The Circle of Confusion Podcast #19 | In this special episode of the podcast, we look back on a successful location scouting trip to Co. Mayo last weekend. We spent two days visiting sites and planning scenes for episode 2 of Dynamic Range. In the podcast, you'll hear how we try to get a waterfall named after Neil, and Roger talks about minimum viable products. It turns out that episode 0 of Dynamic Range was such a thing. | 15 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Circle of Confusion Podcast #18 | In this week’s episode of The Circle of Confusion, Neil admits to having his head turned by the Nikon D800 and Roger admits to having his stomach turned by HDR photographs. Meanwhile, Peter suspects that Canon has taken a step backwards with the design of its new 24-70mm f/2.8 Iens, but everyone likes the new IS 24mm f/2.8 and 28mm f/2.8 lenses. We discuss how to self-publish a calendar and we start to turn our attention to the recording of episode 2 of Dynamic Range. | 8 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Circle of Confusion Podcast #16 | In episode 16 of the podcast, Roger is missing in action so it's up to Peter & Neil to carry the can. Sorry about that. We promise to return him (mostly) unharmed next week. In this episode we discuss the troubles at Kodak and make comparisons between the failing film giant and Apple. This sparks a lively debate between the two digital photographers about the merits of digital vs. film. Yet another new camera is discussed along with yet more copyright talk - this time about a SOPA-like law that's threatening to come into effect in Ireland. We also discuss a landmark plagiarism case in England. To cap things off, we talk about the recent auroral displays in the north of Ireland. | 25 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Circle of Confusion Podcast #15 | In episode 15 of the podcast, Neil admits he will get medieval on you if you steal his photography, Peter describes the logo for the 2012 Olympics with a reference to Lisa Simpson, and Roger admits to killing a bird. We talk about SOPA and PIPA, and copyright legislation - but try to be helpful rather than boring. We also discuss gear and seminars. And Roger wrote about the concept of dynamic range in an article that gave Neil brain freeze. | 18 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Circle of Confusion Podcast #14 | In episode 14 of the podcast, Neil forgets Peter’s name, Roger gets annoyed and Peter makes a snap judgement about one of the most exciting cameras to come down the pike for a long time. Roger discusses a recent high profile shoot in which the client had a problem with his quote – but not the way in which you’d expect. We say goodbye to Eve Arnold, one of the legends of Magnum and discuss the impending death of the SLR form factor. | 11 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Circle of Confusion Podcast #8 | In this overlong, season’s-bonhomie-infused episode, Peter and Roger find out that they don’t fit Canon’s definition of a professional photographer, prompting Roger to put yet another curse on the company. There is a brief discussion about Canon’s 50mm f/1.2 standard lens, which is so good Roger is considering revoking the curse. We have a great interview with leading social photographer and columnist Julia Boggio and her husband/business partner James Derbyshire. If you do one thing to help your business in 2011, make sure you listen to what they have to say. We debate whether the Fuji’s Finepix X100 camera really is a rangefinder (it isn’t), and briefly look at some model release apps for the iPhone. We also report on the sale of a €400,000 camera. In your face Leica… oh, it was a Leica. Peter talks about print editions and about the dolly toy he recently bought. It’s not what you think, honest. | 11 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Circle of Confusion Podcast #7 | In this episode, we have full frontal nudity. Fortunately, not of Peter and Roger themselves. Now there’s an image you won’t forget quickly. On a more sobering note, we look at the case of murdered New Zealand photographer Trent Keegan. Our interview is with UK-based photographer Marko Dutka, whose words will inspire anyone who is working hard to make it in this business. | 11 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Circle of Confusion Podcast #5 | In this episode, Roger drills a hole in his desk and launches the 11-11-11-11 project. Peter gets excited about a camera that looks like a satellite; Roger gets excited about a camera that looks like a camera. Neither of them get excited about cameras inspired by car designers. We interview Dublin photographer Mike O’Toole, as well as award-winning PR man Greg Canty, and discuss whether or not you should brand your online photographs | 11 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |
