Creativity Through “Lo-Fi” Images

Sometimes, you don’t need to execute technical perfection to create unique photos with impact. Today we explore ways in which you can use creative techniques that don’t require maximum resolution or perfect exposure. Thanks to listener Mark Finney for the topic suggestion!

Switching (or Adding) Camera Systems

It happens all the time… the grass looks greener on the other side. Maybe it’s a new lens or a new camera design that really makes you think about switching your system. Maybe you think your existing kit is obsolete. This week, Jason and Rick talk about switching or adding camera systems, and whether it makes sense to do it.

Tips For Post-Processing Your Images

We firmly believe that good post-processing is a critical step in the creation of a powerful digital photograph. Just as Ansel Adams works were not finished until the final print, your best digital photographs will benefit from a little work in post. Here are some of our favorite tips for processing your images.

Nikon 85mm f/1.8S and then some

This week, Jason is back from leading a photo tour to Scotland, and Rick is getting ready for a trip to Vietnam. We discuss the recently released Nikon 85mm f/1.8 S lens for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras, and then we decided to reach into the grab bag to offer up our thoughts on a slew of mini-topics that you might find interesting (or not).

Photography as a Craft

This week, Rick and Jason explore the concept of photography as a “craft.” When Kodak introduced the Brownie camera in 1900, photography became accessible to the masses. Today’s photography is no different. There’s the kind of photography that you use to document events or your life experiences (snapshots) and then the kind of photography that is more of an art form, requiring thought and deliberate processing.
