So the doors to the bar have been flung open again and ask the question if it's okay to copy other photographers' work? Would you be blatantly ripping off someone else's ideas or could be the catalyst to developing your own new ideas?
We also chat about editing and are we seeing the beginning of the end of image editing as we know it? Has Photoshop gone too far and taking the art of innovation and creativity away from photographers. Will photo editing become a dying art as filters and pre-sets become so advanced?

In this week's episode, we discuss how the filming of the Superbowl broke new ground with a clear nod to photography techniques. Is the world of photography and video merging even closer?
We all love our gear and get very precious about our cameras, lenses and kit. We drool over the latest improvements in ISO, sensor quality and speed when new cameras are released. But no matter how good our cameras may be, do we follow the essential rules of taking better photos?
Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, George Clooney.....names we all know. But who was the greatest person ever to be photographed? Who really knew what to do when in front of the camera?
Take a look at the Superbowl camera shots Mark has been discussing by clicking the following YouTube link - skip to 1:50 seconds for a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KVa8xJgOaA

Welcome to another edition of The Photography Bar. In this episode, Kam, Rob and Mark sit down and discuss how we started in photography; with the way the industry has changed, Kam would do things differently now. We talk in-depth about Nikon discontinuing a range of their DSLRs in Japan - could the rest of their supply follow?
Also, are you a photographer that gets into dangerous situations? Well, following on from Leica's 007 and Monochrome cameras have they released a bulletproof camera?
We also chat about some great new ingenious (quirky) inventions that could make our lives as photographers so much easier.
