Dear TPN listeners, viewers and friends,

You know that we spend a LOT of time producing our shows for you.

And as we aren’t making money out of advertising, we’d like to ask for your support to help us keep TPN running. We have real costs in IT support, hardware, bandwidth, etc., as well as our time and effort. For the last four years, we’ve covered these costs ourselves. Outside a small amount of advertising that we have run, the majority of TPN’s costs have been covered by our founder Cameron Reilly and the TPN hosts.

Now, we know that paying for online content is probably new to some of you. You are used to getting it for free.

However, we do ask you to think about the idea of the people funding their own media. We all know that if corporate advertising is the main source of funding for the media, it influences the kinds of media that is produced and the messages they carry. We don’t want that kind of media to be the only kind out there. We want an independent media, run by the people and for the people.

If you want to support our efforts to bring you intelligent and entertaining content, please consider one of our donation plans below:

We have five ways to support a TPN podcast:

A once-off donation

$2 per month subscription

$10 per month subscription

$20 per month subscription

$50 per month subscription

If you’re not familiar with Paypal, don’t worry – you can use any regular credit card.

What you’re signing up for is to automatically send us $2 every month. It will automatically come out of your Paypal account or credit card. That’s $24 a year which is a lot less than you pay for 60 minutes of music on a CD or a monthly Netflix subscription.

When you are entering your information, please enter the name of the podcast you are supporting and please feel free to support every TPN podcast you listen to on a regular basis by donating multiple times.

This subscription system is totally voluntary. If you don’t want to pay or cannot afford to pay, don’t worry – you will still get access to our podcasts for free for as long as we can keep affording to produce them for you.

A once-off donation to the value of your choice (please enter the name of the podcast you are supporting):

Hi folks, Cameron from TPN here with a sad announcement. Scott and Michael will no longer be hosting TPN’s Digital Photography Show. I’d like to thank them for all of their terrific work on TPN over the last couple of years and wish them both the best for the future. I’m currently auditioning for new hosts for The Digital Photography Show so – if you think you can fill their ample shoes, please drop me a line and let me know what you think why YOU are the best person (or team) to take over one of the world’s most successful podcasts! This could be your chance to make a worldwide name for yourself as someone who is passionate about digital photography. If you want to audition, please email me an mp3 file with your audition. Make it less than 5 minutes long and smaller than 5MB. Good luck!

PLEASE VOTE FOR US IN THE PODCAST AWARDS! There is a change this year – you can only vote one time during the nomination period. So, all we’re asking you to do is surf over here just once and enter our name “The Digital Photography Show” and our address “www.TheDigitalPhotographyShow.” That’s not so bad when you consider the hours…no the days…no the years we labor on your behalf, is it? Smile. So, please take a moment and send us some love. Thanks!

Today we’re joined by Kerry Garrison of CameraDojo, a great resource for digital photography reviews and tutorials.

Kerry talks about – and gives away – a sweet R Strap Camera Strap.

We also discuss Wescott lighting kits and why you should spend more on your lenses than you do on your camera.

Be sure to send us an answer to the trivia question we ask on the show by the date mentioned on the show, for a chance the R Strap Camera Strap: TheDigitalPhotographyShow@gmail.com.

Today we’re joined by Mike Wong of OnOneSoftware, who gives away a copy of the $499 Plug-In Suite 4. I say “$499″ because that’s what they charge for the bundle; if you bought the plug-ins individually, they’d cost over $1000!

“Suite?” They should call it “sweeeeet!” Cause it is. (”Sweet” instead of “suite.” Get it? Funny, right? That’s the kind of phonetic humor I just can’t do on the show. See what you’re missing?)

Even better, although it’s called the Plug-In Suite 4, it has six great plugs:

1. Genuine Fractals 5 Print Pro for high-quality enlargements,
2. PhotoTools 1 Professional Edition
3. Mask Pro 4 for removing backgrounds
4. PhotoFrame 3.1 Professional Edition for the perfect finishing touch to your photo
5. PhotoTune 2 for professional quality color correctionz
6. FocalPoint 1 for adding selective blur and vignettes to your photos.

Schwing!

Be sure to send us an answer to the trivia question we ask on the show by Sept 30, 2008, for a chance to win this fantastic bundle: TheDigitalPhotographyShow@gmail.com.

Check out Scott’s PhotoBlog for all the other great notes from today’s show.
