Shutters Inc – episode 217

This week, I liked a real simple, ‘down-on’the-farm’ approach to keeping the rain off your camera,

I also remembered another of my favourite photography apps, The Photographer’s Ephemeris (iOS, Android, Windows and Mac),

Glynn was impressed and disturbed by the photojournalism series “Syria in Ruins”,

2000 photographic studios shut down in the U.S. this week,

Glynn and Mike Hollman share some tips on getting the best from your memory cards, like:

  • format them IN your camera,
  • only use each card in ONE camera body,
  • keep cards in their plastic boxes when not in a camera,
  • don’t use cheap card readers, and
  • don’t delete images in-camera

Glynn discovered, forgot and then remembered the site Stolen Camera Finder,

and Erin King asked for our thoughts on a rather unfortunate situation her sister and brother-in-law have found themselves in.

** Last minute update **

Swung by my local Bunnings yesterday and they did in fact have a huge collection of the Craftright cases Glynn mentioned last week, so I picked up the 46cm (medium) one. $40 well spent, I say!
You may not be able to see in full detail, but I’ve kitted it out to hold:

  • 3x Yongnuo flashes
  • 3x plastic flash base plates
  • 1x Minolta hotshoe adaptor
  • 1x Flashwave trigger
  • 2x Flashwave receivers
  • 4x ball head lightstand attachments
  • 2x umbrella stand heads
  • 1x pocket for miscellaneous doo-dads (like speedstraps)

I have been a professional audio engineer since the mid 80's and am happy to do for free in my spare time what I get paid to do during the week. I created Shutters Inc in May 2005, and it is today (as best as I can tell) THE longest-running photography podcast in the world.
