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…

Macro Photography

 

Want to shoot the tiny stuff in life? All the bugs, all the details in flowers, all the details in the small objects? Then this episode is for you.

I am joined by Dave Wilson, Will Burrard-Lucas and Teymur Madjderey for a discussion in Macro Photography.

Up close on the Head“Up Close on the Head”

Extreme macro of a screw head with Phillips indentions. The original object is about 5mm wide and the image was not cropped.

 

 

We talk about some gear such as dedicated macro lenses (including the difference between macro lenses and zoom lenses with a macro stamped on it), extension tubes and close-up filters, without forgetting the good old trick of reversing lenses. We approach lighting in macro photography and we give a few tips to improve focus, exposure and background. Will also shared the setup for his amazing photos of mosquitoes.

Regarding post processing, we mentioned focus stacking and stitching.

On the news, we talk about the 5D MkIII, the almost end for Kodak’s slide film, the announced 41MP on Nokia’s new smartphone, and the latest news from BeetleCam.

Enjoy the show…

Wildlife Photography

 

As we’ve mentioned before, episode 54 is focused on Wildlife Photography. Will Burrard-Lucas is our expert on the topic and we discussed the basics of wildlife photography, including gear and logistics to commercialization of the images and approaches on how to get your images be seen by the traditional media. This is a must listen discussion if you’re interested and/or planning to start in Wildlife Photography.

Before our main topic, we had the opportunity to discuss the future of photography publishing and the shift from the traditional books to e-books and portable applications, following Jim’s launch of his White Sands Fine Art e-photobook, and talk about the new limited edition cameras by Hasselblad.

As in the last episodes, we’ve recorded the live video and we’ll publish it below as soon as it’s ready. it can be seen at the bottom of the post.

As always, any feedback, comments or questions are greatly appreciated.

For now, enjoy the show…
