A few suggestions to improve your photography workflow

 

Many times, the expression workflow is thrown around when talking about photography, and it gained popularity since the expansion of digital photography, hence digital workflow, namely used associated handling the digital files, from capture to publication. In my personal opinion, I think workflow includes/should include also the steps before the capture, and this is something we have approached on this episode.

Since I don’t think there is such a thing as an inherently wrong workflow, and since this is a very individual process, instead of trying to preach on what you should do, we’ve decided to discuss our own workflow, and pass on a few tips that, we hope, will help to improve yours.

On this episode of the podcast we talk about

  • Steps before the shoot, including shoot planning
  • Backups “on the field”
  • Backups on return, and redundant backups
  • Importing images
  • Associating metadata
  • Presets
  • Flagging images and using smart collections
  • Registering with the Library of Congress (increased copyright protection)
  • Publishing online

We had also time to discuss a few news topics and answer listener questions, and of course, our selected from the web.

Enjoy the show…

PhotoNetCast #59 – Standing Out with your Photography

With more and more photographers exhibiting online, one way to get noticed is by doing something different. How important is it to stand out with your photographic work?

The Importance of standing out with your photographic work

 

In this episode we have as guest Scott Liddell to help us in the discussion. Scott is the anonymous now not anonymous anymore author of Dark Edinburgh. This site, although small in scale, has been gaining some notoriety around the local photographic community, and one reason for this might be the focus Scott has placed on it, showing a darker side of the city, that you won’t get on the guide books.

BuskerFrom a lengthy conversation with Scott about the story of this site, I thought it to be a fairly good example of the importance of standing out with your photography and invited him to join us on the show.

Besides the discussion, we talked about iOS 5 and what it means for iphoneographers, and the new Pentax O-GPS1, the new geotagger from Pentax with some interesting peculiar features.

shoeWe are also reviving the PhotoNetCast group on Flickr with some themed “competitions”. For this episode the theme is Old. Go out and shoot anything that can be related to this theme and upload it to the group.

Also, out latest poll is still up. How many photography podcasts do you regularly listen to?

Enjoy the show (this one has outtakes too)…

PhotoNetCast #47 – The Value of Photography Magazines

What’s the true value of a photography magazine? That is the question I pose to our guests on this episode… But there’s more… Lightroom 3, iPhone 4, street photography…

Discovering the true value of a photography magazine

 

 

For this episode two new voices join us on the show: Sean Galbraith, co-owner of galleryDK and Achim Runnebaum, editor of RAN Magazine.

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.

Enjoy the show…
