It has been an amazing experience and a privilege to be able to reach a great audience such as you.

Not everything has gone according to schedule (otherwise we would be running episode 100, not 70) but we do our best and I guess that what matters is that we have not podfaded just yet Smile

What about from your side of the show? What were the most memorable/funny/entertaining/horrible/insightful moments that you remember? Share with us in the comments…

To celebrate this 4 years, we have two competitions with amazing prizes for our listeners: a photo competition, and a social media competition. All details on how to participate at the link.

Also on the show we go through some news, and we take a look at the past four years in photography, with what we think were the biggest game-changers since we started the podcast. And just for the fun of it, there were also a few guesses at what the next four years are going to bring.

And also a big thank you to the great companies that have donated over $1400 in prizes for the competitions: OnOne Software, Nations Photo Lab, X-Rite, GMC Publications, CustomSLR, ThinkTank Photo, Artsy Couture, BorrowLenses.com and HDRSoft. It’s great to see these companies supporting the community. So, next time you need some gear, try to support them.

Here’s to another 4 years…

PhotoNetCast #68 – Combining Photography and Charity Work

On this episode we are joined by Colby Brown (The Giving Lens) and Ivan Makarov (Plus One Collection) on a conversation about their experiences combining photography and charity projects.

 

Combining Photography and Charity Work

 

Episode 68 of PhotoNetCast brings together on the show Colby Brown (The Giving Lens) and Ivan Makarov (Plus One Collection) to talk about their experiences combining two of their passions – Photography and Charity Work.

The Giving Lens organizes workshops and photo education events in several locations around the globe. They work with local non-profit organizations and aim to make a difference within that community. On the show Colby describes very well what they do.

 

imagePlus One Collection is a collective effort by many photographers organized on Google Plus. Main idea? Publish a photography book and give the proceedings to Kiva, a micro-lending organization helping individuals in less privileged parts of the world.

Overall this was a very inspirational conversation and just shows what can be achieved when creative minds and a willingness to help others come together.

Enjoy the show…
