Episode 548 – Drones going where no man has gone for 7000 years

This week, Bruce has been bingeing on some Gerald Undone videos on youtube, including this brilliant explanation of depth-of-field.
The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition is on now at Sydney’s National Maritime Museum, and will be there until the end of October.
Philip Johnson told us about the crazy story of a woman who felt that because she had divorced her husband, she was entitled to a refund on her wedding photography! Yeah, sure!
Glynn found an interesting new piece of AI-driven software, Opticull, which promises to speed up the sorting and selection of keeper images from your shoot. If this lives up to the hype, it’ll be a dream for wedding photographers and anyone else who shoots large quantities of images.
He also found this fantastic collection of landscape images celebrating the beauty of Scotland. And what makes this collection extra special is just how ‘normal’ they appear. No excessive potatoshopping here!
And the amazing story of the drone pilots in Spain who flew their drones into a series of caves which are inaccessible on foot… and found cave paintings that have most likely not been seen since they were painted 7000 years ago!

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.
