    Q&A #1 | PPN | June 10th, 2017 Jun 12, 2017
    Show notes

    Host Scott Bourne @ScottBourne

    Co-Host Rick Sammon @ricksammon

    Companies mentioned during the show:

    American Frame - https://www.americanframe.com

    Rick's website - www.ricksammon.com

    Question 1:

    We are doing the standard-traditional-old frame + mat + print. We would love to hear what you have to say about display options. Do you always need a mat? What about printing with a large white border instead of a mat ... do suppliers do that ... is it suitable for display? What other display options should we be considering as opposed to the standard old frame-mat-print?

    From Jim in Vancouver, BC

    Question 2:

    I noticed that some of Scott's photos look like paintings. What software do you use to accomplish that goal?

    We received this question from several people, thanks to Michael, Glenn, Dave, Wendy and Sam

    Question 3:

    I like to photograph people who run hospitals. I photograph board members, etc. I am trying to expand that business and am looking for ideas on how to get hired by more hospitals to make portraits of their execs.

    From Keith in Sitka, AK

    Question 4:

    I have heard many different viewpoints on the difference in DOF/Bokeh on full-frame cameras v. M43/APS-C cameras. Is the amount of light that passes through the lens at say f/8 the same on all formats?

    From Ellen in Los Angeles

    Question 5:

    I know that many of the folks like you have written and published photography books or had your images used in newspapers, books, magazines, etc. How does someone get noticed in today's world where everyone has a camera?

    From Barb in Laughlin, NV

    Question 6:

    I hear that pros only shoot RAW. Is there ever a case for pros only shooting JPEGs?

    From David in Brooklyn, NY

    Question 7:

    Scott always says as camera to subject distance decreases, so does DOF. Can you explain that a little bit more and are there any exceptions at all?

    From Russ in Macon, GA

    Question 8:

    I primarily do street photography and have just bought my first mirrorless camera, a Fuji X100F. I love it but am experiencing an issue I don't get with my DSLR and that is motion blur. On the street in daylight I try to use 1/200th min shutter speed and have never had a problem with motion blur on the DSLR with people walking past. I have had several instances with the X100F where the person is sharp but a foot or hand blurs. Is this "a thing" with mirrorless shutters ?

    From Warwick (North Avoca, NSW Australia)

    Question 9:

    Should people use electronic shutter or mechanical shutters? I have heard that the use of electronic shutters can cause problems with third party lenses and also can cause what's called rolling shutter.

    We received this question from several people, thanks to Jack, Ken, Jim and George

    Question 10:

    I'd like to get into digital medium format to shoot portraits. But what I want to achieve is that special look I see in old 6x6 or 6x7 film portraits. There is a kind of look, perspective or DOF to those, almost a "3D" look, that I can not see reproduced by modern digital medium format prints. Why is that so? Is there a way to achieve that look with digital medium format cameras?

    From Luciano Santo in Brazil

    Question 11:

    How important is it to get the flash off camera given the large number of flash diffusers you can now buy that allow flash shooters to create special effects. Is it still important to get the flash off the camera?

    From Dereck in Portland, OR

    Question 12:

    How do you know where to find wildlife - especially birds. I noticed Scott is able to photograph birds just about anywhere. I don't see many birds where I live - or any wildlife for that matter. Is there a trick I am missing?

    From Elliot in Memphis, TN


    Camera and Inspiration #2 | PPN | May 30th, 2017 May 30, 2017
    Show notes

    On the "Camera and Inspiration" show, Scott and Marco talk about inspiration in photography and try to help you to take your camera out with more intent. On this episode they cover the following topics: โ€‹

    • Marco picks this month inspirational photographer: Fan Ho (1931 - 2016) Chinese photographer, actor and film director. He is known as the Cartier-Bresson of the East. Please check out his amazing photographs here: http://www.fanhophotography.com/index.html
    • As Scott and Marco are both believers that a photo isn't finished until it has been printed, they have decided to focus this episode on having your images printed by a pro lab.
    • Marco interviewed Marieke Goethe, PR Director of White Wall Lab (www.WhiteWall.com). White Wall has just been awarded "Best Photo Lab Worldwide" by the TIPA awards 2017. White Wall also produces the limited art prints for the Lumas galleries (www.LUMAS.com). So with just a few steps, you can have your images produced in art gallery quality.
    • Scott's inspirational photo book of the month is called: William Eggleston "Guide". The book contains the first color photographs that were accepted by the art world and displayed in many museums. The body of work contains images that may seem to document the banality of ordinary objects and daily life and can be an inspiration for anyone who thinks that there is nothing interesting to photograph in their neighborhood.

    • Listener Michael shared a helpful product for Fuji X-Pro2 users who are affected by the "eyecup gate". The company JJC produced aftermarket standard rubber eyecups for the X-Pro2 (EX-XPRO) and even a version for people who wear glasses (EF-XPROG).
    • Olympus introduced firmware updates for the E-M1 Mark II, E-M5 Mark II and PEN-F as well as some updates for lenses.

    Camera and Inspiration #1 | PPN | April 30th, 2017 Apr 30, 2017
    Show notes

    On the "Camera and Inspiration" show, Scott and Marco talk about inspiration in photography and try to help you to take your camera out with more intent. On this episode they cover the following topics:

    • A warm welcome to the new "Camera and Inspiration" episode at Photo Podcast Network.
    • Scott picks this month inspirational photographer: Diane Arbus (1923 - 1971) American photographer and photojournalist. She is known as one of the early photographers to focus on "marginalized" people of society. Her "An Aperture Monograph" book is one of the most sold photo books in history. And the movie "Fur" (2006, starring Nicole Kidman) tells a fictional version of her life. Do check Diane's work out, she was a true master and still is an inspiration to today's photographers.
    • Why are we so attached to photography? We talk about the documentary gene that make people want to record their daily lives for future generations - dating back to the cave man.
    • Scott shares some tips to help photographers become better at the craft of photography by following some simple advises that he wished he had known when he started with photography:
    • Pay attention to the background.
    • Know your gear backwards and forwards.
    • Wait on the light.
    • Slow down.
    • Get to know your subject REALLY well.
    • Marco's inspirational photo book of the month is called: MOONFIRE by Norman Mailer and is published by TASCHEN (350 pages ca. US-$ 40 / EUR 30). The book documents the probably single most historic event of the 20th century: The moon landing of Apollo 11 on July 20th, 1969. The book has an amazing image quality for 1969 film photography! It's a well-structured visual documentary of the events that lead to the moon landing.
