The Photography Pubcast | S06E01 | Autumn Colour, Drone Bans & A Bold New Lens?

Season 6 continues with our mid-week banter episode of The Photography Pubcast—zero pixel-peeping, maximum stories. Dave drops a wild US road-trip saga (hello high-altitude cerebral edema, wheelchairs, and sheer grit), including the hot take: “Yellowstone is an abomination.” Jamie unveils his retirement side quest: metal detecting in Roman-rich Peterborough (coins, brooches, even a medieval gold ring). Daz reveals a big house move after 21 years (and a monster fence build), while Sam returns to guitar and AI stem-splitting to revive old band demos—Beatles-style workflows without the studio bill. Gary quits cricket, angles for golf, and somehow leads us into the great sock–shoe order debate.We also clash (politely) on phones in schools, doom-scrolling, and the future of newspapers and photography magazines in a streaming world. This is the second half of our new two-episode format: photography chat on Sundays, banter on Wednesdays—so tell us what you prefer.Jump in the comments:• Sock order—right-left or left-right? Sock–sock or sock–shoe?• Should phones be banned in schools?• Do you still buy print newspapers/magazines?• Metal detecting crew: your best Roman/medieval finds?If you enjoy photography podcasts, landscape chat, UK creatives, metal detecting, AI music, and real-world fieldcraft, smash Subscribe and ring the bell.

Season 6 kicks off with a brand-new format: two episodes a week — one pure photography chat and one for the banter. In this photography-only episode, Gary, Jamie, Daz, Sam and Dave dive into autumn colour forecasts (mast year for acorns, conkers and berries), how storms shift woodland photography timing, and whether the UK peak is late October to early November. We debate Iceland’s new drone restrictions at iconic waterfalls, National Trust policies, drone etiquette, and when aerial footage elevates a YouTube vlog versus becomes noise. Dave shares dramatic frames from a US road trip (Snake River, Colorado canyons, Tetons) and a real-life cliffhanger; Sam reveals a misty river scene where sleeping in beat sunrise; Gary brings Durdle Door, Broadway Tower, and moody interiors; Daz sparks a thoughtful critique on subject vs. colour in woodlands. We also react to Kase launching an 85mm f/1.4 portrait lens — smart competition or tough sell?If you’re into landscape photography, woodland colours, drone videography, gear talk, and real-world fieldcraft, this is your episode.
