tftff500 - Effing 500

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

We did it! Five hundred episodes of Tips from the Top Floor. Actually YOU did it!! Why? Because without anyone listening to Tips from the Top Floor and appreciating it, the should would’ve vanished long ago, so thanks to every single one of you out there for being around and making it a pleasure for me to produce the show!

The first episode of TFTTF was recorded 5 years, 9 months and 8 days before this one. That boils down to about 1.6 episodes per week so far.


This is the unboxing of the “You Know What” - listen to the full episode below

Today Simon asks about composing pictures for a specific purpose, Robert wants to learn to see in monochrome, I was visited by fellow photography podcaster Paulo Sacramento and Dwight asks if it’s possible to go professional with an entry-level DSLR (hint: yes, it is)
