Camera Position 68 : Zoom With Your Feet!

Published by Jeff Curto at 10:35 am under Podcast Entry

Zoom with your feet! Zoom lenses can interfere with the creative process by letting you get lazy with where you’re positioning your camera. Switching to a “prime” lens of a single focal length can help your composition and your thought process. We also look at “The Poor Man’s Tripod” - a simple device for helping to steady your camera.

    Jeff,
    I can’t listen to the podcast. The download doesn’t work either.

    Hi, Bruno;

    Well, I was just able to download it from the weblog page (where it played both in the browser and as a download) and also through iTunes.

    Try again and see what happens.

    Thanks for another edition. I love the poor man’s tripod concept, I’m going to try it when I have a chance. On tripods, are there recommendations on how to make a selection? Although I know equipment is not the point of this podcast, understanding the issues with selecting a tripod might be a good discussion.

    Thanks again.
