thanks to Pete but the show still rocks!
Great show. Good to know about the spider holster
AWESOME SHOW once again!!
Wow! Nice show! Great holster belt Pete! Next thing you know with your rig, your pants are down your knees! LOL
OMG!
Pete you’re a GIANT next to Larry!
Good show about spider holster. Keep it up!
I’ve been watching DTown since the first season. Enjoyed this show. I would love a Nikon lens bracelet. BTW, What day/time is the show broadcast live?
Video, Schmideo. Who cares about video. Give the prizes to someone else if you draw my name for the give aways. Video is NOT photography!
Really liked the interview with Doug Sonders. He really has a class attitude. He seems like a really nice guy with a good attitude toward those that might not have attained to what he has. Should be a lot more people in the world with that type of attitude. Also, like the spider holster tip. I will definitely look into it. Great show.
Great Show!
Great tips guys!!!
I’m Pete’s Love Child!…We’ll biggest fan anyway.
Great job guys.. thanks for the show. Really enjoyed it. Spider holster looked pretty cool! Thanks again!
Can’t ever get enough of Pete! Love his sense of humor and enthusiasm. Of course, I see him every time I go to the picture frame area at Hobby Lobby, too!
Thanks for the great show.
what is happening to all firewire 800 card readers?
While I think video is interesting, I don’t care to do serious video myself. As that industry grows, maybe there is room for a video only show . The reality for me is that if I wanted to do video I’d have any one of the numerous units out there now that do all the right stuff with none of the “special” settings knowledge required
1. Thanks for the DSLR video tips.
2. Kansas City? Remember there is a KC, Kansas and a KC, Missouri. Lost track of a relative when he went to KC. Assumed Kansas with no luck. Years later found him in Mo.
3. If you are a wide body wearing a holster, beware of narrow doorways and walking through street crowds. That’s why moving trucks have signs saying wide load.
Can you comment on using the holster with a battery grip on a tripod with a quick release. Is the battery grip stressed in terms of the shifting weight of the camera/lens combo?
I really like that Spider Holster, how do you think it would hold up riding a recumbent cycle ?
Great show guys!
Larry, thanks for the basic tips on using our cameras in video mode. Have had my DSLR for two years and for whatever reason have yet to do video.
Question to Pete: By carrying your camera as you illustrated with the Spyder holster does it not increase the chances for bracket wear between the camera and lens?
Thank you for yet another terrific show.
Love the show… how about some studio tips?
wow another great one
Great tips!
Any tripod review shows?
I’d be worried the Spider Holster would pull my pants down.
But if Pete, swears by it, it must be golden. So either Pete is pretty tall, ot RC and Larry are short. I’m betting on the later.
Great show. The video tips are relevant since it’s a common function of DSLRs these days.
great show guys.
Thanks again for a great show!
LARRY i LIKE YOUR SHIRT
Interesting show but I don’t really have an interest in video with my DSLR.
Nice job Pete… :–)
Larry great looking shirt
Thanks for another informative show. The Spider Holster looks cool.. I was thinking of getting my Dad a Black Rapid strap for Father’s Day, but now I’m considering this as an option.
First off, welcome Pete, good job! Is that enough crawling to win a prize
Great tips about DSLR video, think I’ll stick to the old Panasonic camcorder for that!
excellent show,,,kewl tips,,,Sonders was great !
thanks for all the great tips! I was on photo walk with Pete in DC and he did have all that hanging from his belt. I would not say he looked like a “goober” though.
Nice show!
Pete you are a breath of fresh air y’all. Cool holster
Always interesting.
Good show. Wacthed the Grid this week and are there any tips to use midday light (very bad lighting) to make a better picture when people are on vacation and it is the only time they are going to be at a particular site?
Great show. I will be waiting until next week due to time zone differences. I’m at work when you guys are on the air!! Give me something to look forward to on Friday!! Have a great day!
just another try – enjoyed show
review effects of different focal lengths on portrature. Discuss why you selected one piece of gear vs another
Love all my RRS stuff. Tripod looks interesting.
Pete Collins is terrific. Good tip on the camera holster. Will give it a try. The bracelet is cool!
Great show. Nice to have Pete visiting.
Great tips on video.
great show
Great show guys!
a comment
Way to go, Pete. (Fellow Canon user).
Great show as always
Great show Larry and Pete! I’m glad y’all are bringing in some video tips (I need them)!
Thanks for the tips on shooting video with the DSLR. Just starting new with the video and every tip helps
Nice holster you got there.
Hi guys, appreciate the intro tips for still shooters trying the video. You are definitely right about quite different approach, thanks for hints.
Doug what a WONDERFUL tip! I believe in Karma.
excellent show, as usual.
You should be better known in France
Just love that holster!
Hey guys, why don’t you announce the giveaways winners??
Great show
Great Show. I keep all your episodes on DVD.
Hi Pete nice job.
Cool.
Another great show guys! Can’t wait til next episode.
Great show, once again. And I think you’re smart every week, though I would be a tad more impressed if you’d give me some stuff =). Thanks!
Great show, I think I saw my name on that book.
As always the show was great
Great show guys, I love the spider holster !
Cheers
Phil.
Great show.
Interesting show
Love your show
pete’s funny.
I enjoyed the video tip. I’ve been on the lookout for legacy lenses, but as more people shoot video, they are getting the same idea, and manual lenses are getting more expensive.
I like the Spider system concept. Perhaps you should demo taking it from the holster to a tripod or mono pod.
I almost didn’t watch this one when I read the description because I didn’t think any of the topics interested me, but nevertheless I learned quite a bit.
Great snow. Are you and RC feuding? It’s been a while since you two have done more than two consecutive shows together. : )
Thanks for the video tips, I needed those!
The video tips were awsome … but so is the whole show !!!! THANKS GUYS !
Another great show. Do miss RC though.
Great Show as always
great show
Thanks for the video tips!
great show !
great show
thanks
Great show guys! Larry, be nice to Pete!
What Doug said about supporting your local community reminds me of the recent post on Rick Sammon’s blog. A photographer took a class with 2 “pros” and had nothing nice to say about them. They were unhelpful and even rude to the students.
Definitely NOT Kelby Training material!
By the way, you should read what the student wrote about the pro’s “tips!” You’ll get a laugh.
“Never shoot RAW…”???

Grest show guys. How about some photography shirts to giveaway sometime?
As someone who is quite clumsy with things on his side, I am not certain that the Spider Holder would work for me but I do like those kind of tips. Thanks, Pete. As for video, if you focus at the greatest zoom level and then back off, everything should be in focus as long as the camera does not move after focusing. We used the same technique for still photography when shooting quickly because there was no time to re-focus and a telephoto lens was used. Of course, that was 40 years ago…
Great show guys! And love the “Talk Nerdy to me” Shirt.
Great show guys!
really cool episode
Great tips this week, nice to see Pete
very cool tips!
thank’s guys!
Pete you’re a Gunslinger with that Spider Holster.
Great show, I have the spider belt and I really love it.
One more time…..another great show. I agree with alot of the others about video. DSLR’s/SLR’s were designed for stills, thats our craft and we strive for expertise in our field. Video is a whole different genre. I do like the fact that PS has some video capabilites, but our focus is still images. If our programs and our tools start straying too far they will become mediocre at what they’ve tried so hard and so long to perfect.
Would love to see a comparison of high ISO. On today’s upper level dslr, especially the D700 vs d7000.
Thanks guys.
Very nice tips and after a long weekend shooting my family’s trip, my shoulder are longing for this spider holster …
Nice tip on shooting videos.
Great show guys.
Another good tip to pass through, since Photo and video have different setups tell your audience that if your camera has shooting menu banks or prel-loadable setups, make one set up for Photo and one for video.
thanx for the tips…
Really liked the camera carrying belt.
Awesome show!!! Pete rocks!!!
Thanks Pete for standing up for the truth (a.k.a. Canon)!!!
Come back Pete!
Great show! Thanks for the video tips. I got a D7000 not long ago but I haven’t even touched the video part of it. Will give it a try.
Great show!
Welcome Pete! Great show.
Great show last ep Larry! Welcome back RC and the gang!
Nice show
yep, trojan warning also
Nice show, guys…
Nice show! Cool tips on video, and hoping to get pete’s see belt
You really let Pete on the show!
Good to see you on the show Pete!
Great show today.
Hi
First time i saw you’r show! Really nice stuff
Great show on DSLR Vidio
Great to see Pete filling in on D-Town…Great Job
Love the tips
Nice focus tip with the Nikon.
It is incredible how much taller Pete is than Larry or RC. All the other shows have him sitting down.
Wow, Pete, first time I saw you standing! Didn’t realize you were so tall when I saw you at PSW.
great show
Nice demo of the spier thing, Pete
As usual, an informative show. One comment above was a good suggestion about a show eith tips for shooting at mid day when you have no choice in the matter, like a sporting event, or outdoor wedding. Some ideas for a show about this could include: fill light, dynamic range settings for such contrasty lighting, exposure comp and spot metering. or just pray for overcast sky.
I haven’t had good luck with video these tips should help thanks
get show.
I just switched to a DSLR that can record video, so this show was really helpful, thanks guys!
Please I like to see more of wedding photography.
Thanks.
PS : After watching Jerry Ghionis videos @kelbytraining I change 360% the way that I had about photography.
I like him so much.
great show
I need to get more involved in the community. Great tip, Douglas Sonders!
Another great show guys. Keep up the good work.
Too much void chat guys… We need more tips and practical examples on photography. OK?
You guys are great as usual. BUT! I have to say I resent paying for video on my still DSLR camera! I don’t shoot and will never shoot video, so why do I have to pay for it! If the video wasn’t there I could most probably could afford a better DSLR camera. So, I have to say this episode was red rag to a bull. If I want a video camera I will buy one. Call me a dinosaur, that is fine, I will keep to my still photography.
Keep up the good work, but please no more on video.
DTown is tops on tips.
Another great show.
Good Show.
Pete rocks! Always great to see a new episode in the queue. Please keep them coming.
Great show! (except for all that video stuff…)
I’d like more info on brands and use of extension tubes. B&H has probably 4 brands for Nikon alone. Also, how well do they work with a nifty 50 vs a zoom lens? Do they work with something like the 70-200?
Thanks for that no the spider holster. I bought the dual version recently and was wondering why the camera on the left was harder to get out. CreativeLive just had a 25% discount code – ugggg, two weeks after I bought mine. But I love it.
Just did some catching up on ep. I missed.
I received a spider holster for Xmas last year – IT ROCKS !
So secure and with the optional lock getting a better position for a shot (like climbing a hill, ladder or tree) becomes much easier.
I like the tripod tip Pete and I plan on adding a ThinkTank modular unit or 2 to complete things.
