The Photography Online Podcast

Coming up in the November podcast, we see why one photographer decided to add a chainsaw to his kit bag, we discuss the potential demise of a photography tradition, and chat about the winning images in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards. As always we have the world’s best photography quiz, and we give our verdict on some of the new gear on offer - including the world’s first photography spell book! Grab your wand and make yourself comfortable.

Coming up this month, Ruth, James and Marcus take a peek at the next generation of upcoming photographers, we try to make sense of an altercation between the police and a pro photographer, plus we have not only one quiz, but two, as James tries to guess what’s been found in Yellowstone National Park this year.  We then look at some new photography gear in the shape of a lens, an app, a film and ragu - yes you heard that right!

Coming up in our September podcast: we learn how night skies may become a thing of the past and why a quarter of us photographers are happy to leave our cameras unattended in public places. The guys go head to head in the POP Quiz and we look at some new gear in the form of a cap, a lens mount, a bracket and a trigger. What more could you possibly ask for?   LINKS 🟡 Kingjoy Tripods 🟡 US Approves Gigantic Satellite Mirror 🟡 Asylum Seekers told Not to Photograph People in Public 🟡 1 in 5 People Leave Their Camera Unattended in Public 🟡 Photographer Sal Veder Dies 🟡 Napalm Gril Photograph 🟡 Photography News Magazine Closes 🟡 Peak Design Field Bracket 🟡 Onnoa Smart Remote Trigger 🟡 SignatureCap Custom Camera Caps   🟡 See Marcus's Igueza Falls Image

Coming up on this month's podcast: we discuss the bridge which can no longer be photographed, the new guidelines for sports photographers, and we debate whether using a coloured filter can be deemed as racist! We also look at the gadget that's supposed to keep you focused at your computer the coaching app that thinks music photographers have time to stop and ask it questions, and finally reveal the Marcus and James origin story!   LINKS 🟡 Kingjoy Tripods 🟡 CA to Stop People From Taking Photo of Bridge 🟡 Freelance Photographers Balk at New Wall Street Journal Contract 🟡 Annie Leibovitz Criticized for Using the "Mexico" Filter 🟡 How to Avoid Sexual Camera Angles of Women Athletes 🟡 Upgraded Pelican Case 🟡 The Mira Dial 🟡 Godox C100 Screenless Camera 🟡 App for Aspiring Music Photographers 🟡 Wandrd Magnetic Camera Strap   🟡 See Marcus's Cuba Image

Coming up in our July podcast: Icelandair identifies the world’s worst photographer - and it’s not one of us. We discuss why you wouldn’t want to date James if romance is what you’re after, and why your memory card is quite possibly fake. Plus we look at Apple's latest tool, for photographers who forgot to compose their shot, the cardboard filters for those on a budget and the fisheye lens inspired by the sound of crashing waves.

Coming up in our June podcast: we discuss the artist who’s caused outrage by colourising Ansel Adams' famous Moonrise image, why Sabrina Carpenter turned up to the Met Gala wearing film strips, and why India's tiger reserves have banned smartphones. We look at the camera exhibit where visitors are encouraged to smash old cameras, Canon's surprisingly useful new lens cap, and Kodak bringing large-format film back from the dead.   LINKS 🟡 Kingjoy Tripods   🟡 AI-Generated Colour Version of Moonrise, Hernandez 🟡 Sabrina Carpenter Wears Dress Made From Film Strips 🟡 India’s Tiger Reserves are Banning Smartphone Photography 🟡 Smash a Camera to Pieces at New Exhibit   🟡 Viperpod Tripod Doesn't Need the Ground 🟡 DJI's Robophotographer Getup 🟡 Sony A7R VI 🟡 Kodak Goes Big With Large-Format Film   🟡 See Marcus's Great Wall Image 🟡  Get in touch: [email protected]

Coming up in our May podcast: we discuss why Iceland Air are on the hunt for a terrible photographer, why a three-handed Kodak shooter was spotted on a giant billboard, and the guy who could have used an extra hand juggling fourteen different cameras at the Artemis Launch last month. We look at the watch that is also a light meter, the wallet that is also a memory card holder and the ultimate lens hood which is dead handy if you fly fighter jets.

Coming up in our April podcast: Marcus asks why astronauts have chosen 10 year old DSLRs to accompany them to Moon this year, James explains why Sigma’s latest venture is in farming, and and we all try to make sense of Adobe’s very expensive payout. Plus, the guys take aim at a “7-in-1” photographer’s jacket - with 29 places to lose your lens cap - and wonder if you need to be Clint Eastwood to use the Ultimate Lens Holder.

Coming up in our March podcast: Marcus, James and Ruth climb aboard a photography-themed train where you can travel 400 miles while taking part in curated photo shoots along the way, and we discuss yet more bad behaviour in the relentless pursuit of the perfect photograph. We ask if the world really needs a drone attachment that keeps it grounded, check out two new lens releases, and the camera kickstarter campaign that Marcus is actually excited by.   LINKS 🟡 Mt Fuji Cherry Blossom Festival Cancelled 🟡 Photography Themed Tourist Train 🟡 The Dog Who Takes Pictures When He Gets Excited 🟡 Photographer Harassing Owl Highlights Growing Problem 🟡 Monkey Selfie Image 🟡 BeerPAN 35mm Pano Camera 🟡 Dronebal 🟡 AstrHori 6mm Fisheye Lens 🟡 Leica 35mm Noctilux Lens   🟡 See James's Kingjoy Burano Image 🟡  Get in touch: [email protected]

Coming up in our February podcast: we examine the case of the photographers accused of causing the extinction of an endangered species and discuss the lengths some pros will go to to have a clear view of their subject. We also look at some shiny bling which promises it can save the day for the forgetful photographer and decide if a push-button camera bag is just another gimmick or a stroke of genius.   LINKS 🟡 New UK Drone Users Must Take Theory Test 🟡 James Abbott (Drone Expert) 🟡 Photographers Accused of Destroying Habitat as Rare Frogs Vanish 🟡 Thai Photographers Shooing Away Tourists 🟡 Instagram Claims Camera Companies Going in the Wrong Direction   🟡 Flex Lens Shade 🟡 Bevisgear Push-Button Backpack 🟡 SD Card Necklace 🟡 Instax Mini Evo Camera   🟡 See Nick's Kingjoy Dolomites Image 🟡  Get in touch: [email protected]
