anyway two things, i tried to register on the forum, i got no password, and ive tried to get a new password, but have yet to get that to work out.

and I was wondering if I could get some feed back from you two on some of my stuff. im just not sure if I'm feeling like it has the quality to start charging money for. I shot second shooter at 3 weddings, a recieption only, and a graduation last year. And honestly I really enjoyed it. I think im ready to try to jump into lightroom and see if I can start making images at that next level.

my modelmayhem is http://www.modelmayhem.com/streetwise
theres only a few pictures up none wedding, but Im more concerned with the quality of the image than if its in your field or not. and you two have amazing images. so I trust your opinions.

sorry for the length, but if you guys can have a 2 hour podcast I can write a novel.

thanks

ps. you ever need a second in az I'm down.

I was listening to your Wedding show podcast from January, and heard you both mention doing sports photography and other types of photography on some shows, and haven't seen anything like that from you guys. I think it would be really cool to hear about shooting sports or nature photography!

I hope you take this as constructive criticism and nothing else, I really like you guys!

Thanks — Bob

Details:
I love the content. Camera Dojo has become one of 2 “must listen” photography podcasts for me — the other is The Candid Frame.

You were worried initially about length; seems fine to me as each one is packed with ideas — there's not much you could really cut. Some podcasters just arbitrarily chop long episodes into 30 minute or so chunks; that drives me nuts. I have a pause button & know how to use it, thank you!

I haven't worked my way through your entire archive yet, so if you've already fixed my audio issue, please feel free to ignore.

I'm a 50+ engineer, a little hard of hearing (from too many power tools decades ago), and *don't* listen in my office. I listen while I'm driving, or walking in an urban area — in short, in noisy environments. If the volume's too low, I can't understand what's said; yet due to my hearing loss, I'm fanatic about not turning the volume up too high. Unfortunately, that means I have to constantly ride the volume on your podcast — especially when you're doing a phone interview. On those shows, your volume is just all over the place. I understand the difficulty in getting really clean audio on a phone interview, & have no problem accepting the reduced sound quality — that's often not under your control. But you have complete control over the volume. You need something like a noise gate & compressor — perhaps even something as simple as Levelator (which is free, and about as simple to use as you could possibly ask). It would *dramatically* improve the “listenability” of your podcasts. I don't know what you're doing now for this, but whatever it is just isn't working.

First I would like to say that it is great what you all are doing for the photography community and spreading all the tips and tricks you've learned throughout the years. It's definitely appreciated and I've been a subscriber and dedicated listener to the Camera Dojo podcast for quite a while. Keep up the great work!!!

I just listened to your discussion on contracts again (in you talk about wedding photography), and I wanted to know if you had a template or sample contract that you guys use? In the podcast, you said that the one you use has been working for you, and I just wanted to have an idea of where to start and what other people were doing.

Thanks a ton!!

Thanks for the last podcast, another very interesting interview. For me the only thing lightroom is missing by now is not be able to use video in slideshow, not have other forms of saving slideshows other than pdf or jpeg and I really miss a book desing menu for designing and printing books and albums. With that I would do almost 90% of my workflow in lightroom as I also do my cients webgalleries with lightroom. The other 10% would be some photoshop major editing.

I also would like to hear more about business matters, maybe a senior manager that might have new ideas about the future of the photography market.

If you can give me your opinion I would apretiate it very much, or maybe discuss it in a podcast:
- I've changed my website into a web/blog but now I have doubt: In this one I only talk about wedding photography and is my comercial website as a wedding photographer. But I would like to show my personal work (mainly streetphotography). You think I should have just one website or separate things and have 2 websites, one for comercial purposes and other for personal stuff.

By the way where can I send you something by post for you to do a review?

Thanks and keep up!!!

I must say though, I cannot stand the way that both of you act as if you can't be taught any new tricks. Sometimes guests suggest creative ideas or special techniques, and you guys cannot acknowledge their points without hinting to us listeners that you already know this technique and that you are sure that your listeners will learn something. You always let us know in a subtle way that you already knew this. It is irritating. If you are an expert, fine, just please don't keep telling me that your are.

Thank you,
