Welcome to the Fotobug podcast number 34. In this episode we have an exclusive on a new product that any nature or landscape photographer who uses a tripod (you do use a tripod, don't you?) will want to try. This nifty invention is a quick realease tripod head mount that allows you to quickly change heads on your tripod - for instance from a gimble head to a ball-head. Jim and Fred speak to the inventor and show off the new device. The new tripod quick release is now available from Outdoor Photo Gear and Nature Scapes. In the news, Toshiba has announced a new Wi-fi capable SD card, ICVT has a new method to optimize JPEG compression, the release candidates for Lightroom 3.5 and RAW 6.5 are available from Adobe, and the Fotobug guys discuss a new website - www.youarenotaphotographer.com. In addition, the guys discuss photo manipulation - good, bad, or in-between? We would like for you to send us your comments, or post your comments at our Facebook Fan page. Finally, upcoming photo workshops and photo tours for 2012 include Costa Rica, Peru, Morocco and possibly Iceland. Don't forget, there is still time to register and attend the Black Hills Photo Shootout!
