If you like the idea of combining multiple photos to create a cool high-dynamic-range look, but haven't been able to get the results you want, now would be a good time to take a look at Aurora HDR from Skylum. It works as a standalone application or as a plug-in for Adobe's applications. In Short Circuits: Facebook constantly adds features I don't want and displays far more ads than seems reasonable. Social Fixer makes Facebook tolerable by removing stories, games, and other components you don't like. I've encountered another laughable porn scam. Let's take a look at the email and see why it's obviously a phony. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Microsoft's safety features make recovering from a problematic update easier than in the past, but the leftover files can get in the way. You can remove them. • Notepad is a handy Windows utility. Notepad++ is even better and it's free.

Charge more with a bigger camera, electronic or manual shutter, L-bracket love, and matching prints to clients lighting conditions - are the PPN listener questions that Marco answers on this episode.   Please submit your photography related questions to us here: http://www.photopodcasts.com/contact.html This episode is sponsored by: Skylum Luminar 3 - Supercharge your image editing and organizing http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3 Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:   Hello Marco, I have a gear and marketing related question for you. I am working part-time as an event and wedding photographer. On my jobs, I use a Fuji X-T2 and a Fuji X-Pro 2 with prime lenses. My clients are always satisfied with the results that I deliver. But especially at weddings I often see guests with much bigger and more expensive DSLR cameras taking pictures as well. And sometimes I get asked if I plan on upgrading to a pro camera any time, soon - or similar questions. I know that my images are good, but do you think that it would help to upgrade to a larger kit in order to look more professional and maybe charge more money for my jobs in the future?

When should you and when should you not use the different kinds of shutter? Question from: Vincent, Long Beach, California Hi Marco, what is the point of using an extra L-bracket or L-plate with a tripod? I can simply turn the ball head on my tripod by 90° to move from landscape to portrait orientation. Thanks! Question from: Christian, Copenhagen, Denmark   Gear discussed in this question: L-brackets for different cameras B&H: https://bhpho.to/2MQuLp7 Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2SfzeaL   I’m having a hard time judging the true color of my printed photos. I have a calibrated LCD monitor and a calibrated ICC workflow. The images come out in my studio the way I want, but when I bring them to hang at a customers house or display them at a coffee shop, they often have a different color tint. How can I avoid this?

I have been listening to Scott and you for many years on different podcasts. But I love how you run and structure PPN. This has become my favorite podcast channel. As a listener for many years, you now have finally convinced me to start a photo project for 2019. But now I’m sitting here all excited but without an idea what kind of topic to choose. Can you help me with some advice on how I can come up with a good personal photo project? I’m an avid amateur photographer but do have some free time for photo projects. Thanks for all the hard work and great shows! Question from: Willem, Rotterdam, Netherlands Marco’s “Hamburg Unstaged 2017” street photography project on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qo2YUDUgV5I   Hi Marco, 2019 is the year I want to seriously improve my photography. I do have some basic skills but somehow my photos are boring and I don’t get a lot of encouraging comments or likes for them. I do enjoy the inspiration on the PPN shows, but can you give me some extra homework or inspiration to live and breathe photography in 2019? Thanks!

Can you really do an audio review of a photo editing program? Sure you can. I've been working with Luminar for quite some time now. And as an editor I really enjoy the software. The latest feature which will be available in a few short days is a new Library for Luminar. You can now save your images into Luminar itself, which is a great leap forward. For many people, the hope is that Luminar can become a replacement for Adobe's Lightroom. Today it is not that replacement, but it may become a contender in the next 6 months. At present for my purposes, I'll continue using Lightroom as my photo management platform of choice. And I'll continue using Skylume's Aurora HDR and Luminar 3 as plugins to Lightroom. Do I like Luminar? Yes. Do I think the new version with libraries will assist in my current photo editing workflow?

Recorded 8th December 2018 This week a slightly different show as I am deeply privileged to have as my special guest David Acklam, not a name you may know, but he was part of the development team for the Global Positioning System. Something that we now take forgranted but as one of the team described it a technology that went “from obscurity to ubiquity” and started out at what became known as “The Lonely Halls Meeting” which sounds more like a Peter Jackson fantasy epic than a world changing technology meeting!

This show contains a great selection of photography questions send in by PPN listeners in 2018.   Please submit your photography related questions to us here: http://www.photopodcasts.com/contact.html This episode is sponsored by:   Skylum Luminar 3 - Supercharge your image editing and organizing https://bit.ly/2QgVnnC   HoneyBook - Win Clients. Book Faster. Get Paid. Stay Organized. https://bit.ly/2sAyZIv Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:   Should I buy a kit lens bundle as they are often a good value or rather buy the body only and use the extra money for the better lens that I really want? Question from: Frank from Brisbane, Australia Hi PPN Team, my project for 2018 is to start to become a serious portrait photographer. I use a Fuji X-T2 and have the XF 14mm f2.8, XF 23mm f2, and XF 35mm f1.4 lens so far. I’m looking at buying a real portrait lens and I’m in between the XF 56mm f1.2 and the XF 90mm f2. I’ve heard that both are optically very good, but which focal length would be better? Thanks for all the shows! Question from: Sandro, Toronto, Canada Hello Marco, I have been listening to you and Scott for some time and love the inspiration and knowledge that you share with so much enthusiasm on PPN. You are also one of the reasons that I want to pursue my photography more seriously and maybe start to make a living as a photographer. I enjoy to do portrait photography and could also see myself photographing weddings. You have mentioned that you are also a consultant for photography, so could you please give me some initial thoughts on how I should proceed? Thank you! Question from: Charlotte, Dallas, Texas   Links that Marco mentioned while answering this question: Save $2 on your first purchase of a new domain at Hover: https://hover.com/WAlY3czw   Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones Sony WH-1000XM2/XM3 or Bose QuietComfort 35 II B&H: Sony: https://bhpho.to/2qXGFmT Bose: https://bhpho.to/2G0LrKV Amazon Germany: Sony https://amzn.to/2q8h36P Bose https://amzn.to/2q5WUxw   Hi Marco, after many years of photography, I’m still uncertain which exposure metering mode I should use on my camera. My camera has three modes (matrix metering, center-weighted metering, and spot metering). Which one do you use as default mode and when would you switch to one of the other modes? Question from: Kyle, Chicago, Illinois     Hi Marco, I have started to become a more serious photographer about 3 years ago. I share my images on Instagram and Flickr and have received many likes and some positive comments so far. Now I have been invited to submit my images to a photo competition. What are your thoughts on photo competitions? Are they any good to make me more famous and expand my network or are they a waste of time and money? Question from: Adrian, Melbourne, Australia     I have been photographing for a few years now, but I’m still uncertain which camera setting should be my go-to base in the exposure triangle? ISO, aperture, or shutter speed? Question from Bjoern, Hamburg, Germany     Hi Marco, why do you shoot with wide angle lenses for street or documentary photography? It seems so much easier to work candidly with a longer lens since you don’t have to get so close to your subject. And the chances of “getting caught” seem to decrease the longer the focal length of the lens is. Thanks! Question from: Mateo, Barcelona, Spain     Hi Marco, I have recently started to work as a part-time event and wedding photographer and always try to improve my workflow and quality of work. I often read on forums that a real pro should shoot in “M” (Manual) mode like the real masters do. But I have been taught that today’s cameras are very capable and often do a better job in choosing the right settings than a human can. I’m a bit confused about which is the better approach. Can you help in clarifying this for me? Thank you for all of the great shows that you produce. I’ve learned a lot so far. Question from: Julia, Vancouver, Canada     Hola Marco, I am really inspired by the inspirational photographers that you have interviewed and introduced at PPN. I have looked at many of their images and this has challenged me to take an iconic photo one day. I am an avid amateur and know how to take good photos. Some of my images have been printed in a local newspaper already. I know that this is not an easy question to answer, but what can I do to achieve my dream one day?

Q&A about how many megapixels are enough for printing, why not rely on the histogram, and what online print service to use? Please submit your photography related questions to us here: http://www.photopodcasts.com/contact.html This episode is sponsored by:   HoneyBook - Win Clients. Book Faster. Get Paid. Stay Organized. https://bit.ly/2sAyZIv Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:   Hi Marco, I would like to know, if everything else is equal, how many megapixels would an image file need to have to be able to render a good print (300 dpi) at various sizes, i.e. 5 x7, 8 x 10, 11 x 14, etc.? Thank you for your great podcast! Regards, Jeff. Question from: Jeff, Phoenix, Arizona, USA Hello, I love the podcasts. I was listening to an episode of “we shoot mirrorless” and had a question. I'm a Nikon shooter who recently purchased a Panasonic G7 M4/3 camera. Scott was giving some tips on how to get the most out of these small sensors and mentioned that you should always expose to the right. It makes sense to me. However, you guys mentioned that while using this technique you should never trust your histogram. First, why is this the case, and second if you're not using your histogram, how can you tell if you're not blowing out your highlights? Question by: John, Washington D.C., USA Thank you for the recent show about printing. I am not in the position at the moment to buy a printer & might not be able to for about 12 months. Can you recommend an online printing store, or alternatively suggest ways to work out which online store to use? I live in Australia however, I am happy to use an online store that is based elsewhere in the world. I'd like to print photos to hang on my walls so I think a minimum of 8x10" would be a good size to start with. I live in a small regional town & I do not have a local brick & mortar camera store to use. Thanks for all the amazing podcasts you do, I love listening to them all.

“HDR” used to bring to mind surreal landscapes with garish colors and very few shadows. Fortunately, high-dynamic range photography has matured beyond those early days, and is a useful technique for getting more detail out of any scene. The latest iPhone and other smartphone cameras use HDR liberally to create good shots in all types of situations. We talk about making HDR photos using traditional cameras and techniques and also the new iPhone's computational methods.

Q&A about how much you should charge for your photos or prints, how to use a polarizing filter, and which camera should you get for your kid to learn photography? Please submit your photography related questions to us here: http://www.photopodcasts.com/contact.html This episode is sponsored by:   HoneyBook - Win Clients. Book Faster. Get Paid. Stay Organized. https://bit.ly/2sAyZIv Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:   Marco, I’ve just listened to you latest Camera and Inspiration episode #18 with Jeffrey Stoner, where you’ve talked about selling your images through galleries and online. One important question was not covered though: How much should I charge for my images? I now that there is not one definite answer to this, but I know that you always try to give us different approaches from your experience. And I would greatly appreciate hearing some suggestions from you. Thanks, Luke. Question from: Luke, Washington D.C. USA   Things to put into consideration when calculating the cost of your images/prints: Cost of paper (including test prints to reach your desired results) Cost of ink for that size print (including test prints and wasted “cleaning” ink to reach your desired results) Cost of the printer amortized over i.e. 3 years and divided by a realistic (conservative) amount of prints that you sell each year - then add that pro rata to each prints cost. Cost of your computer and software amortized over i.e. 3 years and divided by a realistic amount of prints that you sell each year - then add that pro rata to each prints cost. Cost of photo equipment (camera, lenses, tripods, bags, filters, strobes, etc.) that you buy each year. Allocate the amount of annual cost (or only half of that if your print business is only about 50% of your business as a photographer) and add that pro rata to each prints cost. Cost of your time. Many artists don’t put this factor into consideration, but time is valuable. The time you spent scouting locations, traveling, waiting for the right weather or moment, selecting images, post-processing, printing, and marketing yourself can make up a huge amount of your time that you can’t be making money at doing other things. Just add a $10 minimum wage to each hour that you invest in the photos that you want to sell as prints. Add those to get the number of hours per year and add that pro rata to each prints cost. Now you have value for the real cost of each image that you sell. But didn’t you want to earn money doing this, too? Your cost of living has not been covered yet. And rent, food, health insurance, education, transportation, clothes, entertainment, and taxes have not been covered at all by this. So based on the realistic (conservative) amount of prints that you want to sell each year, you need to add a profit into the calculation, too. If you sell about 30 prints per year, a 200% markup may result in a decent profit to sustain your print business. If you sell higher volumes, a lower markup can be feasible, but if you sell through galleries, remember that you may have to subtract an extra 40%-60% commision of the sales price for the gallery. This is just to give you a basic idea of how to calculate your real cost of each image and how to price it to make a profit. Your results may vary, but be honest with yourself in the process. Would you please give an example of when and how to use a polarizing filter. How do you know when you have the correct setting for maximizing your image? Thanks!

Glad to say I actually purchased Apple Care with my 2017 iMac. I don't usually do that. Maybe I doomed myself. Since getting my 2017 iMac I have experienced something I've never experienced with any other Apple product. Extreme disappointment and issues. Today I'm brining my computer "into the shop" again. Yes, this isn't the first issue, but it's the final one for me. Electric sizzling sounds from the speakers randomly, blue tooth disconnecting, Wi-Fi disconnects, programs freezing randomly, and more issues as well. Seriously, I recorded this podcast on my Macbook Pro (2014) this morning. Glad that little system still runs (albeit slowly). Tech problems happen, and sometimes you have to waste a day or two to get them dealt with. Wish me luck.

Skylum has released their latest version of Aurora HDR software. So this morning I downloaded the latest version and started experimenting with it. I've been doing High Dynamic Range Photography for over a decade now. I started out with Photomatix Pro, and last year tried out Aurora. There are some things I like, and some things I don't. I've used HDR for my landscape photography and travel photography for a decade now. HDR has come a long way, and Skylum might be on the right track. There will also be a follow up to this podcast on YouTube later today or tomorrow morning, so click the YouTube link below to see Aurora HDR in action.

I really enjoy doing this kind of photography and want to grow this into a part-time business. But with the fast-paced news cycle, I have realized that you need to be the first one sending the photos out in order to be picked up by relevant media outlets. But shooting and at the same time importing, sorting, and post-processing the images with my MacBook Pro is currently way too slow. How do you do it and what are your suggestions for a speedy workflow on the go?

As a hobby photographer, my friends and relatives always asked me to bring my camera and take portraits or document a wedding for free. But as they are my starting customer base in this transition, how can I manage to now charge them for the photos that they are used to get for free? Thanks for the wonderfully diverse photo podcasts that you produce each month! Question from: Camilla, Göteborg, Sweden I’m a wedding photographer and currently use a Nikon D500 (APS-C) with two memory card slots (SD+XQD). I have been waiting for the release of the new Nikon mirrorless camera and want to add it as a FF body for it’s quieter operation without mirror noise and better ISO, DOF and live view AF performance. But as many reviewers have already noted, the Z6 only has one XQD memory card slot. As a wedding photographer who can not repeat to shoot a wedding day, I am very afraid of losing images when I only have one card slot in the camera. Is this a valid fear or is this just gear hysteria?

There's so much out there these days about the tiny home movement. Living a more minimalist lifestyle and all that. I have to say, I've been a full time Airstreamer for over a decade now, and I think the original tiny homes might just be RV's. Mobile home, small footprint, and definitely requiring a conscious effort to not clutter your little home. Today we talk Tiny Homes, a new Tiny Home Hotel in Cave Creek AZ, and my puzzling over how mobile tiny houses really are. •Check out my class on Drone Photography and Image Editing, more than 50% off for visitors to this channel!

Today's podcast is a short one. I just wanted to wish everyone a happy long weekend. This weekend the Airstream stayed put. And I almost achieved relaxation....almost. As a small business owner who works from his home, it's tough sometimes to separate work and rest time. Work is always right there with you. In today's episode I talk a little more about my new online course, and how that ties into my full time Airstream living.

It seems so much easier to work candidly with a longer lens since you don’t have to get so close to your subject. And the chances of “getting caught” seem to decrease the longer the focal length of the lens is. Thanks!

This week's episode is a special one. During the latest Out Of Chicago Summer Conference, Ugo was the moderator of a panel discussion involving two very well-known travel and nature photographers, Scott Bourne and Deborah Sandidge, in addition to the founder and president of PHLEARN, Aaron Nace, who is also a passionate photographer.Deborah is known for employing creative techniques, both during capture and at the computer, to give her photos a unique look, using long exposures and various tools for expressing her artistic sensitivity; Scott also sits on the advisory board of Skylum, a company that produces powerful photo processing applications like Luminar and AuroraHDR and PHLEARN's catalog includes many courses about post-processing.Thanks to the availability of very affordable tools and education for post-processing, it is not surprising that people are sometimes pushing the boundaries of an art form that was for a time (and it still is in the mind of large numbers of people) very much tied to the concept of a faithful, or at least plausible, representation of reality.We asked the panelists for their take on this often debated topic and what ensued was a lively and stimulating discussion that also touched other topics, like the role of education and tools in shaping the current trends in photography. As the panel went on for about 90 minutes, we split the recording in two parts. This is the second part; you can find the first part here.In this segment, topics like market trends in photography, the evolution of personal style, and finding inspiration were also discussed. You'll also learn what EDFAT means and why it's so important.Apologies for the audio quality, which is not at the usual level of quality. The microphones in front of the stage picked up a bit of background noise, but we think it's still intelligible and the contents of the conversation, which are what really matters, are too good not to share.We would also like to thank Chris Smith and the staff at Out Of Chicago for giving us the opportunity and the means to record this. If you've never been to Out Of Chicago, you should definitely attend it and we'll certainly be there again next year. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

ISO, aperture, or shutter speed? Question from Bjoern, Hamburg, Germany   Marco, I shoot a lot of landscape and long exposure photography with my Fuji X-T2. The camera is fairly light but I still need to bring along a heavy metal tripod because I often shoot in windy conditions and some long exposures are unsharp due to wind shake. I don’t want to bring an even heavier tripod along. Is there a way that I can get more stable shots and can reduce some weight by switching to a carbon tripod, or is weight the only thing that can counter the wind and shake? Question from Roberto in Napoli, Italy   Inspired by your latest More Gear Show I want to bring as little photo gear as possible on my vacation this year. I usually take an ND grad and a polarizing filter with me, but was wondering if I can leave them at home and achieve the same results in LightRoom? Question from Benjamin, Vienna, Austria.   Hi Marco, I want to thank you for all of the interesting and inspiring shows that you produce at PPN. I have learned a lot so far. Today, I have my first question for you. I’m battling with sensor dust. The sensor cleaning inside the camera does not seem to get rid of all the dust. What’s the best way to clean my sensor?

Book Faster. Get Paid.

My camera has three modes (matrix metering, center-weighted metering, and spot metering). Which one do you use as default mode and when would you switch to one of the other modes? Question from: Kyle, Chicago, Illinois   Hi Marco, first of all, I want to thank you and Scott for all of the great education, inspiration, and technical explanation that you provide each month at PPN.

I currently use a small Canon print & scan combination, but I want to buy a photo printer and would like to get your advice what I should look out for. Thank you and please continue to inspire us.

A creative discussion with our guest Olaf Sztaba. We talk about what can inspire you - once you see nothing interesting to take pictures of anymore.   This is episode #14 of the Camera and Inspiration show at “PPN - Photo Podcast Network” for May 2018.   This episode is sponsored by: Skylum’s Aurora HDR 2018 software - The #1 HDR Software for Mac & Windows Use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” to save $10 at checkout. Olaf Sztaba picked up his first camera 35 years ago and it ignited his passion for “seeing” - and it turned into his lifetime journey with photography. Many call him a visual poet. His images and writings about creativity, seeing, and simplifying visual scenes are published online and offline in blogs and print media.   Olaf picked Trent Parke as the PPN inspirational photographer of the month. Trent is a four times World Press Photo Award winner and a member of Magnum Photo. But Olaf especially admires the creative vision and longtime projects that Trent creates mainly in camera and not through extensive post-processing. Marco picked Trent's book “Minutes to Midnight” in the PPN - Camera and Inspiration episode #3. You can find out more about Trent Parke on his Magnum profile page: https://www.magnumphotos.com/photographer/trent-parke/   In the main part of the show, Olaf and Marco share some hands-on tips on how to motivate you to go out and see new things even in your familiar surroundings. Try new approaches, allow emotions in your photo shoots, take risks, create questions with your photos, and subtract objects from your images are just a few tips that they cover.   Here are the links to Olaf’s work and social media accounts:   Web: https://olafphotoblog.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/olafphoto   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/olaf_photo/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/olaf.sztaba    Marco’s inspirational photo book of the month is called: “Seeing Simplified” - by Olaf Sztaba.   Link to book: https://gumroad.com/l/nfnp Published by OLI Publishing Inc.  (212 pages)   This book is a creative and visual guide and gives you a lot of optical food for thought. The book should be a constant companion on your smartphone or tablet. And if you are ever in a situation, maybe in your own town, and you see nothing interesting to take a photo of, just open a random page of Olaf’s book and challenge yourself to take an image in that style. And this is not to merely copy Olaf’s style, but it may trigger one of those a-ha moments that burns itself into your memory and makes you aware of something, that you may have overlooked all of those years before. Olaf has worked hard for decades to collect these moments and this book gives you a shortcut to decades of photographic experience and inspiration. For only $24.95 you really should not pass on this opportunity and buy Olaf’s book.

But if you would be free to buy a new mirrorless camera system today, which one would you pick and why? And BTW, I loved your interview with Jeff Widener, it was very inspiring. Thank you for all the work and great PPN content! Question from: Edward, Toronto, Canada   I have a very simple and maybe a bit superficial question: Some of the camera bodies that I’m looking at right now are offered in black or silver. Should I just pick the one I like better or can you think of strategic reasons which one could be better? Question from: Liz, San Diego, California   Hi Marco, I have started to become a more serious photographer about 3 years ago. I share my images on Instagram and Flickr and have received many likes and some positive comments so far. Now I have been invited to submit my images to a photo competition. What are your thoughts on photo competitions?

Interview with Jeff Widener - Inspiration from the famous “Tank Man” photographer on his famous image, his photojournalism career, and inspirational words for other photographers.   This is episode #13 of the Camera and Inspiration show at “PPN - Photo Podcast Network” for April 2018.   This episode is sponsored by: Skylum’s Aurora HDR 2018 software - The #1 HDR Software for Mac & Windows Use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” to save $10 at checkout.   This is the 50th podcast episode at PPN and we invited a very special photographer for this episode: Jeff Widener is an American photojournalist who is best known for his famous “Tank Man” image from Beijing in 1989. Time magazine has selected this photo as one of the 100 most influential images of all time.   Marco picked Jeff Widener as the PPN inspirational photographer of the month, and Jeff shares the thrilling moments and the many coincidences that led to him taking the famous Tank Man photo and how it has changed his career.   But a world famous and powerful iconic image such as “Tank Man“ often reduces a photographer in public perception to that image. And while sometimes struggling with the nimbus of his famous image, Jeff has proven over and over again that he is a very talented photographer with a strong body of work. http://www.jeffwidener.com In this interview he shares what made him want to become a photographer, how he advanced in his career, and some of the funny and interesting experiences that he has made during his work as a photojournalist. https://www.instagram.com/jeff.widener/   Quotes from the interview:   "You don’t just take a picture - you have to feel it."   "I need more chaos in my images..."   "I’ll be 62 in August and I’m still trying to find solutions to problems that have been bugging me about my work for years."   Here are the links to Jeff’s work and social media accounts:  Web: http://www.jeffwidener.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeff.widener/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JeffSWidener/   Marco’s inspirational photo book of the month is called: “Modern Color” - by Fred Herzog. Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2vTUBDV   Published by Hatje Cantz (approx 320 pages): http://www.hatjecantz.de/fred-herzog-6837-1.html   Fred Herzog is mainly known for his photography in Vancouver where he focused primarily on capturing working-class life. He shot mainly on Kodachrome which marginalized him since most artists shot in B&W in the 1950’s and 1960’s. But he has and his work has been recognized in recent years and I certainly want to introduce you to his work and his book Modern Color. Herzog once said: “I wanted to show the world the way it is” The book mainly consists of beautiful color photographs of the 1950’s to 1970’s and the color is simply stunning If you had never shot Kodachrome and want to get an idea why so many dearly miss it, you will instantly find out after opening this book. This book should be on the very top of the list because it is a great example for those of you who may think that there is nothing interesting to photograph in your town anymore. Looking at old images is always interesting, Cars, clothes, houses, no smartphones, but what do you think Fred saw when he stepped out of his door in 1958? It all looked to him like when you step out of your door today. Study this book and see what caught his attention and convert it into today’s life. You may be amazed at the opportunities that lay before you. The book covers a lot of different scenes, some that include humans, but if you are not comfortable with photographing humans without asking beforehand, there are plenty of images of cars, houses, posters, and signs that are just stunning.

Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:   Hi Marco, I really love the 4 different photography shows and enjoy your diverse selection of photographer guests. I have a question regarding the online presentation of my images. I think that I have heard you say, that you are a fan of putting a watermark on your photos when you share them online. Other photographers say that they don’t put a watermark on their images because it destroys the optical esthetics and the copyright info is in the metadata of the image already. I’m really in between two fences here and would like to get your take on it. Thank you! Question from: Danielle, Sydney, Australia Hi PPN Team, my project for 2018 is to start to become a serious portrait photographer. I use a Fuji X-T2 and have the XF 14mm f2.8, XF 23mm f2, and XF 35mm f1.4 lens so far. I’m looking at buying a real portrait lens and I’m in between the XF 56mm f1.2 and the XF 90mm f2. I’ve heard that both are optically very good, but which focal length would be better? Thanks for all the shows! Question from: Sandro, Toronto, Canada   You’ve talked about the advantages and disadvantages of variable ND filters in your last Q&A show #9. This has convinced me to go with standard ND filters for my purpose (mainly landscape and long exposure Photography). But now I would like to piggyback on the question and ask if I should buy round screw on filters or rather the large square sliding filters?

I often read on forums that a real pro should shoot in “M” (Manual) mode like the real masters do. But I have been taught that today’s cameras are very capable and often do a better job in choosing the right settings than a human can. I’m a bit confused on which is the better approach. Can you help in clarifying this for me? Thank you for all of the great shows that you produce. I’ve learned a lot so far. Question from: Julia, Vancouver, Canada   I am doing a lot of landscape photography and like to use ND filters to slow down the shutter speed and get blurry water and clouds. But ND filters are expensive and it is a pain to carry and switch many of them around. And when I stack two or three on top of each other to get different ND strengths, I get strong vignetting in the corners, especially on wide angle lenses. A variable ND filter looks like a great solution to get the job done with only one filter. What do you think about them? Question from: Ian, Galway, Ireland   I often hear Pincushion or barrel distortion when people talk about lenses. Is this a real issue and something to worry about? Which one is better or worse for general photography if I have the choice between two lenses? Tack så mycket! Question from: Ole, Malmö, Sweden   When photographing in the city with just one camera and lens on a strap and no bag. Where do you put your camera while eating at a café? Those small café tables outside, leave little room for food and drinks and you don't want the soft drinks to spill on the camera. Hanging the camera on the back of the chair is just inviting pickpockets to help themselves to your gear. Putting it on the pavement is also a bad idea with the risk of forgetting it or people to step on it. Best regards From: Thomas, Copenhagen, Denmark   Would you talk about extension tubes, please? My camera is an OMD-EM1 mark II. What is their purpose? Do they work with any lens? Is quality loss significant? Is quality loss more if you can use with zoom lenses? Can you recommend a brand? Plus all the questions I do not know enough to ask. Thanks!!!

I’m in the process of buying a new camera and want to buy one with a tilt LCD. But there are different kind of flip and rotating screens and I’m wondering where the advantages of the different kinds are? I’m doing mainly interior and outdoor photography.Thanks! Question from: Melissa from Boston, Massachusetts   Hi Scott & Marco, why is it that documentary photography and street photography work better with wider angle lenses than tele lenses? It feels much easier to get a clean, nondistracting image when I zoom in closer to the subject. Thank you! Question from: Piotre from Krakow, Poland   Should I buy a kit lens bundle as they are often a good value or rather buy the body only and use the extra money for the better lens that I really want? Question from: Frank from Brisbane, Australia   Hi Guys, one questions from Cologne in Germany: If you could look in your crystal ball, would you see 3rd party lens producers like Tamron, Sigma or Tokina to develop lenses for Fuji in the future? I only know about Zeiss and Samyang which are no real serious competitors for Fuji lenses. Thank you, and have a nice X-Mas. Question from: Daniel from Cologne, Germany   I have a question about TETHERING. I’ve got a FujiFilm X-T2, great camera, and I’ve got a 27” retina iMac, so in that respect, tethering at home is no problem. But if I’m shooting portraits outside the home, or doing real estate photography, it’s not practical to bring a desktop computer. I don’t have a laptop, but I do have a WiFi only iPad Air (about 3 years old) which has a lightning connection (pretty sure it’s lightning). Is there a cable, and/or a workflow that will at least give me a preview of my images on the iPad Air, without interfacing with a desktop, laptop or cellular connection? I’m not concerned about making adjustments with Lightroom Mobile, or saving them to the iPad. It’s all about seeing the images larger, and giving the client a sneak peak. Thanks in advance for the advice and love the show! Question from: Brent from Pittsburgh, PA (USA)   Listener reply to Warwick’s question from last week: How confident should I feel about my computer being able to read my Nikon and Fuji raw files in say 20 years time?   Answer from listener Marc: Marco, I have to tell you, that the TIFF format is an ISO standard, so you will get software to read the files even in 100 and more years! I work in the digital archive business for 13 years now!

However, how do rangefinder shooters use graduated or split ND filter? Do they use only screw on type and then compose the scene to be split right down the middle? Thanks! Question from: Garlo in Irvine, California   Hi Scott and Marco, Hi! I have a problem that I am struggling with. I have an Olympus OMD EM10 MK1 and i have noticed that if i take a photo with a lot of contrast the highlights seem to get burnt out if i try and expose for the darks. I am saving files in jpeg format. I also have a Nikon D7000 that seems to cope OK although I do save files in raw with this camera. Is there something i can do in the settings to try and help with this or is it because of the micro 4 3rds sensor on the older EM10? Cheers! Question from: Rob from Dorset, England   Link to the Aurora HDR 2018 software (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings: https://macphun.evyy.net/c/420516/185399/3255?u=https%3A%2F%2Faurorahdr.com   Hi Scott, Hi Marco, thanks for your great show. I always listen to it during my walks ! I've got a question regarding the size of the single autofocus point. In the center of the frame, I can select a focus point which provides "phase detection" and "contrast detection". I can increase the size of this point. Does this mean that these phase and contrast detection methods rely on a scalable number of pixels only, or do they or one of them rely on a physical detector and in this case what is the advantage of increasing the size ? I'm using a fuji x-t2. Thank you and bye/bis bald Question from: Laurence from Rennes, France   This may be a rather simple question with a complex answer, but a friend and I are both considering the switch to Fuji and I know both of you use or have used Fuji cameras. Do you use a RAW developer and subsequent processing software or do you use the out of camera jpegs and no RAW at all with software for minor changes? I'm primarily interested in B&W whereas my friend shoots more color.
