May 10, 2007: Welcome to the fabulous fiftieth episode of The Digital Photography Show!

Fifty episodes – holy cow! We could never have gotten this far without your encouragement, participation and support. Thanks for being part of The Digital Photography Show!

Our guest today is the wonderful, funny and talented Scott Kelby! Scott is one of our most requested guests, and it’s easy to hear why. Today we discuss:

• His new and improved and almost-magical home page.
• His lighting video
• Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
• Scott’s brilliant book on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom:
• The finalists in our third photo contest

Scott helps us review the finalists of our third contest. It’s very enlightening to hear someone who really knows photography – and photo editing – talk about a picture. You’ll learn a lot by listening his critiques of our finalists.

And don’t forget to enter the contest for a free copy of Scott’s Lightroom book. Send your answers to us at TheDigitalPhotographyShow@gmail.com.

Also remember our ongoing Photo Contest #4. Here are the rules from Michael: Ruler of the Contests:

The Theme is the Natural World. That means: no buildings, no people, no artifacts made by people, and no animals (yes, insects are animals too!). By the way, we love people and animals even though they are indeed part of the natural word, however they are not part of the Natural World of DPS Photo Contest #4. So what is the Natural World? Just about everything else found in nature. The photograph should not just comply with the theme, but truly speak to the theme of the Natural World.

The Technique is to produce images with a very shallow depth of field. Your subject should be in sharp focus and everything in the foreground and background would be out of focus. The spirit of the shallow depth of field technique is that the image be captured in-camera, and not through post processing. We’ll be on the honor system for this.
Photos will be accepted through Friday, 25 May, 2007.
You can only enter three photographs. If more than three photographs are entered, the first three received shall be entered.
The image must be in jpg format, and no more than 800 pixels on its widest side.
Please include the original exif info within the image
Please rename the image file with the photographers first and last name (so we know it’s yours).
If you are inclined to title your image (titles are optional), please append the title after the photographer’s name of the image file name.
Example file name: MichaelStein_ElbowStuckInEar.jpg

FYI: Only one image per entrant can be eligible as a finalist.

The winner of our next photo contest takes home a Wacom tablet. Good luck!
