In this episode, the guys talk about their photographic New Year’s Resolutions goals for 2013. Tom starts with his resolution to improve his off-camera lighting skills. He received this off-camera lighting set-up for Christmas and has already been testing it on the world famous Yossarian the Cat. Ryan’s first resolution is to improve his video skills. Cory wants to slow down (he’s nearing Ryan’s age, after all) and be more deliberate with his photography. He referenced this article on DPS about slowing down and taking...
read moreThis week we were joined by Cody Sims to talk all about lighting. If you are not familiar with Cody, you need to check out his two different flickr streams (Disney photos | cody+camera). During this episode, we discuss a bit of off-camera lighting, including gels, umbrellas, wireless triggers, and Nikon’s CLS. We also discuss a lot of things that have nothing to do with lighting. Enjoy!
read moreThis week on Epsiode 33 of ISO 5571 we discuss the smaller, lighter camera options. Tom and Cory recently purchased smaller cameras as backups for occasions when they’d rather not lug the heavy DSLR equipment around. It used to be that if you wanted something small and convenient like a point and shoot camera, you would be giving up quality and creative control. This is changing, however. The new generation of point and shoot cameras as well as the latest in the micro four thirds format are capable of producing results that...
read moreThis week on ISO 5571 we have a very special guest, Scott Brinegar, who has worked with Disneyland as a freelancer for almost 27 years. He’s worked many high-profile shoots at Disneyland over the years including Miley Cyrus’ 16th birthday, a post-Olympic swim meet down Main Street and and many other promotional celebrations. We hope you enjoy our discussion about his Disney experiences. Scott and his colleague Amanda Harvie have a collection of limited edition fine art photography prints available at The Disney Gallery in...
read moreThis week we decided to take a trip down memory lane and discuss the attractions of Yesterland and YesterWorld we would bring back to photograph just one more time. We discuss attractions that have long been extinct such as the Skyway at both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland, the old Tomorrowlands pre 1995 and the old lanscapes of EPCOT Center. Or how about everyone’s favorite year, the year of the Birthday Cake? Yes, we admit we would love to photograph Cinderella Castle dressed as a birthday cake at least once. Remember the view...
read moreFor Episode 30 we discussed photography accessories in our camera bags that we absolutely cannot live without. Having a camera and a nice lineup of lenses is just beginning. Various tools and accessories become essential to our photography at Disney parks! Here is a list of the accessories discussed: The Lens Pen A handy cleaning tool for quickly removing dust and smudges from the front lens element. Tom, recommends the use of his shirt but you will have to ask him if you can purchase one for your kit, otherwise we recommend the Lens...
read moreYou may have noticed that we haven’t done Show Notes for the last 8 episodes of the podcast. We blame this on terrorists and/or gnomes. Either (or both) of which we suspect have stolen the show notes. We will be resuming show notes shortly. Rejoice!
read moreOur Flickr friend Scott Smith joins us for Episode 21 to talk about capturing Disney’s human element. We all love those pretty night shots of an empty park and all, but Scott focuses on the most significant aspect of Disney theme parks, the people! We discuss the idea of capturing people at Disney parks (without being a creeper!) and Scott explains his process and how to keep an eye out for that special shot. Check out Scott’s amazing shots on his flickr...
read moreYou all have been so good that we released Episode 20 early.

They will be providing live coverage on Disney Photography Blog and on Twitter @disphotoblog. Tom will be at Star Wars...
read moreWe’re back! We heard a rumor that people are actually listening to the show so we should probably get back to doing show notes in case it’s true!
