Episode 330 – Goodbye again

This week,
Glynn responds to David Marland’s “Agree Disagree” comments,
apparently, everything is horrible, or at least it appears that 80’s portraiture was, anyway!,
although a guy called Dean Collins had a handle on it.
You could buy 6 hours of his lighting training on DVD for US$150,
or you could just jump on youtube.
Lytro decides it’s time to rethink their core business, and it’s not lightfield cameras.
Which reminded me about the coming-soon action movie, Harcore Henry, which is shot almost entirely in the first person (which I said on the podcast was ENTIRELY shot that way, but that is not the case).
Peter Stewart has published a bunch of his shots, both before and after post-production.
I came across a collection of images that was intriguing. Glynn wasn’t so impressed, but are you surprised by that?
In the last week or so, we’ve all heard about Adobe jacking up the price of Creative Cloud for Australian subscribers because of the fall in the exchange rate. This prompted David Marland to ask if it wasn’t time for another discussion about alternatives to LR/PS.
Which led me to a site called, surprise surprise…. alternativeto.net!
They’ve got suggestions for LR alternatives, and PS alternatives. But you can also enter the name of any other software to get more suggestions.
I also found another list of alternatives.
Adam told us about the post that claims Sony’s dive into mirroless cameras with 35mm sensors was a “fatal” mistake.
But the Sony fans hit back.
Plus there was the guy who wanted to light not one, but two “Flying Bulls” acrobatic planes whilst they were in the air!
Grant Palmer alerted us to one of the many April Fools pranks doing the rounds this week.
Steve Peters wants us to consider the possibility that we photographers are a grumpy bunch.
We want your images to critique. And to get the ball rolling, Glynn critiques 6 of his own images from India.

I have been a professional audio engineer since the mid 80's and am happy to do for free in my spare time what I get paid to do during the week. I created Shutters Inc in May 2005, and it is today (as best as I can tell) THE longest-running photography podcast in the world.
