When you cameras produce millions of bits of data, the computer you use to process those bits plays a massive part in your creative process. In this episode we talk about the 16-inch Apple MacBook Pros we have been using for the past few months. Both of our machines sport M1 Max processors and the revolutionary technology in the new chips have dramatically changed how we manage and process our photo, video and audio projects. With massive boosts in processing speed and bandwidth, work that used to bring spinning beach balls and screaming fans now breezes through at staggering speeds. Hear how the new technology has opened doors to new tools and techniques that have us very excited for the future.For full show notes, visit www.photocombobulate.com/episodes/18

If you have more than one camera and one lens, you probably have a camera bag. While you can toss your gear into any old sack, a thoughtfully-designed and well-built camera bag will enable you to carry your gear more which should lead to more photos and more photos is good! In this episode we attempt to make sense of all of our options for carrying cameras. We discuss the good and bad of shoulder bags, sling bags and backpacks and how the best camera bag is several camera bags.

Joe McNally is a legend. From his scrappy days as a fledgling photojournalist on the streets of New York City to his globe-trotting adventures as a National Geographic contributor, Joe has crafted images of people with a humble and tireless work ethic.

It's not stealing if you give it to them. In this episode we try to answer the question, “What do you do when someone asks to use your photos for free?” As with many things photographic, there's no easy answer. It's flattering when people want to use your images, but pump the brakes on giving them away for free unless you get something out of the transaction. We discuss the fine print in photo contest rules that grant them rights to your work, how trading your work for “exposure” can be a good thing, and how when there's money involved, you need to stand up for yourself. In short, if someone thinks your images are worth something, they should give you something for them.

When it comes to holiday gifts, do you really want to leave it to chance that your loved ones will get you things you might actually use? In a world filled with cheap coffee mugs shaped like camera lenses, we're here to help you build a list of truly useful items that won't break the bank. Think of us as your own personal holiday elves working hard to get the best photo gadgets, tools and books under your tree.
