Welcome to podccast # 103. In the news, Bliss - the default image in Windows XP is probably the most viewed image ever created and the original photographer has been reveled and the location just north of San Francisco. A new 4x5 camera has been released for only $149. OK, it is a film pinhole camera, but will take regular lenses and even a poloroid back - if you can get the film! It is official now, cats and attractive women increase the popularity of images. Tune in to learn more!
In today's podcast, Jim recorded a 20 hour timelapse of a monarch caterpillar as it forms it chrysalis. Jim is also making his ebook on timelapse shooting available for free at www.thefotobug.net. Jim also created a video tutorial on layer stacking in Photoshop for light painting images and we present that tutorial in this podcast. You are free to share your light painting images with us and if you have questions, please email them to jim@thefotobug.com.
