The Photocast Network has released the second episode of the roundtable discussion over at Photocastnetwork.com

The participants: John Arnold (Photowalkthrough), Jeff Curto (Camera Position), Ibarionex Perello (The Candid Frame) and Chris Marquardt.

We have decided to give the roundtable discussions their own podcast feed as opposed to including it in the individual member feeds in order to avoid duplicate downloads for those who have subscribed to more than one shows from the photocast network.

If you want to automatically receive all future roundtable discussions for free in your podcatcher, please subscribe to the feed now:

Here’s the first in a series of short video tips. Learn how to hold your camera in order to avoid camera shake. You’ll see more of those video shorts in the future. But don’t worry, they won’t replace the regular shows.

Note: if you have an issue downloading the file with iTunes (exclamation mark next to it), here’s how to fix it: delete the item, then close the feed (click the small triangle next to the name) and re-open it while holding the Alt key (Mac) or Alt-Shift (PC) - then the video should load.
