Steve and Nick's guest this week is Francesco Gola, a fine art landscape photographer, who shares his journey into photography, his love for long exposure seascapes, and the emotional connection he feels with the sea. Francesco  shares his insights on landscape photography, emphasizing the importance of planning, adapting to nature, and capturing emotions through weather. He discusses the tools and techniques he uses for location scouting, the significance of color consistency in post-processing, and how the experience of being in nature can enhance the photographic journey. 

Nick has been crashing drones since the last show, and Steve shares his thoughts on his new monitor, the 5K BenQ SW2730S, designed for Mac.
