Panoramas and 360-degree photos

 

In this episode we are joined by Ron Pepper to talk about his expertise in panoramic photography, with emphasis in 360-degree images. While panoramic images are frequently made, and even more so with the large advances of software for this specific application, 360-degree images are not so frequent, and still demand attention for their interactivity. This is probably the only type of photography that is mostly reserved for the web and Ron is a skilful artist in achieving quasi-magic results.

In the news, we talk about Photoshop World, the new Sony QX “Lens Cameras”, the Creative Cloud deal for photographers ($9.99 – bargain), and a new promising technology developed in partnership between Cornell and Adobe. Take a look at the video below,  after the show notes.

As always, feedback is most welcome.

Episode #56 is (finally) out.

On this episode we have Trey Ratcliff as guest, the one of THE HDR tutorial, talking about his progress in photography and his story from his initial days in HDR to the recognition, trust and respectability Trey has in the HDR world and photography in general.

Besides the normal topics expected from a conversation in HDR photography, we also dip into business models and how a profitable business can be created from HDR photography.

This was a very inspiring conversation and one I’d really recommend you to take the time to listen. I’m sure you’ll take something out of it that you can apply on your own vision, creativity and photography journey in general.

I’ll also take the opportunity to thank Trey, the co-hosts involved in this episode and all the listeners that followed us live during this recording for everyone’s patience – we were plagued by technical issues at the beginning that delayed the recording by much longer than it should have.

App giveaway

We have some codes for Photo Verse (iPhone) and PixelSync (iPad) to share with our listeners. If you’re interested, send us an email stating the name of the app you are interested in on the subject. A week after the show is published we’ll randomly select the winners.

For now, enjoy the show…

Introducing Larry Leone

Introducing Larry Leone, a guest writer for PhotoNetCast.

Hi, my name is Larry Leone. I sat down today to write my first contribution to PhotoNetCast. Then I thought before I do, let me tell you guys a little bit about myself, what I do and give you an idea of what you can expect from me in the future.

I’m a NY / NJ based photographer. I work in marketing for a New York City based company, where my role includes photographing corporate events and head-shots. I also freelance in New Jersey shooting portraits, weddings and other events. I recently had the privilege of shooting two very talented recording artists for their album art and promotional material (more on that later).

For fun, I shoot medium format and 35mm film. I own a variety of film cameras and usually use film in the fall and winter when work slows down. You can probably expect a post or two about film, developing, and cameras also.

With that out of the way, I want to state that anything I write is based on personal experience and opinion. I photograph both on location and in the studio. I love lighting locations and learn from each and every experience. The kind of things I plan on writing about will cover a broad spectrum. Expect anything from location problems to gear that I found helpful (or not so helpful) to dealing with clients.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to do certain things that I will write about and I know I won’t be the last. If I use something that someone has taught me directly I will quote them and provide a link to their site. Nothing in this art is set in stone and is always subject to change.

I look forward to sharing my experiences with the readers of PhotoNetCast. If there is a subject you’d like covered, feel free to drop me an e-mail: AskLarry@larryleone.com .

Ed.: Welcome to the community Larry. Looking forward to read what you have to share, and I hope all our audience will make you feel as welcome as we feel with them.
