Episode 353 – Now with chapter markers

This week, Glynn talks the Isuzu D-Max shoot.
Tony White told us about Luminar, a new “Lightroom-for-dummies” RAW converter,
and alerted us to Keegan, your online photo coach.
Rakesh shared the video of light travelling through water in ultra-slo-mo.
Adam Davidson and David Marland both wrote in regarding the chilled Nikon D5500.
Yeah, I know the article said “cooled”…. 🙂
David Marland then went on to discuss other astro-photography options, including the “pay more, get less” option of the ATIK4000.
David then reviews another book for us. This week, it’s The Weekend Photographer.
Rob Coates took us to task over our inability to spot sarcasm. Well played, good sir.
Glynn, trying to make ammends with Carl Hemmings offered up Nikon’s new 19mm tilt shift lens.
He’s looking into more portable storage options for travelling, including the Flashporter,
and the gnarbox.
Note: As I’m writing up these show notes, the gnarbox site appears to be down. Hopefully, that’s only a temporary thing.
Finally, you can shoot like Ansel Adams!
And for those who need to get their camera airborne, check our the DJI Mavic.

WARNING – Technical discussion ahead!

This week’s episode title refers to the fact that this mp3 file has been embedded with chapter markers.
This is a little-known and under-utilised extension of the ID3 v2.3 tag specification.
If you are using a podcast client which correctly reads the tags, you will be able to not only see the chapters, but jump directly to that section of the mp3. Pretty cool, huh?
I don’t know how many podcast clients support the feature, but the one I’m using on my phone (‘Podcast and Radio Addict’ on Android) certainly does.
Let me know if this works for you, or if you experience any downside because of this added feature. There shouldn’t be any downside, though. Players which don’t support the tags should simply ignore them and play as per usual.

Comments will be closed after 30 days.

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.
