    Good show, guys. Especially liked Rick Sammon’s composition tips. Should I have the great fortune to win a prize, I’d respectfully request it to be the gels, as I don’t have a Canon or an iPhone. Thanks. I look forward to the next show. And, by the way, based on RC’s posting a while back about Nik HDR Effex Pro 2, I got it, and it’s awesome. Thanks, RC.

  2. Brett Smith says:

    Invite more of Scott!!!

  31. John Content says:

    Great hints guys

  32. Terry says:

    OK, not one of your best shows. Maybe it’s just the summer doldrums.

  33. David White says:

    Another great show

  34. clinton ferrara says:

    i use all the same sports settings for birds. i need to upgrade to a full frame camera because of noise. from my d300 what do i need? d800? d800e? can’t afford the d4. i sell prints.

  35. Brian Horsey says:

    Fast show with lots of info. Thanks

  36. John Buono says:

    Good show. Was wondering if Scott could relate what is the slower shutter speed you can use for sport, just curious to hear his opinion.

  37. arthur schoenberger says:

    great info. on sports shooting!!!

  38. Nelson says:

    Great show guys.

  39. Andrew says:

    Thanks again guys. I watch the Grid every week but it’s nice to see Scott back on DTown.

  40. Joseph Myers says:

    Hi, I like this show and I like those prizes. I hope the winner enjoys them.

  41. George Kwain says:

    Good stuff Moose. Less is more. (No, actually less is less and more is more, but sometimes you can do more with less. – whatever)

  42. Cindi Poole says:

    Informative show guys.

  43. Pawel Folfasinski says:

    ISO on D60 is limited to 1600, Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 is not the brightest lens… but I hope that Scott show on PSUserTV how to rescue my pics ;)

  44. Eileen Murphy says:

    Where’s Larry Becker? We rarely see him any more. Did he leave D-Town?

  45. walt biegon says:

    Are you going to have discounts for Kelby training

  46. Mitch Miller says:

    I would love to see moose give some pointers on Airshow photography.

  47. Hi Guys
    leaving in Caribbean, so good to follow all your videos from here, thanks so much for everything

    T.

  48. GM Miller says:

    Thanks guys enjoyed the show!

  49. Harry C says:

    Nice to see Scott again. I really enjoyed Moose’s segment. Great show!

  50. William Beem says:

    I got a laugh when you were looking at Scott’s portfolio and stopped on the shot of Andrew from the Orlando LSR tour stop.

    I was sitting in the front row next to an older lady. When Andrew pulled off his shirt, she was literally climbing on top of me to try and get a closer look at him. It was a bit disconcerting because her hands were all over me like she wanted them to be on Andrew.

    Kelby Training Live has its exciting moments.

    p.s. RC, definitely go see Joel Grimes at Photoshop World. I really enjoyed getting an insight to his imagination and creativity. You ought to get a kick out of it, too.

  51. Lori Barrett says:

    You guys are the greatest!

  52. Jose Q says:

    Thank you for the great tips.

  53. Andrei says:

    Thanks, great show, like always!

  54. jason davis says:

    great show!

  55. Thomas Piepszak says:

    Scott – check out creative live – it has large following, offers you public exposure – it is seen in many countries, A valuable resource.

  56. Roger Correia says:

    Congratulations Scott on your new gig!

  57. Maher Ali. says:

    Great show from marvellous and terrific guys.
    Thank you for the tips.

  58. W Patrick Clements says:

    Love the show and your camera is (BIG)
    Your Pictures are (GREAT TOO)

  59. Robert Norris says:

    Nice show! Congrats on the sports assignment Scott. You guys are funny together!

  60. Ron LAGASCA says:

    I have been a fan from the beginning and learned so much . But, recently the episodes have been more about advertising and less on tips and techniques. In the past, the shows were 15 minutes long with tips from strut to finish. Now, a 25 minute show has only 3 or 4 solid tips and tons of plugs for ads and where to get more tips. Please don’t get me wrong, I still think the show rocks but please get back to the roots of the show and either shorten the show or provide more tips with less ads or plugs for training . I think all who watch now where the best teaching is already.

    • John Havord says:

      You wnat a free show? Then you’ll have to “put up” with the ads.
      If you dislike the ads so much, watch later , then you have the ability to skip the ads. Not that I would ever consider such a thing :)

  61. Johnny Dao says:

    Great tip and good to see SK on D-Town! Congrat Scott on your new job.

  62. Farouk Joosab says:

    Great show guys. Scott I found your tips on Sports Photography very Intereting. I did find one thing disturbing, as the camera pans across the set , behind RC were some Photoshop User Magazines in the trash can,almost sacrilege

  63. Andrea says:

    That was a great show with lots of good info. Could you guys mention some thing on what you guys as far as backing up your images what processes you guys go through like ie hard drives or burning softwear you use.

  64. Dennis Hughes says:

    Scott, in daylight sports, do you use VR at the high shutter speeds?

  65. Francisco Sanabria says:

    great show

  66. Chuck Neeley says:

  84. Lee Zeitelhack says:

    Epically awesome, RC & Scott = – )

  85. chris says:

  90. Philip Arthur says:

    Nice show guys.

  91. Ron P. says:

    You’ve got to pound the pavement. We can’t reinforce this point enough. Thanks for putting it out there!

    • Jock Goodman says:

      Amen. Today it seems all wannabees wannabee right there with the pros. Pros have a JOB to do and a deadline. They EARNED their spot. Start local, small and work your way up. If it was easy, every guy with a intro level dslr would be crowding the press area. It’s ruthless enough as is. In my world it’s mostly friendly, but some venues aren’t.

  92. Peter Stringer says:

    A great show. Nice to see Scott back, and also some great tips on shooting sports. Please can we have more tips on shooting different genres.

  93. Appreciated your sports dslr tips.
    AWESOME.

    Like FREE stuff too.
    Martin in Indiana and cyber-space

  97. Jan W says:

    Scott great that show up again

  98. Shawn Highfill says:

    Roach Gels would be awesome.

    Floof and Run

  99. Pavel Uhliar says:

    Hi guys. This episode seemed to me a bit “overplugged”.

    Even as a Kelby Training subscriber I usually find the show valuable and amusing, and I appreciate you go on with it free. But this one was just one advertisement after another, bit chaotic and boring. But I believe it was just a stumble, thumbs up.

    Wishes of amazing sport season to Scott…

    Bye, Pavel

  100. Lee says:

  111. paul stadler says:

    Boring. I have noticed the show has turned the corner from a ton of content to a ton of advertising Photoshop, Kelby Training and so forth. I get you have to pay the bills but just step back and see how much time and content of this show was promoting stuff.

    Just honest feedback . Don’t kill the messenger.

  112. Al Bryant says:

    Great show, looking forward to the sports lens info next week.

    The Gun comment was funny.

    Cool episode!

  141. Benjamin says:

    Great Show!

  142. monkeyinabox says:

    Great show. Nice tips and guests.

  143. jock Goodman says:

    Great info as usual. Somehow the ads don’t get to me like some other whiners. Mostly, they are clever, well produced etc and if it’s one I don’t want to see again, I just leap forward (never get to watch live anyway). The prize donators deserve a plug for their generosity.
    TIP: if you just can’t stand the infomercials, watch the replay, click pause as soon as the show starts, let the buffer get well ahead of the “now” marker, and just skip ahead a couple of minutes. Hope KT doesn’t hate me for this “tip”.
    do I still get a zillion to one chance of winning something??? Are the odds any better in
    Vegas??? Wish I could come, but budget says no. Maybe next Sept.

  144. Lewis Johnston says:

    Great To hear that the Worldwide Photo Walk is back.

  145. Lars Johansson says:

    Nice show guys. I would like the chance to win NIK HDR efex pro.

  147. Sandy says:

    Thanks for the tips shooting sports!

  148. Mike Bowen says:

    I don’t want no stinkin’ prizes….

    Just give me more D-Town TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  149. Danny Dehaze says:
