PhotoNetCast #17 - Geotagging with the Photofinder MiniNovember 19

Geotagging revisited - Interview with the developers of Photofinder Mini

On PhotoNetCast #5 we approached the subject of geotagging. We had some concerns regarding the technology and usefulness of inserting location tags into the images. Now, after the launch of Photofinder Mini, we invited the developers, ATP Electronics, to give us some more insights into how geotagging works and what is innovative about their product.

I’ve reviewed their product on Words:irrational in which I go into detail my hands-on approach to their geotagging unit and having them on the show was a good opportunity to address some of the findings I describe, and to give some information on the behind-the-scenes functionality of geotagging for anyone considering it.

For now, enjoy the show… and don’t forget to participate in our giveaway.

Interview with Troy Paiva, exploring the desert night

It’s another episode of PhotoNetCast, and this time we have the pleasure of having as guest a photographer for whom daylight doesn’t mean much - Troy Paiva.

When Troy started photographing, the night was the time that most grabbed his attention and today, 19 years later, he his a master of night photography. But not only that, he developed a surrealistic style that became his signature.

During the interview we discussed how it all started and progressed to the development of a body of work that has been seen in many exhibitions and led to the publication of Lost America and Night Vision: The Art of Urban Exploration.

Troy also drops a few tips on how to start with night photography and light painting for all those thinking about it. And speaking of how to, his photography technique is well described and explained on his site.

Troy’s work can be seen on his Flickr stream and on his sites Lost America and Troy Paiva Photography.

 

 

Show Notes


How long should PhotoNetCast’s episodes be?October 20

 

Since the first episodes of PhotoNetCast we had listeners telling us that the show is too long, and listeners telling us that we should take the time we need.

We have been quite liberal with the duration of the show and usually let the conversation flow. Having four people with different ideas to share results in shows of around one hour. We understand that not everyone has one hour to spend on a single podcast. And while this probably applies more to listeners that listen to the show directly on the web site, it’s everyone’s time.

So, it’s time for you to help us shape the show. Tell us what you think would be the perfect length for PhotoNetCast and we’ll try to adapt the show.

Buying your first dSLR

This is a question that surely many of you have been through and many listeners coming from point & shoot cameras have.

If you’re planning to upgrade to a dSLR there are a few points that you should consider, from camera brand to camera features. Just don’t get too caught up with the technology talk. Many of the cameras on the market have enough features and enough capacity to keep you company for some years. Get it now and get creative.

As probably most of you were aware, Photokina, the world’s largest photography and imaging trade fair, happened between September 23 and September 28 in Cologne, Germany.

Me and Martin were there for a quick visit and we wanted to bring you some of the feeling of Photokina. Jim also joined us on the show to ask a few questions that someone not visiting might have.

2910102956_f60ee94735.jpg If you didn’t have the opportunity to visit Cologne this year, schedule in your calendar, Photokina 2010 - September 28 to October 3, 2010.
