The FujiCast: Photography Podcast

Kev wonders whether his new X-Pro dreams have filtered through to the ‘We shall consider’ file. Meanwhile, switch on your ai face recognition, it has arrived on Pic-Time’s platform, our sponsors and the finest online gallery space. Also today on the show, upgrades, do you need to upgrade from the X-T4 to the X-T5? We also talk about film photography and darkroom printing, having a style about your Instagram grid that is brand recognisable, uploading images to websites and sRGB versus AdobeRGB. Plus it turns out that the boys have alternative skills should they ever need to call upon them; Kev was a Welsh milk boy, and Neale was one of the last petrol pump attendants in Hertfordshire!

Kev's nervously optimistic ahead of the Welsh qualifier against Poland, considering an unusual Tikkety Tok channel and musing over the number of holes in an average crumpet, but he's still single-handedly campaigning for the new X100(6) to be known as the V.I. Neale remains to be convinced. Also, YouTube trolling, camera supply issues, desired articulating screens for a new XT generation of cameras, monochrome recipes for family photography, an offer to see Mr. Whisper share his secrets of street work, presenting commercial work the client likes but you don't and should we still be using JPG with HEIF now available in-camera?

Also, third-party glass and how available the mount is for those wishing to provide an alternative to Fujifilm lenses, phone-like features within an X-series body, how long can the X100 model keep developing, the thought process behind shooting street from Mr. Whisper, choosing music for films and photography slideshows, how to become an X-Photographer and the state of the portrait industry.

It’s new camera week! The boys are excited over the launch, at last, of the latest Fujifilm X100 camera; the X100VI, or SIX!
