Rob's Recommendation: The Camera Store Ron's Recommendation: Collin Michael Jeff's Recommendation: Boiler Room & This Old House Julie's Recommendation: Meidas Touch & Simon d'Entremont Show notes https://www.thecamerainsider.com/2023/11/05/sony-a9-iii-what-we-know https://www.3dglassesonline.com/how-to-prepare-for-the-best-solar-eclipse-experience Use coupon code "Photofocus" for a discount on Rob's course About your hosts Jeff Cruz is a Calgary lens-based artist known for creating abstract and surreal photographs by incorporating time and movement into his images. The attraction to a Jeff Cruz photograph is similar to the attraction of a Colour Field painting; an abstract style that emerged in New York City during the post-war era. Jeff's work places less emphasis on location in favor of color and form. The color and camera movements create the subject. Jeff's long-term project of photographing electronic music events, the evolution of raves to music festivals has been a passion of his for over 3 decades. He currently is the digital director for a phone repair and accessories company, CaseMogul which allows him to utilize his creative talents. https://linktr.ee/jcruzfoto https://casemogul.com/ Julie Vincent is a Calgary-based real estate and events photographer, and exhibiting artist. Her exhibition projects explore the relationships and struggles between humans and environment, and how those relationships are influenced by culture. Since 2018, Julie has been following Indian Relay around southern Alberta, and into the US, with her colleague and spouse, Jason Lawrence. Julie's exhibitions include a six-year-long, international street photography project, Tripping the Streets Fantastic, and INDIAN. RELAY., an exhibition of extreme Indigenous sport, which introduces relay, and also provides a discussion of terminology. This exhibition was first mounted in Calgary in 2018, and has since travelled to Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido, Washington DC, and in 2024 to Dallas TX. Julie's influences are Mary Ellen Mark, Diane Arbus, and local street photographer, Brian Visser.

For historic Episode 60, we’re joined by returning guest Gregg Cooper, who has a new HDR technique that he’s excited to share. Gregg discusses the Merge to 32-Bit HDR plugin for Lightroom by HDRSoft (the folks who make Photomatix). He explains how it’s a great way to fuse exposures and produce realistic HDR images right in Lightroom! We also discuss the new Flickr, and why we think now is the perfect time to reinvigorate the Disney photography community on Flickr.
In deze aflevering laat ik zien hoe je met een paar simpele basisinstellingen in Lightroom een HDR-achtig beeld kan nabootsen. Voor het echte HDR werk kom je altijd nog terecht bij Photomatix of de HDR pro module van Adobe Photoshop maar in een aantal gevallen geeft dit een net wat creatiever effect.
