#305 Why does my iPhone take better photos than my REAL camera? 

It's a question I see often in the Beginner Photography Podcast FB community, and the answer is Computational Photography. Computational photography helps give the small cell phone camera sensors a huge boost in shooting in low light and high dynamic light scenes. 

So why hasn't computational photography came to DSLRs, Mirrorless, and other Professional grade cameras? Thats what we explore today!

#304 Dan Milnor was a photo journalist for a number of years and today he works a Blurb which is my favorite self publishes photo book company and who I have print all of our personal family yearbooks. Dan has a photography youtube channel that I highly suggest you check out. It’s much like this podcast in the sense that it’s less about gear and more about just capturing the photo.

Because of Dans experience he’s got a lot to say, and I’m all ears so this interview is not only a long one, but it’s starts the second he joins the zoom call. So if you’re find yourself thinking, whats going on here? it’s a very untraditional start but its, real. It’s a real conversation, I prepped for hours, days, for this interview and I didn’t even ask a single question I wrote down because... well who am I to stop someone from talking about something they are excited about and have passion for.

#303 Julia Eskin is a Punta Cana based destination wedding photographer! Julia is not a destination wedding photographer in the sense that she travels to weddings, but she lives in a destination location and shoots weddings for couples who travel to where she is.

Seems like a small distinction but with covid effectively canceling her business she had to get creative in the way they could still make a living and started live streaming weddings after starting Event Live Pro

One thing that will stand out when you look at Julias work is her use of light and composition to not only document a wedding but also show off this beautiful location her couples have chose to be the setting for one of the most important days of their lives.

Julia shares some great tips on how to better see compositions and how to practice flash at home so you can prepare for a wedding.

#302 Ryan Tolbert is a film photographer and owner of the Boutique Film Lab. On top of shooting film for years the Boutique Film Lab develops and scans, just an awe inspiring amount of film today.

I’ve shared this before, I started my photography journey on film with my dads old Pentax k1000 and whatever film I could find at the store on sale. And there is something about getting 36 prints back that is infectious and digital photography stole from us. But film is in the middle of a resurgence which means, we can still have that same feeling of awe and wonder and did the photo come out or not thanks to people like Ryan and business like the Boutique Film Lab.

I know that many of you have never shot film, or if you have its been a long time so Today we I ask Ryan to break down a full analog workflow for beginners.

From picking out a camera, the film to use, how to shoot film, and how you can even get creative in development.

#299 Joe McNally is a legendary photographer. When it comes to masterful use of light, there are only 4 photographers that I think of and Joe is one of them and it comes from 40 years of battle tested experience with it. Joe has come out with a new book, The Real Deal: Field notes from the life of a working photographer. Its equal parts hearing amazing stories of being behind the camera and real technical and tangible information you can use to take better photos today.

In this interview Joe shares why he considers himself a generalist, what caused him to make some of the biggest mistakes in his career, and what elements Joe looks for to make an image a show stopper.
