Over one hundred people looked at PhotoLegal within the hour after the first podcast was launched. Given it is a Sunday night, and Phill tells me that Sunday is the worst day for posting anything on the internet, I think that’s outstanding. While I thanked James and Phill on the recording for their efforts, I want to do it again here because their contribution to getting this project going has been huge.
I don’t need to note in detail James’ achievements – you can listen to those for yourself. We’re very fortunate to have someone so knowledgable about the subject to advise us. Phill’s efforts on the technical side certainly do need recording though and I couldn’t have got through all the setting up of feeds and adding gizmos and gadgets to the website without his superb help.
Please let us know what you think. You can use the comments section of this post, the one on the podcast post itself, or if you’d prefer, the comments section of the website. Don’t forget to keep letting us have your questions either.
Thanks again, and we look forward to doing it all again in just over a week!

At 23.54 in podcast #1 James says, “obviously you’re going to have to take care that you’re not taking photos of people…”
How did you all just let that go? Please get James to clarify.

Thanks Byron – yes we did notice that. We wanted to keep to our self-imposed 30 minute limit so decided we would cover that on our full discussion about photographing in public places on #2. Apologies, I do appreciate it would have been helpful if we’d signposted that in the discussion.
Byron, you noticed! There was some logic in saying what I did – and it wasn’t just to get you to listen to upcoming podcasts!
As Darren said, we wanted to keep within the 30 mins and I felt that it would be wrong to suggest that you could go around taking photographs of anybody because it could get people into trouble. You will be glad to hear that this is an area that we will be covering in future podcasts.
Thanks for raising it, though, and feel free to post a question about it using the ’submit a question’ link in the right hand column!
Hi Guys,
Great first podcast! Even though I’m not a photographer myself, I found it interesting and diverse. All I will say is that it may be worth investing in headset mics as there were times when the audio dipped as the speaker turned his head away from the mic. Some sort of compression/limiter hardware may also help here.
Thanks Ian. We had one or two problems on the mic front, and Phill ended up recording over his iPhone. We tried to resolve as much as possible in software, but we’re trying to improve things for #2.

Thank you for your initiative in creating this site. As an amateur railway photographer I’ve had many a run in with officious jobsworths and I have even been told that railway photography is a criminal offence – its not! You just follow simple rules of sign in, no tripod/flash and don’t go outside areas available to the public. Yet time and time again there are a minority of railway staff and Police who fail to adhere to their own rules.
I’ll have a listen this evening and I will endeavour to come along to one of your London Walks in the next month or two.
Kind regards

I really like street photography so this is going to be a really useful resource – thanks! I’ve just subscribed to your podcast, although I notice that the latest episode is not showing in iTunes yet?
