Kev’s been wrecking vans but all for a good cause, meanwhile Neale has announced(ish) his latest idea in a long line of ideas from the ideas factory. Today we talk about a Viltrox lens so impressive, it also doubles as a speed-radar(!), swapping back to Adobe products after a time away and why we prefer the tech ecosystem, keeping up with the latest software to edit X100VI files, seeing in black and white, to spot or to evaluate as Shakespeare didn’t actually say, turning pro, in-camera recipes for looks, X RAW Studio, brands logos and fonts and the twenty-two immutable laws of marketing, plus MORE long focal length primes please.

#271: No more meetings, I’m becoming a photographer!

Neale has his website homework marked by Mr. Mullins, who has spent the last month learning about the most dangerous job in the world - which will be revealed. Also today, a setting that could be slowing your shooting down, an ideal camera for studio strobe work, constant light source is your friend, Instagram’s most cliché shots, using two camera systems alongside each other, changing the way you focus, writing content that will keep Google happy and should you embrace ai to write your content? Plus Kev reviews Sandra Cattaneo Adorno’s new book, Ten Years.

#270: Keeping Mr. Google happy & can ChatGPT be your writer?

Kev wonders whether his new X-Pro dreams have filtered through to the ‘We shall consider’ file. Meanwhile, switch on your ai face recognition, it has arrived on Pic-Time’s platform, our sponsors and the finest online gallery space. Also today on the show, upgrades, do you need to upgrade from the X-T4 to the X-T5? We also talk about film photography and darkroom printing, having a style about your Instagram grid that is brand recognisable, uploading images to websites and sRGB versus AdobeRGB. Plus it turns out that the boys have alternative skills should they ever need to call upon them; Kev was a Welsh milk boy, and Neale was one of the last petrol pump attendants in Hertfordshire!

#269: Upgrading your camera: Why? And back to the darkroom

Kev's nervously optimistic ahead of the Welsh qualifier against Poland, considering an unusual Tikkety Tok channel and musing over the number of holes in an average crumpet, but he's still single-handedly campaigning for the new X100(6) to be known as the V.I. Neale remains to be convinced. Also, YouTube trolling, camera supply issues, desired articulating screens for a new XT generation of cameras, monochrome recipes for family photography, an offer to see Mr. Whisper share his secrets of street work, presenting commercial work the client likes but you don't and should we still be using JPG with HEIF now available in-camera?

#268: Presenting work you HATE and YouTube trolling

Special guests street photographer Mr. Whisper, the latest Fujifilm X-Photographer Emily Renier and Fujifilm’s Marketing Manager Andreas Georghiades, join Neale in Covent Garden, London at Fujifilm’s House of Photography. Questions to and thoughts from a live audience today include thoughts about on personal authenticity, whether photographers need to concentrate on getting the picture right in camera as opposed to post-producing to save or create a picture, high ISO shooting, the rules of realism, the inconsistency too many presets can present, unfashionable tints, the reputation of Fujifilm in the profession and flash products. Also, third-party glass and how available the mount is for those wishing to provide an alternative to Fujifilm lenses, phone-like features within an X-series body, how long can the X100 model keep developing, the thought process behind shooting street from Mr. Whisper, choosing music for films and photography slideshows, how to become an X-Photographer and the state of the portrait industry.
