Photonetcast 4th Anniversary Giveaway!

Photonetcast has reached its 4th Anniversary!  To celebrate the occasion, they have decided to hold a very generous prize giveaway and photo contest!  They are offering up prizes totaling over $1,400 in value!

 

In the past year or so I have really gotten into listening to podcasts.  During that time, I have also found a love for photography.  These two interests have coincided for me with Photonetcast, an excellent photography podcast.  I went back and listened to all of the archived episodes that Google Listen could find.  I was instantly hooked.  The variety of guests discussing various topics related to photography has provided both entertainment and education.  I personally want to thank all the hosts and guests that have contributed to the high quality of Photonetcast.  I would recommend to anyone who is interested in learning more about photography to listen to every episode you can get your hands on of Photonetcast.

 

Additionally, anyone who is interested can check out my entry in this photo contest which is titled : The Snowy Street Lamp.

 

Here’s to four more years of Photonetcast!

Cheers!

Cam Crate Review

Coming as soon as I receive mine! (Estimated May, 2012)

 

The Cam Crate is a great new product idea that will provide a waterproof, shockproof, dirt-proof and as the products designer calls it, “life-proof” case for a DSLR Camera.  This is great for photographers who want to take high quality photos (and maybe even videos) but are concerned with damaging their expensive equipment.  For around $80, this case is a steal for the adventurous photographer who doesn’t have the $6000 for the expensive weather-proofed professional DSLR bodies and lenses.

 

If you haven’t heard about the new Cam Crate, check it out on kickstarter.

I’ve already pre-ordered one and also supported this project and you should too!

Project Updates:

UPDATE #1 (Feb. 8th, 2012) : Because of a number of suggestions, the creator of this project is considering adding a few new features to the Cam Crate.  They include:

  • a multi point attachment to allow Cam Crate to be strapped down
  • the ability to connect a carabiner to attach it to a backpack or bag
  • a tripod (1/4″-20) thread to help take steady shots while on the go
  • multiple colors for the interior foam including black, blue and “kickstarter” green
  • a “pick and pluck” foam interior to allow customization of the interior allowing your DSLR and lens combination to fit exactly inside the Cam Crate.

 

UPDATE #2 (March 23rd, 2012): According to the project creator, he is working hard to get the design completed and ready for production.  He is trying to add all the features above, while maintaining the same pricing structure.  Hopefully he will be able to meet the anticipated delivery deadline of May 2012.  I know i sure would love to have my Cam Crate for all the adventures I have planned for this summer!
