From documenting the comeback of Lance Armstrong, to a World Press Photo Award

 

In this episode we have the pleasure of having with us a very established name is sports photography – Elizabeth Kreutz. Elizabeth’s work got international recognition after she spent over a year documenting the unexpected comeback of one of the biggest names in world cycling to competition, Lance Armstrong. Comeback 2.0, by Elizabeth Kreutz and Lance ArmstrongFrom training sessions to more personal and family periods to the excitement of the Tour, these moments were captured by Liz’s lens and compiled on Comeback 2.0 – Up Close and Personal, that she co-authored with Lance. Much more than a sports photography book, Comeback 2.0 is a journey documented, with stunning photos made to be admired.

A selection of twelve images from the book earned Elizabeth the 1st Prize in Sports Feature by the World Press Photo.

A big thank you for Liz’s availability and her time spent talking with us.

Looking at the news, we talk about the new HDR feature for the iPhone and the controversial hated change in the royalty percentages by one of the leading microstock agencies – iStockPhoto (a Getty company). We speculate on what this might mean for the future of the industry.

As always, comments or questions are appreciated.

Enjoy the show.

 Questions from Listeners

Paul Dumas: Hi PhotoNetCasters. I have a question regarding colour calibration for monitors. I got a colorimeter and after going through the calibration process I’ve noticed that everything is very yellow and even greys have a slight sepia tone. Is this normal? I wasn’t expecting such a huge change. Thanks for any help.

John Finley: Hi guys. I’m an amateur doing some event photography. I tend to shoot in raw and adjust the white balance in post. Is there anything inherently wrong with this workflow or should I get a grey card and set my white banlance on location?

Allan Pang: can u suggest me a good 10mm lens for Nikon D60?

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…
