Most enthusiast photographers go to great lengths to protect their gear. We use high tech camera bags, half cases, aluminum bottom plates, protection filters, lens hoods, and more. But what level of concern is truly important for our equipment? We explore these worries and more on today’s TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

Yes, the Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2S are great cameras for those who need those capabilities, but for many of us who are more straight photography oriented, the X Series is what caused us to fall in love with brand in the first place. And now with the announcement of the X-T5, the affairs continues. We’ll take a look at the new 40MP wonder, plus more stories, on today’s TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

From the red rocks of Sedona to the rugged shoreline of Point Reyes, the 2023 TDS Workshop season includes new online and in-person events. And I will share all of them with you today. Plus, the two biggest complaints about the new OM System OM-5, and two favorite things about macOS Ventura. I hope you enjoy the show.

Like any disruptive technology, Artificial Intelligence has its share of misconceptions. It’s not that it’s coming, it’s here! To help make sense of what’s going on right now, I sit down with photography technologist Aaron Hockley to discuss the role of AI in imaging today. I hope you enjoy the show.

Over the last few months we�ve seen incredible lens bargains from independent manufacturers. Optics that would normally cost 2-3 times more are available in a variety of focal lengths and mounts. Generally speaking, we know that their quality doesn�t match the performance of name brand offerings. So is there any situation when a cheap lens would be a viable option? I weigh in on today�s TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

AI technology is simplifying the workflow across many of our photo editing apps. And the latest release of ON1’s Photo RAW 2023 is a great example. For many visual creatives, ON1 software is already a staple in their bag of tricks. This latest release will most likely expand that user base further. We’ll take a look why in today’s TDS Photography Podcast, plus an overview of PhotoLab 6 as well. I hope you enjoy the show.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to have your images projected on a screen in front of a group of photographers? What would they say? Would it be fun or nerve wracking? In this week’s TDS Photography Podcast, I bring you inside a group presentation that took place in the Eastern Sierra. I think you’ll find it fascinating. All of that, and more, on today’s show.

Monday is a scouting day for the Eastern Sierra Workshop. The word has been that color is beginning to show at Convict Lake, the southern most destination on my itinerary. I began the day in Walker. After two cups of coffee, I head south. And I�m bringing you along for the ride. I hope you enjoy the show.

Highway 395 between Topaz and Bishop is my favorite stretch of U.S. roadway. The world is a different place on the eastern side of the Sierra. And if you enjoy expansive views, roadside motels, and the freedom of everything you need packed in your car, then there’s no better place on earth. And that’s where I’ll be next week for our Eastern Sierra Workshop.

Ultimately, we take pictures for ourselves. But sometimes it’s nice to share them with others. Posting our images online has become a real “hit or miss” endeavor in terms of views and feedback. Today we’re going to look at the photo sharing landscape and explore new options for getting our pictures in front of others. I hope you enjoy the show.
