I’m downloading this podcast (my first on this site) and look forward to reviewing it later on my iPod as I work in the garden. One request: I have a very slow dial-up connection so it would be helpful to know the size of the .mp3 file before I download it. If you could publish this next to the link?
Thanks for the input. I’ve updated the links with the file sizes now.
In yYour picture of the goat illustrating the Rule of Thirds, you’ve done a funny thing. In the exact spot where the upper and left thirds cross, you have the goat’s ass!
It seems to me that you’d have a more interesting picture if you put the the goat’s face and scratching hoof in the intersection of the upper and right thirds.
But like all art, it’s in the eye of the beholder as to which part of the goat is more interesting!
Please accept my vote of appreciation for the great job you’re doing. I’m working my way through all your podcasts and enjoying them immensely. I’ve been into photography since the early 60’s and am still learning how to take good pictures.
Regards,
Jack
HAHAHAHA.. thanks Jack for measuring
