In this episode, Jonathan and Mark go for a drive to do an onsite chat with Rick Towle (attroll), founder and operator of the Hammock Forums and Whiteblaze online forums. After chatting about building an online community and the changes that have occurred in the past few years, we finish off the conversation by chatting about how to take a great online photo.

After the interview, Mark and Jonathan chat about setting up and a little about camping in the rain, and finally Gresh and Spiguyver have some great advice about how to avoid online scams and fraudsters.

Finally, a big welcome to Chris Duffy and Todd Quest. Chris and Todd will be taking over hosting the podcast over the next few months.

Show Notes:

• Here’s a great writeup about the Rule of Thirds in online photography.
