Photo Assignment:
Look at Pictures: Evaluate them. Why do YOU like them? What do you think makes them compelling or interesting? Jot down a few notes to help firm in your mind what you observe, what appeals to you and what doesn’t. Strive to emulate the photos you like. How did they get those shots? POST your photos for others to see. Send me a link to your photos! Here are some websites that have some great image examples:

WIN an XSHOT CAMERA EXTENDER!
Love this episode. And for the first time, I Think I’m gonna try to make the challenge.
Alexandra, Great! Good luck!
Loved this episode. I travel a lot, as you may know, so getting tips is handy, especially from folks who understand my main hobby: geocaching
Thanks!
Yup, Josh and Liz are the real deal. Travelers and geocachers too!
The XShot Pocket Camera Extender looks interesting.
I really like it and have used it several times already. Great little tool and doesn’t take up much space at all.
Hi Sonny! Thanks for having us on! We love listening to your photography tips and tricks while we travel around the world. It has helped us out so much while traveling. Thanks for having us on and we look forward to continuing listening to the show!!!
All the best!

Josh, it was a pleasure having you and Liz chat about photos and your amazing adventures traveling. Please stay in touch and keep us updated on your travels! I just updated the shownotes with a link to your blog.
I love reading and listening to your podcast. Glad to see you recording again! Good luck on future photoshoots and looking forward to some more great information in the future!
Hey Madelyn, Thanks for reading / listening. Lots more photo goodness to come!
Liking this new podcast a lot. It’s rekindled my interest in taking more than just snapshots, even if I use my iPhone.
Hey Tom! Yes, get out there and shoot!
Some call them selfie sticks but I like the “Wand of Narcissus” for a name.
I like that name Rich!
Great podcast, Sonny. Very informative! My 9 year old is really developing a good photographic eye.
Glad you like it Dan! Come on back. Lot’s more to share. Make sure you sign up for the mailing list so that you don’t miss a thing!
Nice episode. I also follow podcacher podcast so I see you like this couple :). BTW can you give us some tips of how to keep your gear during snow or rain ? I know you dont have it as much in San Diego but over here in Canada…
Tomer, hey you listen to PodCacher too! That is a GREAT podcast! Good question about snow and rain, and yes we DO get that every once in a while in San Diego … but not much … I’ll mention it on a future podcast.
Got some catching up to do! 😉
Hey Dominic! Yes, lot’s of stuff here. Come on back and I’ll be adding more articles, podcasts and videos. Sign up for the newsletter so you don’t miss a thing!
Ah, I was wondering about tools like this. A deaf rabbi I know has been posting several pictures and I can see that he’s holding something that holds the camera. It must be this, or something very similar to it. Pretty cool. I was wondering how it held on to the phone. Thanks for the review.
You’re most welcome. Hope it helped.
Another great episode…glad to hear you have been busy. Great checklist to remember before each shoot. Love the links..great way to follow up. Fun photos of the Electric Run too.
Good o formation – xshot looks like a good addition to my photo gadgets
I just put the Shooting Prep Checklist into Evernote so I can have it handy on my phone!
I enjoyed Josh and Liz’ photos from Chiang Mai. Thailand is my favorite country to visit, and I’ve spent lots of happy time eating at places like that with Thai friends.
Always good info on pocket lenses.
Congratulations Louis!
