Neale’s getting nervous about the footie and Kev’s celebrating picture sales to clients who forgot to order ANY pictures when they got married almost a decade ago! Also on the show, trading in all the lenses you don’t use for one excellent lens you will, more on the GFX IBIS-gate story and cropping in camera, being honest in reviews, wedding-centric glass, learning to shoot candidly for day-in-the-life shoots, and what is your camera doing while it’s sat in your camera bag?!? The book of the week is Queer Happened Here by Marc Zinaman.

When we recorded this episode, the tariff situation was locked in, firm as a rock, ‘You know who' said absolutely no U-turns. So naturally, by the time you hear it, the rock's done a cartwheel and landed in a hedge. All the same, just in time for Easter, questions in to the show include how to egg collect and take pictures at the same time, although all is not as it seems! Also on the show, can Pictime be a replacement for your website, are mentors important to your development as a photographer, and should you pay for their services? Touch screen controls, do they drive you bonkers too? We talk about eye-tracking, a new pancake lens for the system and how to respond to unhappy clients.

Kev’s talk at The Photography Show draws more than a few admiring glances, and it’s now a film! The GFX 100RF has been announced and we ask, is it a camera you need for your kitbag? Who is this camera really for, and why does it leave some photographers vacillating between curiosity and a quiet sense of unease? Kev answers these questions and more, whilst attempting to keep his blood pressure within safe limits. Also on the show, finding a small interchangeable lens camera for street work in the Fujifilm range, manual focusing for astro photography, a documentary magazine collection introduced to us by Ashton Zala, sneak peaks of galleries for clients, and a new genre possibly: chicken dinners!?

Kev’s been to Cheltenham to take pictures of people losing money at the races, although he has a secret, not-so-secret strategy! Also, on the show today, do you do colour calibration (?!?), back-button focus-gate, what’s happening with my X-T5’s ISO on all-auto, is there a good free alternative to Adobe products, there’s a hole in my lens hood - what should I do, and how do I cope with guests at weddings instructing me not to take pictures of them? Plus, dealing with working outside your style for clients, the fabled 18mm f2 lens, and should you use your own name as your business identity.
