I Missed a Few Shots, But I'm OK - TDS Photography Podcast

Jan 20 2025 33 mins

I arrived in Costa Rica with two pieces of carry-on luggage. People asked me, "Where's the rest of your stuff?" "This is my stuff!" I replied. I had two cropped sensor cameras, a moderate telephoto, and a couple of compact zooms - not exactly the heavy artillery required for photographing howler monkeys high in the jungle canopy. And yet, I did OK. Tune in for the inside scoop on t

Holiday Hangover - TDS Photography Podcast

Jan 06 2025 31 mins

How wonderful to have a normal holiday season again! We had no COVID cases in the family, and everyone was ready to mingle. I started in mid-December in So. Cal visiting my sister, and just wrapped up with a New Year's celebration. But now it's time to get back to the grind. But I've seemed to have lost my work mojo. Here's my cure for getting it back. I hope you enjoy the show.

You're Sitting on a Goldmine - TDS Photography Podcast

Dec 30 2024 28 mins

How often do you dig into those images that you've so carefully archived and organized on your computer? When you're in a creative rut, do you ever revisit your own work for inspiration? Why not?! For the last podcast of 2024, it seem appropriate to look back, not at the year in cameras, but at our own pictures. Then think about how to leverage them for new projects. I hope you enj

Dec 23 2024 23 mins

For a photographer, the shortest day of the year, Dec. 21st, means that we only have about 9 hours of light - not much time to get out there and shoot!

How to Print a Holiday Greeting Card - TDS Photography Podcast

Dec 16 2024 34 mins

I like to include a handmade card with all of my holiday gifts. And sometimes, the card is the gift. I just finished printing a batch with my Canon G620 inkjet printer. And the process was easy and productive. I thought that you might find my approach appealing for some holiday output of your own. I tell all in today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

How Did You Fare on Black Friday? - TDS Photography Podcast

Dec 09 2024 28 mins

I survived Black Friday, but just barely. The barrage of camera deals, lens discounts, and alluring accessories that maybe I didn't need, but certainly wanted and were difficult to resist. This week I share with you my Black Friday temptation and my attempts to fight it off. All of that, and more, on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

Making the Case for Using GPS with Travel Photography - TDS Photo Podcast

Dec 02 2024 31 mins

One thing that surprised me this past year when talking to workshop photographers was how few of them were adding location data to their images during capture. I can understand not doing so while taking pictures around the house. But during travel? On this week's podcast, I present my case for making the extra effort. I hope you enjoy the show.
