Episode 476 – 10 years of Sol

This week, Glynn discusses Olympus’ decision to exit the photo industry.
Despite this monumental event, they have just released their roadmap for planned future lens releases.
He also gave us a few links on the story… 01 | 02 | 03 | 04

NASA’s 10 year timelapse of our sun, Sol.
Here’s the youtube version, where each second of video equates to one Earth day!

Jumped ship from Photoshop to Gimp but struggling with the layout?
Maybe you need Photogimp, to easy the transition!
While this was designed for Linux users, it can also be adapted for Mac and Windoze users as well.

If you are planning on breaking up with Adobe, spend 3 mins on this little (NSFW) video for a chuckle!

Then there is Rueben. He was not amused by Google’s failure to send a street view car to his island home of Mauritius. So, he grabbed his drone, circumnavigated the island, and created the next best thing.

Sony hints at an A7Siii coming later this year, and promises a departure from the norm.

Adam told us about Canon launching a satellite loaded with a 5D mark iii.

I have been a professional audio engineer since the mid 80's and am happy to do for free in my spare time what I get paid to do during the week. I created Shutters Inc in May 2005, and it is today (as best as I can tell) THE longest-running photography podcast in the world.
