Episode 398 – Interrupting Glynn’s nap

Well, this is just weird. I was just preparing this week’s episode (#399) and realised that THIS episode (#398) never actually released 2 weeks ago when it was meant to! So, looks like you’re getting TWO episodes this week! This one off-schedule, and then #399 on Sunday. Enjoy!

 

 

This week, Bruce has finally discovered a Linux app (which also happens to run on Windoze and MacOS) which acts as a Photoshop replacement. Multi-layered documents, vector layers, AND 16 bit file support (which Gimp, sadly, does not support… yet).
The app in question is Krita.
There’s even a section on the page about where Krita is superior to PS.

Rob Coates sent us a link to this video of a drone flight in Russia which alledges to have reached 10,000 meters!
I’m not convinvced it got THAT high, but it certainly was impressive!

Carl has been unfaithful again, listening to OTHER podcasts! Pfft. Really?
He particularly liked this episode of He Shoots, He Draws.

Adam sent us the story of the photographer who sparked an armed manhunt after being mistaken for a ‘sniper’!
And the insect photographer who is suing a pest control company for $2.7 million.

Glynn is pretty excited about the kickstarter campaign for Gnarbox v2.
The guys reached their target in 35 minutes! Pretty impressive!
Also, the lovely folks at Gnarbox are giving us an original Gnarbox to give away alongside episode 400! Woohoo!
We need ideas on how to pick a winner. Throw us your ideas. You know how!

Plus, there’s the story of the Prosthetic Photographer.
I’m still not convinced that this wasn’t an April Fool’s Day joke, although Glynn is of the opinion that it wasn’t.

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.
