Avforums Podcast For Photograpy Section

[vulkan75]

I was up at the Bristol show yesterday,so I popped in say hi to the chaps at the Avforums stand.Took a few shots but the got corrupted so cant post them sorry guys.

Anyway after being roped in to play the xbox(which I was useless at)I had a realy nice chat to stuart wright and Phill Hinton.

They both mentioned how pleased they were with the way this forum is going and the high standard of the competition.
In the course of the coverstation, they mentioned that the photography section is being left out of Of the Avpodcasts, which they believe is a valuable resource that members could benefit from.

So they asked me If I was intrested in running this idea past you guys AND if I would be intrested in being the "voice" of the Podcast.Apparently they need a token welshman on the team .

I obviously told them that I was completley under qualified and that there was far better candidates frequenting here.

Anyway I would like you guys to voice your Ideas of what you think would make good Photography based Podcasts(content)etc,
And also anyone who is a competent and confident speaker who might be interested in Conducting it should I Gib out.

cheers

I'm sure its a great idea but what I dont need is spending more time on the interweb - Sorry to be a bit negative ... Paul

Please note guys.

This is not my idea.It is the suggestion of the forum administrators.

Do not under estimate the clout of this forum,Big names were falling over themselves at the show to be interviewed for the forums Podcast.(What hi fi,Denon,pioneer.etc etc

Who knows in time,maybe we will be able to interview and speak to reps from Nikon,Canon,sigma etcwith our questions and about their products.

Might make for a really interesting resource.

I'm undecided.
I'd certainly give it a go but I can't help but feel that as a visual medium photography is better suited to forums / flickr than podcasts.

Just my 2p.

I think it's a great idea - not sure how you would fill it each month, but would make an interesting bi monthly spot. Like you said, an interview with some of the big names about new products, photoshop techniques, reviews?

Go for it Vulkan! great idea! - looking forward to hearing you soon

[vulkan75]

I never said I was actually gonna do it.The idea is that it can be a place where you are upto date.Whats new on the market,lenses cameras or whatever.

There would be a good bit of time, Research etc for the Podcaster involved,which is a problem for me at the mo as Im doing a open uni course and working full time.

Id like to do it but the time issue and the fact that im not to Hot On the knowledge side of things dont really quailfy me.But I can talk the hind leg of a donkey

So anyone thats interested please register your vote.

All the info compiled will be past on to Phill Hinton.

Seems like a great idea but I think bi-monthly or quarterly would allow sufficient relevant material to make it interesting

[Radiohead]

I'm in for this - sounds like a great idea. You could get down some of the frequently asked items, along with user reviews of their own kit and what they use it for....Bristol Pete for sports etc etc.

[wabbitt]

I think it's a great idea. Been wondering why I have a PSP. Obviously I should use it for MP4 podcasts.

In fact I'd even give some photoshop tutorial stuff. Not too often 'cause I'm quite busy but I'd willingly do some tutorials on retouching, studio shoots and the likes.

I think there is a wealth of talent on this forum and it would be good to see some tutorials (e.g. "How I did my landscape" Liquids landscape, "A day out with Bristol Pete", etc.)

Edit: and I see Radiohead would be willing too.

[Gordon @ Convergent AV]

Sounds like a decent idea to me. If you have the time free and the inclination I think it would be good.

I think this is a great idea.

Keep the ideas roling in,What would you like to see on the Podcasts

[electrolyte]

This sounds like a good idea. I have to admit I haven't listened to many of the podcasts as I'm not into DVD and home cinema as much as I used to be. Would definitely be interested in listening to one about photography.

Hadn't you better ask Pete 1st before recording the podcast - he hasn't said yet has he?

[vulkan75]

Yes mate that is true,But the above is all hypothetical at the mo anyway.TBH I dont quite know What They have in mind.
It would just be nice to get some ideas together of what forum members would like to hear,and present them for discussion.

The bristol pete one was suggested by Radiohead,and im sure many here would love to hear from him,im sure he would be up for it,If thats the way it develops.

Thanks simon
