Hey,

This week we covered publishing and hosting our podcast, we also discussed how to go about allowing for subscription to your podcast and rss feeds. I never knew it could be so easy to upload your own audio files and have people subscribe to them. All you have to do is create your audio file (refer to last weeks post) and then make a PodOmatic account online and upload your file. This site will host your podcast for free. The truth is recording myself and listening to it over and over to try to get it perfect was really difficult. It made me pretty uncomfortable, so naturally I had to do it more and more because I kept messing up due to the nerves. GREAT! It took a lot of practice but eventually i got through it and cut out the ambient noise. I still have a few bits of editing to do and then I should feel comfortable uploading it. So you all have that to look forward to.

We were also given the task of taking both landscape and portrait photos to show how shifting between them can improve their framing. Below are my images.

First a portrait:

Then I took the same photo in landscape: 

Same again, Portrait:

And Landscape:

From the experience I gained capturing my own photos, I feel like it was all about the angle I shot from. That’s what helped me decide which would be the better option. Below is a photo I took where I was at the correct angle to include all the things I wanted in the photograph without having to switch to landscape.

 

I hope you enjoyed 🙂

Thanks.
