Comments on: The Photocast Network Focus Ring - Episode #19 - Background & the Portrait http://www.photocastnetwork.com/2010/02/12/the-photocast-network-focus-ring-episode-19-background-the-portrait/ The Best Photo Podcasts in the Podosphere! Fri, 10 Sep 2010 11:46:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Hörempfehlung: Focus Ring 19 über Hintergründe bei Portraits | jorni.de http://www.photocastnetwork.com/2010/02/12/the-photocast-network-focus-ring-episode-19-background-the-portrait/#comment-22131 Thu, 20 May 2010 18:44:45 +0000 http://www.photocastnetwork.com/2010/02/12/the-photocast-network-focus-ring-episode-19-background-the-portrait/#comment-22131 [...] Ich habe schon länger nicht mehr über meine Gedanken zur Fotografie und meinen eigenen Werken geschrieben (was vor allem daran liegt, dass ich mich im Moment etwas festgefahren fühle), aber in Bezug auf meine früheren Überlegungen zur Portrait-Fotografie bin ich gerade auf eine (alte) Podcast-Folge gestoßen, die ich euch nicht vorenthalten möchte. Beim Focus Ring, dem Podcast der Podcaster vom Photocast Network (hier habe ich schon Happy Shooting, PhotoWalkthrough und Camera Position vorgestellt), sprechen sie in Folge 19 (auf englisch) über die Rolle von Hintergründen bei Portraits. Das Konzept ist sehr interessant: Jeder der Fotografen stellt zwei Bilder vor, erläutert seine Gedanken dazu und sammelt Feedback von den anderen. Dabei lernen die Fotografen selbst sehr viel – aber für die Hörer ist es sogar noch besser, weil er mitbekommt, welche unterschiedlichen Aspekte bei gleichen Bilder wahrgenommen werden können.

I was pretty sure after the first episode but after this one, it's very clear that you have a winning format. Well done, everyone, and special thanks to Mr Perello. Have you considered making this an enhanced podcast? It would be cool to see the pictures on the iPod. This is turning out to be a spectacularly effective reboot of this show.

I learned a lot this time too. I love your discussions about your own photographs, and was wondering - how about including listeners photographs into the podcast too? You could ask people to post their images to a dedicated discussion threads in the Focus Ring Flickr group - and then select only 1 or 2 listeners' images to discuss as well? You could reveal what the next episode's theme would be and listeners could submit their own photographs. How about that? For the background & portrait theme for example I would post this image where in my opinion the background plays the key role in the whole composition: http://flic.kr/p/7zVjpi Anyway, keep up the great work! I can't wait until your next episode ;) Thanks guys for yet another great episode of the Focus Ring podcast! I learned a lot this time too.

Just looking at the photos online before I listen in the car. Discussion of concrete examples is so valuable to an amateur shooter like myself. Thanks for the all your hard work.

This format of round table discussing photos is awesome. I normally listen in my car, but today I viewed the photos before leaving the house and it worked great. Some good information here. THANKS!

There are a lot of photo podcasts out there, but far too few of them speak about pictures and how to take them like you do here. Your discussions are very interesting and enlightening. Please do continue to let us listen in. :-) I really, really, really like this format!

It would be helpful to have direct URL links to the contributors' internet sites each week, save some googling. But thanks for the window into your work.
