Typical Shutterbug Podcast

Here is a quick tip if you like to geotag your photos.  If you use Flickr and your tagging process puts the coordinates into the image Exif information there is a setting you have to change in your Flickr account.  This will ensure your photos show on the map properly.  Keep in mind any privacy concerns when supplying tagged photos.  It may not matter when shooting public material. But you might not want to give away the location of your home.

1. Log into Flickr
2. Pull down the Menu next to “You”
3. Select “Your Account”
4. Click “Privacy and Permissions”
5. Scroll down to the defaults for new uploads section
6. Change the “Import EXIF location data” to Yes

I appeared as a guest star on PC Weenies web-toon. Khrisha did all the art work on my Typical Mac User website and he is working on a logo for this show as we speak. It’s always a lot of fun and you too can be a guest star.

Wanted to catch everyone up that the work towards making this show and community a reality is continuing.

Krishna Sadasivam (who has done all the art work for Typical Mac user) and who is the talent behind PC Weenies has graciously volunteer to come up with the killer logo, which is essential to our branding on the podcast, Flickr Group and everywhere else.

I’ve talk to  Bart Busschots who along with baldingner (his Flicker and Twitter name) and of course George Starcher have agreed to help me moderate the Flickr Group. We now have 46 members in that group and discussions are starting to take off. MadMarv has just started the twittgroups.com group typshutterbug.

I will be calling upon the community to contribute audio to the show so that WE can put the content together, while I take care of the editing, posting and other duties.

I’m going to be asking experts like Robert Lachman from Photography And TheMac , Andrew Darlow from The Imaging Buffet, Sandro Cuccia from Image Medic , Chris Payne (aka Documentally) from OurManInside.com , as well as members of the community like Bart Busschots and Kreg Steppe of spyndle.com and others to help me with Round Table duties as well.

Unlike when I started my other two shows, I am not technically proficient in photography enough to just start. I can share what little I know and what I’m learning, but it will be the collective “We” who makes this happen or not.

We are off to a good start and I’m tired but excited. Contribute your ideas and thoughts in the Flickr Group.

Thank you for making the start of this new adventure a reality for me (us).

So, you probably know me as the host of the Typical Mac User Podcast. I’ve decided that I’m going to do a podcast based on the concept that- like many of you, I am a Typical Shutterbug. That is, I know a little about photography but want to learn a lot in 2009 and beyond. This won’t be a weekly show , it will be occasional. This way I can actually get time to do it without feeling the pressure of a weekly show. Sometimes it may be weekly other times not. (that’s my sanity check)

I’m starting the community by starting a Flickr group join in right now and start contributing, learning and sharing.

From there I’ll start the wheels in motion to prepare for the show to launch in mid-January (after Macwold). I have the url www.typicalshutterbug.com but with a new show comes lots of prep work. If you like photography or want to learn more. Join me as I take my trip in learning how to be a better shutterbug. Just like the Typical Mac User it will grow and flurish, but only with your help.
