More info next week on what the new goodies are. Carl sent us this wedding shot which he captured with his Nikon D300. Bob Fischer sent us a couple of potential entries for a portrait competition. Then, Shelton takes his "Find the light and put 'em in it" mantra, and turn it upside down.

We finally got here! This week, Shelton discusses his latest trip to Rockhampton to teach real estate salespeople how to more effectively shoot their properties, more on off-camera flash, and the John Bertrand shoot (pic 1, pic 2). Bruce is planning on using My Reflections to print his photobook of his recent U.S. trip. This week, we heard from John Bell who has put together a very informative video on how to prepare for an aerial photography expedition. Even if you don't plan on doing an aerial shoot, this is well worth watching. Thanks John. And of course, there's the landscape competition. Shelton came up with a corker of a prize! A Cokin "Landscape filter pack" comprising: Grey grad soft Grey grad hard Blue yellow polarizer Standard polarizer Nice! And the winner? Mr Tom Nevesley, come on down! There were also some honourable mentions (in no particular order): Congratualtions Tom! And thanks one and all for your submissions. Merry Christmas one and all. We'll be back mid-January. Take care.

Also, not mentioned on the podcast, but definitely worth sharing, are these panning shots from Andrew Sanigorski: Recently you guys were talking about blurs and panning the camera to renders moving subjects stationary and I thought I'd share some of the work I've done with you and your listeners/readers which is a bit different as they don't have a central sharp focus and are more concerned with the shapes and natural rhythms I've observed in the landscape. The images (personal work) were exposed for between 1/5th to 3 seconds generally with small apertures to get the type of blurring i was after (of course I could have added an ND filter so wider apertures could be used). The images were pretty much adjusted using camera raw (Bridge) with some very minor PShop tweaking. ...plus these of Jason Kaechler's crazy cats! !Podcasts,,Framing,,Looking,room,,Panning,shot,,Shutters,Inc Bruce Williams no No http://www.audio2u.com/?p=363 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=363#comments Tue, 07 Aug 2007 00:03:57 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=363 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=363 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=362 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=362#comments Mon, 06 Aug 2007 23:47:01 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=362 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=362 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=347 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=347#comments Sun, 05 Aug 2007 11:30:02 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=347 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=347 36:35 In ep 85, more listener e-mail, Andrew Cooper's panoramas, the controversial cover of Total Image, A great site that Bruce stumbled across during the week.... diyphotography, whic In ep 85, more listener e-mail, Andrew Cooper's panoramas, the controversial cover of Total Image, A great site that Bruce stumbled across during the week.... diyphotography, which led Shelton to mention Strobist's website The crazy wacky "plumbing-supplies-extension-tube" macro setup is here Plus, Shelton is looking for expressions of interest in a photo tour to Australia's Kangaroo Island next year. !Podcasts,,Flash,,Macro,,Panorama,,Photo,tour,,Shutters,Inc,,Studio Bruce Williams no No http://www.audio2u.com/?p=328 http://www.audio2u.com/?p=328#comments Sun, 29 Jul 2007 11:42:06 +0000 Bruce Williams http://www.audio2u.com/?p=328 http://www.audio2u.com/?feed=rss2&p=328 48:01 In ep 84, Shelton answers a whole bunch of listener e-mail.
