This week, the travel insurance fallout. Some good, some not so good. David Foggin is both a contributor to, and PR/marketing guru for, an exhibition called “The Collective”. The Facebook page is here. Check it out for more info. Ian Collard most generously offered my his no-longer-used Minolta 75-300mm kit lens to replace my recently-stolen […]

The ups, the downs, the thieves and the vomit. Plus a bit more…

** You’ll notice a slight sound quality change at 5:50. Skype dropped out on us, and when it re-established, the audio quality was somewhat improved.** This week, Kyle has switched to linux/darktable. Good on ya, mate! I’ve been out shooting Vivid 2017, along with some more cadet portraits. Plus, I eventually arrived at a different […]

This week, a couple of quick stories… Adam and I both found this one about AI bringing colour to b+w images (Adam’s link | my link). Rakesh sent me this fantastic series of drone-o-ramas [no, you can’t have it, I’ve copyrighted that term, ok?

This week, Microsoft announces that 3 flavours of Linux are coming (are already available?) to the Windows app store. Story 1 | Story 2 As someone who has embraced Linux and is loving Darktable, I figured this means anyone who is interested in dt can give it a run inside a Virtual Machine without completely […]

This week, a couple gets married on Mt Everest after trekking for 3 weeks! Susan Menis sent us this bewildering list… 6 reasons why bokeh is overrated. Adam told us about the free skin softening software you’ve probably (allegedly) never heard of… yet almost all of us already have it!

This week, Glynn would like to dedicate the episode to Hilda Clayton, a combat photographer killed in the line of duty in 2013. He also later decided we should jointly dedicate this episode to new listener, Scott.

This week, we’re all watching youtube. Me? I’ve discovered Joe Edelman’s channel and have been devouring heaps of it. Beautifully produced, great images, and helpful tips. Well done, Joe! Glynn is mightily impressed with his Gnarbox. Adam brought us a heap of stories, including Lytro’s 755 megapixel Cinema light field camera. Data requirements are a […]

This week, Verifly is a company which offers on-demand drone insurance. They may not be the first or only player in the market, but it’s the first company I’ve heard of. Figured someone might find the info useful. An interesting follow up to last week’s assertion from Glynn about why people shoot film… to be […]

This week, these photoshopped animals will make you feel different! The encouraging story that the New York Times is doubling the rate of pay for its photographers. Link 1 | Link 2 The Death of Digital Photography as We Know It, Adam sent us this comparison of the Tamron and Nikon 70-200’s, this story of […]
