This week on The Digital Story Photography Podcast: The End of Aperture development by Apple, a Great Vacation Camera Bag, and the Ins and Outs of Copyright Law - All of this and more on today's show with Derrick Story.

Story #1 - The Weekly Update: Ansel Adams' 4x5" view camera to be auctioned off - The auction is to be held on July 9, 2014, and prospective bidders can still register online. If you'd like to own a piece of American photographic history, be ready to grab deeply into your pockets, as Adams' Arca Swiss is expected to sell for $300,000 or more.

In other news, Everything You Wanted to Know About Copyright but Were Afraid to Ask - Presented by B&H Photo, photographer Jack Reznicki and lawyer Ed Greenberg demystify and illuminate the gray areas in an easy, humorous, and understandable manner that only this pairing of a photographer and lawyer with so much "real-life, in-the-trenches" experience can provide.

And finally, Canon Lens Microsite for Canon shooters who want to determine the best lens for the task at hand. The microsite also features educational videos from Canon's "EF 101" series that show some practical examples of how to use each type of lens.

The End of Aperture

Story #2 - Apple Halts Development of iPhoto and Aperture, Migrates Users to New Photos App. Aperture users have three basic options: do nothing, switch to Lightroom, or migrate to Photos. I talk about these options in today's second segment.

Story #3 - The Nimbleosity Report: "Packing for Maui" - I'm changing my bag to the Lowepro Photo Hatchback 16L AW Backpack that is a great bag for vacation travel. I'll explain why in the 3rd segment of today's show.

Story #4 - From the Screening Room - Photoshop Color Correction: Advanced Projects with Taz Tally. One of the things I really like about this title is that Taz also shows you how to identify color problems and discusses options to fix them before attempting actual corrections. Very helpful.
