  3. cool show long tim no see!

  4. Allen says:

    Loved the show guys! Love the giveaways. I think one of my favorite parts of your show is seeing what other photographers do through your highlights, the things that you come up with are incredible!

  5. John Havord says:

    Good to have my weekly “fix” of DTown.
    Keep up the good work.

    Excellent show
    I learned a……. lot

  10. Denis says:

    A gardening kneepad has just moved from the garage to my photo gear bag. Brilliant!

  11. RON says:

    I liked the wedding tips, and Larry..
    That garden mat is an awesome thing, I’ve been using them for years. I had a black canvas material slip over made for mine. Makes it more guy like than the funky colors they come in.

    Ron

    and I could sure use the remote for my canon for hdr shooting

  12. Andy says:

    Good tips.

  13. Dave Nunez says:

    Thanks for looking at the Tamron 24-70 VC!
    I’m still undecided if the advantage of the image stabilization outweighs the slight loss in center sharpness and vignetting vs. the Canon version.

    Also, does the zoom ring turn in the same direction as Nikon lenses [clockwise] rather than ‘normal’ Canon way? Thanks :)

  14. Denis Leblanc says:

    RC and Larry work well together to produce great shows. I really liked the revue on the Tamron 24 to 70.

  15. Jesper Mathiesen says:

    Love the show

  16. Paul Montecalvo says:

    I liked the wedding tips and would love to have some outdoor wedding tips on lighting

  17. Joseph Myers says:

    Hey, I like your show.

  18. clinton ferrara says:

    good show. got a wedding coming up. i’m inspired.

  19. shirley h says:

    Luv your show!

  20. Doug says:

    Thanks for another great show!

  21. Chuck Sider says:

    All your books should be spiral bound. It’s worth the extra money.

  22. fritz meyer says:

    Ihave a Tamron 500 mm that I love. Keep
    those good tips coming. ffm

  23. William Chinn says:

    If you like the ideal of the spiral binding but didn’t win or already bought the book, Fedex Office (the old Kinkos) will coil bind the standard book for under $9. It requires a cut, drilling the small holes, and inserting the coil. Well worth the add’l cost.

    Really want the Rogue accessories. Please.

  24. Wow this show is very fun an informative hi from Tijuana Mexico to everybody.

  25. Jeff Grooms says:

    It’s thursday again :) good show guys. Great wedding tips from Michael. I can use those and others I have learned from Kelby Training. How about some macro tips and use of a macro rail. Look forward to next week show

  26. Another great show. Thanks !!!!

  27. Dave Walters says:

    Great to have Larry back.

  28. shelly says:

    thanks for the great guests, tips, and banter.

  29. Mike Brown says:

    That garden mat is also good for getting down to the children’s level when doing kids portraits.

    Get a couple extras to give them something to play with while your shooting.

    Make a couple of covers for them in various colors to go with whatever they are wearing.

  106. Lewis Johnston says:

    With 113 episodes of D-Town TV, it is hard to find a particular episode with a particular guest or topic. Some sort of searchable index on the site with topics, guests and products would be a great help.

    Winning the Vello Wireless Remote (Canon) would be super.

    A lot of times it looks over done and not real and on the other hand its artist license, any advice on this would be gratefully received.

  222. While the new LR4 book with the spiral binding is neat – the e-book for iPad or Android is even better.

  223. Greg Snider says:

    Love it when Larry gets a chance to be on the show. Always good to have “Practical Larry” with his ideas.

  224. Doug says:

    Some great give aways guys.

  232. My wife hates your show——– cause I don’t get my honey dues done. dtowntv is addictive and it is so hard to wait a week for the next show. Thanks for the great show guys——–

  233. I am glad to find D-Town covering more than just Nikon cameras. While many of the tips you offered translated to all camera types, I am a Canon shooter, and would like more news/tips/tricks for that (and other) brands.

    I am about half way threw the first season, but had to skip ahead out of curiosity to season 2.

    Love the show, keep them comin’

    Hi there, you guys are great!

    Today all is digital but what about old printed photos where the negative was lost. Should one scan these in or take a picture to re-digitize the printed pictures? What would you suggest is the better and quicker solution? If shot, shoot first a greycard to then later have an easyer process in Lightroom?

    Thanks for a reply.
