We had another great episode of Photo Talk Plus on Wednesday night with special guest Alan Shapiro.  Alan’s a self described “Executive-Level Creative Guy” and he’s an amazing photographer with personality to spare. :) Check out the video above if you missed the live show this past week.

Thanks so much to our panelists Dave Cohen from Google Photos, Profesional Landscape Photographer Jeffrey Sullivan, G+ Scavenger Hunt Curator Chrysta Rae and Keith Barrett of Vidcast Network @ http://vidcastnetwork.com. It’s been such a pleasure to be able to get groups of photographers together and do these shows.

Fellow host Thomas Hawk and I talked about shooting the North American International Auto Show this week in Detroit on behalf of Ford, which was informative and very shiny! (I like shiny.) See Thomas’s NAIAS Set on Flickr here. Our entire panel weighed in on some interesting news stories including Mike Shaw‘s write up on long exposure photography and the Lee Big Stopper filter, Jeremy Cowart‘s post on a new type of camera from CES, Leodor Selenier‘s post on the photography of Kim Keever, and more.

Special thanks to our awesome sponsors, SmugMug @ http://smugmug.com and Drobo @http://drobo.com These are two companies we believe in personally and we appreciate their support!
