Write a Review of Digital Photography Tips From the Top Floor Podcast
   
J.E., February 17, 2006
Reviewer: J.E.
from Chicago, Illinois
If you own a digital camera, then you could really benefit from listening to the Digital Photography Podcast. The show is usually less than 10 minutes long (sometimes it's a bit longer), but the host packs a lot of very useful information into those minutes. I have listened to several of these podcasts, and each time I have come away with practical photography tips that I can use in my very next outing with the camera.
The host is obviously very knowledgeable, and is able to convey his knowledge in a way that even amateurs can understand. A fun aspect of the show is the Assignment segment. Sometimes the host will give listeners certain photo subjects to go out and look for. New shows generally are available every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so you don't have to wait very long for your next fix.
I really have nothing bad to say about this podcast. It's definitely worth a listen.

The Digital Photography Show offers insights and tips on the topic the show is named for digital photography. The podcast I reviewed was an interview with a professional photographer. This show was longer than many of the previous podcasts. It was close to thirty minutes. Tips for getting started as a professional photographer and ideas for finding inspiration were covered in this show.
Anyone interested in digital photography will find this podcast a useful resource for getting involved in digital photography as a hobby or on a professional level. I liked the fact that the content of the podcast is very focused and free from promotional references to other podcasts. Marquardt delivers useful information in an organized format.
