Hello world! No, this is not a mistake on your feed – we have indeed recorded a new episode of PhotoNetCast.

It took us a long time to get together, and definitely more than usual for me to edit it, but #77 of your favourite photography podcast is here.

On this show I try to explain why the absence, and believe it or not I’m blaming it on a 5-month old baby (Dave insisted this time he wouldn’t take the blame).

We also take a look at some news (that were relevant when we recorded, maybe less so now), including the new ToS from Instagram with a nice conspiracy theory behind it, new gear coming out of CES, the Getty-Google deal, and more.

And we answer a few listener questions about shooting in very cold weather, infra-red photography and converting your cameras, image stabilization in lens and in camera, and the strange effect of beer has on composition and sharpness.

Hopefully after this episode the next ones won’t take as long to release. Once again apologies for that, but for now, enjoy the show…

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…

In the news, we mention the closing of Picnik, the photo editing engine used by Flickr – it seems that Flickr is getting a major revamping, let’s see what’s going to be new as editing tool. We’ve also discussed the new Nikon D800 and tried to foresee if the optical viewfinder is going to be around for a few years more or not.
