This week’s podcast is brought to you by OM SYSTEM! With the hot temperatures of summer winding down, there is no better season for outdoor photography than autumn. Fall colors, crisp morning air, and golden light all set the stage to capture portfolio-worthy images. The OM SYSTEM OM-5 is the ultimate companion for the outdoor enthusiast. Built to endure your adventures, this mid-range mirrorless camera is a rugged marvel, with its weather-sealed body to safeguard against dust, water, and extreme temperatures, ensuring unmatched durability.

Learn more about the OM-5 and the highly respected M.Zuiko lens series by visiting explore.omsystem.com/petapixel.

This week, Chris and Jordan published not only their first documentary for PetaPixel but also the first documentary of this style and length in their YouTube careers. "The World’s First U2 Spy Plane Photo Shoot at the Edge of Space" is the story of how photographer Blair Bunting spent the better part of a year planning and training to take a Cold War-era spy plane up to the edge of space to perform a photo shoot that had never previously been attempted, and likely will never happen again.

If you haven't seen it yet, we strongly recommend you watch it first before enjoying this podcast.

The two chat with Jaron about their experience shooting this film, the cameras they used, the lessons they learned, and why they're so excited to finally be able to share it with the world.
