Photofocus Podcast with Scott Bourne and Chase Jarvis

I just had a chance to read the show notes for the most recent Photofocus Podcast with hosts Scott Bourne and Chase Jarvis, and found the information to be excellent. Both hosts offered great information about these topics and more:

• Lens selection for different uses
• Ideal sizes for Apple Aperture catalogs (number of images)
• Video techniques with the new DSLR’s that have video, such as the Canon EOS 7D
• How to deal with condensation in cold weather

You can listen to the show and/or read the show notes on the show’s website HERE.

While you’re there, you’ll see a lot of great episodes with Scott Bourne and Rick Sammon, as well as a lot of other helpful advice from folks who’ve “been there and shot that.”
