This week, Shelton discusses his latest trip to Rockhampton to teach real estate salespeople how to more effectively shoot their properties, more on off-camera flash, and the John Bertrand shoot (pic 1, pic 2). Bruce is planning on using My Reflections to print his photobook of his recent U.S. trip. This week, we heard from John Bell who has put together a very informative video on how to prepare for an aerial photography expedition. Even if you don't plan on doing an aerial shoot, this is well worth watching. Thanks John. And of course, there's the landscape competition. Shelton came up with a corker of a prize!

Shelton answers a listener e-mail about how to best photograph people who are a little on the heavy side, plus he also talks about 'framing' our composition. Also, not mentioned on the podcast, but definitely worth sharing, are these panning shots from Andrew Sanigorski: Recently you guys were talking about blurs and panning the camera to renders moving subjects stationary and I thought I'd share some of the work I've done with you and your listeners/readers which is a bit different as they don't have a central sharp focus and are more concerned with the shapes and natural rhythms I've observed in the landscape. The images (personal work) were exposed for between 1/5th to 3 seconds generally with small apertures to get the type of blurring i was after (of course I could have added an ND filter so wider apertures could be used). The images were pretty much adjusted using camera raw (Bridge) with some very minor PShop tweaking. ...plus these of Jason Kaechler's crazy cats!
