Live Show Recap: Macro

Happy St. Paddy’s day or whatever. “We just take everyone’s unwanted holidays and make them CRAZY.” Tony is dyeing everyones drinks green.

If you’re new to the show, here’s what happens: you submit one photo on the theme, we maybe review it. You can also submit Squarespace portfolios for review! You can ask Tony and Chelsea questions in the live chat during the show, and I ask ones that I find interesting to them via Skype. There are lots of jokes, lots of tangents, lots of confusion. In this recap here I highlight their favorite submissions, my favorite jokes, photo news and anything else worth remembering.

This week we reviewed your macro shots! Lots of bees. Chelsea is really pushing this ASMR thing. Someone made us Bingo sheets for the show! You can still find the forms at sdp.io/bingo if you’d like to play along. I’m Chelsea’s best friend and now it’s show official! Also I have no soul. Justin is just a black screen.

Hashtag your live show photos at #TCLive on Instagram or Twitter and you’ll get “lots of free followers for free.”

Our new Photoshop book is coming along, 199 pages so far! If you have it already you can get the updates at sdp.io/psowner or pre-order it at sdp.io/ps.

Next week Matt Granger will Skype in and review your Travel pics! What a show, two-for-one insanity.

Ok, let’s get into your pictures. Here are our faves:

Now over to me for some of your questions:

  • how to eliminate stitches in focus stacking? Bring layers into Photoshop.
  • Peak Design messenger bag? Best bag for what it does, still not great.

Now for a portfolio review. Great images, great layout. Lots of information, very well done!

I got my sound back, so over to me for more questions:

  • extension tubes with kit lenses? It’ll work, but sharpness won’t be great.
  • modern lens flatness compared to older lenses? We should do a blind test.

Back to your photos!

  • the US has the worst looking money
  • macro tips: use a tripod, ISO 100, mirror lock-up, live view, and BE STILL to nail that focus.
  • fuzzy moth face. “Antlers.”
  • dewy grasshopper
  • Tony keeps calling insects “animals”
  • “this is like a bee on its wedding day”

Back to me with your questions:

  • Matt Granger gets Chelsea to sing. Tony has green teeth.

Chit-Chat! Chelsea’s favorite segment where people say mean things and we laugh at them.

  • sdp.io/fart, sdp.io/kids. Check um out.
  • Does Tony have scurvy? Eat an orange, Tony.
  • “Nope, I’m just annoying erryday erryday erryday erryday…”
  • Tony def has glued-on hair “hella spooky lol”
  • Everyone speculates that Tony and Chelsea are going to break up based on Chelsea’s facial expressions.
  • “maybe we are breaking up” “we can’t break up right now. What would Justin do?”

Ok, over to another portfolio. Make those links clickable! Pare down your photos, a few too many. Merge your categories. Your event shots are great! Price those bad boys. Make your front page reflect the work you’re trying to get.

Tony throws me under the bus for bingo!

  • hanging out with Matt Granger at Photokina!
  • medium format? Why, why not? Digital medium format is prohibitively expensive. Go full-frame instead.
  • duel memory cards for wedding photography? Yes.

Back to photos:

  • this butterfly is crazy detailed
  • elephant hawk moth?!
  • party owls
  • ‘nother bee
  • Chelsea knows her Sacajawea coins
  • flies are fascinating

Chelsea misses me, so here I am:

  • we all wear wigs
  • photographer’s writer’s block? Make a project, study old photographers, photograph the same thing at different times.
  • how to become a product photographer? Just do it. Practice, work for free, make a portfolio. Make contacts, build your portfolio. Long motivational speech to follow. Become a blacksmith.

Let’s take a look at a ballpoint pen. I mean, more photos, rapid fire:

  • flower
  • what’s a dragonfly’s lifespan? We stumped Justin! Chelsea gets philosophical, Tony gets nihilistic.
  • Tony insults all the nerds

Over to me:

  • what photo would you like to be remembered for? Definitely the erectile dysfunction one.
  • questions are boring.

And we’re done! Tune in next Thursday for Matt Granger and travel photos. Sorry we forgot to remind you all about daylight savings time, why is that still a thing.

Live Show Recap: Backlighting

Hello again! Last nights show was great, we got a lot of really good submissions for backlighting.

Live Show Recap: Tree

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ny3p7dx2-o

WARNING: Chelsea is a human and she gets mad when people say lies about her. If you are offended by an angry woman, do not watch. Also, get over it.

This week we review your tree photos! Apparently you have a lot of them.

If you haven’t already, check out our new podcast! There are two out already and we’ll be releasing two a month. sdp.io/podcast

  • do we copy DigitalRev? No, again, what?
  • “nice try, but I’m not taking any shit today. NEXT.”

  • “the 5 worst photographers” do in fact exist. Unfortunately.
  • apparently we have giant refrigerators?
  • podcast music: distracting or engaging?

Back to me for some questions and comments, which rile up Chelsea further:

Back to your photos!

Live Show Recap: Shoes

Guys, this is a rowdy one. Chelsea was on point last night! We’re looking at your shoes.

What do you think of the mics? I prefer them to the lav mics.

“Shoes. What are they? Where do they come from?” “That is not what we’re talking about today.”

Chelsea is trying to ferret out you fetishists.

Next week is “tree.” Singular? Who knows. “They tend to hang out in groups.”

Do you want to write for our blog? Please? Learn how to spell my name, then send me your pitches to siobhan@northrup.org.

Ok, let’s see your shoes:

Live Show Recap: Creative Self-Portraits

Welcome to another great show! We really loved seeing your creative self-portraits, y’all showed up in force! It’s good to see your faces for once. Lots of good beards.

Microsoft Office 2016, “it’s appalling” says Tony Northrup.

Not much in the way of PhotoNews this week:

  • “is this for real? Does he really have a beard this beautiful?…he belongs on a coin”
  • computer face
  •  classic Nathaniel
  • “he’s taller than the fridge for some reason?”
  • this guy’s on fire

Let’s look at a portfolio! Well done, DC Photo, one of our faves. Cut out some images that are redundant, pare it down. Otherwise great job!

Chit-Chat!

  • Tony hates nutcrackers. Let’s be honest, they’re the new clowns.

  • mostly these guys are either mean or dumb, often both

Ok, back to your photos:

  • great hat
  • spooky mirror
  • “Am I a bad influence on kids telling them they get one f-off a year? Should I be on Sesame Street?”

Over to me with your questions! Of which there were very few:

Back to self-portraits:

Back to me:

Live Show Recap: Candid Photos

Hello again! Guys, guys. Guys. We are still having a hard time with the new studio set up. Please give us your patience. I am muted for the first few cuts to me, just as you’ve always wanted, but we get it fixed. Look how awesome the color looks! Tony and Chelsea aren’t vampires! You heard it here first.

We’re looking at your candid photos this week and you had some good ones.

The Photoshop book is underway! If you bought it already you can download the first few chapters at sdp.io/psowners. If you haven’t bought it yet, what are you waiting for? Come on. Really. And we have all sizes of the shirt back in stock! Your wishes were granted.

PhotoNews: not much this week because of CS last week.

  • register your drone! sdp.io/faa. What did you name your drone? I would name mine Air Bud.

Ok, photo reviews start here, but the sound drops out a few times. I warned you.

Over to me for your questions, but you can’t hear me when I’m on camera:

  • How’s Windows 10? I don’t know, because I don’t have it
  • Canon 80D, ADD? “I’d like a camera that does what it says it does. How bout that, camera manufacturers?”

Now a portfolio review. Change your name, it sounds like the hardcore band you were in in high school. Otherwise, great port! Pare down a few shots, lead with your best.

Back to photo reviews:

  • so square
  • I love this old man
  • silhouettes
  • Chelsea on spot-color, “it was fine in Sin City and Schindler’s List, but I’ve yet to see it pulled off again.”
  • “Dude, you’re nowhere near deep enough to need to hike your pants up. So just chill with that.” Keep an eye out for Tony’s show on pant length.
  • “Everyone thinks we’re biased towards Kyle Wolfe-” “we are! He’s a great person. So sue us. Is it our fault his parents made a great human. God. Be more like Kyle Wolfe”

Back over to me, finally with sound.

  • live show for images taken in the past week? “like, spaghetti hair”
  • stock photography! Make that video.
  • “clone Justin”
  • please tell me what the miniature nun is behind me. I’m scared.
  • have you seen a backward flying goose? Liar.
  • Everyone go follow “movies in reverse.” They’ll have no idea why they got so popular

Another portfolio review.  Lovely work!

“I need to text Matt [Granger] and tell him I’m better than him.”

“I heard they [Squarespace] also let you make a free website if you barter with them.”

More photos:

  • wow, this one is just stunning
  • “man buns!”
  • “yeah, he’s a baby, what do you want him to be doing? Balancing his checkbook?”
  • “I feel like this is his daily habit, he goes here and, uh, he looks like he’s cleaning his handgun”
  • lampman “we’ve never successfully guessed the location of any photo”
  • “the long-straw diet”
  • “I like when kids just fold themselves up”
  • snow
  • “nah, he can live off just snow“
  • “this baby‘s going to heaven”

Chit-Chat!

  • “69furball69, already can tell you’re a gentleman”
  • Chelsea references an ELO song even though she’s seemingly never heard of Electric Light Orchestra
  • “is there anything more annoying than a condescending laugh in a YouTube comment?”
  • “just get a cool wife that will brag about your credentials for you”

Over to me:

  • Justin thumbs his nose at b-roll
  • “really, you’re going to buy a new camera just to shoot the Pirates of the Caribbean exhibit?”
  • “I’m not going to pirate-shame you dude”
  • used gear buying

Moooooore photo reviews:

  • “let’s look at sad Santa”
  • “what is this guy selfie-ing?” “himself, by definition”
  • “terrifying nut cracker. It’s probably about to kill her”
  • friends
  • “it’s just a machine that’s been designed to steal money from kids…the lottery for kids”
  • “I bet she just saw that duck fly backwards”
  • “more baubles than a pimp”

Rapid fire!

And that’s our show! Next week, self-portraits! Not casual selfies; real, planned out self portraits please. Can’t wait to see your pretty faces.

New studio set up, new technical difficulties. Give us some time to get it all worked out. You can’t see me this show, I appear as a green screen for some reason.

Help us hit 500,000 subscribers on YouTube! Tell your friends.
