CleanGoCast #16 – Is it the photographer or the gear? | In this episode, I discuss the ago old question…is it the photographer or the gear? At almost any event someone will likely say “That’s looks like a great camera, it must take awesome pictures” and over the years people have argued that you can hand a point and shoot camera to a great photographer and they can make amazing photos with it. Is there any truth behind these statements? Let’s dive into the issue and see what we come up with. Show Host: Kerry Garrison Sponsors: GoPro, Blackbelt Lighting | 12/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanGoCast #15 – What’s Wrong With Photography Education | In this episode Kerry discusses issues with the current state of photography education and why it is in such a mess these days. The main problem is that some instructors, both in certain schools as well as photographer-turned-workshop gurus, often fill people with horrifically unrealistic expectations about what they can hope to accomplish as a photographer. In the US the average income for photographers is $29,000 while the average income in the US is $44,000 putting the average photographer not only well below the US average, but actually below poverty level. I’m not trying to crush any dreams here but I think you need to have very realistic expectations and pick the instructors and classes that are actually teaching you skills and setting you up for success and not just trying to keep their own pockets filled.

CleanGoCast #14 – Don’t Burn Bridges | In this episode I talk about making sure you don’t burn bridges. This includes making sure you treat customers, venues, coordinators, and others even if its not exactly what you want to do every time. Situations will come up that can seriously stress your patience and professionalism but you often need to look past that and take the higher road. In the end, this will pay off for you instead of giving you the reputation of being a jerk. Show Host: Kerry Garrison Sponsors: GoPro Blackbelt Lighting | 12/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanGoCast #13 – Are You Creating Dated Images? | In this episode I discus making images that will stand the test of time. Sometimes we get caught up in trends that we may look back on later and wonder what we were thinking. In the past we have seen trends like grunge layers, textures, vignettes, and other techniques that even a year or two later is no longer “in fashion” and will date your images.

In this show Ed and Kerry discuss the latest offering in the photography world and hear what Ed had to say about many of the things on display at Photo Plus Expo. Trek-Tech My wife bought a Tech Trek Pod for me last year. A very versatile monopod/tripod. I have the Trek Pod II which does not break down as far as the TrekPod Go Pro or the TrekPod XL. So this was my second stop of the day. My trek pod uses a MagMount ball head. This is ball head is a quick release system. It uses strong earth magnets for use with D-SLR cameras. Unfortunately I lost the pieces which attaches to the camera. I was talking with the guy at Trek-Tech and explained that I lost the part. He asked me to come back at the end of the day and he would see what he could do for me. Long story short, I came back around 4PM and he GAVE me a MagMount STAR ball head !!! Can you believe it !!! I have heard of great customer service before but this goes WAY above my expectations. With this type of commitment to a customer, I have no doubt that I will be recommending and buying more of their products in the future. If you want to travel light with the smallest weight possible check out their full line of Trek Pods at http://www.trek-tech.com/ and rest assured that you are buying from a customer service driven organization. Nik HDR EFEX PRO I LOVE high dynamic range photography.  I have been using  PhotoMatrix and happy with the results. Now step in HDR arena with NIK HDR EFEX PRO. I stopped by the NIK booth and they were doing a demo of the HDR software. I was floored by the ability of this software.  NIK is well known  for it’s U-Point technology and this is incorporated in the software. The ability to selectively  control a portion of an image easily is a HUGE time saver and it gives you greater control of the final outcome. The user interface is very intuitive. The learning curve on the software is almost 0!!! The visual presets are a bonus. You can easily and quickly determine the look you are going for in your HDR image. One feature that I love is the ability to export the images in lightroom to NIK without even opening Photoshop. Select your images…Click on export as a preset and NIk software runs all of it’s algorithms. When you are satisfied with the result, click on save and your HDR image appears in lightroom !!!!  An excellent way to streamline your work flow. NIK is offering a 15 day free trial. I am on my second day with the software. I have to tell you I am very impressed with the results so far. Spider Camera Holster How cool is it to sling your camera like a gun? Spider Holster has all of the elements of cool. I bought the system last year at the Photo east show. I have not used it much and it has been residing in my storage case. I am not sure if this is my style or not. I dropped by the spider booth at PDN and it was packed with people testing out the belt system and buying one. My main reason for stopping by the booth was to return my belt from last year for a new and improved one. Two of the thousands Spider belt users reported the buckle opening without having to depress the required pressure point. Spider sent out a notice to all of the Spider Camera Holster users about the potential issue. Spider gladly exchanged my old holster for a new one. I’ll have to place the belt on my camera carrying arsenal this year. OnOne Software I dropped by the OnOne booth. I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my favorite Photoshop guys doing a demo,Dave Cross!!! Dave was performing a demo of OnOne’s Photoframe 4.6. Dave is always creative and finds alternative editing methods that I would never think of. OnOne user interface is very easy and modifying a file after the initial processing in OnOne[...] | 11/23/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Great For Wedding Photographers Just Starting Out
Excellent tips and the conversations about wedding photography are great!!! And so what if they do some advertising. Every great podcast does. They have to make money somehow and the products they recommend are very good.
Great Podcast...but please turn up the volume!
Great Podcast guys, but please fix the volume issues. When I play them they are very low volume, it must be your recording as the intro bumper volume is fine and then when you start talking everything goes very quiet indeed.
Awesome
Awesome podcast guys, don't go away too quickly please!!
