Mit frischen Gedanken aus dem Kurzurlaub meldet sich Michael heute mit Regen im Kopf. Es geht um Bildbände, Lightroom, Gäste-WC-Lightpainting und Regenschirm-Verrenkungen und vor allem natürlich um die Beschäftigung mit Fotografie in allen Facetten. Wie geht es Euch mit Regenwetter und der Fotografie? Bleibt Ihr lieber drinnen und fürchtet um Euer Equipment? Oder packt Ihr das Tauchgehäuse und die Wathose aus? Wir freuen uns auf Eure Kommentare unter dem Post zur Folge bei Instagram oder in der Freundeskreis-Community!

Kev shares his memories (those he can still recall through cocktail-infused eyes) of the Judo boys-on-tour trip to Gibraltar, and Neale is wrestling with a washing machine that's doing its best to flood the house. Questions for the show include decisions on why to shoot wide open, whether a GFX will cause editing problems on an older iMac, if a GFX can be a decent travel companion, and electronic zoom or zooming in Lightroom - what's less destructive? We're still noodling over AI, we talk about Google Maps, cameras with patina, what art forms inspire your photography and why your pictures may be muddy in post-production.

What does it actually take for a thriving brick-and-mortar to make eCommerce half the business in 12 months? Morgan Lancaster breaks it down—brand, photography, Shopify setup, and the paid traffic engine that flipped the switch.

LW1475 - The Dilemma of Volume I remember a time when the creation of a single outstanding image was enough. In fact, that single great image was the goal. And it still can be. But while we are all still making single images, the mass of images that is building in our Lightroom catalogs is applying a pressure that previous generations could not imagine. This week — admittedly a spectacular week of fall colors in Colorado — I've added over 700 images of beautiful yellow, orange, red, and gold colored leaves to my asset base. This doesn't count the 900 or so images from previous trips. What do I do with them all?

Photoshop, Lightroom, Capture One, Luminar, Topazlabs, filters, maskers, AI… waar stopt het? In deze aflevering duiken je fotografievrienden Niels en Michiel in het grijze gebied van nabewerking. Is het altijd nodig? Hoe ver ga je? En wat kun je eigenlijk al in je camera doen?We bespreken bewerken versus verbeteren, stijl versus overdaad, en hoe verwachtingen van klanten (of volgers) daar invloed op hebben. Soms zit de kracht in subtiele aanpassingen. Soms moet je gewoon niets doen. En soms is een preset gewoon even lekker makkelijk.

How do you move from showing your art in group exhibitions to building a loyal circle of collectors who not only buy your work but champion it? In this conversation, we dive deep into the lived experience of an artist who has done exactly that. From humble beginnings in group shows to being invited into exhibitions in New York, Japan, and Europe, our guest shares how community, consistency, and serendipity shaped a career sustained not by social media clicks but by human connection. We explore: Building Collectors: How early supporters became long-term champions who now buy new work before it's public. Real-Life vs. Social Media: Why genuine conversations and showing up in person often outperform online likes. Printing Philosophy: Why Moab Luster paper brings photography to life like a “window into reality.” Archiving & Editing: A practical system in Lightroom to organize decades of work while leaving space for rediscovery. Film Revival: How DSLR scanning revolutionized archiving film—fast, precise, and surprisingly affordable.

We zijn er weer! Na een zomer vol specials, fotofairs en vakantiekaartjes is dit de eerste echte aflevering van een nieuw podcastseizoen. Je fotografievrienden Niels en Michiel praten bij: over hun zomer, hun camera's, hun inspiratie, en natuurlijk over of er nog wat moois op de geheugenkaart is beland.En ja hoor – Niels heeft iets nieuws in z'n handen: de Ricoh GR4. Als ambassadeur kreeg hij ‘m al even op proef en deelt z'n eerste indrukken. Is het een gamechanger? Een nichecamera? Of gewoon weer een GR, maar dan net even scherper? Ondertussen blikken we terug op de zomerspecials én kijken we vooruit naar alles wat weer komen gaat.

Wir greifen ein weiteres Mal unser Gespräch von der Hinfahrt nach Den Haag auf (FTG 269) und sprechen über die Bearbeitung der Bilder und unsere veränderte Wahrnehmung dieser. Und darüber, dass sogar die Erinnerung an den Ausflug sich seitdem anders anfühlt als vorher. Wir freuen uns auf Eure Kommentare unter dem Post zur Folge bei Instagram oder in der Freundeskreis-Community!

#589 Nick Church is a seasoned wedding and commercial photographer, educator, and the founder of the Nick Church Creative Academy. With nearly a decade of professional experience, Nick has become recognized for both his creative eye and his commitment to helping other photographers grow in their craft. Having transitioned from the software industry to full-time photography, he brings a unique blend of business acumen and technical expertise to the table.KEY TOPICS COVEREDEvolving Creativity and Staying Motivated in Wedding Photography - Nick explains how shooting countless weddings can make the experience feel routine, but emphasizes the necessity of finding fresh creative approaches and engaging in personal projects for artistic fulfillment. Changing locations, experimenting with new techniques, and even switching camera systems (like using Fujifilm for personal work) can reignite passion and broaden skills.Seven Foundational Rules for Photographers - Nick outlines crucial “rules” every photographer should keep in mind. Topics include:Avoiding GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) by focusing on developing skills before investing in new equipment.Developing a critical eye, always evaluating what works in your images and areas for improvement.Not expecting post-processing to “rescue” fundamentally flawed shots.Transitioning from Hobby to Business - Nick advises beginners aspiring to start a business to focus on visible, authentic self-marketing, sharing their real passion, and building community presence. Technical prowess matters, but connecting with potential clients on a personal level is equally vital.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSGear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS): The compulsion to continually purchase new gear in hopes of improving photography, often without a concrete reason or understanding of how it will address one's actual needs. Nick stresses articulating specific problems with current gear before making a purchase.Shooting with Intention: The practice of planning or visualizing the purpose and effect of each frame—be it emotion, composition, or storytelling—instead of just “snapping” photos. This leads to more impactful and meaningful images.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow can you maintain creative motivation when photographing the same event or venue repeatedly?What steps can you take to evaluate whether a new piece of gear is truly necessary for your photography?Reflect on a recent photo you took: What were you trying to communicate, and did your intention come through?RESOURCES:Visit Nick Church's Website - https://www.nickchurchcreativeacademy.com/Check out the Photographer Unleashed course!

Or just say hello!Adobe is a behemoth when it comes to software for creatives, holding a major share of the market. With over 20 apps designed to do nearly anything you can dream of in the creative realm, it's a tall task to beat Adobe. That being said, there are numerous Lightroom/Photoshop alternatives on the market that can offer lower-cost options that differ in the features they offer. In this week's podcast, I'll tell you why I think Adobe is so hard to beat, as well as cover my favorite alternatives to the world's most popular photo and video editor.Links from this episode:DxO PhotoLab 8Luminar NeoON1 Photo RAW 2026CaptureOneIf you're serious about becoming better at photography, the fastest way to do so is by joining me for an in-person workshop.

Wir sprechen auf dem Weg zum Strand von Katwijk über unsere Erfahrungen am Pier von Den Haag. Dabei stellen wir fest, dass wir mit anderen Erwartungen dort hingefahren sind und stellen ganz am Ende - als Whatsapp-Sprachnachrichten-Austausch - fest, dass wir mit unserer Suche nach dem Bildlook etwas in uns ausgelöst haben. Und dass wir unabgesprochen in eine ähnliche Richtung gegangen sind. Wir freuen uns auf Eure Kommentare unter dem Post zur Folge bei Instagram oder in der Freundeskreis-Community!

SINN UND UNSINN IN DER BILDBEARBEITUNG – VON ANALOG ZU DIGITAL Hey Leute, heute dreht sich mal alles um das Thema Bildbearbeitung, denn die Adobe Expertin Maike Jarsetz ist zu Gast. Maike ist seit den Analogzeiten geschult in Bildbeareitung und gibt jedes Jahr unzählige Schulungen für Fotografen und Grafiker; mit ihren Standartwerken für Lightroom und […]

Für die Sommerferien haben wir uns ein besonderes Ziel für unsere 60 Minuten ausgesucht:
Wir fahren zum Pier von Den Haag in Scheveningen. Wie auf dem berühmten Santa Monica Pier an der Küste vor Los Angeles befindet sich hier ein Freizeit-Pier, das über den Wellen der Nordsee ein markantes Riesenrad und einen Bungee-/Zipline-Tower sowie diverse gastronomische Betriebe beherbergt. Auf dem Weg zu diesem in Europa einzigartigen Ausflugsziel sprechen wir über Bildlooks und Lightroom Presets. Wie ein weniger natürlich-klarer Bildlook die emotionale Übertragung eines Bildes verstärken kann, wie wir dabei vorgehen und warum wir uns meist nicht so weit aus der „normalen“ Bearbeitung eines Bildes hinaustrauen. Wir freuen uns auf Eure Kommentare unter dem zugehörigen Post zur Folge bei Instagram oder in der Freundeskreis-Community!

#586 In Today's Episode of the podcast I chat with YOU as I answer the questions that matter most to photography beginners and enthusiasts who are eager to grow both technically and creatively.This episode is all about addressing real-world challenges that come up when you're starting or growing a photography practice. I share my personal experiences, insights, and favorite tips—especially about balancing a day job with a budding side hustle in photography. I open up about my own journey of building a wedding photography business and the practical strategies I used to manage my time, keep clients happy, and avoid burnout.KEY TOPICS COVEREDStarting a Photography Side Hustle & Workflow Automation - Raymond shares his early struggles balancing a day job with building a portrait and wedding photography business. He highlights the time-saving power of using tools like CloudSpot Studio for automating bookings, contracts, invoicing, and client communication. Key takeaway: automation prevents lost opportunities and allows photographers with limited time to provide a seamless client experience.Editing Style Evolution & Managing Creative Ruts - Addressing questions about losing confidence in editing style, Raymond emphasizes that evolving tastes are normal and even healthy. He encourages experimenting with new edits and using past work to develop a style that feels authentic. Takeaway: feedback is useful, but personal satisfaction with your work is crucial for creative fulfillment.Equipment Choices for Travel, Studio, & Technical Mastery - Through specific gear-related questions, Raymond discusses how to weigh camera options for travel and studio documentation, advocating for a minimalist approach while tailoring choices to the context and desired output. He also offers a deep dive into understanding depth of field and autofocus, demystifying how they interact to produce sharp images. Takeaway: deliberate gear selection and technical competence empower photographers to adapt to any shooting situation.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSDepth of Field (DoF): The range within a photo that appears acceptably sharp, determined by a combination of aperture, focal length, and subject distance. Raymond explains how understanding DoF helps photographers achieve their desired focus in different scenarios, especially when combined with autofocus settings.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow might automating your business workflow free up time for more creative pursuits? What steps can you start implementing now?Have you recently felt dissatisfied with your editing style or creative output? What strategies could help you refresh your perspective?When preparing for a travel or studio shoot, how do you decide what gear is essential versus what might be excess baggage?In what ways has understanding (or misunderstanding) depth of field affected your photography?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,011, August 5, 2025. Today's theme is, "There Is No Single Solution (when it comes to photo software)." I'm Derrick Story. Opening Monologue Photo software is like streaming services. We want just one, but somehow we end up with many. Lightroom, Capture One, ON1, Luminar, Photos, Nitro, DXO - They're all so good! Why can't my favorite shows all be on one service? Well, they're not, and your software isn't either. So we have to construct a workflow that balances the features we want with the software we can afford. And that's the first story on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

HT2337 - File Management and Your Memory I would have never guessed that a huge barrier to my creativity would be as simple as finding the image I remember taking in the haystack that is my Lightroom catalog. It's worse than finding a needle in that haystack, it's searching for one specific needle in a haystack of needles. The best advice I've heard about this challenge is to assess how your own memory works and build your organization to fit your brain.

Editing more efficiently in Lightroom, using AI thoughtfully in your food photography, and developing a visual aesthetic that's uniquely yours with Roberta Dall'Alba. ----- Welcome to episode 529 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Roberta Dall'Alba. In this podcast interview, Bjork and Roberta discuss the importance of having your own distinct style or photography aesthetic to build your brand and why editing is such an essential part of this process. Roberta is an incredible food and travel photographer (trust me, you need to check out her food photographs!) and was a 2023 Lightroom Ambassador. Needless to say, she has spent a lot of time experimenting with Lightroom. Roberta dives into how she approaches editing food photos with integrity, efficiency, and her own unique style. From navigating AI tools responsibly to building a signature look in Lightroom, she offers practical tips to help creators stay authentic while working smarter. This is an excellent interview to help you take your photography and editing to the next level. Three episode takeaways: How to use AI thoughtfully in food photography and editing — Roberta shares her approach to using generative AI tools in editing. While she's open to retouching photos, she avoids adding anything artificial, always considering if edits will help readers successfully replicate the recipe and/or align with her values. Efficient editing leads to better results — Roberta walks through her streamlined Lightroom workflow, from importing and filtering/organizing, to color grading, taking a step back, and final reviews on mobile, to ensure efficient, high-quality results (and to avoid over-editing). Build a visual style that's truly yours — She emphasizes the importance of creating your own presets over buying someone else's, why you should deepen your understanding of color theory, and how to develop editing efficiencies that reflect your brand's unique style.

#584 In this episode of the podcast, I explore the idea that your photos are not broken just because they aren't technically perfect or heavily edited. I share my own experiences as a photographer, reflecting on how the rise of digital editing and AI has made many of us feel like every photo needs to be “fixed” to be worth keeping or sharing. I encourage you to let go of those expectations and to rediscover what made you pick up a camera in the first place—whether it was to slow down, see the world differently, or simply enjoy making images.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Pressure of Perfection and Editing in Modern Photography - Raymond discusses how digital tools, social media, and AI have shifted expectations toward perfection. He challenges the presumption that photos must always be edited, and recalls the joy of simple, unedited film photography. The key takeaway is to let go of perfection and rediscover the fun in photography.Imperfection as Art and Authenticity - The episode illustrates, with anecdotes from Raymond's wedding photography, the value of candid moments (like a flower girl picking her nose), emphasizing that these “flaws” make photos memorable and human. He connects this to the broader theme of authenticity, suggesting that imperfection is what sets human-made images apart from AI-generated ones.Practical Approach: Enjoyment and Mindset Shift (Plork) - Raymond introduces “plork” (play + work). He encourages listeners to shoot for enjoyment, intentionally practicing and experimenting with their cameras rather than working only to “fix” images later. Actionable advice includes shooting JPEGs, skipping editing, and focusing on moments that feel right rather than those that look perfect.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSPlork: A blend of play and work, meaning practicing a craft with a playful, no-pressure attitude. In photography, “plorking” means shooting for enjoyment while still improving your skills—the core mindset Raymond urges listeners to adopt.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSWhen do you feel most pressure to edit your photos, and how does it affect your enjoyment of photography?Can you think of a photo you love because of, not in spite of, its imperfections? Why does it resonate with you?What habits can you adopt to “plork” more during your photography sessions?RESOURCES:Check out the Headway App for book summaries - https://makeheadway.com/Book: "The Creative Act" by Rick RubinBook: "The Dude and the Zen Master" by Jeff BridgesSign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,010, July 29, 2025. Today's theme is, "Still Think Lightroom Is a Lightweight Compared to Classic?." I'm Derrick Story. Opening Monologue When Lightroom CC debuted, it did feel more like a toy than serious software that could challenge its elder Classic sibling. But things have changed over the years, and the Cloud version, now just called Lightroom, has some serious chops. So much so, that it's now a legitimate rival to its elder. I'll explain why on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

Kev's off to Spain, so he's understandably winding down, and after spending time photographing 22 priests, it's probably just the break he needs. On the show, the regular spiky subject of Adobe subscription increases and how we deal with the rises and price of life, plus are there alternatives to popular platforms like Lightroom and Photoshop? Also, what can be improved with new cameras, they're all practically perfect aren't they, so is it worth constantly updating our cameras? Sony v Fujicast focusing, London's upcoming Fujikina event, storing jpeg recipes, is social media replacing the need for a website, and is it worth buying an X-Pro3 in 2025?

Fujifilm's new X-Half camera is a curious hybrid: a digital camera with analog feel but a modern price. We also discuss news of OM Systems possibly using AI upscaling in future cameras to boost resolution and look at a few changes in the latest versions of Lightroom.

HT2321 - Proprietary RAW vs DNG I'm not a fan of proprietary file formats. It seems to me that they have a way of putting our content at risk. I'm not comfortable with that. Instead, I use the open source DNG format for my working images in my Lightroom catalog. I do keep, however, all the original RAW camera files on backup hard drives just in case a future generation DNG converter adds features that I might find useful.

#580 In Today's Episode of the podcast I chat with YOU as I tackle listener-submitted questions for our monthly Photo Q&A session. We cover a variety of challenges that many beginner photographers run into—from understanding the difference between RAW and JPEG files, managing noise in corporate event shots, to building a strong portfolio through strategic “model calls.” I'll also share practical insights on why your photos might look different across devices or editing programs, when to use settings like aperture priority or manual mode, and how to set up and communicate a successful portfolio shoot. Plus, we'll get into deeper topics like how to price your work as a new photographer and whether AI editing tools are changing the value of getting things right in-camera. KEY TOPICS COVEREDRAW vs. JPEG & Display Differences - Raymond explains why photos often appear different on camera screens or phones compared to Lightroom. He outlines the technical reasons, including how cameras display a JPEG preview even for RAW shots, and how monitor quality and calibration affect perceived color and contrast. He demystifies RAW editing and encourages beginners to experiment with JPEGs if extensive editing isn't required.Shooting Busy Events & Managing Noise - Responding to a question on noisy corporate event shots, Hatfield stresses the relationship between noise, ISO, and light quality. He recommends using manual mode for full ISO control and explains the importance of understanding light “quality vs. quantity” rather than relying solely on semi-automatic modes like aperture priority.Model Calls & Portfolio Building - Practical guidance is given for running a “model call” to expand one's portfolio. Raymond highlights where and how to recruit volunteer models (or clients), setting clear expectations, the value exchange, and strategies to ensure you're showcasing desired styles or filling portfolio gaps.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSRAW (Image Format): An unprocessed file that retains all data captured, offering maximum flexibility for editing, though often appearing flat until processed.Model Call: A public invitation (often via social media) for volunteers to participate in portfolio shoots, typically in exchange for free or discounted images.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSConsidering your current portfolio, what “gaps” could you fill with targeted model calls?How does understanding RAW vs. JPEG workflows shape your approach to in-camera settings and post-processing?Reflect on your pricing strategy: What personal factors (time, opportunity cost) might you consider before setting rates?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

HT2316 - Photography and My Morning Coffee Routine I start every day, 7 days a week, with photography — and my morning cup of coffee. I find that first half hour or so when the house is quiet and I'm not fully awake to be an ideal time to think about photography, brainstorm projects, and even visualize specific images. I don't sit in front of my computer and work in Lightroom or Photoshop, but rather let my mind warm up to the day while I try to be aware of whatever creative impulses bubble up.

On today's episode we take a virtual trip to the moon!   Created by Lightroom and Paquin Entertainment Group, The Moonwalkers is debuting in Boston this summer.  It is a thrilling an video experience brought to life using rare NASA archival footage, cutting-edge spatial audio, and moving storytelling by the one and only Tom Hanks who also co-wrote the piece.  My conversation with CEO Richard Slaney of Lightroom will whet your appetite for adventure!  Find out more at www.lightroomexperiences.com.

LW1458 - Lessons in Editing In 2009, I visited an exhibition in China that included some 1,500 photographs. I learned two things in the presence of such a firehose of images. First, good work does not elevate the whole, but the whole can drag the good work down to its level. Second, that exhibition led me to a better way to use Lightroom's star ratings when editing a project.
