Episode 512 – Lockdown and other crappy things

This week, Carl Hemmings told us about an interview with cycling-racing photographer Graham Watson, talking about his 40 year career of following pro cycling riders on a back of a motorbike.

David Marland alerted us to the photography group in Tasmania providing people with disabilities the tools to share a new perspective.

Paul Sutton shared a heap of stories, including one about Lexar’s new memory card format;

a reminder that if you own a Western Digital My Book Live device, you really should disconnect it from the interwebz, like yesterday! There’s a security vulnerability which could see you lose all your data;

Destin did a video on his youtube channel, Smarter Every Day, about just how analogue film works. Of course, Glynn was able to simplify the message in his inimitable style;

the LargeSense ls911 large format digital camera;

Norway has made it an offence to post an image online (for commercial purposes) without disclosing when retouching of any kind has taken place. For once, Glynn and I are in agreement, and look forward to this attitude spreading further around the globe;

and some tips for taking better bird photos.

Glynn told us about Gemstone, a new multi-layer image editing solution (think: photoshop replacement) from Acdsee;

the photography workshop leader who has banned 18-55mm kit lenses from her workshops. Justified, or wide of the mark?

Brickits is an iOS app (Android version allegedly coming Q3, 2021) which, when pointed at a pile of Lego, will identify what pieces you have, and what you could build with them! Pretty cool use of AI.
