The Snappening - Wedding Photography Podcast

A long, long, long time ago, photographers had to shoot weddings using film cameras (I know right!!!) Then digital came along and saved us from all the potential pitfalls of film. But some passionate togs out there still want to shoot weddings solely on film. Is this a good idea? Or a recipe for disaster? Come listen to us bumble through this complex topic in today's episode. Thanks so much to Levi  Caleb Allan for the topic suggest, you can find his insta here.

Hey hey - well it's just nice to be chatting about photography for a change! Oh and covid... So we rabbit on about all kinds of random stuff - some covid contract stuff, some Type O Negative stuff, Greg wants an Apple Watch and recently got an Apple HomePod and Thom is playing with a Sony 20mm f1.8... freaky! Then we get to the meat of the bone and chat about flashes - jeeeez we don't know that much - but we shed some light (boom) on our reception setups.

Hi Snappers!

Do you ever find yourself suddenly waking from a horrible dream in which you're at a wedding and something is going terribly wrong? WE SURE DO! Today we talk about our wedding dreams - listen in for all the juicy details.

We also talk about quiet stealth propellers for your drone from MasterAirScrew (which Thom mistakenly calls MachineScrew, oops)

Attention Snappers!

Well, the Instagram we know and love appears to be changing to more video-focused content. How will this affect us as wedding photographers? In episode 125 we chat about this move and how we might have to change the content we upload to stay relevant on the 'gram. We also talk about Alphagvrd camera skins, and a bunch of other stuff that you'll love.

Hello there dapper-snappers, well we just had so many Snapdowns today that we needed to dedicate a whole episode to them! Thom is still travelling, Greg is back from travelling. We talk about hacking your cable / dongle life, A9ii cameras (spoiler - Thom bought 2) and a big one... Pixieset and Flowthemes have joined forces! Will it be amazing...? Quite possibly! Plus lots of other stuff too :)

Today we chat about staying relevant - is rebranding something that actually works? Or is it just 'busy work' that makes us feel good? Greg is trying out his Fujifilm Instax SQ3 printer and considering outsourcing his blogging. Thom has a savage snapdown about www.colorfidelity.com which specialises in making colour profiles for specific cameras.

Thom is lusting haaard after a Sony a9ii! We talk in depth about these incredible cameras and whether or not they're worth the hefty price upgrade over an a7iii. Greg loves GoPros so we go into those. We also do a live test print of his new Instax printer from FujiFilm.

Here's an ethical quandary for you: your Mum/Dad/Cousin/Mate plans a super important event for a day that you have a wedding. You REALLY need/want to go to this event, and you decide to bail on your wedding. How do you do this? Is doing this even ethical? As per usual on The Snappening we tackle the big issues, and this one is a real big one.

People… if you know Greg… you know that he has been waiting with baited breath for Lightroom to be updated to function natively on the M1 Mac. Well, that day has finally arrived! And with side by side Mac Minis, he has all the feedback on how the new update works. Spoiler… it’s GOOD. We also chat about deposits… some say 50% is too much - what about 100% (whaaaaaaat?). We’ve also got a nifty little time sync shortcut for ya. But seriously, this one’s all about LR on the M1.

One thing we didn't mention was the specs of the two computers that were compared.

Mac mini Intel: 3.2GHz, 6-Core, 32GB RAM, 500GB SSD

Mac mini M1: 8-Core CPU, 8-Core GPU, 16GB Neural Engine, 2TB SSD
