/Bjorn
Wow, what a great series of shows, fellas! Can’t wait to see you guys again. How about tips on how to use the various modes of flash (TTL, auto, manual, etc) indoors vs. outdoors.
I would like to see some tips on off camera flash, but for outdoor photography
damn get joe mcnally on the show…..
More on photoshop plugins please.
Amazing show! Still my very favorite thing on the Internet of all (Internet!) time! One quick tip I’d like see you cover is some specific suggestions for setting aperture for depth of field. For example, for a typical portrait or shot of a few people within a few feet of each other in distance from the camera, what’s a good F stop to keep them in perfect focus, but also get some good blur for the background? Same for shooting closeups of flowers and stuff with a non-macro lenses.
Well guys, another great season in the can. Thanks for all the fun and info.
Next season I’d like to see more guest spots from specialist, like: Joe on lighting, Trey doing HDR, Dave at a wedding, ….. You know where I’m coming from, just a little more on technique.
I belong to Kelby Training, and that’s great. This would be more of that extra kicker that we’re all looking for.
See ya’ll in a month, be safe!
tom
Scott, GREAT tip!!!
I really need help sharpening in post. I fear i am not doing enough. How much is too much?
Thanks for all your tips!
How about a little more on fill flash.
Thanks.
Great tips today, simple tips like these are why I watch the show. The things you guys come up with are great. Thanks
It’s going to be a long 4 weeks. This is the best program on the internet.
Great season and good variety of subject matter. I would like to see more of RC with short cuts in post processing–not Photoshop but how he works on the road–saving to drives etc. Workflow.
I would like to see more on low cost product photography as well as on and off camera flash shooting.
Thanks, guys, great season. See you later.
I would like to see some tips and or lessons on canon products.
How about Ps actions and wedding photography tips in new season, PLEASE!
Thanks
How about a show about onOne Photo Suite
Hope to see you soon, guys !!
Great show as usual. I would like additional discussion or ideas about shooting indoor sports without flash. Have learned a lot from Dtown. Keep it up.
I’m looking forward to the next season.
Couldn’t it be interesting to talk a little about buying used camera gear? What to look for and what to avoid? I’ve bought a few old prime lens (non AF) that I believe is very good value for money. Sharp, small, light…
Which brings me to another interesting topic: custom focusing screens. The ones with micro prisms like in the days before AF. Perfect in combination with old lenses or situations where the AF-magic doesn’t seem to work.
Great show. see you next month!
Thanks for the great season guys, you rocked it out of the park. For new episodes how about RC do more on his HDR processing like Scott did for his down & dirtry tutorial; more on presets for LR, post processing tips & shortcuts, flash photography, using a light meter, using an utlrawide zoom lens to create foregound interest and portrait photography just to name a few. And thanks for helping me from making the biggest mistake of my life…I was actually considering the X100, but I think I’ll pass for now. Hope you see you guys again in 4 weeks. Take care.
Gotta love when Scott shows up haha. Id like to see some stuff on aperture. Also tips on proper off camera lighting. Hurry next season, I can’t wait already!
Great show. Thanks.
Great Show. Could you possibly cover tips for getting sharper low light baby photography. New borns that you dont want to blast with a lot flash.. Thanks, looking forward to the start of the new season and Matts new book!!!!
Thanks to all for the tips and your time.
Since you asked:
- recommended camera settings depending on what one is shooting (landscape / nature / portrait / etc);
- recommended hardware combinations of lenses/extensions for macro shooting
- simple & easy way of making a Ps action a preset in Lr (is this possible?)
- best tips on flash settings, eg, when to use rear sync, slow, etc.
How about a tip on how to straighten buildings when using an ultra-wide angle lens or how to shoot them to limit the issue.
Great season by the way.
Thanks
How about some basic set-up information for doing HDR photos?
Tips using/choosing lower end gear. Something like Tamron Lens vs Nikon…Benro tripod vs Gitzu…see where I’m going? Hopefully to PW:)
Hi guys, always a great show. What I want to see next season? MORE! Your episodes fly by so fast, I’d love to see another 10 minutes added to the episodes. That’s all.
And I’ll add, don’t draw me. I can’t make PSW this year. (Although Matt’s book…..)
Great show.
Can you show how I can make professional looking shots from the new X100 camera?
Another solid show. I particularly liked Larry’s reflection tip; I’ll use that one or a variation soon.
Suggestions:
Practical demonstration of the difference between hard and soft lighting, how you get each, and when you might use each.
Following up on SKelby’s blog post, how to see and compose an interesting subject. (The hard stuff
) Again showing practical examples.
A technical request: Please arrange it so that I can adjust the volume during the pre- and post-show commercials. I’m fine with you running them, but the volume is so loud that I’ve started leaving the earphones off or the speakers shut off during the them because I can’t adjust at all any more. (Using Chrome, because I can no longer get the shows on IE8 (for reasons unknown) — the website shows up but the show doesn’t ever appear.
Just looked forward to see the show every week, learned so much and will miss u guys. Greetings from Ireland. …. Also a kelby training student, could we see something about night photography next season. Have a nice one
Good show.
Ideas for segments:
Which is better print your own photos or send them out.
Any tips on the best way to use on camera flash for better candid photo.
Keep all the tips coming too.
great show.
Thank you guys sooo much I really enjoy seing the show
Great Show. More tips from Brad would be nice.
hard to come up with something not discussed on the show, but i would like to see some tips on shooting / processing some urban stuff
great job guys, keep it up!
Noticed there were only one segment of Syl Arena and David Hobby this season. I’d love to have the show keep bringing back guests for multiple segments and possibly increasing the running time of the show (hint hint).
How about a tip on getting good focus on fast moving subjects, especially with regards to nature photography.
I would to see more on hdr tips.Another great show enjoy the rest of the summer.
Mike Moffo
I would like to see more re-touching tips, and camera reviews. You guys do an awesome job. Keep up the good work. See ya in 4 weeks.
i’d like to see more shows on landscape photography and using filters…..GND, polarisers, etc.
Am trying to get my head around long exposures with 10 stop neutral density filter. Some tips would be of help. Thanks for another great season…enjoy the time off.
great show
Great show and I like the new ads. Much better thna the old ones.
Great season…come back soon.
I think a great idea would be to talk about gels and color-correcting with speedlites.
Thanks Guys! love the show!
How about syc Flash to the camera
Good show today chaps. The last few shows have been much improved.
I’d like to see the basics covered
Focus
Exposure
Camera Modes, Aperture, Shutter, Program, Auto and Manual
White Balance
Exposure Compensation
Composition
Guide to lenses, focal lengths and their effects. (and not just the expensive lenses
)
Slightly more advance with tips on RAW and tips on using of Flash, on board and supplementary Flash, both Speedlites and Studio Flash.
I can’t think of anything else at the moment.
I know some, if not all of that has been covered before, but not everyone will have seen all the episodes, and a mix of basic and advanced should keep most people satisfied.
Can I just say that whatever tip you do, please show example images when appropriate. You can describe something as till you’re blue in the face, but sometimes a demonstration image will make the subject easier to comprehend.
I thought the camera was the prize this week, seeing as it suddenly appeared on the table at the end.
lol
Hope to see you both again in four weeks. The previous holiday returns have sometimes not been very punctual though.
And if there are delays when returning, a message on the front page would be nice to keep viewers up to date on what’s going on and the changes to the schedule.
Please hurry back!
A little more outdoor and wildlife photography would be appreciated, Bring Moose Peterson on the Show!
Like to see big glass tips.
Great show as always guys! I’d like to see some info about nature photography. How about bringing in some of Florida’s best nature photographers for guest spots? Or…for a “retro” day, how about bringing in Clyde Butcher if you can get him?
See you all back here in a few weeks!
You guys are inspiring! Keep up the great work.
Perhaps you have this in an earlier episode that I missed, but a discussion about hyperfocal distance would be cool. Thanks.
Great season.
I would like to see a little more on some basics on processing raw, particularly some “cookbook” approaches to use for batching pictures.
Great show.
Good to see Scott Kelby there.
How do you recommend making the shutter noise quieter in the Nikon D3 or Nikon D700 in those situations where your surroundings are quiet without buying a blimp.
Another great show! Enjoy your guests. See you in Las Vegas
I’d like to see more on picture taking technique vs Photoshop tips.
Great show guys.
I would like to see a segment on subject interaction/posing. Everyone is so focused on the technical, that this is often overlooked.
Also, an intro to video might be helpful. I know that DSLR video can get expensive really fast, but maybe you can get Richard Harrington in for a handful of tips to get people started.
See you in four weeks.
Matt Buntyn
Great show guys. Enjoy your guests. Seeyou in Las Vegas!!
I would love to see more of Brad’s Grip Tips
Can’t wait for next month!
Great season fellas! You guys did an amazing job this season and I truly appreciate all your hard work.
As for what I would like to see next season, I personally like the equipment demos such as bags, tripods, etc. But honestly I am perfectly happy with whatever y’all come up with. Thanks again, and enjoy your break!
Great show and great season! I look forward to learning lots more next season. I would like to see a demonstration of a shoot using high speed sync. You have spoken briefly about it in a couple of episodes but I think a demonstration would be beneficial. Thanks again and I can’t wait until your next season!
Thank you for all your tips.
Jimmy
Great show. How about a show on Travel security. What to do with the gear you leave in the hotel room etc…
I would like to see a session or two on:
– Macro photography and equipment suggestions
– Using flash for macro photography
– Portrait photography and lighting for portraits
– Creative special effects
Thanks for a great season. Looking forward to your return.
Great show! RC great suggestion. Larry, keep the cheap shots coming, love them.
Ideas:

more Brad’s equipt tips “Grip Tips”
reviews on memory cards, the best for the money
information on the different features of tri-pods between models (such as the g-lock vs twist lock legs – tilt vs ball heads, etc.) if different styles are better for different kinds of photography
Thanks for all your great information. Hurry back.
Nice season. I’d like to hear tips about shooting through glasses, such as in aquarium or in zoo’s where they put animals behind a glass.
This is what I would like to see next season. How about something on rechargeable batteries, composition tips (this could be a separate segment each week), maximizing available light when shooting outdoors, using a light meter, the effects you can create with different light modifiers, explain dragging the shutter, again (maybe I will get it this time).
Thanks for another great season. See you in 4 weeks.
Great season, can’t wait till next season starts. Hope you guys enjoy your time off.
Great tips again!
Next season, how about showing some tips on extreme macro photography (2x, 4x, and 10x lifesize) using extension tubes, bellows, lens reversing rings and also how best to light in those situations.
Thanks!!
GQ
Love the idea of having up coming instructors for KT give tips like you used to have. Maybe include tips from books recently released.
I also like the gear reviews that you do. Cheap shots has always been a favorite as well.
I really enjoyed the Nikon camera menu or option tips from original season. Maybe expand that to include canon too.
I want to see more on flash photography next season. Not the typical suggestions though.
I really miss you guys when your gone, maybe the time would go faster if I had won a ticket to PSW
Lets see some things on some of the new lens lineup for say Canon, mane something on Macro.
Great! Next season I would like to see more HDR help and how to use inexpensive tools for controling light when shooting outside either on bright sunny days or cloudy days.
Hey grate show guys. A tip on how to do HDR with out bracketing on low end DSLRs. My t2i does not have bracketing.
How about reviewing camera straps, like the BlackRapid, CottonCarrier, etc. next season?
How about product photography tips? How to show beer bottles, glasses, etc?
I would like to see more on the buisness of Photography, how to promote, getting the clients, and ideas on how to get repeat sales.
I would love to go the Photoshop World, My husband is going, but money is a little tight.
Great season guys. I’d love to get your insight on composition next season, although that might not be techie enough for this show.
Have a fun break.
Thanks for another great season Guys.
How about some tips on flash photography on a limited budget for next season.
I would like to see some tips on shooting in non-perfect conditions and how to make the best of the location, especially for landscapes.
How about:
- more on location stuff where you give a tip and then execute the tip
- more of Brad’s grip tips
- and MORE COW BELL
Next season I want you to teach us the “technique” for shooting tack sharp shots with the x100.
I gotta say, your promo spots for the Kelby training stuff crack me up. Love Forrest Peterson.
Floof and run.
Great show gents.
GReat show, I would like to see more on small flash photogrphy.
I can’t thank you guys enough, I look forward every week to learn more and you inspire me to share what I know with others. Can’t wait for the next season to start. I did a photoshoot yesterday trying to take advantage of the golden hour, well before I knew it darkness had set in, I would like to see the best approach to shot night time portraits.
Thanks Guys, Great show.
a comment
Thanks a lot guys … can’t wait for the next season
Great show as alway’s
Next season I would love to see more camera settings information.
working with flash (on and off camera)
Teach the basics for good pictures..how to use a reflector, or a light box. not everyone who watches is a pro. I think we watch to absorb as much information as possable. Thanks for reading and have a great break. Can’t wait for next season!
Guys – love your work!
I’d like to see a weekly on-location slot for shooting a different type of subject or situation, eg. waterfalls, sunrises, snow, kids parties, surfing, etc etc including best camera settings and lenses, use of flash and other tricks. You could also post them as a separate and really useful online “How-To videos” site (or maybe even an iPhone/Pad app so we can take it all on location…).
Thanks for the great show and great tips.
I would like to see tips on lens selection for when you would like to buy one or even rent one.
Hi Guys! I would like to see a segment about creative uses for the different metering modes.
Hi guys, do I really have too wait 4 weeks until next episode.
Topic that I want to see in the next season.
off camera flash teqniques (on location)
Sharpening for different output (web/print)
thanks – great show
what i’d like to see next season:
please do your next featured photographer: Kobe Pallis
website: http://www.kobep.com.au
Awesome inspiring photography and super-duper post-processing. Has won MANY Australian awards.
How about syc Flash to nikon camera at night
Love the show
If you are using 2 cameras can you look at the one that is on you and not always the one in front.
Honestly, I dont know why, but this was the first D-Town episode I have seen. I LOVED it!
Am now going to itunes the lot!!!
For the next season, just more of the same please. Im just starting out with photography so this show is going to be so helpful all the way through my experience levels.
Matts book looks awesome BTW!!! Awesome!
I’d like to see some info on night photography
Great show and great season. I’m still learning Photoshop and would love the book. See you in 4 weeks.
Do a show about the gear and technique of shooting Macro Photography.
Hi guys!…Would like to see coverage on printing with inkjets (printers, papers, software,etc.)….also on Hand held meters….incident vs reflected types…..when and how to use them.
Thanks
Always a great show, Guys, but I would love to see a guest spot featuring specialist photographers offering tips on how they shoot their speciality subject. Thanks.
I don’t recall seeing any tips on monitor calibration ? Maybe tips on the surrounding lighting condition, when you view your images, and calibrate your monitor .. Now THAT would be good !!
Otherwise, good show as always ( and more talk with Jay Maisel )
Give us more stuff like Scott did next season
Next season can you guys share a tip on how to focus with the Fuji X100.
Could you also please explain why Zack Arias loves the X100 so much.
Also when does Larry get a guest spot on The Grid Live?
See ya next season.
An idea for next season:
Use a segment in each episode to fully explain how to get the most out of your speedlights. It may take several episodes to cover each tip. This will keep everyone tuning in each week to build on what was discussed on the previous episode. By the end of the season, the viewers would understand how to get the most out of their speedlights.
Thanks for teaching, its great stuff !
I would like to see more HDR, since that seem to be the Hot thing, on the background and how to apply to people.
Like Scotts tips on shadows, more idea like that. Also more on type, and how to use and pick for ones projects…..Thanks, keep up the fine work,,,wm
would iike to see more segments with industry pros like the one with Brian Matiash.
Lighting, lighting, lighting…
Great show, I would like to see night photography tips, like star trails.
Great show and season. Can’t wait for you to start again.
Would like a show explaining when to use different flash modes on the flash itself: TTL, TTL BL, Auto aperture…
What would I like to see in future episodes? I’d like to see RC not saying “at the end of the day” so much. I’m joking of course, you guys rock! But RC, it does seem like you use that phrase every time I see you, whether on DTown, The Grid, or elsewhere. In all seriousness, I wouldn’t mind seeing more tips from various big name photographers.
Great Photoshop tips from Scott Kelby.
I hope in the next season give a in depth actual hands on review on lenses, DSLR’s ,Bridge Camera, and filters.
Thanks and more power DTOWN TV staff and crew.
Would like to see some episodes devoted to flash.
Hey guys, great job as always.
The thing I would most like to see in upcoming episodes is advice on how to get to a place where an advanced amateur can make some income from photography. This episode’s segment on how to get in the door by photographing the place you want to do business with is exactly what I’m talking about. For someone who has the skills but doesn’t have a client base, what are things that will get that person started. This is what will help me the most. Thanks again for an incredibly helpful free show.
Good to see Scott and a neat Photoshop technique.
I’d love to see an episode or two on doing urban shooting – similar to the Jay Meisel (sp?) work that Scott had on the training site. How to set up the camera, what lens(s) to use, post processing, etc.
Another topic would be a little more on HDR but covering more of the post with Photoshop to add on to what was done in RC’s book.
Lastly, I noticed that RC was using a graphic tablet during his webcast with Matt on HDR and I don’t recall any episodes covering the use of these tablets and how they might improve the Photoshop process, etc. So, let’s do a session on graphic tablets – what to look for in features, size, etc. for use with Lightroom and Photoshop.
Thanks for a great season guys.
What about considering more “on location” practical tips… How to shoot normal day to day situations on the street, air show, fair, family… From settings to how to “see” the light…
Thanks to all who make possible the show! Looking forward to the next, always better, season!
Cheers!
I would like to see more of postprosession on a budget . Do I need all the latest and greatest software to get the expert photo copy.
Please remember all of us are not expert photographers with unlimited expense budgets some of us are truck drivers with a passion of photography. will miss you all and thanks for all the information. ANOTHER GREAT SHOW
Another great season, Would like to see some info on tilt shift lenses and techniques.
I would like to see more shooting tips and less software processing. Great show!
Great show. Great season. Great tips!
Next season: FLASH, FLASH, and more FLASH!
- studio portrait lighting with speedlights
- shooting sports (basketball) w/ flash
- high speed sync flash
- complex CLS setup with multiple speedlights
- strobe (repeating) flash setup
- bounce flash
(you get the idea…)
I am trying to set up a portable studio that I can carry in a few bags but get reasonable results. I would like to see something along those lines…..and do you have to take a break, 24/7 sounds good for work hours to keep the flow coming.
I would like to see longer episodes, packed with tips. How to make art? Tips on starting (or making) your photography business better. Great season guys, thanks so much!
Thanks for the great show. Keep up the good work. Maybe next sesson a show on photographing small items in a light box. Like rings, watches, wine bottles. Using different reflective surfaces under the items.
Hi ! I’d like to see more guests! Also, more on how Lightroom and Photoshop work together.
Great season!! I wanna win something, but not the Fuji X-100, I mean, even if it were free. It would suck even worse if I got it as a present for Xmas and I was supposed to have a Happy Face when I opened it… ohh that is scary. Good thing we don’t have christmas in Ukraine!
See you next season!
Great shows,
How about a show on using shutter speed to control flash photography.
Great show. Love DTOWN! I have a D300 with the MBD10 battery pack that stays on the camera all the time. I have been wanting to get an L-Bracket for it but have been having a time trying to figure which one I need to get. Is each L-bracket specific to the tripod/ballhead of that particular manufacturer or do they make one that will fit various manufacturer’s ballheads? I own a Benro tripod and ballhead, but don’t think they make an L-bracket. At least I haven’t seen one. Is there an L-bracket I can buy that will work with my D300/MBD10 and my Benro tripod? or will I have to invest in a better name brand tripod and head in order to take advantage of an L-bracket? Would like to see some tips on this in the future.
Well now you’ve done it… more season-break withdrawals. Can’t wait for next season. Thanks.
Hi guy,
great season so far! I would like some tips on shooting with wide angle lens.
See you!
André
I look forward to every episode. I’ll have to fill in with The Grid while you’re on hiatus. Gear is always great to learn about. I love doing macro, so something with a ring would be really helpful. Great prizes this time. Wow! Thanks again.
Brilliant show! Loved Scott’s tip about shadows.
Can’t wait for the next season!!
I would like to see some tips on incorporating the iPad into photography both as a business tool as well as for use with images.
How about a segment on tips for wildlife photography close to home
Great show, Lens reviews
RC, you are undoubtedly the greatest!
another wonderful show
I would like to see an episode dedicated to Micro, Macro and close-up photography, and the lenses used for them. I would also like to see an episode dedicated to full frame and dx cameras and their advantages. See you soon!
Quality show guys. How about for next season, you could give info on:
-Tripods / Ballheads
-Macro photography
If you could get Joe Mcnally on the show, it’ll top it off!
Cheers, from Sunny Singapore.
I would like to see more special lighting techniques and more about composition. I did like Scott’s technique on shadow creation and Larry’s on the use of the scrim. Thank you.
Like so many others, I would like to see more on the basics of off-camera flash (balancing flash with ambient light?). My first attempt at this was DISASTROUS!!!
Reviews on new lenses and the picture before & after.
Loved the season.
Next season, devote one shot to HDR and the different products and your analysis of the best.
Also, some portrait retouching and some portrait posing.
Four weeks is a long time…
I would like discussion on infrared photography, the type of subjects that make great infrared images.
Can’t believe the season is already up. Where does the time go:) I’d like more information on using off-camera flash beyond just using it tethered ETTL.
Thanks for a great season!
Hey Larry and RC,
I’d love to see more tips that help a hobbyist try to make a living on the side with their photography. how to book new customers, how to calibrate your setup (monitor, printer), which products to sell (photobooks, canvases, frames, etc.), and how to make the best use of your equipment so you don’t have to buy new stuff.
Thanks!
Would like to see more on the technical aspects of photography and gear. For example lenses, focusing modes, interfacing with off camera flashes, studio strobes, light modifiers and beauty dishes etc. Plus more in depth grip tips!
Great show!! Great season!! Hurry back with some flash tips….Thx
another great season, cannot wait for the next one. would like to see some stuff about exposure and getting the correct exposure in different situations
I think it would be fun to get some tips that expand on the street tour Scott did with Jay Mazel –tips for taking photos in a city, just walking down the street — esp. what to look for and what is the best (and most unobtrusive) gear to have.
For some reason my comment got posted under another uses as a reply so here it goes again: Thanks for the great season guys, you rocked it out of the park. For new episodes how about RC do more on his HDR processing like Scott did for his down & dirtry tutorial; more on presets for LR, post processing tips & shortcuts, flash photography, using a light meter, using an utlrawide zoom lens to create foregound interest and portrait photography just to name a few. And thanks for helping me from making the biggest mistake of my life…I was actually considering the X100, but I think I’ll pass for now. Hope you see you guys again in 4 weeks. Take care.
Love the show! I would like to see more on how to change menu/custom functions and their meaning. Thank you!
Another great show. I HATE the four week breaks though (sure you guys need it!)!
Another fantastic show, guys. I loved the light tent tips but especially the stripes that Larry threw down on the spoon!
Thanks again and I’ll see you in Vegas!
I always learn a lot from Dtown and look forward to the next season. I would very much like to have the pass to Photoshop World and the other items. Thanks. Richard
Hey guys! Awesome show, loved it. I would like to see more Aparture related items, such as: plugings, tips&tricks and so on. See you in four weeks. Nir
Really like this series. I’d like to see maybe a more indepth topic per week, and more equipment reviews. I attended the Shoot it Live Orlando show and really enjoy the advice the Kelby crew dishes out.
Great season. I would like to see a product review maybe every two or three weeks. I have really enjoyed the how too’s that you have been doing.
Have some great time off,
Jim
You guys are awesome!!
What about a show on what types of scenerios are good for HDR and which are not? Or something to look for when deciding a picture would be good for HDR, for those of us HDR begginers.
Great season. How about some tips to serious amateurs who want to sell their work? Where can we sell it? What type of photography sells?
Also: check out http://www.stuartschwarz.com for portrait photos.
Easy answer: GREAT, ORIGINAL photography sells. If making $ with your camera was easy, everyone would do it,,,,,and thousands are trying. good luck…..keep your day job. I did.
Love all the insight you guys give. More product reviews like on printers like the Shinko and DNP DS80 and of course the epson line
Thanks for great tips and a great season of DTown. How about night photography tips next time.
Hey Guys! Glad ya’ll got Scott to come back on for the season finale! I would like to see some tips on macro and tilt-shift photography, and uses with extention tubes. Thanks, all of you guys are awesome, and can’t wait till ya’ll come back on again!!!!
as long as I get to see more of the awesome tips I’ll be happy! especially Cheap shots and Grip Tips. REALLY useful info! Thanks for a great episode every week!
More tips. HDR perhaps.
I’d like more tips on lighting and off camera flashes. Love the show, Thanks.
Great season guys! I´d like more tips of manual WB.
Great tip on post processing.
How about tips on doing fashion shooting?
ND Grad hard and soft when and how to use each type.
I’ll be waiting for next season. Have fun at psworld.
Can’t wait till next season!
It would be great if you guys can go over how to print pictures without getting distortions or pixilation.
Also can you cover more about Aperture the editing software?
I hope Matt’s book is signed
Great show! Would love to hear from Joe McNalley on simple flash lighting
Could you include something about how to make great panoramas while handheld
Excellent season guys, cant wait for the next !
Would be great to see more more guest slots and also Larry & RC out on location sometimes, taking some pics. Have a great break.
Best wishes
Phil
Great show, guys. I’d love to see more on landscape/outdoor shooting next season.
For next season i`d like to see what`s been shown in previous seasons e.g. a mixture of topics.
Product reviews
Tips on camera use
Cheap shots
Guest slots for product manufacturers e.g. Brian Mateish + Onone software.
great show
Great Season. I would like to see a segment on ND and polarizing filters. Another idea would be how to take macros that really stand out.
Hate to see the season end; really enjoy what you guys do! Pointer for next season; pretty much ALL DSLRs have video capabilities and it’s difficult to get great results…. please give us instruction on to accomplish this. Bring in an expert or two if need be.
On the next season of D-town TV I would like to see Larry grow a mustache like RC’s.
Great show. I would like to see a show reviewing/comparing the less expensive radio triggers.
Thanks!
I would like to see dtown back to its roots. Nikon specific tips!!. Sorry guys Nikion rules. BTW great show
I would like to see som long exposure tutorials, and maybe edit them in Silver Efex Pro 2 and give some tips.
Loved Scott’s tip for creating multiple shadows….. great show to one and all.
For next season I’d love to see more Canon related flash tips as I’m over taught on Nikons’ CLS – maybe a bit of Syl Arena?? maybe? Pretty please…..
I want more …. thats it just more!
Great show guys, loved Scotts’ tip. Next year, would like to see more tips from other Kelby instructors in different fields as in nature, portrait, macro etc. Maybe 2 shows per style. Also loved it when Larry gave an assignement last year when the show ended.
DOF and macro photography.
Great job this season. New season ideas:
1. Camera flash Equipment
2. Filters
3. Tripods, Monopods & Heads
4. Memory cards & portable hard drives
5. Remote triggering devices
See you next season! – Bob
Great season guys. Some suggestions for next season:
1. Lessons using Elements 9
2. More HDR Information
3. Lighting with flash and umbrellas
4. Macro photography
5. More great tips from Larry
6. R.C. show some of his HDR tips
See you in four weeks.
How about having some tips on architectural photography? Things you can do in post to correct distortion, etc.
Also, more product reviews would be great. Loved the Epson R3000 demo and the ThinkTank bag reviews.
Please make sure that when you talk about a technique or tip, that you show a picture of what you’re talking about. The pictures of the spoons in this episode was perfect to show what the tape did to the photo subject!
Thanks, guys and see you in 4 weeks. Wish it was at PSW Vegas, but I can’t make it this year due to work. But I’d love the OnOne suite!
–John
Hi Guys! I am sorry you are leaving us for a month, but I have loved D-Town this session. Next time, I would like to see more for Canon specific users and even more specifically, changing focus points, and shooting manually.
Thanks, again.
really enjoyed the season guys!!!
I would like to see
How to shoot long exposures.
More on HDR
and Camera settings for Canon
I’d like to see some features on travel photography, flying with camera gear, street photography, editing 500 frames down to the 20 keepers what is the fastest method?
Get Trey Ratcliff to do a segment.
Vote for me!
Great tip on hiding your camera in plain sight!
I would like to see an episode or episodes on shooting multi-row panos. Favorite lens, special gear etc.
I’d like to see some segments on combining outdoor low-light, long-exposure shots with flash.
Fantastic Show: What I would like to see next year is something about setting up a home studio with both regular equipment and the cheap shot version OR a studiio on the go.
Photographing star trails
Light painting
Sharpening
When NOT to use image stabilization
Hey guys, I can’t believe another season has passed. The only thing that I ask for next season is for you to keep the HDR tips coming. I enjoy each and every one of them, no matter how big or small. Even if the tip is something that I already employ, it is reassuring to hear it come from a pro like RC.
Keep up all the great work.
I would like to see, in future episodes, a short camera review of some of the newer models that have arrived in the market space, with a few of the technological improvements that make them interesting.
Good show.
You guys have shown so much great stuff over the past seasons. How about some stuff on lighting an outside photo shoot
Great show keep up the great work!
I would like to see you cover the topic of multi flash rigs like the foursquare block and how to wired and get all the flashes to fire at the same time. Like in a softbox rig and high-speed sync in daylight explained using radio controllers, like the radio Popper Px units.
It would be nice to see a nice basic analytical (no fanboy battle) comparison of differences between a high end Canon, and a comparable high end Nikon. It’s hard to get a good idea online without a brand zealot battle breaking out.
Great tip from Scott Kelby in the last of the season thanks guys.
Scott and the shadow thing is a great tip. Thanks.
Another great season. I would love to see more tips on shooting outdoors, flash tips and maybe some on lens use.
Awesome season guys! Ideas for next season:
Take us through a shoot from start to finish such as an outdoor protrait, sports or wildlife and include everything such as: metering, ISO, f-stop, shutter speed, auto focus mode etc… for the particular camera/lens you are using. Maybe Moose could jump in on the wildlife version?
Lot’s of really good tips here and you all make it a joy to return each week.
Anxiously awaiting the next season.
Great job guys! I would love to see more about the Fuji x100!
I say keep up with the cheap shots and DIY stuff…it’s great for someone on a budget like mine.
you guys rock!
nice scott thanks for visit. good job.
love the show and Larrys cheap shots one was
just what i needed at the time.
Hi Guys,
I would like to see explanations on all the common sharping technics and suggestions when to use each one of them.
b.t.w. great show.
Thank you very much.
I’d like to see more tips on macro photograph that go beyond the basic use a tripod, dedicated lens, filter or extension tube, mirror lockup and remote shutter button that get covered in most discussions on the topic. One suggested topic might be lighting w/o using macro ring light or doing product shots or portraits w/a macro lens.
Thanks for a great season! Always learn something cool from you guys.
See ya next season!
great finale!
Another great season guys.
How about some comparisons and uses of the different types of lens protection and camera armors.
Great show. Next season… more MACRO tips, please
Great show — can’t wait for your return.
What class teaches the shadow techniques Scott was showing on today’s show? I really want to take that class!
Thanx again!!
Hey Guys great show … and have a super time off!
Next season … well let’s see …
1. Which AF option is the best for action shots or is there more than one (canon camera 7D)? How to set it up?
2. Discussion on Focus-Priority AF vs. Release-Priority AF and where and when to use them.
3. How to set up for doing video shoots with a Canon camera.
Thanks again guys!
Dennis
Hi there,
You asked: “What would I like to see next season?”
Well, everybody is back from holiday and has terrible pictures. Let’s be honest! You don’t carry you’re full equipement all the time. You have a DSLR and maybe a 18-200 lens. That’s it foor most of the time, unless you want your wife and kids to be dislocating your shoulder when you have stopped again at a nice shoot location.
The pictures I take are okay but can do a lot better. How? I learned some great stuf at DTown, but walking around Sienna in Italy with several thousand other photographers is a challenge.
So! Can you show, what you can do, walking around a village at dawn, high noon, at diner and late in the evening, with a limited amount of gear (just your DSLR and a nice lens!) No fancy stuff is allowed. Just call it: The no fancy stuff walkabout. Just like what you’re organizing every year but now with wife and kids on your back. Get the picture
See ya and keep up the good work.
Marcel
HI great season. How about more outdoor lighting tips.
Thanks for another great season.
I know there has been podcast in the past about products and flash. Can you show some intro cameras and flash for those of us who don’t have the budget for the “big guns”?
Great show guys. Scott, thanks for shadow tip.
great show guys! could you do some bits on light triggers (eg pocket wizards and the SU-800) and what the pros/cons are?
Great show
For next season I would like to see which setting on the flash to in diff. Situation
And also something about long shutter speed Would be nice
Looking forward to the new season
Another great show guys!
I’d like to see a discussion on mounting and framing images for sale or exhibits.
I would like you also demonstrate Camera function or concepts with actual shots..If you are recommending something please demonstrate with actual shots…
I would like to see some more speed light tips.
Single speed light use in situations that don’t give you time to set up shots, i.e. fill light, parades, meetings, events like marathons, etc. Great show, looking forward to next season.
thanks
I’m sad that the season is done already but the prizes this week more than makes up for it! I’m even going to be in Vegas during Photoshop World and don’t have a pass yet………
Next season I’d like to see more hands on stuff like Scott did on this episode. Keep up the good work! I look forward to this show every week.
see you next season
While post processing is important – we need more info on what to look for when shooting with post processing in mind
I love the show and would love to see more tips for shooting close up.
Would like to see some tips on bird photography.
Larry and RC,
I would like to see tips about tethering to Ipad and computers. Both wired and wireless.
The seasons go so fast. Looking forward to next season. I know you guys will be very busy for the next couple of weeks/.
Thanks,
Terrence
+1 on a great season guys!
I’d like to see some tips on photographing hummingbirds, with and without flash. Thanks!
Have a great vacation………
great show can you show some stuff
on hdr
Show a different modifier each week and how it is best used. i.e. grids, BD, BD with Grid, shoot through, reflective umbrella, small soft box, large soft box, ring light, etc. ala Zack Arias on creative live.
Heard Tony Corbell say his latest learning adventure is something a friend told him – use a softbox the size of the area you are shooting. Example a 18 inch for head shot, 28 inch for head and shoulders, 60 inch for full body.
Also said he had foam core reflectors pained different values of gray. So if a white reflector is too strong, instead of moving it back and changing the highlight/shadow mix, he puts in a light gray, or medium gray, depending on how much reflectance he wants.
Great season and now I will go into hibernation for 4 weeks! Thanks.
Yes !
I would like to see more tips on Industrial Photography ….
Thanks ..
PS:I am enjoying your shows thoroughly …
The first season was great (and addictive) because DTown was so new. This past season was just as good as that one! You’ve earned some rest time.
Going forward:
-> Digital photography is so complicated, how about getting your guests to list “My High Five” list of simple pointers on how to approach portraits, night photos, fill flash — whatever. You could also put the pointers (abbreviated) on a PDF via your site with promo/link for show – something we could pass on to friends and recruit new viewers for you.
-> Couldn’t some of your top photographers send in their #1 personal favorite photo which you could leave on the screen while, via a “D-Line” phone call, they tell us what was the #1 thing they learned by taking the photo (either in the imaging or processing stage)? We could study their work while they talk about it for a few minutes. The photog wouldn’t actually need to be in the studio for this, which could expand your guest list.
-> Lastly, photo books are darned expensive. Why not a real good-vs-bad review of a new book each week (like the movie critics do) so we know whether the cost is worth it? Other than the Kelby trainer’s books you already spotlight, this would open your book topics to include the many other photog-authors who publish works that might be worthy of our attention. And knowing what Larry and RC didn’t like about a book could be just as valuable as knowing what they liked.
Appreciate your asking for viewer input. But DTown is already the not-to-miss show for me, just the way it is! Have a good month away from the studio…
Great show guys.
For the next season I would like to see some tips on panos, and also the best way to show panos on the internet.
Great season guys! How about some more HDR tips, and besides the post processing, which of course is key, tips on the capture of the bracketed images. And, how to train your eye to see what may be a great HDR image. See ya in 4. Peace.
Neet shado tip
Another great season. Can you do a segment on posing or shot set up . Any tips to help the average guy taking pictures at a family event would be appreciated.
Great show guys. How about some more info on shooting with multiple speedlites?
Great season.
great season
You guys are awesome! I would love to see more on using an external Flash. I know that Sony is not a sponsor, but would you ever consider talking about Sony’s line of DSLRs? Thanks, love your show!
Thank you for a great season.
In the next season I would like some tips on flash photography and radio triggers.
And also some tips on how to get rid of bokeh and how to get crystal clear images (how much noise should I accept etc.).
Take care
Jesper
You guys put on a great show with some quality tips. For future episodes I wouldn’t mind seeing more on portraits (eg. lighting tips, equipment suggestions/uses, posing). Thanks.
Love the gear tips by Brad, also maybe more info on speed lights.
Lots of great suggestions already posted. I would like to see more on camera settings. And, I’m struggling with product shots of highly reflective objects. So, any help on lighting and diffusing the lights without having to buy $$$ softboxes would be most welcome.
Thanks for all you share!
Enjoy the show – for the future
1 please explain the relationship between
iso, aperature, shutter speed, ambient light ,flash – first/second curtain and the resultant shot– ie 2 yr old blowing out- spitting on cake at birthday party– and showing the people in the background.
Thankd
Would love to see more flash instruction.
Would like to see more post processing. Saw this photographer named Calvin Hollywood. He does this really cool post processing. I think you had him before on the show. Having Calvin vs. Matt to battle on who does a better processing should be cool. Then RC vs. Calvin vs. Matt on HDR (I think RC will win this). Overall I like to see tips on post processing. Like you just mentioned, everyone does post processing now.
And more cheap shots! Larry Becker just saved me hundreds of dollars. How about an interactive show where you can get tips from other photogs who makes their own cheap shots? Like posting a video responses on YouTube or sending you guys videos of what other people did to save money, of course Larry Becker inspired cheap shots.
You guys helped a lot of photogs who wants to learn the art like myself! Thank you!!!
Great show as always, thanks!
How about tips for using the iPad for photography?
Thanks.
I love all the shows and tutorials. I just purchased a D700 and would like to see more tutorials next season.
I would like to see some lighting setups with your DSLR.
thanks Mike
hi. me and my wife love to travel, take pictures of places and stuff. just for personal use, posting on social networks for friends to see, etc. my thing is i’m having a hard time taking good photos at night time or in a low light environment. i’m considering on buying a flash. any suggestions, tips (on choosing the right flash and how to use ‘em) ? i’m using a d90 with 18-105 3.5-5.6 (kitlens), i also have a 50 1.8.
thanks a lot.
Gone miss you guys. For next season how about talking about how to buy 2nd hand lines nd cameras?
Love the show. There have been so many great ideas left by everyone that I don’t have any to add. I do wish the show was longer though. How ’bout an extra 15 minutes? Can’t wait for the new season.
I’m always looking for HDR shooting tips.
great show
I would love to see a tip on using the PC-E lenses that Nikon has. I have seen awesome pictures with them and I’m thinking about getting one but I hear they come with a learning curve. I also like how at the end of last season you guys gave us a little homework assignment and I would like to see more of those. It’s always good to have something to practice.
Awesome season guys! I would like to see more on shooting long exposures with digital SLR.
Thanks,
HR
More on shooting, less gear, less postprocessing.
I loved Larry’s light tent tip.
Thanks, Roman
Has it come to the end of the season already??? Great show & season guys!
As for next season I’d like to see:
- more guest tips from the like of Syl Arena & David Hobby. It was cool to see some new faces on the show.
- more product / gears comparisions on the show, rather than showing single products in isolation.
- more info on strobist flash for all photographers (not solely the Nikon CLS system, great as it is) i.e. trigger types, costs, set-up etc
I realise the current episode duration is limited so it would be great if the episode length could be increased too
This would allow for more in depth discussions on some of the episode topics.
Keep up the good work!
Please keep up the good work. The show is great.
I have some tips for next season:
– add some columns to the show done by other people
– a little less talk, or accompanied by a bit more hands-on tips/ demo’s
– a bit more user intervention, such as weekly task/ challenge for watchers of the show (you show the top 5 next week. Prices not needed if you ask me).
Till next ‘season’ in about 4 weeks!
You could do a whole show on HDR. Shooting and processing. Also you compare the various looks possible using the various programs available. Good job!
Stealth shooting with your Fuji…eh?
A quick way to introduce Gaussian Blur…r….r!
once again great show. LOVED your tripod tip RC!
Great Season Guys! How about some info on producing a great platinum image
What a great season guys. Have been getting my shutterbug friends to watch it evert chance they get.
Next season how about segregating the tips for commercial, landscape, wedding etc photography genres and have one small tip for say, 3 groups at a time? That way your show can appeal to even more people 100% of the time.
See you in a month!
OMG I am going to have withdrawal till the new season starts. How about some info on flash photograhy
I love this show
With all the chances of running into some “Bad Weather” situations, how about a short segment on foul-weather photography (and how to protect your camera and gear). Living in the great Pacific Northwest… this could be an awesome topic!
Thanks for all the hard work you all do to put D-Town together!
-Gary-
Hey guys, great show as usual. I would love to see some more specific “Do’s” and “Don’ts” of HDR. And maybe some stuff on black and white.
Good show on the addition of shadows. Next season would like to something about the different systems used to clean sensors in the camera.
Love your show! Would love to see more gagets and bags.
another great show. Loved Scott’s tip. Would
like to see more on shooting with natural light.
See ya’ ffm
Most of the previous 280+ suggestions are good for next season. My faves: Night shooting, cheapshots, Wacom tips, radio triggers like the new Poc Wiz, Printing tips, Also some teaser tidbits from the Kelby Training guys like Ziser etc (which may generate more subscriptions). Thanks to Brian M for all the OnOne sponsorship.
How do I put an image in the little icon space where the little man icon is?
LOVED the Moose at M. Valley promo. After shooting an Ironman triathlon from 5:30 A.M. til midnight, I can relate.
PLEASE return to Hawaii with a tour. The Grid, dTown and PSTV are great to keep us “in the loop” way out here in the middle of the Pacific.
BTW, the Fuji Black Ops Ninja assassin squad is looking to punch your ticket, so watch your back. Their new prototype camera is really a poison dart gun in disguise, ala the old Soviet poison umbrella trick.
Keep the learning coming, we live for this stuff. Jock
Enjoy your show and watch it faithfully.
For your future episodes I would like you to run through benefits of lenses ranging from macro to fast glass telephoto. when you should use and not use. Thanks
Great Info as ususal.
My idea is having RC or Larry visit one of the viewers for a shoot. I shoot dirt track racing weekly and would love to have one of you guys stop in. Bet it would be a blast for everyone!!!!!!
Great show as always!
Great show again guys. Gonna miss it.
Some ideas: Cheap Shot light mods or lighting tools. Bring back Grip Tips. Using various camera settings together (i.e. set manual ss/ap, then let Auto ISO manage exposure).
The tips from Scott are awesome, I’ve gotta try that! The things I wold like to see in upcoming shows is more talk on camera equipment, lighting equipment. How some of it is used and reviews on the equipment or at least your honest opinion of the equipment! Keep up the great work!!!
A session on how focus points work would be great.
More on how 2 get the shoot right
Thanks a lot for the shows.
1. Focusing modes, when best to use.
2. Metering modes, ditto.
3. More cheap shots!
Hey guys, I love your show. Have you ever considered doing a separate “paper” magazine for just photography? I would buy it in a heartbeat. Even if you don’t make a separate mag, how about a 10 page section each issue of Photoshop User magazine like you have with Lightroom? I just seen Scott’s new Light It magazine for the Ipad but, sorry, I don’t have that kind of money for an Ipad purchase. Hope to hear a reply. Thanks.
Great show guys. As someone just getting into photography. I’d like to see some beginners tips. On when using certain peieces of equipment.
I would love to see tips and tricks on how to shoot certain events like outdoor car shows, air shows, concerts, and county fairs. This are just a few that I can think of.
How about posing for portraits and
how to even out skin tones in Lightroom 3.
Would love to see those in the show but maybe I could learn them at PSW!
I would like to see how you choose what material to make prints on (metal, canvas, paper). There seems to be so much different options now and i was wondering if there are any guidelines to pick a media for a type of picture.
How about a weekly product review ala Siskel and Ebert — Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down (with an appropriate back and forth debate)
Great show. How about, I don’t know..
last show of season? awww…. Great shadow mini-tutorial from SK — looking forward to using that.
Next season? Would love more on workflow and tagging.
Thanks!
I would like to see next season is photo taken with low end cameras
I would like to see more on the resource management side of workflow (backups, catalogs, etc…)
Nice show again, great advices
Great show u made me à Beter photographer
I woud like more postprocessing in THE show
Great show, liked the comments on hiding camera, particularly since I drive a mini-van. Would like to see more on outdoor photography, most of us don’t have the luxury of a fully equipped indoor studio or thousands of dollars worth of lighting equipment.
loved this episod
Great tip from Scott!
How about macro photography equipment and tips…. or slow motion…
Thanks guys.
Great job ! once again.
I’d like to see more on Macro photography. It hasn’t been covered in quite some time.
Great show!
I would like to see some tips on off-camera flash with manual and ttl control in the next season.
Another wonderful season of DTown. Maybe next season you could do a little more off camera flash technique. Seems as though more and more of us are trying to get a grip on this.
Thanks guys and keep up the good work
Another excellent show!
Is that a camera body with no cap I can see up on one of the shelves?? …
I’m going to have DTown withdrawal now!!
For what it’s worth, it’s great to see Scott Kelby on the show, but you guys are doing a terrific job filling his and Matt’s shoes!
For next season, in no particular order, I’d like to see some more of:
- using off-camera Speedlights
- OnOne tips & info
- gear/camera reviews
- how to have fun with light painting
- night photography techniques
- portraiture tips
- how to: tabletop product shooting (tools, backdrops, etc)
- Lightroom tips!
These are just a few topics that popped into my sleep-deprived head.
Thanks for a great season!
Take care,
Jen
Another great show – fitting end to a cracking season.
A bit of a cop-out but more of the same, please. Thoroughly enjoy the passion you both portray when reviewing an item/idea you’ve been enthused by. Larry’s concealment suggestions; RC’s sample offerings to prospective clients, Think Tank’s Airstream and Fuji X100 (just kidding)!
Thanks Guys
I would love to see more OCF techniques and hardware. Thanks guys, love the show!
Let’s see more shooting techniques next season; lighting, posing, etc…
Great show, see you in four weeks.
Just bought a D7000. Thanks for all the first season! It really helped me on my move from Pentax to Nikon.
Great show, like Cheap Shots. How about an item on using Speedlites as fill-in flash?
Brilliant show! I would love to see a beginning to end photo creation. From clicking the shutter on site with commentary on composition and lighting to image selection and then finish with post processing. You could have it be a multi-episode thing to keep the viewers coming back.
NEXT SEASON:
Enlarging photos using software such as
Genuine Fractals. Thanks
Great season guys…..suggestions for next season:
1) How about some tips for shooting video with some of the new DSLRs that have that feature
2) Wireless Flash (Pocketwizards)
I would like to see one in studio three lighting session with changing ratios. You guys do a great job and I think this would would only be a minor challenge.
All of the guys do a wonderful job. I have learned so much from all of you!
I would try to stick to 20-25 minute segments, but concentrate more actual DSLR tips, shooting styles, lighting tips, POSING tips, camera tips and tricks (Nikon AND Canon! none of the rest matter, right?)…and less about Photoshop or other software. PhotoshopUserTV does a great job of teaching about software, this show should concentrate on the hardware – cameras, lighting rigs, etc. Which for the most part you do…
I know there are only so much you can cover without repeat.
Just wanted you guys to know that I love this site! I am about as amateur as you can get but am eager to learn more. This has truly helped me. Keep up the good work!
I’m a big fan of D-Town since day one.
I recently discovered D-Town TV and I’m hooked! Thanks for a great show! I’d love to see more techniques for on-location shooting and working with available light in various conditions.
Hi guys, I watch your shows as often as I can. Ideas for next season? Well, many of us shoot a lot of family photos. I would like to see a series of tips, like “How to improve…”
* The childrens party
* Christmas/Thanksgiving
* Children sport
* Grandparents
* Seasons of the year
I’m not thinking about beginners level, but more like tips about how to think to raise your “creative bar”.
Also I’d like too see a story about making a photo project (could also be a full video for Kelbytraing.com). I mean, how to choose the subject, how to realize your idea, how to make a plan, how to shoot, how to prestent your project…
Keep up the good work guys!
wow, that season went fast and wow, you guys are growing into your own. good job.
Ron
Matt’s Book Photoshop Compositing is not on iTunes
I’ve been gone for a month, but got back and watched the show – I missed this good s#*t!
Glad to be back!
I would like to see some info from Moose and others on air-to-air or air-to-ground photography please!
Interesting shows as always.
I love all your stuff….I just wish you guys would make it more Android friendly.
Also tell Scott to please, please, please make his new iPad magaziine available for us Andriod Tablet users.
Great show!
I would really like a segment for amateur photographers who are learning. A couple of seasons ago, scott did a segment for beginners, and I was hoping to see a little more of that.
I like to see how the pro’s shoot, which is why I keep watching the show, but a little more beginner-oriented stuff would be great! (not the “what is aperture”-kind of stuff, but what can I do to practice, how can I make my ‘holiday-shooting’ more professional looking, what can I do to use my DSLR to the fullest, while I can’t afford expensive lenses, speed lights, etc, and don’t get to shoot beautiful models in great lighting conditions or in a studio
) so yeah…hope you get what I mean 
i’d like to know about location tips
Hi guys, great season by the way. As a long time member of Kelbytraining and NAPP, here a few things I’d love to see develop further on your show.
1) Off camera flash techniques at NIGHT! Like: Incorporating the environment, using city lights in background/or as main light, how about with flash modifiers (snoots/gels/etc..) (instead of the overly done “Fill flash, indoor bounce techniques…”
2) Show an on location video of “How to photograph landscapes, but particularly how to obtain “Sharp Focus” from foreground to background.. (ie. where to place the focus point, what metering mode, aperture, etc…) of course this has to be done with a DSLR (NIKON
(please no Fuji X100 
’ LOL
3) A series on how to shoot HDR backgrounds… (could be done is several shows – as it was done by Matt and Scott during their LENS episodes…)
Hope this helps, I have many more but you guys have a lot to read already… Looking forward to next season… Thanks..
Great show! I’m starting to get into using flash outdoors. In particularly with a bit of action. I like to see an episode talking about high synch off camera. Like the PocketWizard for Canon.
Love the show!! More of the same!!
Great season guys!!!! I truly enjoy and learn with each episode.
Would it be possible to do a segment of restoration of old or damaged photos? I know there are many folks that are volunteering their time and efforts with restoring photos from disasters. It might help to get that word out and also increase the number of folks willing to help.
Again…..thanks so much!!!!!
I have watched all your shows and think what you are doing is fantastic stuff.
The one thing I don’t remember seeing you speak of is macro photography. I think it would be good if you could do a segment or three on macro lenses, extension tubes,close-up lenses and techniques.
Lots of photographers do macro work and I believe it would be popular and appreciated.
Love the show guys. I think it would be great if a master list of products could be created. Often you show great products and later you may think about it but it’s like what show was that on I can’t remember who made that light , or umbrella, bag or whatever. Remembering what show it was on would be as impossible as watching them all to find what you are trying to remember.
I like to see comparisons of the different straps and holsters in the market (e.g. Black rapid, Spider Holster, etc.). By the way, ‘Love your show.
How about something on Underwater Photography?
I would like to know how you would use the new SaberStrip to control the light spill without using flags and how to hold several of them to a light stand with a A clap, and finally how would you use these modifiers in several ways
Great show as always. Next season I’d like to see more stuff about landscape and wildlife photography.
I liked the tip about hiding cameras and gear in plain sight… Liked Scot Kelby’s demo of shadows…
For next season… I liked the segment RC did about various kinds of print paper… do something again on that… also I love episodes on various lenses… and camera reviews… also going through some of the major parts of the camera… major aspects of photography (depth of field… shutter speed)…. the relationship between increased ISO and camera noise… and how to get rid of it…
I love segments on gear… as well as info on helpful websites like Really Right Stuff, Think Tank, and maybe a segment on useful periferal gear (like knee pads… small flash light… and what kind of lens cleaning kit to have with you…
Also… a segment on various printers and the ones you like the best…
You guys do a good job… you obviouslsy love photography and you’re enough down to earth to find it comfortable to listen. It is this program that finally got me to subscribe to Kelby Training. Thanks.
I would like to see stuff on flash photography; it’s all Greek to me.
Hey guys,
I love the show and look forward to next season! Please continue with the sense of humor – it makes for an interesting and fun show. Would like to see some photo tips on still life; for example how to light and take some shots of gun collections, glasses etc… What kind of lenses and light boxes?
Hope to see you all at Photoshop world in Las Vegas!
Thanks …..Gloria
Thanks Larry and RC for all your valuable and creative inputs! I thought I would know my D300 but I always learn something new like the klick on the center of the wheel to return the focus point to the center.
Here is another question where I would love to hear something about in the next season: Do you use teleconverters? Scott Kelby mentions the use of them in his book but there are a lot of voices against them – especially in the digital world. I recently read that the quality is better or equal if you enlarge the image with Photoshop or other tools instead of using a TC. What do you think about optical vs digital (example: Nikon 70-200 with TC-2)?
Thanks for the great inputs!
I’d like to see some more wildlife tips.
More printers & paper
Would like to see more on lighting in studio and outside
Excellent season guys.
Can you guys do a segment on the magic lantern firmware for canon dslrs?
thanks again guys for a great show/season. Love the product shot segment that Larry did. The piece of tape trick blew me away. So simple, yet I’ve never thought about that. So yes, any other tips and tricks about product setup/shooting would be awesome.
Thanks for a great season!
I would like to see more on flash tips and tricks, or any portable diffusers (or even DIY from cheap shots) for lightweight casual travel purposes that can potentially enhance an image from strictly using natural lighting.
Great show!!!! In future shows I would like to know if there is a relationship between metering and AF Area mode. Example: If I set the AF selector to Single Point AF and metering method to 3D Matrix, will both still work as set? Are the 51 point auto focus points doing double duty as metering points? I am currently shooting a D300s. Thanks for the show. I have learned a lot since watching… keep up the good work.
I would love to see your take on shooting in manual for someone weening off of aperture or shutter priority.
Great season!
Could you consider adding a “3 Minute Post Processing” tip segment showing step by step transformation from original to final for various shots.
Great show !
Just discovered D-Town TV. I have a lot of old episodes to view while waiting for your new season to begin. Thanks for all of your hard work for all of us out here.
I have always bought a camera bag which have looked like book bags and so many people have told me that it didn’t even look like a camera bag. And esspecially with this type of bag you won;t have to worry about someone breaking into your car for that and your camera is packed with proper padding.
Hello
It seems silly but if you could discuss pros/cons of watermarking. Then if there is tome show how to create a watermark for photos in Photoshop (or elements) and then insert it to Aperture or Lightroom export. For some of us starting up websites it might be a good discussion.
Thanks. Great show.

i watch every week and next season would like
to see more on pp
Great season! looking forward for another even greater season. Thanks RC & Larry!
Hi guys,
I need tips on how to make ordinary family photos more interesting. I always carry my D300 (to my family’s frustration) and would really like to come home with something different.
Thanks!
Love the Fuji joke!
Great episode.
Suggestions for next season:
“What will I take with me for a football-/wedding-/holiday-shoot and why”.
Travel light – what I use for “daily shooting”.
Explaining obscure camera menu settings.
Cross-referencing to older episodes (F-Stop does … explained at episode x season y).
Weekly or monthly photo assignment + flickr-group
But all in all… go on like you are. It’s a great show! Thanks for all!
I would like to see you guys discuss what the best type of RAW format to shoot in, lossless compressed, compressed or uncompressed. Also which bit, 12 or 14. Thanks, Great Show.
Good job! See you next season.
you could have an ideal blog here! would you like to make some invite posts on my weblog?
Fantastic show guys, well done and keep them coming.
I have an idea for a DTown drinking game – every time RC says “Phenomenal”, you drink (if you can’t hold your alcohol that well, only drink when he says “Phenomenal phenomenal”).
Next, you drink when RC claims that someone “turns around”, i.e. “Larryturned around and said”, or “Scott turned around and took the shot”. Again, if you can’t hold your alcohol, only drink when RC says that an inanimate object turned around (i.e. Lightroom turned around and applied the effect” or “the camera turns around and won’t write to the card”.
:-p
Thanks for turning me on to 500px. A great site. Pat_Windward.500px.com
