Ep. 041: Did Ya Hear About That New Camera? Subscribe via iTunes, Google Play, email or RSS!   Thank you for listening to the No Name Photo Show!   Connect with Brian Matiash and Sharky James on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook (all @NoNamePhotoShow).   Did we mention SUBSCRIBE?!!! Please? ;)   August and September have been quite busy months for the camera industry. Whereas we've mostly become accustomed to hearing about new cameras and lenses from Sony, lately it has been Nikon, Canon, and Fujifilm who have been making waves. And you know what? We couldn't be happier! The fact of the matter is that competition is a great thing, especially for consumers. It requires manufacturers to be on their toes by offering innovative products, compete with pricing, and provide users with options. And with Sony cornering the market with full-frame mirrorless cameras for so long, having some real competition has been long overdue. So, we thought that it'd be fun to devote an entire episode to discussing what Canon and Fujifilm have just announced along with putting our ears to the ground around a possible new entrant with Panasonic. These are interesting times to be a photographer, that's for sure! Tweet your questions and topics with #AskNNPS!

In the off chance that you haven't heard, then all you need to do is listen to this episode. As an added bonus, we're thrilled to welcome Mike Olbinski back to the show! For those who don't remember, Mike was our very first guest back on Episode 10. Between Sharky, who is a Nikon shooter, Mike, a Canon shooter, and me, a Sony shooter, you can be sure that there are plenty of opinions being thrown around. Before you dig in, we want to make sure you take a minute to check out Mike's amazing work at his website. Be sure to take a few minutes to watch Mike's video, Pursuit, which just took Second Place at the Festival Internacional de Time Lapse!

Unless, of course, you don't care about copyright protection for photographers getting tossed into the garbage. Then, you may coast through this episode cool as a cucumber. But, our hunch is that this is a topic that's important to all of you. Our first story involves a judge who had a wildly dubious opinion on the use and enforcement of copyrighted photos, and whose ruling could have serious repercussions for photographers down the road. Fortunately, there has been no shortage of people blasting the judge for the myopic opinion. We'll see what happens there. Our second story is all about photographers doing dumb things and is sadly laced with some tragic news as a result. Still, we turn things around with a happy and cheery dose of "What's on Your Gear Shelf?", so all is well. We promise. Tweet your questions and topics with #AskNNPS!

Please? ;)   There's something about this episode that is making us really hungry. Maybe it has something to do with our first story involving a photographer and White Castle's somewhat uncouth digital marketing team. But don't you worry. White Castle ended up doing right by the photographer and we're gonna talk about it, as well as our love for their sliders. Don't judge! Our next story involves a very sad tale about a photographer losing her 8-year-old website because of some bumbling errors committed by her hosting company. It's a terrible situation to be in and we really feel for Jenny, the author of this story. Dessert gets served up with a fresh portion of "What's on Your Gear Shelf?"

The last six weeks have been challenging and rather than put out a subpar show, the hosts decided to take a hiatus. They go into very personal detail regarding what has been going on in their lives during the first half of this episode. Then, it's back to business as usual with a new photo story about a photographer who had her entire kit lost (read: stolen) while flying home. It's certainly a cautionary tale.

Can anyone these days hope to make a living as a photographer? The second story deals with gear and can be a bit contentious.

Please? ;)   We've got some great topics ready for you in this episode. Our first story comes from a Petapixel story covering a wonderful video by Jamie Windsor. In Jamie's video, he ties an interesting study called the Dunning-Gruger effect to the mentality of when bad photographers think they're good. What's wonderful is the way that Jamie approaches the subject and it makes for a great conversation that everyone can relate to. Our next topic is dedicated to those photographers looking to add a little extra passive income from their work. It's not about getting rich but it may make buying that new lens or taking that trip a bit easier on the wallet. All that and a fresh portion of "What's on Your Gear Shelf?" round out Episode 32.

Please? ;)   Greetings, friends, and welcome to a new episode! It seems that several times a year, some new app or accessory comes out and makes us think whether mobile photography could actually be a viable alternative or—gasp—replacement for traditional cameras. Mobile phone manufacturers certainly are spending millions upon millions of dollars in R&D and design all centered on that tiny camera sensor or lens (or lenses, depending on the phone you own). And of this, an entire industry of mobile camera accessories has been created, allowing photographers and videographers to eek out as much creative opportunity as possible from these pocket systems. That covers the first topic of the show. Next, Sharky and Brian discuss their views on whether it's important for photographers to manage their own blogs/websites. With so many people sharing work on social media, the question begging to be asked is, "is there a point to investing time and money to manage your own site?" It's a timely and important topic for sure. All that and a new installment of "What's on Your Gear Shelf?" will call this episode complete. Enjoy! Tweet your questions and topics with #AskNNPS!

Please? ;)   Let's be honest with each other. A lot of what we call social media today has more to do with static than signal and it seems that it's harder than ever for photographers who are working to "make it" online. Being a great photographer barely takes care of the cover charge to get into the club. Now, you've got a performance charge and don't forget about the two drink minimum. All of this is to say that what some photographers have turned to in order to catch some moments in the limelight don't sound very sustainable in the long run. Some are ok with paying to get in front of large crowds. Others decide to cut their losses altogether and remove themselves from the social media sphere. In Episode 30, we're covering stories about both, so pull up a seat and stay a while. We've also got the smooth stylings of "What's on Your Gear Shelf?" to close out the show. Enjoy!

In Episode 30, we're covering stories about both, so pull up a seat and stay a while. We've also got the smooth stylings of "What's on Your Gear Shelf?" to close out the show. Enjoy!

Please? ;)   Episode 29 is coming at ya and we're talking about two hot-button topics: gear and piracy. Our first story has to do with the ongoing debate as to whether the days of the dSLR camera are numbered. After seeing mirrorless camera companies like Sony and Fuji dominate sales and aggressively release powerful and capable cameras, it's hard not to think that dSLRs are on their way out. Sales have been down and camera companies like Canon and Nikon have been slow to release innovative new products. Still, we wouldn't count either of them out of the fight just yet. Our next topic comes from F-Stoppers and photographer, Elia Locardi. After seeing their highly-produced premium videos get pirated and distributed via BitTorrents, these guys decided to shine a light on the negative impacts of stealing software by releasing their own torrented tutorial. The act itself was pretty brilliant and it gave us a lot to discuss. As if that isn't enough, we round things out with a new "What's on Your Gear Shelf?" and call it good.

And that's what today's episode is all about. We're covering two stories about photographers who may not have exercised good judgment in one way or another and what the response has been as a result. In our first story, we discuss a photographer, Mercer Harris, and his choice of pairing little ducklings and bunnies with infants and toddlers for his annual Easter shoots. While this, in and of itself, may cause you to look sideways, the public response has been despicable. Our next story involves 64-year-old photographer, Michael Warnock, and 22-year-old model, Chelsea Guerra, who pled guilty to holding a nude photo shoot in the morning at, get this, a strip mall. Alas, this is what some forms of normal looks like these days, folks. So, we've got all that and a fresh portion of "What's on Your Gear Shelf?" to round things out. Enjoy!

The stories covered in this episode share the theme of branding and how some photographers choose to market their brands. Our first story involves a photographer whose brand is used to limelight and controversy. We're talking, of course, about Peter Lik and the recent confirmation that he had composited a recent super moon photo even though his initial description made no such claim. The second story comes from a video shared by Youtuber and photographer, Jessica Kobeissi. Despite billing herself as a professional photographer and resource, she made the tragic—and rookie—mistake of no maintaining any sort of backup for her work. So, when her sole external hard drive crashed while traveling, she had to cough up $4,000 to recover the data. How does this even happen anymore, people?

Messages about the importance of body-positivity can be seen spreading everywhere, and today's girls and young women need to hear it more than ever. We continue to see onslaughts of preened and manicured photo streams, showcasing picture-perfect moments taken at picture-perfect locations and including picture-perfect bodies. All of this has taken a toll on today's youth, so when a company like CVS decides to take action by banning the use of photoshop on any beauty product photos, it deserves to be recognized. Sadly, not everyone has gotten the memo, and we talk about that, too. Next up, Brian and Sharky share thoughts and best practices to keep in mind when considering joining a photography workshop.

To start, Brian and Sharky bring up a thoughtful article about whether we, as photographers, are experiencing an over-sharing epidemic. While the title of this PetaPixel article may be a bit melodramatic, there are some reasonable points that author, Caleb Kerr, makes about our tendency to want to capture everything happening at every moment and from every angle. While the crux of Caleb's article stems from 360-degree cameras, we feel that it can be applied to other forms of image and video capture. Next, your hosts cover a peculiar story about Canon EMEA using a clearly composited photo with a large component coming from a photo taken by Elia Locardi. There are a lot of moving parts to this one, so definitely give it a listen. Finally, we've got another solid entry in our "What's On Your Gear Shelf?" series. Enjoy!

Please? ;)   Here we are! A new year, a new episode (#20!) and a new guest. With all the resolutions and goals that photographers make, we thought it'd be a great time to dive into the role that social media plays with how we share our work and build our brands. To help bring that conversation to life, we're thrilled to introduce our next guest host, Colby Brown! Usually, each episode consists of two topics but because there was so much great chatter about how social media affects today's photographers, we decided to devote the entire show to it. If you've been looking for ways to help improve how you utilize social media with your photography, definitely listen to this show.

Please? ;)   Alas, friends, we have reached the final episode of 2017. The rate at which this show has grown since we first kicked things off in August still boggles our minds and we can't thank all of you enough. Seriously, all of you listeners drive us to put out the best show possible every week because we understand that the most precious resource you have is time and we want you to feel that it is well spent. As we continue growing into 2018 and beyond, we'd love to ask you for another 90 seconds of your time by filling out this user survey. This information is very helpful in letting us understand who our audience is and your participation is greatly appreciated. Ok, onto the show! Our first topic was inspired by a poll that Sharky created on his Instagram stories (follow Sharky and Brian on IG), where he asked how people felt about their photography pursuits in 2017. The results were surprising enough for us to want to dig deeper in. We then follow that up with the bit of news making the rounds regarding Apple and their intentional throttling of older iPhone speeds. Is it warranted? Do these class action lawsuits filed against Apple have merit? Listen up to find out! Finally, we put a bow on our final episode of the year with a fresh portion of "What's On Your Gear Shelf?" Tweet your questions and topics with #AskNNPS! Show Notes • Don't forget to take 90 seconds and complete our Annual listener survey. We greatly appreciate it! [via Libsyn] • Sharky was curious about whether 2017 was a good year for people's photography pursuits. The results were surprising! • Brian mentioned that 2017 was the weakest year for photography in almost 10 years. However, he did discuss some of his 2018 resolutions [via matiash.com] • The original Reddit thread that ultimately resulted in Apple making an official statement acknowledging intentional throttling of iPhone processor clock speeds [via reddit.com] • That thread led to an informative Geekbench article, which clearly illustrated Apple's throttling of iPhone --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nonamephotoshow/message

"What the heck are these jokers even talking about?" is something that you reasonably may be asking yourselves regarding that statement, right? So let us tell you. Let's say you have the ability to share 100 photos with your audience at the same time, should you? Photo sharing site, 500px, doesn't think so. In fact, they've taken steps to actively restrict how many photos you can share (with a free account) and we applaud them for it. Listen up to understand why. We follow this up with a tough topic as it relates to major photo blog sites and whether they're doing more harm than good under the guise of being "journalists" and "news sources". Heavy stuff, right? Well, let's lighten that load with another solid installment of "What's On Your Gear Shelf?" and call it good. High fives all around!

Please? ;)   It's sorta wild that we've made it to Episode 15! You could say we've quindecupled our episode output. In this episode, your hosts tackle a story recently shared on PetaPixel about a photographer who used a national home improvement store location as the set for a photo shoot. The results turned out beautiful but there were some larger questions about whether it should have happened in the first place that we wanted to bring up. It's a solid story and we think you'll enjoy it. That's followed by the first in what we're hoping is a growing series that we're calling #AskNNPS. We received a thoughtful question via Twitter from a listener and we felt it was certainly worth a segment on the show. We're hoping that you take advantage of this by tweeting us your own questions or topics using #AskNNPS. We'll happily cover our favorites, so keep the suggestions coming! Show Notes • Our first story begins with a post that the original photographer and post author, Jenna Martin, shared [via PetaPixel] • Sharky brought up that the story had been shared over 53,000(!) times since recording. It has been re-shared over 59,000 times as of drafting this post. • The story had also been picked up by global news outlets, including in the UK [via the Daily Mail] • While we shared our thoughts on the matter, we both agreed that Jenna is a helluva photographer and we would like to share her amazing underwater photography [via Jenna Martin Photography] • The hosts then segue to the first in a new series called #AskNNPS. Show listener, Martin Greenaway, tweeted to the hosts about their thoughts on upgrading to a new camera system after outgrowing an existing entry-level setup [via Twitter] • Post cover photo [Dayne Topkin via Unsplash]   What's On Your Gear Shelf?
