First of all, I want to apologize to everyone for not having the show notes up lately… and to Jessi, cause it looks like her fault… it’s not… I’ve just been REALLY busy with weddings (including my own), side projects and just work in general. That said… I’m writing the show notes this week.

Last week, Mav’s mom, Lynn Holly, got everyone together for “Founder’s Day” to do a tribute to Mav and this week we decided to wrap all of that up by taking a trip to Mrs. Lynn’s house to give us a little more insight into the man himself. The hitch was… Mav had no idea! It was a lot of fun.

We looked through some old photos as well as some of Mav’s early artwork and then took questions from Mickey Sacks, Ali from Buttonhead and Jessi and James Bruntz.

After that Lynn sat in as we talked about Picture of the Week.

Our Winner was Olga_Sgr:

and our runner up was vaguy134:

Our theme for next week is “The Number 365″. Submit a photo that includes a numerical representation of 365 along with a little story about your 365 experience.

Enjoy the show!

This week’s show starts off with a bit of discussion about the comic that Mav has been working on for the past few months, Cosmic Hellcats. Mav is set to launch the comic at the Pittsburgh Comicon next weekend. If at all possible, he will be shooting his segment of the show on location, but if not, we’ll be having a special guest on the show next week with Stephen.

Mav did a tutorial this week after a bit of a hiatus and talked about the rule of thirds, one of the most basic compositional guidelines. This also led into James’ tip of the week, which discussed using negative space as a dominant element of composition.

PICTURE OF THE WEEK

We had another great week last week, with a ton of people participating in the Close Crop challenge.

This week’s winner was a photo by thehalfshow.com.

Stephen and Mav also talked about this image, by Mikey aka DaSkinnyBlackMan.

And this one, by Lividfiction, was also mentioned.

Flickr has proposed some fixes to the group moderation issues, and those were discussed in this week’s show as well.

With two great tutorials on composition in this episode, we are expecting to see some creative photos submitted to Picture of the Week this week. The theme is Rule of Thirds / Negative Space. You can concentrate on one, or try and do both in one shot.

See you next week!

With all of the controversy about the addition of videos to flickr, and the reformatting of group administration, this week’s show opens with a discussion about both of these issues. Members of the 365 Days group had the chance to weigh in last week on their feelings about video being included in the project, but the decision was fairly unanimous that video be kept out of 365 Days.

As far as the permissions, flickr is forcing us to either boot out members who are not deemed as ’safe’, or allow those members and make the group 18+, and not visible to the world outside flickr. This will also restrict our membership, and underage photographers will no longer be allowed to participate in the 365 Days group. Mav has been voicing his opinions on this issue pretty loudly, and appears to be getting his voice heard.

Stephen received some mail this week - a moo card from mickeysacks, who was on the show to talk about making photo books with Blurb, and a cool doodle from disco~stu.

After a tutorial on using diffusion, James Bruntz was back on the show with this week’s tip. With the help of his lovely wife, James discussed using cropping to improve composition, and create more dynamic images.

PICTURE OF THE WEEK

The podcast mini-challenge theme last week, Dramatic Lighting, inspired a ton of fantastic photos from members of the 365 Days group. The winner this week is a shadowy photo by dm74.

Our runner-up photo is from Mr. Fun., who used his dramatic lighting for a less intense effect.

We also had a viewer request a list of tutorials and the episodes in which they appear. This list will be up on the site as soon as we get the information together.

The show ended with a video Stephen put together over the weekend, to show that video on flickr can be a good thing.

This week’s Picture of the Week theme is Close Crop, so put James’ tips to use!

Until next week!
