How about a short segment one day on all of the old types of media we used to have to deal with... Syquest discs, Jazz discs, zip drives, recordable CDs and DVDs, magneto-optical etc. even include things like old ways of retouching (pre-photoshop!), lick and stick artwork with colour mark-up overlays. PMTs (photo-mechanical transfers), repro houses and colour seperations, cromalin proofs... oh the good old days (or were they??).
I just bought a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II. and a Canon Speedlite 550EX from MPB this week, both in fantastic condition and very good pricing, both for my daughter who is a photography student.
I’ve been a commercial short/advertising for 44 years. Whenever people ask what I do for a living, I say- I’m a visual problem solver. My clients have given me something that needs to be solved: HOW to bring their needs to fruition. I try to solve it.
I've got the SmallRig cage for my R5 and it seems to work well, not having used other cages. But one of the cages that I'm super interested in; have you looked at the Kondor Blue cages???
Very interesting again. You definitely caught my attention with the comment about portfolio photos being poorly exposed. Just looking at Instagram, I keep thinking, “am I just being an old stick in the mud, or does it help to see the subject clearly?”
I’m still using my 2019 vintage 5K iMac with 80 GB of RAM. I have zero desire to upgrade right now. I’m a stills shooter with occasional video editing. I will likely upgrade my external storage system to solid state this year.
As someone with lifelong anxiety and all-or-nothing thinking, I find it so relatable wanting the *definitive* answer when I started photography. Not knowing for "sure" drove me nuts, cos I just wanted to know I was doing the right thing. I've been working as a photographer for almost 4 years now, and am only starting to see how things aren't so black and white. Maybe it's having experience, making mistakes, maturity (I say) that helps to be more flexible?
Mmmh: Histogram: Not sure if I understand you right. I do not use histograms really a lot while shooting (outdoor, no tethering). Much more important is the clipping warning for the highlights, rest is/has to be (typically) covered by dynamic range. But "histogram" is the tool for me while editing for the curve over the complete dynamic range including clipping adjustment in low and highlight (with/without/where)
I worked for a specialist photographic retailer in the late 1970s in Birmingham and well remember Billingham cold calling into us with a selection of their original canvas 'Gadget Bags' that they'd derived from their 'Fishing Tackle' bags and being taken aback at the then retail price of around £45, bear in mind that an Olympus OM-10 with a 50mm F1.8 lens was less than £100! Nevertheless, we sold a reasonable quantity over the years and the rest, as they say, is history!!
The M4 Mac Mini is great, but 16GB of RAM isn't enough if you're processing your own photos in Photoshop. Especially if you want to keep Lightroom or Capture One open at the same time. Photoshop can easily eat through 24GB of RAM on its own.
Oh, the rant at the end for kit if you were a hobbyist photographer, lol! Well, I am a hobbyist photographer that drives a semi-truck over the road in the States, I believe you call us Lori drivers, please excuse my American. I still own 2 Nikon D3, 2 Nikon D3X, and 2 Nikon 700 but, I also own a 50 MP H4 Hasselblad, 40 MP H5 Hasselblad, and 50 MP X1D, 6 broncolor packs, and 5 Pulso heads. So, I do understand your kit if you were a hobbyist. I always wanted a Hasselblad, so I purchased them, I said, I do not want to shoot Godox with Hasselblad, so I purchased the broncolor. I stayed away from Profoto because all the big-name RUclips Studio Photographers in New York uses Profoto and I wanted to be different, and now I am a happy little photographer. Also, everything I purchased, I purchased used, I am hobbyist not rich 🤣!
38:17 That's insane, unacceptable behaviour. That's how you drive customers away. Another reason why one should do warranty via the retailer you bought it from and buy in the country you are in if the laws are good, cus consumer laws in Norway are great, 5 years right to complain. And 2 years on wear items that aren't meant to last for years. But In most countries if consumer doesn't get warranty covered or refund they would get in trouble. But great you managed to get your money back. Maybe it was a crazy person working for customer support, sadly the support one receives depends on the person. But if it's a consistent procurance with hundreds or thousands of people, it would be really bad for the company.
Rigging stuff! Thats where the money goes trough trial and error. Figuring out what is needed and does it work, take example the ball head on a lot of tripods that have the dreaded drift, compose the shot let go of the camera and see the lens slowly tilt away from the composition. That is my biggest bug bear.
There is nothing wrong with being intolerant of one’s own incompetence., it shows a willingness to improve oneself and the ability to know when you are wrong. It’s people who can’t see they are making mistakes that really piss me off. My main issue is that I can’t help myself telling people that they are fuckwits. I’ve tried not doing it but I can’t help myself.. 😅
They did use enlargers for billboards up to the 80's . They use a CMYK separations and enlarged sections of the halftone film to print the billboards sheets.
You're paying for the brand with Apple I have used a PC for over 30 years(not the same one ;) ) and tried Mac for a while and it is defo paying for looks, only thing nowadays either with Mac or PC the top edge graphic cards are more expensive than the PC anyway get yourself an Alienware pc or laptop just a thought for what its worth
I bet the brand that threatened you was Minolta. Whomever bought that name has been slapping dash cams into fake camcorder bodies for years. It's sad to see.
gosh i hate your french voice ^^ i listen to those episodes in parts and everytime i come back you get your ai french voice and it sucks ass hahah. I'll lend you my voice even if you want to dub it french ^^
Film 'Authenticity'= higher overhead = higher cost to customer or less profit. Film is a waste of time and money in this day and age. you can argue until you're blue in the face that it's providing authenticity, but who cares. The customer is only interested in the final output, not a label of authenticity. It's photographic virtue signalling and destined to fail.
I will never buy an apple product, so many flawed products, can't be upgraded easily, some can't be at all. Horrible Macbooks with issues, but I don't know if they still have these issues. But IOS is junk, can't even close all apps at once, absurd. Also the prices vs performance. No thanks.

The GF 45-100 is a literal beast of a lens, sharp as a tack and versatile for the form factor. I love it.
I still have my Domke bag from the '80s, yup the rubber on the inside of shoulder spart is long gone - could still gat replaced i, but no need.
My Billingham 445 bag was £145 back in the mid 1980s from Techno on the Euston Rd and is still going strong.
I regularly make do with what I've got but I do love my nice things. Great podcast guys.
1:18:20 The research also says that as long as you are drinking in low amounts at once, the negative effects are really minor.
I'm still using the Slik tripod that my dad bought in the mid 1970s.
Just wanted to say hi, thanks for your work.
Thank you too!
How can you be against using presets when you're happy to use a certain type of film stock?
The films stocks a bit like the sensor, how you develop it and then print it is like the preset of the digital world

Once again, I listen to this channel and something is said that makes me realize I'm not the only one...

Still use my Bagpipes Benbo from 1990
I bought a billingham bag and I have used it everyday since. I bought it in 1979.
Mmmh: Histogram: Not sure if I understand you right.
I do not use histograms really a lot while shooting (outdoor, no tethering). Much more important is the clipping warning for the highlights, rest is/has to be (typically) covered by dynamic range.

Vanguard makes great bags and very good tripods. Overlooked brand, especially their top of the line tripods are excellent value.

I owned a TR-7 years ago and it was the most fun car that I have driven.

name and shame
It's like which brand of hammer will make a better house.
Oh nooooo… not the big black microphone boom arms again.

It s not for you. If it s for you you wd know

Out the brand please

Don't be buying a zoom lens. You should get prime lens instead. They are a lot better image quality.
