New Year! New Podcast! New Format! Focus Ring is Back!

The Candid Frame Photography podcast is a member is The Photocast Network, a loose confederation of podcasts both in English, Spanish and German, all on the topic of photography. It's a great resource for some interesting and engaging shows on our favorite pastime.

We even have our own podcast, but the production of this had been pretty infrequent. So, now I've brought it back with a new format and a new idea.

Four photographers join the conversation with two of their own images to discuss a single topic. I think it will provide an opportunity to turn the conversation from equipment and software, to....wait for it...photographs. What a concept!

The first episode focus on "Shadow and Light" and brings together Jeff Curto (History of Photography & Lens Position), Chris Marquardt (Tips from the Top Floor), Martin Bailey and myself, Ibarionex Perello (The Candid Frame). If we get a good response to the show and format, I intend to continue producing the program once a month. Let me know what you think.

New Video Podcast Featuring Ibarionex

With my the help of my team at Alas Media, we've released the 2nd episode of new video podcast, Shooting with Alas. It's a photography podcast, which is a departure from what I've been doing on The Candid Frame, in which I take you out in the field and you have an opportunity to see me at work. In each episode, I'll discuss some aspect of photography in what I hope will be a fun and exciting way.

You can view the first two episodes by clicking here or please consider subscribing to the show.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments.

All the best.
