Well, that was an adventure!  Those of you who tuned in will know that we tried to broadcast this episode live, but despite our best efforts and a full test the day before, technical difficulties meant we had to abandon our efforts and record the show in the traditional way.  Every cloud has a silver lining because the recording quality is much better as a result of our efforts, and we’ll look at what went wrong so we can bring you the next episode live on Thursday 17 September at 8.30pm.

Anyway, what’s in the show?

  • In the news, we discuss the climate camp, the various ‘Not a Terrorist’ campaigns & Spike Brown’s appearance on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, the breach of copyright by mainstream media using pictures from social networking sites, the Guardian’s new terms for Photographers. James is talking about Pirates.  Arr!
  • We answer a question relating to use of images taken on safari
  • In our main discussion we talk about rights-harvesting competitions and royalty-free photography.  James is talking about aliens travelling to earth and bringing knock-off Dire Straits CDs.
  • Please sign our petition, to the Prime Minister, asking for action on rights-grabbing photo competitions
  • We’re running a competition, on the theme of ‘Freedom’.  James thinks the theme should be ‘This is what happened just before I got arrested for taking a photo!’.

  1. Great show, enjoyed the features and it was well presented. Will look out for the next one. On a techy note Gordon Harrison sounded a little muffled and was difficult to understand at times.

  2. Thanks Paul.

    Yes, Gordon replaced a colleague on the day of the recording, and due to his location in the Highlands of Scotland, was unable to obtain a headset to use Skype so we had to record his contribution by phone.
