Shutters Inc

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 […]

The quote of the week goes to the guy at Circular Quay in the t-shirt which read: “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, just wait till you hire an amateur.” Nice one! Certainly applies to photography. Is Instagram shadow-banning business accounts? This article at petapixel would suggest so. Dave King wrote in to ask […]

This week, David Marland steps in, in Glynn’s absence. You know that iconic iceberg composite image? Well, love it or hate it, it has earned its creator over $900k in royalties! Sony’s digital ND filter looks interesting. David is not sure about trying to ‘draw’ it on the screen of your camera, though. Might just […]

This week, an interesting personal photography project… the Under-horse project. Yep, it’s as weird as it sounds! There’s a bunch of photos which are (allegedly) NOT Photoshopped… although we’re not entirely convinced. Lightroom… are you doing LR wrong? This blog post covers the image-management side of things quite nicely, for those who thought LR was […]

This week, the Godox Wistro looks like a handy little pocket-sized flash to have in your kit. One of the spots I’m heading to on my European vacation is Portimao in Portugal. The sea caves look like a photographer’s dream location! The video about the drug overdose story is here. Peter Sambell wrote to ask […]

This week, there’s new Sigma Art lenses on the way, including a damned sexy looking 135/1.8! Fancy developing film in the comfort of your own home? Maybe you need the Lab-Box. If you enjoy good design, the show “Abstract” on Netflix might be worth your time. And for some very skilled drone-piloting, check out this […]

This week, Bruce has been testing his lenses, and Glynn is bored by that. Triggertrap is shutting up shop. If you’re a fan of the product though, you should jump over to their online store and grab yourself a cable or two, as they’ve all been reduced in price. Adam also submitted this story with […]

This week, the Trump inauguration and the gigapixel image thereof, Do you need a photography website? This guy says yes, Liquid mountains in the Great Lakes, Getting it right in camera, Chase Jarvis shares 10 things you must learn, the ten year old who surfed right over the top of a great white shark without […]

Happy new year! This week, again… back up your data! I’ve now fully embraced Linux and darktable. The Guardian brought us its take on the best photos of 2016, Celebrities reveal their public and private personas in intimate double-portraits, Amazon Europe ‘click and bait’ practices, Kodak is bringing back Ektachrome slide film, and there’s Glynn […]

This week, a short and sweet episode to take out the year. Glynn chats about Myanmar. I was surprised to learn that a Sony a99ii prototype had a 24MP sensor. Adam told us about Relonch, a $99/month subscription service which in my opinion, won’t be around for long. Let’s see. Carl has gone all Winston […]

This week, I’m joined by Doug Coleman, of Pixelsculptures. We chat about shooting with models, and going on random road trips. Doug has also, over the last 18 months, guided Susan MacNeill on her photographic journey, taking her from complete noobie to multi-award-winner. We talked about trying to shoot (as in, photograph… obviously!) wedge-tailed eagles […]
