After much deliberation over the fantastic compilation of images for the July contest, I’ve finally had to just make probably one of the toughest judging decisions I’ve had to make thus far in the history of the contest series. However, in light of the theme of the contest (Slick), and the creativity that went into the image itself, I have to give the nod to Stephen Ludgate for his submission: Continue reading “Lightroom 3 Contest Winner!”

Blogging for Photographers
With the huge expanding nature of blogging and sharing your photography through an online blog, there’s been a lot of photo-blog projects started, and while many are quite good (and also inspirational), others have been started and it’s pretty obvious from the start that while the photos may be decent – the blogging platform has left a little to be desired.

Lightroom 3 is here – Now What?
With all the hubbub of the release of Lightroom 3 and all the resources that cropped up online in mere minutes of the announcement, we often find ourselves asking more questions once the excitement and energy that surrounds a product release has drained.
I took these questions with me to a conversation with Senior Product Manager Tom Hogarty last week, and got a lot of insights and answers, with both a technical perspective and that of long-term development. I give you this week’s podcast: Continue reading “Lightroom 3 is here – Now What?”

Lightroom 3 Q&A (Beta)
What a great day to release a new podcast – with the final release of LR coming out very soon, I had the distinct opportunity to talk with Rob Sylvan, author of LR2 for Dummies, and the forthcoming Taking Stock. We talked a lot about Lightroom, working at NAPP, and took a few listener questions and answers. More photo news, additional Q&A, and a new feed for the podcast start today, so be sure to download the latest show. You’ll notice I have pulled the feed back to this site, and the format is more iTunes compatible (m4a) so you can now see pics and chapter segments. Continue reading “Lightroom 3 Q&A (Beta)”
Keep on Shootin'!
It’s been a while since an episode of LDP ran, but as we keep on shootin’ our way through life, so to does LDP continue on albeit not as frequently as any of us would like! Nevertheless, I get caught up somewhat on the photo news beat with some of the top stories over the past three weeks, have a great conversation with Tyler Stableford, a recent addition to the distinguished annals of the Canon Explorers of Light group. He’s been featured in photo magazines including Sports Illustrated, National Geographic, and many more. A recent series on the Colorado F-16 fighter pilots is what caught my eye about him and we recently had a chance to chew the fat…on this show! Continue reading “Keep on Shootin'!”

What's New in iTunes?
With all the buzz and news wrangling to get the latest info on the iPad and iBookstore, people should keep in mind that there is still a HUGE following on iTunes for everything from music to applications, and then, there’s one other thing…oh yeah, podcasts!
Funny that podcasts is mentioned today, because a new one is due out shortly here – and what better way to grab the latest podcast in your very own LDP iTunes App! Yep, in an effort to let you grab the shows in any way that suits your needs, there is now also a dedicated iTunes App for those that enjoy the show. In addition to the normal show content, additional features will be available like digital downloads, calendar themes, and other sorts of fun content. Other easy one-touch options also include:
- Email the show direct from your iPhone or iTouch
- Visit the website
- Follow on Twitter
- Call the Show for free (you can call from a landline too at: 866-809-8663)
Check it out when you have a minute here:
Learning Digital Photography iTunes Application
I also have a coupon or two, so if you are interested in downloading the app – who knows, maybe some lucky commenter (completely at random of course, say between now and the end of April made on this specific post) will get a copy of the app on the house! (hint hint…! 🙂 )
1:45:57
You may think the subject is a typo or some sort of gibberish, but it’s not – that’s the length of the latest podcast that just went live over at PLM! Kerry Garrison (of Camera Dojo notoriety) is fresh back from Hawaii and I am back from a long set of downtime from a pretty yucky head cold, so we decided to join forces and cross-publish! For our purposes here, consider it LDP #43! You can grab the feed from LPD or iTunes! Continue reading “1:45:57”
Where do you listen?
For those that have been reading the blog for a while, you should know that I run a companion podcast. It’s a lot of fun to produce, and I am looking forward to putting out a new show very soon (hint, early next week). However, while I am out of town for a few days on a special photo shoot, I thought this would be a good time to get some idea of where people are listening most. So, if you could, take a moment to let me know how you enjoy the show:
ETA: Sorry all, the polling service starting spamming the blog with some pretty unrelated questions so it’s been deleted. I was looking to see how many people listened via iTunes, via PLM, or direct download…thanks! 🙂
For those that do not listen to the show, there are a few questions I would like to ask you too. First off, why don’t you? 🙂 Seriously though – I realize that not everyone has the time to listen to podcasts, or the resources to afford things like iPods, Touches, and iPhones, and all that stuff. So, for the non-listening audience (just blog readers), I am trying to come up with ideas for you too. So, here’s a chance to tell me what you want! Sound off in the comments with your ideas too – things always change and it’s the reader and listener interest that keeps me in touch, so let me know what other types of material you would like to see! Is it more contests? More interviews? Worksheets and practical exercises? Workshops and seminars? All are options (and anything else you have in mind). I’ll check back in on Monday to see what everyone has to say. Happy shooting and have a great weekend!
The Canons Keep Coming!
Last week we had the pleasure of visiting with Nicolesy on the show, and this week another Canonite graces us with his presence. It’s none other than Rick Sammon! We had a great conversation that touched on quite a few things including learning and teaching strategies for seminars and workshops, different stages of learning, and even broached underwater photography. I also got the scoop on his latest developments including his iPhone app, a new book that is forthcoming, and much more! All that on Episode #42 of LDP! Here’s the notes!
