CMY Cast

The gang is back from a 2-3 week hiatus... we've gone through a tropical storm, a crazy election, and worst of all: Christian's travels. In this episode, we talk about the potential merits and flaws of the new Zeiss ZX1. Lightroom built into a camera is definitely innovative but is it practical? What would it be like to own a "Green Bubble Camera." We also pose the question... can a modern digital camera be a "forever" camera or will we be chasing rainbows forever due to technology?

In this episode, we talk about all the places we'd visit when we're all able to travel freely again. Marc shows us his latest pickup... a Wes Anderson-inspired photo book with photos from all around the world that channel the director's visual style.  Tune in to find out which of us are Wes Anderson's biggest fan and more!

It's a new week and like clockwork, Marc is considering buying and selling more stuff. Christian explains how minimizing his kit has made him a better photographer, or at least... simplified his process. And just because you know we can't get enough Leica talk, we discuss the upside of "investing" in Leica glass (refer to episode 7).

We're on our TENTH episode of CMY! Thanks for tuning in and watching/listening! On today's episode, we discuss how newer camera technology compares to the prior generation of similar models... are incremental upgrades good enough reasons to upgrade to a newer camera? We're also taking bets on how long can Marc go without changing up his camera gear.Be sure to like, subscribe, and leave feedback in the comments!

On this week’s episode of the show, Yani reminds us of our past transgressions. Marc tells us which camera(s) he took along for his weekend trip. We talk about the struggles of being a lesser photographer while packing for trips which begs the question... is there a camera you'd never leave the house without? We also talk about printing your photos as photo books... or zines... or whatever they’re called these days. Relevant Links:Samuel L.

On this episode, we talk about two controversial topics in photo editing: using presets and cropping. Can presets help you achieve a unique and consistent look (all the tones!) or does it result in preset decision fatigue? Is cropping acceptable or is it a cardinal sin? We also discover that Yani might just be color blind. Relevant Links:Kat Irlin (Kat_in_NYC) - https://www.instagram.com/kat_in_nyc/ Fuji JPEG Recipes (Fuji X Weekly) - https://fujixweekly.com/ Be sure to like, subscribe, and leave feedback in the comments!

This week we discuss our thoughts on the Platon episode of "Abstract" on Netflix and why we think it takes more than technical skills to be a good portrait photographer. We talk about the importance of empathy, situational awareness, and making connections in photography, particularly in portraiture. We chat about the best photography deals we've ever stumbled upon, how trends have affected the prices of vintage cameras.

This week on the show... Yani sees how many cameras he can use for photos of his kid before one of them lose patience. Christian shares his experience traveling to, and photographing Milwaukee and why he probably won't care about any of the photos... for now. We discuss a handful of inspiring artists and their work.

In this episode, we talk about how we each got started in photography and our journey. We take a look at the amazing (for the time) Sony DSC-F717 that Yaniel used to shoot with in the early 2000s, Marc's realization that a Canon Rebel XS is amazingly better than an iPhone 3GS, and Christian's transition from audiophile to Leica-phile.
