Fotobug - Episode 128 - The ABCs of B&W

This has been a busy couple of weeks - the first annual Tampa Bay Photo Shootout is now history and we have some behind the scenes video and an interview with Jillian from Tamron!

In recent news, the Colorado legislature has introduced a new bill that, if signed into law, will prevent law enforcement officers from interfering with citizens who are photographing or recording police activity while Texas wants to penalize photographers who  film or photograph police within 15 feet of an incident. Lensbaby has introduced a new portrait lens that produces a velvety image. In UAV news, DJI has introduced two new Phantom quadcopters, Blackmagic has announced a new small sports camera and Garmin has announced a sports camera - both suitable for using on UAVs. Manfrotto has used the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show as launching pad for the Digital Director, a bracket designed to turn an iPad Air into an external monitor for Canon and Nikon DSLRs.  Canon has reduced the price on some of its most popular L lenses and tune into the podcast for even more!

The Tampa Bay Photo Shootout was a success and we thank Tamron, JDI Imaging and our keynote speaker, Connie Bransilver as well as all the instructors for all their hard work.  We especially want to thank Connie for filling in as a workshop leader on Saturday!  Tune into the podcast for an interview with the "Tamron Lady"!

Also, watch the podcast to check out the new "Fotobug Florida Vest" from our friend The Vest Guy (www.thevestguy.com)



Our monthly theme is Black and White, so Jim and Fred present a few tips on capturing and processing digital images for black and white.  If you would like more, we urge you to sign up for the Vanelli and Friends photo cruise that will be taking place the week of June 15th featuring Vanellia, B&W guru Vincent Versace, and macro photographer Mike Moats. http://vanelliandfriends.com/cruise/
