The FujiCast Photography Show

In January 2019, a year before the world went slightly mad for a while, Neale and Kev started a podcast with no idea how long it would run. I mean, who would listen to this, and why would they listen? Now 2,712 days after episode 1 aired, the show has an announcement, and we wanted you to hear it from the horse's mouth, as it were. It's a timely announcement, too, as Kev takes some extended leave in his beloved Spain. On top of that, we'll be answering questions about the most useless photographic gizmos we've bought, the cameras we regretted or admired, flash (a-aahhhh), the 50mm f2 versus the 56mm f1.2, does Kev not like zooms (?), assigning recipes to dials, and Lightroom meets video editing.

Stand well back from the podcast player today, because Kev's brought man flu to the airwaves! What he needs is a week-long retreat in Scotland, which Neale shares details about during the show. Today, photographic mishaps, when things don't quite work out as you plan, post professional gig rituals, wedding fair conversions, and we ask the question, are engagement shoots a thing anymore? Also, Ed Sheeran's One Shot show, using flash for nature photography, faster Fujifilm lenses for landscape photography, expanding your photo business into social photography, being genre-specific on a website, photographing weddings for free to gain experience, and marketing to new clients.

Kev returns from a week away looking at the world through the bottom of a pint glass, but all is well, and we're ready for the final push through to the time of year it's too early to mention yet! Your questions and emails into the show answered. Today, should you recycle your memory cards more often to be absolutely safe they won't corrupt? Do we have a strategy for our exits from shooting weddings or even being photographers? Is the wedding industry for photographers at any rate, the slowest it has been since the pandemic took it away for a while? Do you calibrate your monitor? And the big elephant in Kev's duck stream (listen the show that will makes sense), what will the new X-Pro line camera look like?

Neale and Kev return from Fujikina having run workshops and spoken on panels, and are full of the joys of spring for the next! Hint hint. But there's a problem, we're running dry of questions, is this the end? Another hint hint. Questions and thoughts about what Fujifilm kit to take on an astro photography trip, a lifetime trip to Japan, do the boys prefer prime or zooms, some thoughts about Sigma lenses and different focal lengths for your X100 camera! And the big one; our thoughts about ChatGPT, whether you're using it for writing, life-planning, editing, or even writing code for your website. Oh, and the boys are thinking about moving to a small idyllic island in the South Pacific! Email the show with your questions: click@fujicast.co.uk For links go to the showpage.

Kev's returned from Spain, and he's possibly brought a suitcase full of scorpions home, so we've sent him to check! We say goodbye today to Pictime, our sponsor for the last few years, waving them off, but still loving their product. Questions in to the show include whether the GFX is right for wedding work, or is it an incy bit slow, what's the best social platform to concentrate on if you're social shy or social fatigued, street projects to whet the creative appetite, and how to sort your images after a long day's shooting. We also, have a book of the week by James and Karla Murray called Vinyl NYC, celebrating record shops of that great city.

In the midst of Summer with Kev sunning himself by a Spanish pool until 2027 the boys answer your questions about everything Fujifilm and beyond. This week, what are Kev and Neale planning to photograph in their retirement?! What is this R word? Do creatives ever truly retire? Also, being a creature of habit with the scenes you know, to travelling abroad with your lens - with a greater sense of adventure. We talk about travel photography, how to work with IBIS, problems with command dials, the upcoming Fujikina Photo Festival event in London, making cider, and what advantages do I really get by upgrading an older X-Pro system?
