How much of it is copyright, and how much of this is violated? The debates about what is copyright and what is copyleft. With AI-generated images becoming more advanced, what does it mean for artists, digital advertising, and even companies like Google? Will AI-generated content disrupt ad revenue? What happens to creators whose work is used to train these models? In this episode, our host Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte talks about OpenAI's image generator, the shifting landscape of content ownership, and the rise of "ethical AI" as a marketing term. Are we entering an era of "AI washing," much like we saw with cloud and greenwashing? Companies are pushing responsible AI, but how much of it is genuine, and how much is just marketing? Switching gears, we talk about Xiaomi's latest flagship, the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, a phone that bucks the AI trend by doubling down on camera technology. The device features a Leica-powered 200MP camera and comes with a dedicated camera grip and attachments to enhance the photography experience. But in a world where AI is dominating smartphone innovation, is a top-tier camera enough? Would you buy a phone that is ordinary in every other way but has an extraordinary camera? We debate the practicality of such a device—how it fits into real-world usage, whether its hardware is as durable as traditional DSLRs, and if losing or damaging a smartphone with such an advanced camera would be more of a liability than a benefit. We also touch on Bill Gates' recent statement that AI will replace most human jobs—except for biologists and energy researchers. Why these two fields? We break down whether AI is truly incapable of advancing in these areas without human intervention or if Gates' statement oversimplifies the situation. Learn more about your ad choices.

When you collect vintage film cameras, if they don't work, just send it out for a CLA and some technician will take it apart, clean it up, lube what needs lubing, calibrate the shutter and it is ready to go, good as new!  How boring!  If the simplicity of CLAing a film camera is not enough of a challenge for you, perhaps you should consider collecting vintage digital cameras.  Incompatible memory cards, legacy file systems, unsupported USB cables, and batteries which no longer hold a charge are all the rage! Although the era of digital cameras barely exceeds three decades, the earliest days of digital saw a tremendous amount of innovation and strange designs because camera makers were still trying to figure out what and how a digital camera should look and work like. In this episode, the Camerosity crew (minus Anthony) go over this early innovative era of digital camera design and pick out some of the coolest cameras of the era.  Many of these cameras have early sensors which do not stand up to the quality of modern designs, but that's not why we collect them, Joining Paul, Theo, and Mike are returning callers AJ Gentile, Larry Effler, Mark Faulkner, Miles Libak, Pat Casey, Stephen Strangways, and Will Pinkham and we cover a great deal of history regarding the earliest and most important digital cameras like the Kodak DCS-100, Nikon E2Ns, and Minolta RD-175.  We declare two cameras from the late 1990s to be historically significant moments in camera design, on par with that of the Leica and Nikon F. Stephen Strangways shares with us his wide depth of knowledge about camera sensors.  We discuss the differences between CCD and CMOS sensors, why companies made the switch between the two, motivations of Live View, and why DSLRs eventually gave way to digital mirrorless cameras. We discuss the limitations of early CCD sensors, what are hot mirror filters, why we think Nikon missed the mark on mirrorless, plus we cover a great deal of cool digital cameras, some of which have features cameras today don't have, like the Sony Cybershot DSC-F828, Olympus E-100 RS, Panasonic GF1, and the Ricoh G900. In addition, Mike shares his large collection of 17 Pentax Q-series cameras, plus a very strange "camera coffin", a wooden Nikon rangefinder camera that has the guts of a Sony alpha mirrorless inside. As it is officially the holiday season and each of our schedules has gotten increasingly complicated, we do not yet know when the next show will be, or what we will discuss.  Rest assured, that once we know, you'll know.  Be sure to follow us on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, our new BlueSky page, and right here on mikeeckman.com. In This Episode What Exactly is 'Vintage Digital'? / Differences Between Still Video and Digital Cameras Kodak Had the Most to Lose with Digital But Pioneered it Anyway Apple Quicktake 100 / The Kodak DCS-100 Was Used in the Gulf War Did Kodak's Involvement in APS Impact Their Role in Developing Digital Cameras?

Show Notes for Tog Talk – Episode: DSLR vs Mirrorless CamerasIn this episode of Tog Talk, Kelly and Kevin delve into the world of camera evolution, discussing the ever-popular debate: DSLR versus mirrorless cameras. With an autumn chill in the air, they warmly welcome listeners into a candid and humorous conversation that balances technical insight with playful banter.The duo begins by exploring the functional differences between DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Kevin outlines how DSLRs use a traditional mirror system to reflect light through the viewfinder, providing a direct view through the lens. Mirrorless cameras, however, rely on electronic viewfinders (EVF) to preview the image, enabling users to see exposure changes in real time. For professionals and beginners alike, this feature can significantly reduce the need for ‘chimping'—the habit of constantly checking the back of the camera for correct exposure.They discuss the ergonomic and practical benefits of mirrorless cameras, particularly for long shooting sessions, as Kevin shares how switching to lighter Fuji mirrorless cameras transformed his wedding photography experience. Additionally, Kelly reflects on the frustrations of manual exposure adjustments and how mirrorless technology might have saved her time on recent headshots and outdoor group sessions.Listeners will also learn about the impact of mirrorless technology on low-light performance, the expanded focusing capabilities, and the extensive range of high-quality lenses now available. Kevin offers invaluable advice to those new to photography, recommending that beginners start with affordable DSLRs before moving to the more complex mirrorless systems.Through laughs, anecdotes, and practical insights, Kelly and Kevin bring clarity to a complex topic, helping photographers make informed choices about their gear. Tune in for a blend of expertise, relatable experiences, and a dose of nostalgia for DSLRs, as Tog Talk celebrates the art and tech of photography.Photography MasterclassFancy joining the one-year Masterclass program?  The next Photography Masterclass starts in January, there are still a few places left.  Check out the website for more information:https://www.hampshirephotoschool.com/one-year-masterclass/Got a Photography Question?

Mastering pet photography is an art that involves much more than just a camera and a cute subject. Laurie Elmer and Knicki Knowlton of Urban Dog Studio have crafted an engaging podcast episode that guides pet lovers through the magic of utilizing light to create stunning pet portraits. This episode is a goldmine for pet owners looking to immortalize their furry friends in photographs that are not just memorable but emotionally captivating.Light is a crucial element in photography, shaping the mood and atmosphere of every shot. Understanding how to work with different lighting conditions can transform a simple pet photo into a masterpiece. The podcast episode begins by highlighting the significance of light and its impact on photography. It addresses common issues such as the harsh midday glare, and why the soft, warm glow of the golden hour is a photographer's dream.Laurie and Knicki offer practical advice that can be applied using any camera, from smartphones to professional DSLRs. They discuss how the direction and quality of light can drastically change the outcome of a photo. For example, placing a subject under a tree might seem like a good idea for a shade, but the uneven dappled light can create unflattering hot spots. Instead, they suggest positioning subjects in open light with a dappled background to achieve a balanced exposure.The episode is not just about instruction; it's about inspiring listeners to experiment with their pets and cameras. The hosts encourage their audience to step outside and play with natural light, capturing emotions and moments without the safety net of editing software. This approach promotes a deeper understanding of photography and the satisfaction of achieving beautiful results in-camera.This episode on pet photography is more than a tutorial; it's an invitation to view the world through a different light, literally and figuratively. By mastering the use of light, pet owners can produce images that not only showcase the beauty of their pets but also convey the bond and affection they share and a newfound appreciation for the art of pet photography.https://www.urbandogstudio.com/See photo example here:https://www.urbandogstudio.com/lets-bark-about-it-tampa-bay/2wjjvikaqmoaxdlf347r3us5ehb1j2Tampa Bay realtor and Dog Lover Leslie Haas Realty One Group Sunshine https://tampabayhomesforsale.realestate Art for Profit's Sake podcast-Discussions with artists at different stages of their business.

Mirrorless cameras are thinner than DSLRs due to the removal of the mirror mechanism.  The thinner body means the existing DSLR lenses won't focus properly.  The camera companies have changed the mount to ensure that the older lenses won't work - that is without an adapter.  Canon currently charges $130 for their base adapter, but there are third party adapters which can save you some money and work fine as there are no optics, just a way to move the lens further from the sensor and couple them with the camera electronics!  Fred reviews one from Meke!

2023 has certainly come and gone in a flash, meaning it's time once again for us to reflect on new photo offerings in our ninth annual Cameras of the Year episode, now renamed Photo Gear of the Year. We'll be talking with B&H Camera and Lighting Senior Sales Trainer Kevin Rickert. Featured in our discussion are 25 new releases from Canon, FUJIFILM, Leica, Nikon, Panasonic, Ricoh Pentax, Polaroid, and Sony. In addition to insights about each camera on our list, we also examine broader topics, such as manufacturers' attempts to regain market share lost to smart phones through a growing crop of cameras geared toward content creation.  Instant cameras are a popular trend, leading us to diverge from alphabetical order when discussing this growing product category. And with two monochrome models among this year's offerings, we zoom in on the visual differences between pictures shot with these specialty cameras and those made by converting from color files.  For listeners who enjoy a good debate, whet your appetite for the main course as we consider this year's most touted technological advance—the global shutter. Finally, as an antidote to overindulgence that's so common during this time of year, Rickert offers some practical advice about avoiding GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) with the tip “You date your cameras, marry your lenses.” Guest: Kevin Rickert For more information on our guest and the gear he uses, see: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcasts/photography/2023-photo-gear-of-the-year-with-kevin-rickert Stay Connected: B&H Photo Video Website: https://www.bhphotovideo.com B&H Photo Video Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bhphoto B& Photo Video Twitter: https://twitter.com/bhphoto B&H Photo Video YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BandH B&H Event Space YouTube: https://bhpho.to/BHEventSpaceYT B&H Photo Video Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bhphoto B&H Photography Podcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1001107823418353

The integration of AI technologies with Adobe software has set the creative world on its head. To get a read on this hot-button, rapidly evolving field, we tapped two generations of tech wizardry—Scott Kelby, the original Photoshop Guy, and retouching powerhouse Kristina Sherk. We sat down with both of these experts at B&H's 2023 Depth of Field Conference in February 2023. Our first guest is Scott Kelby, the original Photoshop guy, who discusses the good and the bad of AI technology, from how it helps create workflow efficiencies to the potential for costing some photographers a job. Kelby envisions a future comprising high-end pros and serious iPhoneographers. With this in mind, we delve into the growing advantages of capturing images on a mobile device, while also identifying subjects that still require more robust gear. After a break, Kristina Sherk shares details about the powerful AI selection tools integrated into the Classic and Mobile versions of Adobe Lightroom, which are disruptive in a good way. Stay to the end for her story about saving the day for a wedding photographer whose sharp focus was disrupted by a rogue officiant, who stepped in front of the lens just before a couple's first kiss.

Like good acting—and skilled retouching—masterful lighting is an accomplished skill that should remain mostly unseen. This is the takeaway from our conversations with two great lighting whisperers, Canon technical advisor Eric Stoner and Nikon Ambassador Joe McNally. We sat down with both of these experts earlier this year at B&H's 2023 Depth of Field Conference.   Our first guest is Eric Stoner, a Canon technical advisor who specializes in creating portraits with Speedlites and colored gels. He offers insights about the high degree of control these tools provide, describing how adding colored gels boosts creative improvisation and heightens impact. We also discuss the technological advances of the past 20 years, while reflecting on how great photography still hinges on learning the craft and connecting with your subjects.   After a break, Nikon Ambassador Joe McNally discusses his mission to light photographs in a way that provides an unfettered experience for the viewer. In addition, we explore his long and successful career as a working professional, from his formative years as a LIFE magazine staff photographer to the recent exhibition of those very same images in a fine art gallery. Stay to the end to learn about his latest book The Real Deal, which he wrote during COVID, and hear about his busy schedule of international workshops.  Guests: Eric Stoner & Joe McNally For more information on our guests and the gear they use, see: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcasts/photography/lighting-whisperers Above photograph © Joe McNally Stay Connected: Eric Stoner Website: https://www.mystonegallery.net/ Eric Stoner Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericstonerphoto Joe McNally Website: https://joemcnally.com Joe McNally Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joemcnallyphoto Joe McNally Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joemcnallyphoto Joe McNally YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/joemcnallyphoto Joe McNally Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoeMcNallyPhoto Joe McNally Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/joemcnallyphoto

“To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” There is no better role model for this Thomas Edison quote than Steve Sasson, the electrical engineer fresh out of grad school who was hired to work in a Kodak research lab, in 1973. With a passion for scavenging parts and a penchant for invention, he developed the world's first self-contained digital camera just two years after his arrival in the lab. In honor of National Camera Day, we invited Sasson to the podcast for an in-depth discussion about his invention of this revolutionary device. Listen in to hear about the surprising reception Sasson's prototype received from Kodak executives during early demonstrations of its use, the complicated mix of cultural and business factors confronting a company in the throes of innovation, the many years that elapsed before Sasson was allowed to speak publicly about the camera, and much, much more.   In addition to being a storyline worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster, our conversation offers rare insight into the inner workings of a long-established, successful company that knows a lot about the problem but doesn't like the answer. Stay to the end to hear Sasson make a comparison to a groundbreaking technological development in the corporate world today.

Humans and pets have shared a deep bond for centuries, yet our animal companions are now considered more a part of the family than ever. So, it's no surprise that pet photography is a blossoming niche, and a perfect subject for this week's podcast—especially since it's National Pet Month! Above photograph © Nancy Borowick We start by chatting with pet photographer Karen Hoglund, who alerted us to her work in response to Allan's musing about using the hashtag “kittens” to generate traffic on social media. After noting that #kittens only yields a 20 percent bump over #photographer, Hoglund offers advice on the dos and don'ts of posing pets, and picking up on their non-verbal signs of anxiety or stress. After a break, we switch gears from posed pet portraits to learn about Sony Artisan Nancy Borowick's candid editorial-style coverage of the Westminster Dog Show, and her long-term project, “Part of the Pack.” Primarily known for telling intimate stories about people, Nancy explains how an invitation to photograph the dog show helped her process the loss of both her parents to cancer. She talks about the challenges of covering the show's frenetic atmosphere, describing how she maintains focus by seeking out telling details.  As we all agree, pets are truly a gift in our daily lives, and learning how to capture their unique personalities in pictures can only deepen this bond and enrich our experience.

Guest Bios: Karen Hoglund started out as a graphic designer, art-directing photo shoots for ad agencies and commercial clients. After honing her camera skills by photographing children and families, she shifted focus to her true love—dogs and cats. After starting a pet photography business in 2012, she hasn't looked back, working from her home base in Denver, Colorado with a squeaky toy in one hand, a camera in the other, and fur all over her clothes. Nancy Borowick is an internationally renowned photographer, author, teacher, and speaker. A graduate of the International Center of Photography, she is a Sony Artisan of Imagery and a Kickstarter Thought Leader. Working regularly with the New York Times since 2013, Borowick has told intimate stories of people, places, and pets from every corner of the globe.

After a break, we shift gears to Anya Anti, who fills us in on the intricate set design and attentive compositing work behind her whimsical portraits, which seamlessly bridge fantasy and real life. She distinguishes between shooting self-portraits for a more personal approach and posing models as alter egos for more control behind the camera. We also tackle the elephant in the room—artificial intelligence in photographic creation—with Anti weighing in on both the significant ethical issues posed by AI and its positive aspects as incorporated in Adobe's smart selection tools.

Many of you may be wondering what and where are the Galápagos Islands. Or perhaps this is one of the places that is already on your travel bucket list. And some of you just enjoy living vicariously through our travel adventures. If any of these apply to you, pack your bag and join us as we share our journey to the Galapagos. In this episode we discuss what and where the Galapagos islands are, how we got there (including a little travel delay along the way), what a typical day was like when cruising the Galapagos Islands, and what kinds of wildlife we snorkeled with. We let you know what essential items we packed into our bags and what you won't need and we both our favorite things about of the trip. So if the Galapagos Islands are on your bucket list or you're just curious what it would be like to travel there, tune in NOW! Links we mention in this episode: Our camera gear Go Pro Hero 11 Link Olympus TG-6 We booked our trip through Diana Endara at Galapagos Travel Center Follow our travels on Facebook Follow our travels on Instagram here and here Save our travel ideas on Pinterest Music Credit Music by OYStudio from Pixabay Episode transcript (continued on Episode webpage): I'm Scott and I'm Melissa and we are the Sunshine Travelers. Our passion is travel and sharing our experiences with those who share our passion, want to learn more about travel, or even those that just want to live vicariously through our travel experiences. No matter where you fall along that journey, get ready to hear about our first hand experiences as we visit some of the most amazing places on earth. Many of you may be wondering what and where are the Galápagos Islands. Or perhaps this is one of the places that is already on your travel bucket list. And some of you just enjoy living vicariously through our travel adventures. If any of these apply to you, pack your bag and join us as we share our journey to the Galapagos. Scott: We made it! That was the feeling of exhilaration when we finally made it on board the yacht. Melissa: Yeah it was a bit of a bumpy trip trying to get there, but we made it. We started the morning with an early flight from Quito, Ecuador. A member of our travel company picked us up from the hotel and assisted us with the check-in process at the airport Scott: yeah, by the way check the show notes for a link to the travel company, Galapagos Travel Center, that we used. We worked with Diana and It really is worth it to do business with a local company that will handle all of the paperwork and processes for you. Melissa: We can do another episode on Quito and the tours that were arranged for us by the tour company. For this leg of the trip we realized that there was one stop in the coastal city of Guayaquil. Some people were headed to the coast to enjoy their beach vacation, but we would stay on the plane and make the short hop over to the islands. That's when things got a little interesting. Neither of us have been on a flight before that experienced a bird strike. Just as we were about to lift off the ground, a bird flew into our left engine with a loud thud. The pilot immediately put the plane back down on the runway and skidded to a stop. Scott: Amazingly everyone on the plane stayed calm and within a couple of minutes the pilot notified us of what happened. They taxied us back to the gate and we began the process of trying to figure out what was next. I honestly thought that there was no way they would be getting us out of there anytime soon. But within a few hours they had another plane on the ground from Quito and we were off to the Galapagos with just a brief delay so only missing the first excursion of the trip but getting there in time for dinner. Melissa: great! Now what and where are the Galapagos you may ask. It's a chain of approximately 19 islands off the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean right along the Equator. The Galapagos have long been a fascination of people since Charles Darwin's publication of “Voyage of the Beagle” where he was greatly influenced in his theory of evolution. Today the Galapagos are a National Park where visitors can explore the Flora and Fauna of a relatively young island born of volcanic activity that continues today. The islands are known for their fearless wildlife and spectacular diving and snorkeling. SPOILER ALERT: this trip is going to fall into that category of a luxury trip. But when you think about it, you could easily spend this type of money for a week at Disney. You just have to keep everything in perspective. Scott: I was surprised to learn that almost 25,000 people live on the islands. Most in a few larger cities on the four inhabited islands, but still more than I expected. These islanders make their living on tourism and fishing. Melissa: But the real draw of the Galapagos is the wildlife. Giant tortoise that live to be about 150 years old, sea lions, marine iguanas, sea turtles, and penguins just to name a few. These animals have lived such an isolated life that they almost show an interest in the visitors. Scott: So let's start with a little insight with what a typical day looks like when cruising through the Galapagos. We were on a yacht named Camila. She is part of the fleet named Royal Galapagos and they call her the Horizon. She had 8 state rooms with 4 on each floor and then a sun deck with hot tub on the very top level. At 16 passengers, this is a very intimate experience. It had just recently been refurbished and everything was in beautiful condition. Each room had a private balcony, king size bed, and full bathroom. Melissa: You have a common dining area where all meals were served by a fabulous chef and friendly stewardesses. We did an 8 day cruise and each day started with an early breakfast and then your first excursion of the day. Sunlight is from 6 to 6 each day year round because you are on the equator. You want to be out and catch the animals during their most active times of the day (morning and afternoon). Sometimes the first excursion is a hike, some days a tender ride (small boat) they call a Pangea, or a snorkel adventure. The night before they will do a briefing and tell you what to expect and how to dress for the next day's activities. One of our favorite activities was the snorkeling. Scott: the snorkeling was off the charts. Depending on which island you visit the marine life changes. In some places we swam with sea turtles (literally surrounded by sea turtles), some places we swam with penguins, and many others had sea lions. You almost don't notice all of the amazing tropical fish because of the other sea life that would be swimming alongside you. Scott: I do want to take a minute and tell you about the camera gear that I took and what I would recommend. I am an amateur photographer and love nature photography. I have a Nikon D7000 camera and had purchased a 600mm telephoto lens for the trip. Some people had said you won't need such a lens and it will be too heavy to enjoy. I am so glad that I ignored them. Most of the people on the trip put their cameras down and just enjoyed the views after they saw some of the photos I could get vs what they were getting with their own cameras. After the trip we I set up a Google drive where we all shared the photos and videos that we took. As far as underwater videos and pictures, I had taken a GoPro HERO 4 that I've had for many years. With the clear water it made “good” photos and videos, but I decided to upgrade after the trip and am excited to take my new GoPro HERO 10 on our next trip to St John. They have made a ton of improvements in quality and resolution over what is available on the HERO4 version. I'll put some links in the show notes to some of my equipment. I also bought Melissa an Olympus TG-6 camera for use in the water and doing video. The quality on that camera is terrific and will be a great compliment to the GoPro for our in true water photography. Melissa: Now back to the trip. After each excursion you were met on deck with refreshing beverages like iced tea or fresh fruit juice and usually some sort of light snack. They would usually have some sort of lunch prepared followed by a brief downtime. You could relax on the sun deck or most people took a short nap to prepare for the afternoon's activities. Usually if we did a hike in the morning, we snorkeled in the afternoon or vice versa. Every evening started with a briefing of the next day and was followed by an amazing dinner prepared by the chef. He was great at catering for people's preferences and dietary restrictions. It's always so important to notify them of your dietary needs so that they can make sure to have things you will be able to eat. I personally am allergic to shellfish so they needed to know that when planning and preparing the meals. We also had vegan shipmates and he did his best to serve them something unique at each meal too. Scott: a couple of times fishermen brought fresh catch to the boat for the chef to prepare. A true boat to table experience. Scott: after dinner most people would linger in the dining room talking and getting to know each other, but would retire to their cabins and be in bed before 9:30. It is a lot of activity and you are tired by the end of day. Melissa: That's a good point. This is definitely an adventure cruise not a kick back and relax type of cruise. Scott: one of the things we did to get ready for this trip was to read suggested packing lists that others had made

It has taken us 46 episodes of seemingly non stop film camera discussion to finally devote an entire episode to the cameras that in the late 1990s and early 2000s, many photographers thought were a fad.  That's right folks, Camerosity has gone digital!  Before anyone protests and demands their Camerosity Season Pass™ membership be refunded, enough time has passed since those early film-less cameras that the early digital cameras are now vintage themselves. In episode 46 of the Camerosity Podcast, the guys and I go all digital.  With us are callers Andrew Smith, Atabak Taghizadeh, Brian Howard, Greg McCreash, Mark Faulkner, Michael Gossett, Phil Clark, and Stephen Grasso. Anthony and Brian start things off with one of the earliest true digital cameras, the Apple QuickTake.  This 0.3 megapixel monster was first released in 1994 and came in two distinct designs, one created by Kodak and the other by Fuji.  Moving onto the Sony Mavica and it's 3.5" floppy disc storage, the rest of the gang has some familiarity of these cameras, and Anthony reminisces about his large collection of floppies. We continue to traverse the late 90s and early 2000s, going around the room recalling our first digital cameras that really made us realize that cameras which write in 1s and 0s were here to stay.  Mike discusses the differences between CCD and CMOS sensors, we dabble into digital IR photography and a couple Sony models which make disabling the visible light filter extremely simple.  Mark prefers a more difficult way though, by opening up his Panasonic Lumixes and permanently removing the filter. We cover digital mirrorless, and which mounts we all love adapting film lenses to, why some people didn't like EVFs compared to optical viewfinders, Mike heaps praise on the Nikon Z5, and we dabble into some of the more strange digital camera designs like the Pixii and Lytro. This was a loaded episode with a ton of information, so whether or not you're interested in older digital cameras, or are interested to know what a (Zoom) room full of a dozen collectors shoot when we don't feel like dealing with analog emulsion, you definitely do not want to miss this episode! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  We would love to hear from more listeners, especially those who are new to shooting film or collecting cameras.  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are new to shooting and are interested in having an episode dedicated to people new to the hobby, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, and right here on mikeeckman.com.  We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next episode, we plan on going back to the analog realm, but now that the digital Pandora's Box has been opened, will we forever be changed?  The theme of our next episode is "cameras with a strap" meaning those which are permanently in shooting configuration, ready to fire off some exposures at a moment's notice.  What are your favorite cameras of all time, and which are the ones that someone will have to pry from your cold dead fingers, on the day you reach your expiration date!  Be sure to look out for our next show announcement.  Episode 47 will be recorded on Monday, April 17th.  We hope to see you there!

On Episode 45 of the Camerosity Podcast, the guys and I return to a brand specific discussion for everyone's favorite bellows-TLR, 6cm x 4.5cm medium format SLR, 35mm leaf shutter SLR, f/1.5 lens rangefinder, half frame pistol camera making company, Mamiya!  If that seems like a wild range of cameras, you're right!  As makers of pretty much every style of camera conceived, Mamiya has done it all! Joining Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike on this episode is Bill Rogers from mamiyarepair.com who has a literally grocery store size storage room full of spare Mamiya parts acquired from the company before they went bankrupt.  Bill has experience with and can repair nearly every Mamiya camera ever made, even the compact 35mm point and shoot Mamiya U. In addition to Bill's expertise, we also welcome current Mamiya employee Ray Nason.  Ray has many decades of experience working with Mamiya cameras, selling them for many years to professional photographers and consumers alike.  Together, both Bill and Ray offer a 1-2 punch of Massive Mamiya Madness! Along for the ride are returning callers, Robert Rotoloni, Mark Faulkner, Nick Marshall, Cheyenne Morrison, Andrew Smith, Bob St. Cyr, Ira Cohen, Marcy Merrill, and Larry Effler, and first time callers Brian Howard, Mike Ahmadi, and Steven Lederman. With a total of 20 participants, the most we've ever had on an episode of the podcast, we cover a HUGE array of subjects, including some history of the brand, the state of the Japanese optics industry immediately after the war, the origins of the Mamiya-Sekor name, trivia on a rare Canon lens made in the Exakta mount for Mamiya, and how Mamiya was able to use Nikon's bunny ears for the meter coupling on the lenses for the M645 cameras.  Ira shows off his half frame Mamiya Pistol camera, Marcy brings with her a very strange accessory made for the Mamiya U, and Steven Lederman shows off a totally bizarre stereo camera made with Mamiya lenses.

I just yesterday talked about Adobe Final Cut 10.4 and some of the cool 360 editing things you can do with it. I guess Adobe's getting into it pretty, pretty good. And really, with a lot of attrition that's been happening on the apple side. And I think a couple of days ago, I talked about the new MacBook Pros that have come out, that's sort of the only Pro, does it? I don't think a lot of pros are liking some of the stuff that Apple's doing. So to cut to the chase of it, they're moving over to PC stuff. And a lot of that hardware is quite excellent. A lot of those video editing rigs are very capable, outside of like, the macro, what are you gonna do with that? Now? It's, it's not, it's not state of the art at least. And so you know, as fast as the world is moving? It's, I don't know, it's apple's fault to lose it like this. So with a lot of the, with a lot of the, I guess, diminishing effects that came about in Final Cut 10.4 or Final Cut 10.0 when they switched over to I guess what was it? Like the Final Cut Studio system? Do you remember that? And like in 2010, I kind of switched up the final cut x or Final Cut 10. Now we're at 10.4. But when they did that, I think a lot of people were thinking, Oh, well, this is like they made it like iMovie. I don't know if that was true. I used it for a lot of stuff. And I don't know, it's still hard for me to use, I guess. But there's a lot of editors that yes, at that point time decided that for a lot of their professional editing needs, they really couldn't have some tool that was sort of rolling over features like that in a way that wasn't consistent for their needs. So I think at that time, a lot of editing studios tried to switch over to people that were cross-trained in Adobe Premiere. And that's been the editing software that's been in, in professional news, probably pretty directly for like the last decade for a lot of video production needs. So it's kind of interesting, and they've been keeping up with a lot of the changes, I think Adobe has been doing and maybe even a little faster than Final Cut, or some of the other companies like they had 360 editings earlier on, I think they've had, you know better motion graphics and After Effects for a longer amount of time than well, or they're just working at a higher level. And I think it's it's a higher level of proficiency with some of the stuff that they're able to get done. So I've been interested in it. But no, it's interesting to talk about to kind of separate some of the differences. I'm invested in the final cut system. So I'll probably be staying there for just a little rinky-dink YouTube cuts that they make. Who needs Final Cut for that or Adobe Premiere for that matter? But 2:58 you can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. And then you can look at that Bitly Newman under the author's section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism, camping, and cool stuff over there. 3:21 finished up that camping trip I was doing up there. The mountain Creek was there in the Cascades a couple of days ago. What was that like Wednesday, I think it was like maybe Tuesday, Tuesday night, or Wednesday morning, I think that was the supermoon that was coming up that night. If I remember right. And that was pretty cool. It was cool to see the full moon up there. And they always talk about the Super Moon, which is kind of an I don't know, it's a little bit of a misnomer. But it's cool to see the thing to talk about happening every six months or so. It's just kind of the oscillation of a bit of the eccentricity in the orbit of the moon that makes it I think about 25,000 miles closer than its maximum, and then maybe about 25,000 miles further away. And it's distant maximum. But I think it's only like a little bit of a sliver larger than it normally would be. If you notice though, it's a thing I learned way back and I think that they show it in a scene in Apollo 13. But if you put your hand out and you put your thumb up at all times, you're able to cover the entire Full Moon, just with your thumbnail. It's pretty wild, man. You gotta kinda always like visualize the moon has been this really big thing in the sky. And a lot of the time it's, it's just as big as your thumbnail at arm's reach, which is kind of a trip, but it's kind of it was cool to see the super moon that night. It was bright. It was cool to kind of watch around and kind of look I was illuminating the forest in the trees in the mountains and stuff around me, that was kind of nice to see. The cold that night though, man, I tell you so have a 15-degree sleeping bag. And that's great. 15 degrees is fine. But envisioning degrees is more than adequate for most circumstances that I ended up being in during the summertime. When it was done, I was just not too big of concern about how cold it gets. But when it says 15 degrees, it means you're going to be comfortable down to somewhere around 35 degrees, but anywhere under 30 degrees is a pretty uncomfortable experience, I think it means you're going to stay alive until it's about 15 degrees. So if it were me again, buying something for maybe I don't know, a more heavy three-season camping experience most of the time, probably a lot of the nights out that I do. Even though I like to go at all times a year, it seems like the majority of nights I go out are during the summer months or you know during like pretty fair weather seasons. But if I were going to buy again, which I'm going to try and get like a two or three sleeping bag system going, if I was going to buy again, I'd probably get a zero degree or maybe a negative 15 degree. And I could use the warm because man, what I noticed is even if it was just a little bit down to what it would have been probably maybe 10 or 29 or something like that it was you know, a bit below freezing. Who knows how cold it was, it was only like an elevation of 2500 feet and it was a canyon. I thought it was a clear night, but I thought it would be relatively sheltered. And yeah, it was a lot of ice on my window when I woke up. And it was a cold cold night to sit through too. So So yeah, that 15-degree bag was just holding up out there. But yeah, if I was gonna go again, I think they have like a zero-degree bag. And then down below that, they had like a negative 15. And like maybe like a negative 30-degree bag, negative 30 sounds like a real warm, like down back. So I think mine's a synthetic bag. They talk about this sometimes where there are differences in the thermal insulation qualities of the material that your sleeping bag is made out of. And I think that the for it was an improvement, you know, above what and whatever cotton we were using for a while they were using wool stuff, which was pretty smart that that works well to be an insulating material. And it doesn't. Alright, that works well with moisture and stuff and all the other things we know about. Merino wool is cool. Everybody knows about that kind of stuff but we had like, you know, those terrible big cotton sleeping bags way back. Those arrived and I don't know if they were even that insulating. Then they switched over to those synthetic materials, which are probably all oil-based Does that sound right? Like petroleum-based like plastic products that were made out of synthetics, I think that's how they spin up a lot of those. This 8:05 bladder ledges synthetic types of materials that they're making these nylons out of. So I think that was how a lot of this, this synthetic stuff had been made. But really, I think what they talk about being the superior insulator is down. And that's what I'd hoped to try and find as another zero-degree or negative 15-degree sleeping bag would be a negative 15-degree down bag, which is normally a bit more expensive. You know, when you're looking around at the price points for these different sleeping bags, if you're trying to get into some colder weather camping stuff, where you're gonna find is that those name brand or you know, don't even name brand necessarily, but just a bespoke manufacturer for quality, technical outdoors product is going to be very expensive. And so that's where you get to find out, you know, three 399 for a sleeping bag 299-490-9699 I've seen like a lot of pretty expensive prices out there. I think MIMO makes some bags that are looking pretty cool that I've seen recommended a few times. I've heard of big agness they made 10s most of the time though, right? Acting company, aren't they? Yeah, the stone glacier is one that I keep hearing kind of pop up here and there now for some sense Marmot I think has bags. Alright guys, is you know, a retailer of recreational equipment they're closed right now I don't even know if you get an order from anyone like that, but they have some bags. I think that's where my synthetic bag was from, that I've been using for the last I don't know seven years or so. So that's it's been fine. But I also tested out the sleeping mat I got I got a new Thermarest sleeping mat. No big news. It's pretty exciting. guys stay tuned. It's yeah It's a larger sleeping mat than I had before but it's a coated one with I think it's kind of like ballistic nylon but it's that nylon coating over it so it's not just the rubber mat at the base of it so you can throw it on the ground or the bathrooms semi abrasive materials that it would be outside and it's working great I think it's about one inch thick or so it's about 25 inches wide at the shoulder point and it's long enough to fit my whole body which is probably the one for me so yeah I got a solid camp man I think for the last like three years I've been sleeping on one that goes flat about four hours after you start sleeping so that's kind of nice to swap out I don't know why I put up with it for so long really should do that. Sleep is like one of the best things you can get you know if you can figure out just like a couple easy things to take care of when you're out camping or out in the woods and stuff it's probably sleep I mean that's like the thing that takes in and it's frustrating because when like even this last one I'm talking about didn't sleep very well way too cold part of it you know, no shelter enough stuff that was kind of comfortable but really as it is yeah, it's like I need to I need to figure out a couple other extra things to kind of throw in there but yeah, there's just a couple things you can figure out when you're going camping like how to stay warm or how to be comfortable when you do go or like when you're asleep and it's like one of the most important and most effective things you can do to kind of improve the way that a trip goes because like yeah it can be like it can be brutal the next day if you don't get any sleep the night before which is probably the first half dozen camping trips of the year like you know this first half dozen or so overnight to the year I'm just always kind of groggy and like oh what I have to get up right now which is sort out was Wednesday morning when I woke up I popped up and I think it was probably about 5am or so that I that I got up I think it was just about first light the sun had come up yeah but there's a little bit of light up in the sky and the stars were kind of washed out by the blue sky. So I have to up and the fire was out I think from the night before like I was mentioning how those the sticks had worn out and coals and started burning down even I think by the time I was near the end of the last podcast I hopped out and the back windows were clear there wasn't any frost on it but the front window the windshield was ice over pretty hard I mean it looked like it was you know like coated or water and then froze over solid so it wasn't even just kind of like a fluffy bitter white frost or something that had built up on it through the fog. It just looks like a hard coating of just an ice sheet over the windshield. Great. I don't have an ice scraper of the whiskey I was thinking tonight it's a man who needs an ice scraper I'm taking a sip of coffee 12:58 so yeah, I don't know I grabbed a box. I think it was a piece of cardboard out of the back that I could kind of flex around a bit through that over the windshield tried to run the truck for a bit try to warm it up and took a while to but yeah scraped off some ice scraped off a hole big enough to kind of get started on the drive and then prep to take off but yeah take some photos and stuff around the campsite for a bit first in the morning nice draw in the valley like I was talking about that goes up to that ridge point that you can kind of see off in the distance and I think I could see like the fire from the smoke or the smoke from the fire of the neighboring campers over there. I don't know if I'd mentioned it well Yeah, I did in the last one. They were their kind of doing Brody's out the on the road around sunset. I think I got a little clip of it on video but yeah, it's like four or five of them. And this kind of beater. In the late 90s, four-by-four trucks spin out on dirt roads. So looks fine. I don't know. But they were I think getting the fire going and stuff in the morning too or whatever they had gone from the night before. You can see a plume of it coming up from that area they would have been camping in over by the creek bed downhill. And yeah, it was cool. I took some photos and stuff that morning, walked around kind of cleaned up the camp a little bit but the fire stuff out and jumped in the truck, had that little hole in the ice to see through, and then yeah popped on a podcast and cruised down the road. And so what I was trying to do was take off down to a couple of other spots along the creek while it was still morning and then head down ultimately to the area where the lake started to build up and so it kind of how it works is like it kind of flows down the creek and then there's a dam a point ultimately and then back right behind the dam is a reservoir where that Greek has kind of built up and I guess now is yeah body of water out there. So drove down ways and took some photographs. of the Creek and the morning light and some of the water and stuff coming through a really like that kind of affected the sort of early spring kind of fresh snow melt mountain Creek stuff that just sort of looks really crisp and forested and natural and then it came down a ways further to a bridge that kind of cuts across the span of the creek as it starts to sort of widen out into the reservoir area and it looks like you know a big stretch of calm water out on the edge of the bridge where I think two different groups that were doing some fishing in the morning and yeah seems like people are still out it was a busy area up there is still still definitely pretty fully populated set of people you know even during this lockdown period there's a bunch of people out there hanging out and fishing I think it was two different different groups to maybe they were they were all kind of connected but yeah they were they're out there with a couple lines over the bridge and they were picking up a couple things that thing so I saw a lady that was pulling up and a little a little blue kayak to the ramp on the first day and on her What is that thing you know when you you run it through the gilling you got the fish and stuff anyway she pulled up with like gardens like four or five trout or something on her on her inner guy I know that's where it leave it I guess but she pulled up with four or five trout so I figured the guys these guys were doing a little bit of trout fishing out there. Which sounds fun. It's a nice clear crisp morning and stuff like I was saying so yeah, it sounds like it'd be nice to be out there for a couple of hours doing sufficient, and yeah look like they were up to where they were getting a couple of things. Let's go to a sauna osprey that took off I think over the lake area just at that time and would kind of like pull up at certain spots over the water kind of back flap to hold in the same spot and look underwater and see if there's something I didn't see enough or I didn't see a prime opportunity and then we're going to swoop off and then take off to a different section of the lake, then do it again. So watch that about three or four times and try to take a couple of pictures of the area which are nice I like the photographs that I got that morning it's good to get a nice look at it, you know, a lot of the time that the photographs look a lot better when you just select the right time of day to be somewhere which you know is obvious but just the types of colors and the types of saturation and dynamics that you get in the look of a pretty simple you know, set of trees and water, it just comes off a lot better when it's it's just the right type of light. It's amazing to kind of see what differences it makes when it's a cloudy day or a sunny day or a morning or an evening, or midday. 17:44 It seems like the dynamics of the light change so much that you could get like a different look in the photo, which is always kind of interesting to pay attention to and sort of seeing how that goes what changes about it, and sort of how that affects the photographs that you're making. I mean even now that you know some cool intimidate, it's kind of cool to figure out how it works for you or how it works or what I'm trying to do is how to figure out how it works for my photographs and what I've tried to do which is nice. It was cool going out there and climbing around the creeks and stuff in the morning and taking a cup of photos and water and osprey and going over to the Lake area that's trying to work on similar stuff to what I've done before but kind of that mirror look of that calm water as it spreads across the lake in the morning. And on the reflection of the bright blue, kind of pre-sunlit sky. How is it you know like before the sun is actually up over the horizon, there's not a lot of intensity so it's just kind of a softer blue glow and a lot of ways and then there's still enough illumination that you can see the greens and the trees and sort of the soft calm water in the morning before it gets kind of agitated through the rest of the day? So nice kind of peaceful looks to the photos and sort of the natural stuff that I like to go kind of capture you know ultimately though, there's some nice stuff up there and I was like happy to kind of photograph some of the some of what I was looking for. But I was also frustrated in the area too. I think there was a there's little more choked-off than what I normally like. Like there wasn't as many opportunities as I had hoped for I had to try and utilize the ones that I found there weren't as many opportunities as I had hoped for kind of an opened up wide scene that you could set up a landscape photo and there weren't a lot of elements to work with it was just sort of like some rolling hills off to a Green Hill. So sometimes I'm trying to find some stuff that's a little bit more dynamic and it looks more than that. But it was fun though, even as it is anyway. Though I'm trying to I think maybe like I was mentioning last when I got stuck and turned around but the snow and I didn't want to deal with any of that right now. But in the next weeks If I want to get up to Mount Jefferson or Mount Washington or a couple of these other wilderness areas that have a few kinds of visual landmarks that would be worth taking an observation of.

I liked a lot of the Nikon stuff, but I also noticed I liked the Nikon stuff, I'll leave it at that. I just noticed that sometimes some of the accessory equipment outside of the body that you might buy a bit of the lens are expensive, or they're a little more expensive than maybe some of the commensurate lenses that might be available over in canon. I remember back in college someone was mentioning to me that they were going to switch from Nikon over to canon because the canon was a bigger company. I don't know if this is a reason or not. It was interesting logic though, to kind of think through at the time but that canon was a larger company selling more lenses making more cameras making more equipment. And so they had more resources, more staff, more designers working on cameras, building cameras, and doing research and development to kind of bring that forward. And I think even maybe now that's still perhaps true if you look at some of the technologies in Nikon versus canon like we were just kind of to take a base idea of it though I love Nikon stuff a lot if you were to take like the D five I think that's a 20-megapixel sensor. Whereas if you were to look at the newer Nikon or Canon five D Mark four that's I think like 3136 I don't know if it's out there in the third maybe I think it's a 30-megapixel camera. And I think perhaps the five D Mark three is a 23-megapixel camera. So it was interesting just kind of noticing a couple of those things now I understand that there are benefits to the lower megapixel rating for some of the low light performance that you get a high ISS and I think that's maybe sometimes where Nikon performs well but then there's also Sony who's producing 42-megapixel cameras and they're doing incredible things in low light but also even better stuff with a seven s which I think is the version of the camera that's specifically around some of the higher end video features. And I think it's a 12-megapixel camera that does incredible stuff and low light like almost like you know 100,000 so you can get amazing low light images and low light video. So it's interesting how that kind of sensor technology works. But all that being said it's just interesting that for a long time even way back in history like to the beginning of the digital SLR I think canon was way ahead and what they are producing as far as their sensors go and what they're able to produce like megapixels or in fidelity have an image I think they had a what was the first one I think Nikon did not have a full-frame digital SLR and tell the Nikon d3 came out which was a fantastic camera and I had that one also as a used camera that about later loved the d3 but it was interesting that they yeah like they didn't have a full-frame DSLR camera option until 2007 I think when that came out, whereas, on the Canon side, I think that the EOS one D The one DS is that right? I think it was the DS was the first full frame camera produced by Canon and that was way back and I think that was still like around eight megapixels or maybe 10 megapixels for the mark two and then they had some technology that was just far more advanced for the time 2000 to 2003 2004 than what canon had gone or is before when Nikon it you know what I mean right? So anyway that fast forwards to me in the fall of 2018 I'm looking around for another camera purchased because I was going to be moving I was going to be taking a job where I was I was going to be working every day doing family portrait photography and a lot of like wedding photography stuff to where I needed it. And on the memory card system that would be in the camera was like on the Sony side as I had mentioned before. There were some limitations to it and one of the other limitations was that it only accepted SD cards which right now I'm kind of learning are fine you know you can use an SD card for just about anything but I also liked the opportunity or the option to have a compact flash card or maybe it's a USM USM USD. That's $1 I'm not sure but with the compact flash card system that goes in, I always felt that was like a little bit more professional when you put that in. And I just wanted more memory options so with I think the five D Mark three that I decided to pick up use that had the Compact Flash slot and also had the SD card slot and you could record to NADP video and you could take photographs you could do like high frame rate burst series for photographs and it's just seemed like it was a great workhorse camera that the five D series and I think that's what people have been talking about. Even since like the five D Mark two when they announced the HD video recording features on DSLRs so I think that when even before that, you know it was just it was one of the top-use cameras for wedding photographers and stuff so for me, I was trying to find something that would be like a good workhorse camera where I could always kind of count on it and the battery system and the memory card and the lens arrangement that would be available to me that I could really just be hammering away on frames and then be bringing those in editing them and then kind of delivering them to clients in a pretty fast manner. So I thought that would be something that would help me out and I think I was right I think was a good choice though there are fantastic options like the ACE seven Mark three, or the seven three and then a seven are three. I think both of those have kind of solved a lot of those issues that I've been talking about where they've adjusted the battery system and they've adjusted the just some of the blackout problems that I was talking about before but I was happy to switch over to the Canon side of it. I think also the reason I was talking about two words Yeah, no blackout, and I liked being able to use the through-the-lens viewfinder of the SLR as opposed to the digital SLR or just looking at it on the screen. So I don't know if all those reasons were kind of why I wanted to get back to the DSLR system instead of the interchangeable lens camera system. But it was great so so back I think in September I was looking around a lot I sold the seminar off and then I was trying to hunt around for options for me to get a well-priced canon five D Mark three and then I also bought one from Marina so she had a five D Mark three body and then we could kind of share lenses for two so I wanted to get up and running. And I wanted to talk about like some of the lens stuff that I was interested in too It's interesting kind of switching over to Ken and now just kind of seeing you know what's available and what's available in the US market which for me and you know someone that doesn't want to spend a ton of stuff, getting a pretty high-level professional level set of photography equipment, it's interesting to kind of comb around through the US market and figure out good pieces to use. I think almost every camera system I've ever had it's been something that I've made a purchase of off of the US marketplace in some manner you know, I haven't bought a new film camera that's for sure. And so it was interesting kind of trying to figure that out a little bit and I've always had really good luck with that I hear some bad stories out there but it seems like a lot of photographers take pretty good care of their camera equipment in a way that at least seems quite usable for me so what I ended up with it at some point and I save a ton of money doing it too and I don't have to deal with the heavy depreciation because like by the time I I end up wanting to sell it hasn't moved that much in the marketplace. A lot of the time you know it only ends up being like a few $100 to purchase that camera because when you sell it again you get a lot of that money back and as opposed to well I'll get into that story a second but like when I purchased it that camera was quite new. And it had appreciated a lot and value from the new price the new sticker price from the in the store in the camera store price to what it was when I bought it used so so it was a fantastic deal to kind of pick it up and find like a good one out there. So so yeah back in. Was it back in September I was hunting around in Oregon trying to find a good five D Mark three body so I was trying to debate a little bit I was looking around on eBay for five D Mark threes that would be available. And I was looking around on ke H and those are two locations that I kind of made purchases from before when I was making a purchase online. I like eBay and I sold a bunch of stuff on eBay. I sold myself a seminar on eBay. I sold my d3 when I had made a purchase the d3 I think from K h and I sold that d3 on eBay and I made my money back it was great it worked pretty well. But when I was looking around I didn't find the price point that I wanted for the five D Mark three line I think those are all running around 18 or 1900 bucks for the five D Mark three bodies that are being sold but I'm sure I don't I seem to like the market was a little lower than that at the time and then when I looked on kth it was sort of the same story where once we were in bargain condition you know where they'd been pretty beaten up or probably had been you know, someone's wedding photography camera where it really hammered out 100,000 or 200,000 frames already had a few seasons of weddings over the last couple of years and the person was trying to offload that gear and then you know an upgrade to their five-year mark for their one dx or something like that. So I kind of wanted to stay away from those in a way I'm sure they would have been functioning cameras and the way that they had been reported but there's really no way to like get an observation of the camera and its function in your hand while you have it to see that it's really like as clean or as in good condition as you'd want it to be for something that you're going to spend 18 $100 for when I was buying used cameras it was sub $1,000 purchases so it's like well you know, it's got a couple of scuffs on it or something like that, but they were always quite nice in their physical condition. So what I ended up deciding to do was instead of purchasing on eBay or kth what I decided to do was try and check out the local marketplaces so I went on Craigslist to look at the classified listings that were there in you know, photo and video equipment for sale listing in my area. And I kind of scoured across Oregon to find you know a couple of good pieces so I was trying to look in the Portland area. I was looking over in the bend area I was looking in the Eugene area and I was also looking up into like the Seattle and Tacoma area as well because I thought well you know if I need to then I'll drive up little ways that I might save hundreds of dollars trying to purchase a nice camera system so I thought that might be a good idea. And then in addition to Craigslist, I was also getting into the Facebook marketplace where I was selling a ton of mag my stuff from a house when I was trying to set up this move over here to Maui. So I was looking around at that I was saying well maybe I can check out and see if there's camera equipment that is also listed there too. And that worked out well I was pretty impressed with it. So for the camera bodies, I found two canon five mark three bodies one of them I found over I'm banned for $1,000 flat which is an incredible deal I think I think I got that brand on that one. It had been used I think for just like a single project that someone had I think they did to have a business or they're paid to do it so they made a purchase of a five-day Mark three and then they shot like a series of web instruction like instructional videos for YouTube for a company that had purchased it and then they hadn't used that equipment in a while since then. So they were going to sell that camera off and get some of their money back. So I got the camera for $1,000 even which was fantastic it barely even had like rub marks on it on the base of it you know like when you look at the camera body physically, the rubber was in fantastic shape. And the base plate like where the tripod would go I think was the only area where there's a little bit of a scuff but it was fantastic. It was cool that it worked out so well for me so I made a purchase of that camera for 1000. Then I was looking around and I found another one up in the Portland area that a real estate agent had bought to take photographs of their property and then I think they'd found out that they didn't want a five-day Mark three but they wanted a Sony camera and so they made a purchase of a Sony camera just a few months after that. And then to make up the cost of that purchase they wanted to sell off the Canon five D Mark three that they had and so I saw I got the box too which is interesting. I got the box for the five D Mark three and had the receipt from the camera store that they bought it for it was you know 20 $600 when they bought it maybe 12 months ago or 11 months ago and I looked at the shutter count of it. There are maybe 1900 pictures that have been taken on the camera body when I purchased it it was almost like a brand-new camera. I think it was put 1000 frames on a day at the job that I had so 34:22 yeah, it was I've already broken it in quite a bit more than it had been when I purchased it so it was cool getting such a new camera for such a low price. So saving $1,000 trying to put it put the these this package of equipment together was excellent and I was really happy to do that. And that was one thing I noticed about the Canon US market is there's just and this is sort of back to that thing. It's a bigger company and they're selling more cameras out there. So it was cool that there's just so much used gear out in the market where as opposed to you know if I was looking for a D 100 on the Nikon side or a D four or something like that, it would be pretty hard to find those bodies I guess in that condition or you know in that way and then for that price it seemed like and same goes for like a Canon one dx that I was trying to find that on the US market those were held by professionals or sports photographers and those bodies were really and still very expensive when I was looking around for them but it seemed like there were so many people that were interested in doing wedding photography or doing photography as a hobby that they would kind of lean into the higher price range and pick up a five D Mark three and then find out why maybe I don't want it or maybe I want to switch over to a five D Mark for now. And so they were ditching those and offloading this for way lower prices so it was excellent time to kind of come in pick those cameras up and and kind of start getting set up but the other thing I noticed is that Okay, so now we have the five D bodies now we're going to need lenses to work on these so what I was looking for was the the USM what was it the the 24 to 70 f two eight lenses that were for like the professional full frame cameras and I was fortunate to find those again on the Facebook marketplace I think I found one in the Eugene area and I got a USM 124 to 70 which was a great price and then I also found a USM to 24 to 70 that had been used more I definitely could tell that it had been used more this even though it was a newer version lens that it definitely had I think some more where I and that's that's probably the lens that though still works great still has great optical clarity but it's probably the one that seems the most tired when I'm using it sometimes so it's interesting sometimes but but I'm sure I probably put a ton of work on it to just kind of racking it back and forth trying to get all these different photographs I was trying to shoot so i don't know i lenses don't last forever and they're mechanical pieces but but these are really well built you know these these professional hourglass systems are really sturdy and well built and I was really impressed with how they were working so I had a great time using it and I didn't really seem to run into any problems while I was trying to produce produce photographs with it but I found yeah I found one of them one of the lenses in the Eugene area and then I found another one up in Portland and so I drove up to pick that lens up and then add you know add to five D Mark threes and 224 to 70 f two eight lenses to throw on there to do a bunch of the family portrait stuff and a bunch of the you know kind of lifestyle images that I was trying to do so it was a great starting setup for me to kind of get and then move out from and so I had been working with that for a couple months and I've been trying to kind of expand from that since then. So the stuff that I'm looking for now well so I started looking into like some things for like real estate photography and one of the things that are always required for that stuff is is like a really wide angle lens. So when I was looking around with the company that I was working with they were looking for images between 17 millimeters full frame and 20 millimeters on a full-frame camera and so I went ahead and I purchased the 17 to 40-millimeter f four lenses it was quite inexpensive I mean you know, again coming from like the Nikon so what I thought like wow, that's gonna be more than $1,000 to pick up a lens for it was a low price I think was about $520 to buy a new 17 to 40 millimeter 38:37 the lens that was like that Yeah, the f4 that I was talking about. So I picked that one up to do some of the real estate photography and that amortize pretty quickly to get into it to use that for real estate jobs. It kind of paid for itself just in a couple of jobs alone without the cameras themselves and the 24 to 70 sort of paid for themselves by hammering out a bunch of family portrait sessions with them. So both of those things kind of worked out pretty well but in addition to that what I'm looking for is like the 50-millimeter f one four lenses I was looking at that too and I'm looking at those new because and this is what I'm saying is it's just it seems like Canon lens prices are sort of dropping down a bit maybe there are newer lenses and I know there's you know the there are way higher end lenses but the 50-millimeter f one for kind of lower end lens perhaps is I think 299 which is super cheap I guess that's what I paid for 35-millimeter dx lens on my old camera system, you know on the Nikon stuff so so I was I think what was it like that? The 28-millimeter f two lenses I had for my Sony camera were like 450 bucks when I bought it used right? So it was awesome to find that 50-millimeter f one four for 299. And then in addition to that, for other portrait stuff, if I wanted to do it, I could pick up an eight 85 millimeter f one eight for 299 also, and I was like, wow, these are way more reasonable price ranges than what I thought so it really for not that much, you could probably put together a full range of prime lenses that I would want to use. And I could put together a full range of zoom lenses that I wanted to use that were all kind of higher-end glass, that that would be great for, you know, professional staff, or the lifestyle stuff or the, you know, whatever kind of photography stuff I wanted to expand into. And then on top of that, I was looking at the 40:34 dough, I would love an F to eight, I was looking at the zoom lenses, and one thing I've kind of learned from this job that I was working with is when you're working with compression, and like when you're working like with zoom, and you're using the compression of the lens pass, you know, 70 millimeters like into the 80 millimeters or 100 millimeters or out to 200 f two A is soft. And a lot of times especially if you're taking pictures of a couple of people together and you're not trying to just rack right into to focus in on an eye and even when you're taking a picture a portrait of someone, you have to kind of crank it up to f4 f5 to get a depth of field that's thick enough to get their, their nose, their eyes in their ear in focus in the way that you'd need to. And it seems like well, you know, like, love the super shallow depth of field, but it seems like you want to get the person in focus, so you got to get a few parts of them and focus. Remember taking self-portraits, you know, like I hold the camera out in front of me with the Canon 50 millimeter, one eight, and try and take a picture of Marina and me somewhere and I remember Marina would be just on the plane in front of me, you know because we're trying to stand right next to each other. And maybe I would be in focus. But then Marina, just one or two inches in front of my nose would be completely out of focus, it would look just like a super blurry kind of washed area because the depth of field was so shallow. That's where I was trying to, you know, kind of finally learning like, Oh, yeah, okay, so maybe f1 eight isn't absolutely what you have to have for every photograph that you take or f1 for whatever it might be. So I was kind of finding that part out where Okay, well I'm gonna have to rack this out to like f5 or f8. Anyway, to get a sharp photograph of the thing that I'm trying to get an image of. So I have kind of rounded out that I'm going to be fine for a lot of the landscape photography that I'm interested in doing, I'm going to be fine kind of jumping into lenses that are around that f4 line. So I was looking at the USM 70 to 200 f4 lens that they have. And so I think it's, I think that the two eight, the f2 eight lenses that's 70 to 200 is like around 1500 bucks. But then the f4 is about 600 bucks, I think it's like 599 to pick up a 70 to 200 USM lens. Now it doesn't have the image stabilization on Nikon, they call it vibration reduction is that right? But it doesn't have image stabilization. And I think it is probably lacking some other additional features because I know there are two versions after that, that escalate in price quite a bit. But if you're looking for that older one, it's still available on Amazon for 599, which is a great price. If you want to get a 70 to 200 I think that was cool. And there are a lot of things you could do with it. Again, like I was saying with the compression, if you're going out to 225 millimeters and you're shooting it at four, that's going to give you a nice bokeh in the background. And you're going to get the person in focus if you need to if you're shooting a portrait and if you're shooting some kind of landscape or wildlife scene, you're going to be able to do a lot with that too. You're just gonna have a lot of flexibility in what you're able to do I love fast lenses, I'd like to always push for you to wait or have 1.2 or something like that. But I'm loving the fact that there's an opportunity for me to get a whole range of focal lengths as I'm trying to transition over into new gear for a much much lower price than what I was expecting so I think that's pretty cool I've been pretty happy with this transition over into canon equipment so far. And it's been interesting you know the thing that I'm I'm 44:19 thanks a lot for checking out this episode of The Billy Newman photo 44:22 podcast.

This is another crossover episode - it's an interview Bart Busschots did with me for his Let's Talk Photography podcast at [lets-talk.ie/...](https://lets-talk.ie/) about the conversion I made ages ago to a mirrorless camera. He asked me on because it looks like DSLRs are winding down and he's contemplating making the jump soon. It's a fun conversation where I also confess that I've lost the touch of editing RAW photos but I'm still very glad I brought my Olympus E-M5 Mark III to Iceland.

In Episode 06 of The Washed Process, Carter + Kenny talk with photographer, runner, and author Joe Greer, while sharing a delicious cup of coffee together from Super Thing Coffee Roasters based out of Austin, Texas. Joe walks us through his Chemex recipe to start the show. Joe shares his journey and process of being captivated by the possibility of photography while studying theology in Spokane, Wa. He invites us into the process of his early days shooting on the iPhone, learning his way around DSLRs, and falling in love with film photography. Additionally, we talk about the mixed gratitude and danger of his relationship with his early Instagram days, how different thematic elements come alive through photographing on the street, what it means to make meaningful work as a person of faith while not overspiritualizing it, and how our life experiences impact what we make and gravitate toward.

On this week's episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we continue our coverage of the 2022 OPTIC Conference with two highly invigorating segments about exploring the world after dark. Our first guest is Susan Magnano, who specializes in luminescent night painted portraits. Our chat is revealing on many levels, from the balance of careful orchestration and randomness inherent in her portraits to a mention of the OM Systems OM1 as Magnano's newest secret weapon. After delving into her playful yet powerful arsenal of lighting tools, we gain insight into her multifaceted career—from beginning at a local newspaper to her currently thriving wedding photography business, and her upcoming schedule of intensive photo workshops. After a break, we welcome Sigma Ambassador Jack Fusco to discuss his unique blend of astrophotography with idyllic nocturnal landscapes. During our conversation, Fusco distinguishes astro work from deep sky photography, weighs the differences between DSLRs, the latest in mirrorless cameras, and even mobile phones such as Google's Pixel 6 Pro. In addition to elaborating on his favorite Sigma lenses for nocturnal imaging, Fusco provides insights about advanced accessories such as star trackers, all the while offering encouragement to anyone seeking to embark on a new adventure chasing the stars. Please join us for these otherworldly conversations about photography at night.  Guests: Susan Magnano and Jack Fusco Photograph © Susan Magnano For more information on our guests and the gear they use, see: www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcasts

Why does my iPhone take better photos than my REAL camera? It's a question I see often in the Beginner Photography Podcast FB community, and the answer is Computational Photography. Computational photography helps give the small cell phone camera sensors a huge boost in shooting in low light and high dynamic light scenes. So why hasn't computational photography came to DSLRs, Mirrorless, and other Professional grade cameras? Thats what we explore today! Resources:46 Creative Photo Ideas - Free eBookJoin The Beginner Photography Podcast Facebook CommunitySign up for your free CloudSpot account to deliver beautiful images galleries todayFree Lightroom Presets!

EP 71:  After working exclusively with DSLRs for the past decade, I've finally accommodated mirrorless camera bodies in my workflow.  Even though I may be late to the game on this, I'm providing my first impressions on the features I like and don't like in this new system.  Support the show

It has been a hope of ours for some time to speak with photographer Stanley Greenberg and, considering he's made three books in the past three years, there is a lot to talk about. Greenberg is known for his large-scale series on subjects like the New York City reservoir and water systems, on giant particle accelerators, telescopes, and dams. His recent projects, however, are an interesting blend of urban exploration and 19th-Century history. We speak briefly about his 2019 book, CODEX New York,  and the typologies he identified walking the whole of Manhattan, but we concentrate our conversation on his work, Springs and Wells - Manhattan and the Bronx,  and after a break, we discuss his latest book Olmsted Trees.    Greenberg, who started his professional life working in city government, is a Guggenheim fellow and no stranger to prestigious grants and commissions. He's also no stranger to libraries and the research that informs his work. It was during a research visit to the New York Historical Society that he came across a book written and photographed primarily in the 1890s. The Springs and Wells of Manhattan and the Bronx (1938) is a survey made by James Reuel Smith, who located, described, and photographed hundreds of water sources throughout New York City, often traveling by bicycle. Greenberg commented: “My first response was that this had to have been done by a crazy person. [But] five minutes later, I knew I was going to map out all of his sites and photograph what was there now.”  And this is what he did, often also by bicycle. His 2021 book blends the work of Smith with his own contemporary photos from the same locations.   In the second half of the podcast, we discuss the project Olmsted Trees, which Greenberg photographed with a Hasselblad medium format digital camera after using DSLRs for CODEX and Springs and Wells and 4x5 film cameras in previous work. For this series, he photographed the oldest trees of the great public parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. These images are a study in black-and-white, in texture and form, almost portraits, that ask you to soak up the power of the trees themselves and consider the genius of the parks' design. Join us for this enjoyable conversation and find more of Greenberg's work here.   Guest: Stanley Greenberg   Above photograph © James Reuel Smith.
