Welcome to the final podcast of 2014! In recent news, the world's most expensive photograph just sold for $6.5 million dollars. It is a photo of a slot canyon photographed by fine arts photographer Peter Lik. In other news, Adobe has acquired Fotolia and will offer it to it's Creative Cloud customers as well as a stand-alone service. Could JPG be replaced as an image standard? Well, BPG is a new format that wants to be the next JPG. It is a 14-bit format that currently can only be read by a javascript encoder, but has a lot of advantages over the current JPG format.
Since the last podcast, Jim and Fred joined Jason Hahn at the Outdoor Photo Workshops Birds of Prey workshop in north central Florida. Jim's photo above was photographed during that workshop. Jim and Fred talk to Jason about the 2015 workshops from OPW (www.outdoorphotoworkshops.com) as well as the upcoming Tampa Bay Photo Shootout coming up in April. Registration is now available at www.thephotoshootout.com. We recommend you sign up now!
