Podcast appearances and mentions of marco larousse

Ein Bild sagt mehr als tausend Worte. Zumindest kann es das – wenn es gut fotografiert ist, sagt Marco Larousse von der laif foundation. Er organisiert den Fotowettbewerb "Jugend fotografiert Deutschland”. In dem Wettbewerb können Jugendliche in Kleingruppen ihre eigenen Fotostorys erarbeiten. Was das heißt und worauf es dabei ankommt, erzählt der Jugendreporter Leon im Podcast.

In dieser Folge blicke ich mit Thomas B. Jones und Marco Larousse auf die Reise des GATE7-Podcasts durch 400 Episoden – und verrate, warum ich eine Kreativpause zur Neuausrichtung und Weiterentwicklung des Projekts einlegen werde.

On this PPN Camera and Inspiration episode, Marco interviewed a photographer, professor of photography, former gallery owner, and consultant for the creative industry, Thomas Werner.  Thomas is also the author of the book. “The Business of Fine Art Photography”.    This show is sponsored by MPB.com: www.MPB.com   Inspirational Photographer of the Month: Thomas picked Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf. From Erin Olaf's biography: “Erwin Olaf is an internationally exhibiting artist whose diverse practice centers around society's marginalized individuals, including women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. In 2019 Olaf became a Knight of the Order of the Lion of the Netherlands after 500 works from his oeuvre were added to the collection of the Rijksmuseum. Taco Dibbits, Rijksmuseum director, called Olaf “one of the most important photographers of the final quarter of the 20th century”.”   You can also find out more about Erwin Olaf's amazing work by visiting his website: https://www.erwinolaf.com/art How can photographers find their place in the art market?

In dieser Sonderepisode sprechen ich mit Marco Larousse. Er ist einer der drei Gründer/Organisatoren des German Street Photography Festival.

Das "German Street Photography Festival" geht in seine dritte Runde: Eingebettet in die PHOTOPIA in Hamburg (21. bis 24. September 2023) liegt der Fokus auf "Dokumentation & Wandel". Wie sich das genau im Programm ausdrückt und was die Besucher sonst noch alles erwartet, verrät Organisator Marco Larousse. Beim "Meet & Street"-Treffen Anfang Juli in Nürnberg war die Nachricht noch ganz frisch: Das „German Street Photography Festival“ geht in die dritte Runde. Damals habe ich mich kurz mit den Organisatoren Marco Larousse, Siegfried Hansen und Martin U Waltz unterhalten, wie es gelungen ist, das Streetfotografie-Festival wieder in die PHOTOPIA zu integrieren. Nun, ein paar Wochen später, habe ich mit Marco Larousse darüber gesprochen, was sich seitdem in der Bühnen- und Programmplanung getan hat.  Wir sprechen über den Fokus des 3. GSPF, der auf "Wandel und Dokumentation" liegt. Darüber hinaus erklärt Marco, welche Rolle das Festival im Konzert mit vielen anderen Veranstaltungen & Treffen in der deutschen Stereofotografie-Szene spielt - denn eines ist klar:  Seit Marco, Siegfried und Martin 2019 im Goldbekhaus (Hamburg) der Streetfotografie in Deutschland zum ersten Mal eine große Bühne gaben, hat sich viel getan.  Mittlerweile gibt es in fast allen deutschen Großstädten aktive Kollektive. Auch die Vernetzung untereinander wächst – wie man zuletzt beim 3. "Meet & Street" in Nürnberg eindrucksvoll sehen konnte.  Ich persönlich freue mich sehr, dass die Street Photography auch auf der PHOTOPIA wieder prominent vertreten sein wird.  Thomas Jones und ich dürfen mit einem Vortrag zum Programm beitragen. Im Rahmen der PHOTOPIA veranstalten wir auch wieder unsere "Street Photography"-Workshops in Hamburg. Der Termin am 20. September ist schon ausgebucht. Für den 25. September sind aber noch ein paar Plätze frei. Wenn du Lust hast, mit uns Street Photography in der Praxis zu erleben, würden wir uns sehr freuen, dich dabei zu haben.  Street Photography spielt auch im GATE7 Podcast immer wieder eine wichtige Rolle. Stöbert doch einfach mal im Archiv und schaut, wen ich schon alles als Gast begrüßen durfte - unter anderem Sean Tucker, Marco Larousse, Valerie Jardin, Martin U Waltz, Siegfried Hansen, Pia Parolin, Gustavo Minas, Samuel Lintaro Hopf und so weiter - dazu ausführliche Features über Street Collective in Deutschland. Alles unter: www.gatesieben.de/street-photography Viel Spaß beim Entdecken und Hören.

On this PPN Camera and Inspiration episode, Marco interviewed the biologist, photographer, and author Dr. Pia Parolin on the show. Pia has published different books in the field of biology and in the field of photography. With her latest photo project “Water People Stories”, she uses the access and skills that she has in both professions, to make her scientific work more accessible to the broad public.   This show is sponsored by MPB.com: www.MPB.com   Inspirational Photographer of the Month: Pia picked Russian-born American photographer Anastasia Samoylova. Anastasia's work revolves around environmentalism, consumerism, and the picturesque. She has exhibited her work in many museums worldwide. She has also published several photo books with some of the finest publishers in the industry. You can find out more about Anastasia Samoylova's work by visiting her website: https://www.anasamoylova.com/ Water People Stories - The creation process for meaningful photo projects: In the main segment of this show, Pia shared how she started her latest photo project “Water People Stories” - the project combines her work and skills as a scientist in wetland ecology and as a photographer for street- and documentary photography. Pia realized that scientists are often good at communicating their results amongst themselves. But they are usually not that good at communicating it outside the scientific world. Pia wants to change that with her new photo project, where she combines her scientific experience and access with her photography. In this project, she wants to tell individual stories about people all around the world, and how water impacts their daily lives. For those people who live in urban spaces, access to water is taken for granted. But that is not the case for people all around the world, and climate change and global warming may have a negative impact on the water supply for many more people in the future.  Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: Pia's pick: “Floridas by Anastasia Samoylova". From the publisher's description: “Evans witnessed modern Florida emerging in the 1930s, with its blend of cultures, waves of tourism, stark beauty, and blatant vulgarity. He photographed there until the 1970s, making Polaroids that still feel contemporary. Samoylova inherits what Evans saw coming. With intelligence and humor, she picks her way through the seductions and disappointments of a place that symbolizes the contradictions of the United States today. In Floridas, photographs by Samoylova and Evans are presented in parallel, weaving past and present, switching between black-and-white and color imagery…” The book is published by Steidel and has 192 pages Amazon: https://amzn.to/471qfwR Photo Festivals that Marco and Pia mentioned:   German Street Photography Festival is a part of PHOTOPIA 21. - 24.

Faszination Street Photography: Beim 3. Meet & Street wurde einmal mehr deutlich, welchen Reiz das Genre ausübt. Aus ganz Deutschland waren Streetfotograf:innen angereist, um sich in Nürnberg zu treffen, auszutauschen und zu vernetzen. Zudem gab es eine gute Nachricht: Schon im September gibt es einen weiteren Street-Photography-Gipfel. Nach einem Jahr Pause kehrt das "German Street Photography Festival" zurück auf die PHOTOPIA. In dieser Sonderfolge spreche ich mit Wolfgang Mertens, Gerald Prechtl und Samuel Ioannidis vom "Nürnberg Unposed Collective" darüber, was es bedeutet, so ein Event zu organisieren und wie zufrieden sie mit dem Ergebnis waren.  Die drei Gründer und Organisatoren des "German Street Photography Festivals", Marco Larousse, Siegfried Hansen und Martin U Waltz, blicken auf die 3. Auflage, die vom 20. bis 24. September im Rahmen der PHOTOPIA in Hamburg stattfinden wird.  Links zu Inhalten und Themen aus dieser Episode: Unposed – Der Streetfotografie Podcast Street Collective Dresden Überblick über die Street-Kollektive in Deutschland YouTube-Kanal von Philipp Meiners, Samuel Lintaro Hopf und Jochen Müller Beitrag von Maik Kroner über das "Meet & Street in Nürnberg" Video: "Out on the streets with Siegfried Hansen" Podcast-Feature über das Street Collective Hamburg mit Keynotes von Siegfried Hansen und Sean Tucker // Werbung // Falls du den Podcast heute zum ersten Mal hörst, schau dich gerne auch mal im Archiv um.

On this PPN Camera and Inspiration episode, Marco interviewed the photographer, author, and educator Martin U Waltz on the show. Martin has published three different photo books with three different publishers in the past 12 months and shared his different experiences and tips as a photographer about the process of photo book publishing.   Martin was also on the previous PPN Camera and Inspiration podcast episode #28, where he shared tips on how to get your photos into a photo exhibition.

Skander is a documentary photographer who is based in Munich, Germany. He describes his work as “documenting life in public space by telling stories while retaining a note of mystery.” Martin is very impressed by Skanders work, whom he describes as a wanderer between worlds and cultures with a vast portfolio of extremely creative and well-composed images. You can find out more about Skander Khlif's work by visiting his website: https://skanderkhlif.com/stories How to get your photo book published: In the main segment of this show, Martin shared valuable information and different approaches on how to get your photo book published by a publisher. His information is based on the different photo books that he has published with different publishing houses in the past and covers the main steps from the photo book idea, selecting and contacting publishers, to the writing and photo selection process. Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: Martin's pick: “Harry Gruyaert” Photographs by Harry Gruyaert. Martin picked the photo book: “Harry Gruyaert” by Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert. From the publisher's description: “Born in Antwerp in 1941 and a member of Magnum Photos since 1982, Harry Gruyaert revolutionized creative and experimental uses of color in the 1970s and 1980s. Influenced by cinema and American photographers, his work defined new territory for color photography: an emotive, non-narrative, and boldly graphic way of perceiving the world… …Gruyaert's images are autonomous, often independent of any context or thematic logic. This volume, the first retrospective of his work, is a superb overview of his personal quest for freedom of expression and the liberation of the senses.”  The book is published by Thames & Hudson and has 144 pages Amazon: https://amzn.to/3NuuU1b   Marco also mentioned the three books, that Martin has recently published and talked about on the show:   Streetfotografie made in Germany 357 pages in German, published by Rheinwerk Verlag Amazon: https://amzn.to/46vIk5K   Next Level Streetfotografie: 256 pages in German, published by dpunkt Verlag Amazon: https://amzn.to/3NvwW1g   Berlin Unseen: 208 pages in English and German, published by teNeues Verlag Amazon: https://amzn.to/3PEBrsT   Links to Martin U Waltz: Web: https://www.StreetBerlin.net    Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1  Workshops: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops/  Eigen Energie Wende: https://www.eigenenergiewende.de   Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/PPNPhotoPodcastNetwork  Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ppn-apple-podcasts  Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/PPN-GooglePodcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/PPN-fm Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) which will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR software: Link: LUMINAR NEO (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings)   And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

On this PPN Camera and Inspiration episode, Marco invited the inspiring photographer, author, and YouTuber Sean Tucker who has been on Marco's interview wishlist the longest and who has been requested to be a guest the most by PPN listeners. Sean was invited to this show because Marco had the feeling, that we all could use an inspirational jump-start right now, to get our creativity going and to either level up on current projects or to get inspired to start new photo projects.   This show is sponsored by MPB.com: www.MPB.com Inspirational Photographer of the Month: Sean picked Canadian-born photographer Joey Lawrence (Joey L.). Sean is impressed by how tasteful Joey creates his portraits and how meaningful his work is. Joey has some personal projects like the tribes of the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, the guerrilla fighters of Kurdistan, and Holy Men in India, where he mixes natural light and strobes to create very striking images. You can find out more about Joey L.'s work by visiting his website: http://joeyl.com Here are some behind-the-scenes videos of the three photo projects:: http://joeyl.com/onset/videos Motivation to pick up your camera and start new photo projects: In the main segment of this show, Sean shared different approaches to get in the right mindset to think about new projects or to level up on existing projects. Making friends with change and “embracing the suck” is part of the process, that helps us to explore and expand our mental, creative, and technical mindset for future photo projects. Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: Sean's pick: “BYWAYS” Photographs by Roger A. Deakins. Sean is inspired by Rager A. Deakins as he is one of his favorite cinematographers who has done some of the most beautiful films of the last 20 years. Deakins' photos in this book are from rural North Devon and the neighboring seaside dating back as far as 1971. Sean likes the way Deakins frames his images with the same eye that he has when he composes his movies - but without the famous actors and lighting setup.  So it is like the purest version of his vision to Sean. The book is published by Thames & Hudson and has 160 pages Amazon US: amzn.to/43eROAq Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/43DNURv Marco's pick: “The Meaning in the Making (A Philosophy - for the Creative Life)” by Sean Tucker.   Author's description: This book contains personal stories interwoven with the psychological, philosophical, and spiritual practices which help me stay a mentally healthy, inspired, and motivated "maker of things." I may be known first and foremost as a photographer, but this book has been written for anyone who makes anything; from filmmakers to musicians, and from painters to writers. So, no matter what your chosen creative outlet is, this book is for you. The book is published by rocky nook and has 328 pages   rocky nook (English version): https://rockynook.com/shop/print/the-meaning-in-the-making/#   Amazon Germany (German version): https://amzn.to/3C07hZh   Audiobook (English) version: https://www.seantucker.photography/store/the-meaning-in-the-making-audiobook Links to Sean Tucker: Web: https://www.seantucker.photography  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seantuck/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/seantuckerphoto  Twitter: https://twitter.com/seantuck  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/seantuckerphoto     Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1  Workshops: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops/  Eigen Energie Wende: https://www.eigenenergiewende.de   Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/PPNPhotoPodcastNetwork  Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ppn-apple-podcasts  Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/PPN-GooglePodcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/PPN-fm Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) which will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR software: Link: LUMINAR NEO (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings)   And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

After a longer than anticipated break, Marco invited back his friend and PPN co-founder Scott Bourn to the 6. PPN birthday anniversary show. They did some catching up on what they had been up to since the last episode aired and then covered Scott's new photo genre “toy photography” which later transitioned into covering the good, the bad and the implications that Ai photography may have on the industry and society.   This show is sponsored by MPB.com: www.MPB.com Inspirational Photographer of the Month:   Scott picked Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto (born 1948 in Tokyo). Scott is particularly impressed that Hiroshi Sugimoto has reinvented himself and his photography many times and always became a true master at the genres that he worked at. Sugimoto has won many international photo awards and exhibited his work in museums and galleries around the world. You can find out more about Hiroshi Sugimoto by visiting his website: https://www.sugimotohiroshi.com   Here is a video interview where Hiroshi Sugimoto talks about his diorama work: https://youtu.be/q9GiyPbLYPg Toy Photography and some pros and Cons of the Development of AI in Photography.   In the main segment, Scott explained how he got into toy photography and shared some insights on his pre- and post-production approach for his impressive photos. In his process, Scott also saw lots of advantages to partially using AI in his post-processing workflow and has since embraced it and pushed his work to new frontiers. This led to an interesting discussion between Marco and Scott on the recent developments of AI in photography and how this may influence the photo industry and society in the future. Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: “Conceptual Forms and Mathematical Models” by Hiroshi Sugimoto.   Scott was so inspired by the work of Hirosho Sugimoto, that he also picked his book: “Conceptual Forms and Mathematical Models”. The photos in this book show the degree of perfection that Hiroshi Sugimoto strives for in his images.

Alles über Balkonsolar In dieser Podcastfolge erklären wir euch, wie ihr euren Strom mit Hilfe eines „Solar Balkon Kraftwerks“ selbst produzieren und ihn dann direkt in eurem Stromnetz zu Hause verbrauchen könnt. „Balkonkraftwerk“ ist ein Sammelbegriff für Mini-Solarkraftwerke, die auch manchmal Stecker-Solarkraftwerk genannt werden und an Balkonbrüstungen, wie auch in Gärten oder auf Dächern betrieben werden können. Wir erklären in dieser Folge, was so ein kleines Balkonkraftwerk leisten kann, wie es funktioniert und was man dafür brauch und welche technischen Eigenschaften die einzelnen Komponenten der Balkonkraftwerkes haben sollten. Außerdem gehen wir noch auf einige rechtliche Punkte zu dem Thema ein und geben euch einen Ausblick auf geplante Vereinfachungen des Gesetzgebers zu Balkonkraftwerken.   Links: Marcos Balkonkraftwerk Set mit den sehr leistungsfähigen Bifazialen HJT Solarpanels.

Eigen Energie Podcast Folge 2: Es gibt so viel Potenzial zum Strom sparen Die 2. Folge des Eigen Energie Wende Podcast stellt euch viele Möglichkeiten vor, wie ihr effektiver Strom einsparen könnt. Denn sofern ihr euren Stromverbrauch nicht schon aktiv unter die Lupe genommen und alle Möglichkeiten für Einsparungen aktiviert habt, bin ich mir ziemlich sicher, dass ihr ohne größere Investitionen oder Komforteinschränkungen mindestens 10% eures Jahres-Stromverbrauchs, im Vergleich zu den letzten beiden Jahren, einsparen könnt. Dafür gebe ich euch in dieser Folge viele Tipps aus den Erfahrungen, die ich mit meiner Familie in den letzten Monaten bezüglich des Stromsparens gemacht habe. Wir konnten unseren Stromverbrauch im Verlauf der letzten Monate um ca. 60% reduzieren, da wir unbewusst viel Strom verschwendet haben. Wir konnten diese Einsparung nur erreichen, indem wir unseren Stromverbrauch „sichtbar gemacht“ haben. Wie das geht, erkläre ich in der ersten Folge des Eigen Energie Wende Podcast, die ihr hier unbedingt noch einmal anhören solltet: https://www.eigenenergiewende.de/podcastfolgen/folge-1-die-grundlagen-um-effektiv-strom-zu-sparen   --- Kurze Erläuterung zur Strommessung und der Stromkostenberechnung --- Die Leistungsaufnahme von Elektrogeräten wird in Watt gemessen. Watt ist das Ergebnis aus der Formel Volt (also Stromspannung) Mal Ampere (also Stromstärke). Unser Stromverbrauch wird in der Einheit kWh gemessen und in dieser Einheit auch vom Stromanbieter abgerechnet. Aktuell sind das bei vielen von euch wahrscheinlich 35 – oder hoffentlich höchstens 70 Cent pro kWh. Aber wie werden jetzt Watt zu kWh? Ihr habt sicherlich schon mal die Leistungsangabe Watt auf einigen Haushaltsgeräten gesehen. Unsere Mikrowelle hat z.B. eine maximale Einstellung zum Erhitzen von 800 Watt und um dieses Beispiel zu vereinfachen, rechnen wir mal damit, dass dafür auch genau 800 Watt Strom aus der Steckdose fließen, in Wirklichkeit ist das etwas mehr, aber wir wollen es möglichst einfach halten. Das würde bedeuten, dass die Mikrowelle bei 1 Stunde Laufzeit und 800 Watt Leistung dann 800 Wattstunden an Strom verbraucht hat. Da eine kWh 1000 Wattstunden entspricht müssen wir den Wert von 800 Wattstunden durch 1000 Teilen und bekommen dann den Wert in kWh. Also 800 Wattstunden durch 1000 ergibt 0,8 kWh. Um das jetzt in Kosten umzurechnen, multiplizieren wir 0,8 x 0,35 Euro = 0,28 Cent an Stromkosten. Bei einem Strompreis von 70 Cent wären das dann 0,8 x 0,7 = 0,56 Euro. Leider findet man auf den meisten Haushaltsgeräten keinen Knopf mit der einstellbaren Leistungsangabe wie bei der Mikrowelle. Daher solltet ihr wie in Folge 1 beschrieben, eure Stromverbräuche sichtbar machen.     --- Einsparpotenzial bei TV, Audio im Wohnzimmer ---   Macht erst einmal einen einfachen Schnelltest bei euren Elektrogeräten mit einem Rundgang durch die Räume und ein schlichtes Handauflegen auf Elektrogeräte und Netzteile, die im Stand-by-Modus bzw. ausgeschaltet sind. Wenn ihr spürt, dass sich ein Gerät besonders warm anfühlt, obwohl es nicht eingeschaltet ist, könnt ihr davon ausgehen, dass hier unnötig Strom verbraucht wird. An diesen Geräten solltet ihr also zuerst eure Strommesssteckdose anschließen, um zu sehen, wie viel Strom hier verbraucht bzw. verschwendet wird. Bei uns war der größte Standby-Stromverschwender im Wohnzimmer unser alter Classic DVD-Receiver der im Standby 20W verbraucht und in der Woche nur noch 2-3 Std. zum Einsatz kommt. In Zahlen bedeuten 20W x 24 Std. = 480 Wh das sind also fast ½ kWh pro Tag. Im Jahr sind das 175 kWh die €60 € bei einem Strompreis von 35 Cent oder €120 bei einem Strompreis von 70 Cent entsprechen. Den Verstärker haben wir jetzt an eine schaltbare Steckdose angeschlossen, die wir nur noch einschalten, wenn wir den Verstärker auch nutzen. Das ergibt eine Menge Einsparung ohne Komfortverlust. Gerade ältere Geräte haben z.T. einen sehr hohe Standby verbrauch, da die gesetzlichen Regulierungen zum Stromverbrauch früher nicht sehr strikt waren und daher nicht viel Aufmerksamkeit dem Energiesparen geschenkt wurde. Also solltet ihr besonders eure älteren Elektrogeräte, die ständig an der Steckdose angeschlossen sind, besonders unter die Lupe nehmen. Überprüft bei dieser Gelegenheit auch, ob ihr eine Spielekonsole im Wohnzimmer habt, die ständig am Strom hängt. Auch hier sind ältere Konsolen richtige Stromfresser, also lohnt es sich auch diese nur mit Strom zu versorgen, wenn sie auch aktiv genutzt werden. Ein weiterer großer Stromverbraucher, der in vielen Haushalten täglich genutzt wird, ist der Fernseher. Hier solltet ihr unbedingt als nächstes die Strommesssteckdose anschließen, um den genauen Stromverbrauch zu erfahren. Die größte Ersparnis haben wir an unserem LCD-Fernseher durch die Reduzierung der Hintergrundbeleuchtung erzielt und gleichzeitig ein natürlicheres Bild mit besseren Schwarzwerten in dunklen Bildbereichen erhalten. Es lohnt sich auch noch elektronischen „Bildoptimierungs-Einstellungen“ durchzuprobieren. Einige davon kosten zusätzlich Rechenleistung, die auch einen höheren Stromverbrauch bedeuten kann. Neuere LCD-Fernseher benötigen bei 4K Auflösung und HDR i.d.R. auch mehr Strom als im normalen HD und ohne HDR Modus. Messt mal nach, welches Feature bei euch wie viel mehr Strom verbraucht, um dann ggf. diese Features bewusst z.B. nur für den Kinoabend zu aktivieren. Unser Fernseher verbraucht jetzt im Betrieb nur noch 60W und somit 50% weniger Strom als vor der Optimierung. Damit liegen wir jetzt bei einem TV-Jahresverbrauch von nur noch 90 kWh im Gegensatz zu vorher 180 kWh. Das ergibt bei den beiden Referenzstrompreisen von 35 bzw. 70 Cent eine Einsparung von €30 bzw. €60 pro Jahr. Die Ersparnis kann noch höher ausfallen, wenn ihr, wenn möglich (z.B., wenn man alleine schaut) vom Fernseher auf ein Tablett wechselt. Mein iPad Pro hat eine viel bessere Auflösung und auch ein HDR Display, aber es verbraucht im Betrieb noch einmal 90% weniger Strom als unser Fernseher. Und da ich das iPad näher vor mich stelle, ist die Bildgröße perspektivisch sogar etwas größer für mich, als wenn ich auf den 4m entfernten Fernseher schaue. Unser Fernseher, Apple-TV und Amazon FireTV-Stick verbrauchen im Standby ca. 4 Watt und werden, in den über 20 Stunden, die wir sie täglich nicht nutzen, jetzt per Steckerleiste vom Strom getrennt. So reduzieren wir unseren Stromverbrauch um 4W mal 20 Std. also 80 Wh pro Tag oder ca. 30 kWh pro Jahr. Auf der Stromrechnung ergibt das eine weitere Einsparung von €10 bzw. €20 jährlich. Das Gleiche gilt auch für externe Satelliten-TV Verteiler, Kable-TV Box, DVB-T Empfänger oder Antennenverstärker. Diese Geräte können, wenn sie auch schon ein paar Jahre alt sind, ständig 5-20W verbrauchen und somit die Stromrechnung um €15-€70 pro Jahr erhöhen. Auch diese haben wir jetzt so geschaltet, dass es nur an sind, wenn wir auch wirklich TV schauen. Der nächste Stromverbraucher ist der Internetrouter. Wir haben eine FritzBox für unser DSL und die verbraucht, je nach Typ und Einsatz zwischen 5–20W. Ein großer Teil des Energieverbrauchs benötigt dabei das WLAN. Sofern das bei euch nicht 24Stunden pro Tag laufen muss, schaut mal in die Bedienoberfläche eures Routers, ob es eine Zeitschaltfunktion für das WLAN gibt. Die aktuelleren FritzBoxen haben diese Funktion und damit könntet ihr das WLAN z.B. zwischen 0-6 Uhr ausschalten und so ¼ des Stromverbrauchs für das WLAN reduzieren und damit ca. €10-€30 pro Jahr einsparen. Zusätzlich gibt es in einigen Routern weitere Energiesparoptionen, die ihr ausprobieren solltet. Schließt dazu wieder die Strommessgsteckdose vor den Router und testet die verschiedenen Einstellungen, um zu sehen, welche Einstellungen sich auf den Verbrauch auswirken. Wenn man den gesamten Router über eine externe Zeitschaltuhr ausschalten, würden evtl. auch das Telefon sowie Geräte, die eine ständige Internetverbindung benötigen (Alarmanlage, SmartHome Steuerung etc.) getrennt werden.     --- Homeoffice / EDV --- So ähnlich wie im Wohnzimmer solltet ihr auch in eurem Homeoffice vorgehen. Gibt es Geräte, die Ständig am Strom hängen, obwohl sie das nicht müssen? Wir haben jetzt konsequent alle Geräte an schaltbaren Steckerleisten angeschlossen und trennen diese vom Strom, wenn der Arbeitstag beendet ist. Was für euren Fernseher gilt, solltet ihr auch auf eure Computermonitore übertragen. Stellt die Hintergrundbeleuchtung jeweils nur so hell ein, wie es sein muss. Geräte wie Scanner, Drucker, externe Festplatten, Audio-Interfaces usw. sollten nur verbunden sein, wenn sie benötigt werden. Es lohnt auch die Energiespareinstellungen in den Systemeinstellungen eurer Rechner zu checken, denn da kann man bestimmt auch noch ein paar Dinge, wie z.B. Ausschaltzeiten des Monitors bei Inaktivität oder andere Dinge, optimieren. Wenn ein Gerät im Standby nur 2W verbraucht, summiert sich das in 24 Stunden auf ca. 50 Wh. Um diesen vermeintlich unbedeutenden Verbrauch mal in Perspektive zu setzen: Mit 50 Wh pro Tag kann man, wenn man bei aktuellen Smartphones von einer Batteriekapazität zwischen 10 bis 15 Wh ausgeht, 3–5 Smartphones Täglich vollständig aufladen! Nach dieser ganzen Recherche habe ich in den letzten Monaten auch mein Arbeitsverhalten mehr an den Bedarf und an den Stromverbrauch angepasst. Ich habe mir nach der Energiespar-Recherche der letzten Monate jetzt angewöhnt, angepasst an meine Aufgaben generell den dafür ausreichend dimensionierten Rechner zu nehmen. Für E-Mails schreiben, Websurfen oder kleinere Foto- und Videoarbeiten reicht mein iPad Pro völlig aus und das verbraucht pro Tag nur so viel Energie wie mein großer 5K iMac bei geringer Leistung in einer Stunde. Also kann ich hier gut 90% Strom pro Tag einsparen, wenn ich nicht auf den großen Monitor oder die maximale Rechenleistung des iMacs angewiesen bin. Für viele größere Aufgaben kann ich aber auch mein Notebook einsetzen, da es sogar einen schnelleren Prozessor als der iMac hat, aber nur ca. 1/3 des Stroms verbraucht. Dafür ist der Monitor aber natürlich auch deutlich kleiner. Vielleicht habt ihr auch die Möglichkeit eure Arbeitsgeräte mehr an den Bedarf anzupassen, um auch hier noch einmal Strom einzusparen.     --- Haushaltsgeräte ---   Viele Haushaltsgeräte haben ein großes Strom-Einsparpotential, da sie fast täglich genutzt werden und viel Strom verbrauchen. Die größten Einsparungen konnten wir bei der Waschmaschine und dem Wäschetrockner erzielen. Bei uns mit 4 Personen, davon 2 aktive Kinder, die viel Sport treiben und viel Wäsche produzieren, läuft die Waschmaschine ca. 200-mal im Jahr. Neuere Waschmaschinen haben schon einige Energiesparprogramme, aber auch bei älteren Waschmaschinen könnt ihr durch gezielte Waschprogramm- und Temperaturwahl eine Menge an Strom sparen. Dazu kann es sinnvoll sein eine von den in der letzten Folge vorgestellten WLAN-Steckdosen mit Strommessfunktion anzuschaffen und an der Waschmaschine anzuschließen. Wir haben so eine Messsteckdose dauerhaft angeschlossen und konnten damit über einen längeren Zeitraum genau herausfinden, wie viel Strom welches Waschprogramm bei welcher Temperatur verbraucht und dann vergleichen wie sauber das Waschergebnis war. Ich werdet dann vielleicht ähnlich überrascht sein, mit wie wenig Strom man gute Waschergebnisse erzielen kann. Und vorab ein kleiner Spoiler: die kurzen Schnellwaschprogramme sind oft die größten Stromfresser. Aber auch die gewählte Waschtemperatur hat einen sehr großen Einfluss auf den Stromverbrauch. Denn das Waschwasser kommt direkt aus der ungeheizten Wasserleitung des Hausanschlusses. Die Temperatur des Wassers beträgt durchschnittlich 10–15°C und wird durch einen elektrischen Heizstab in der Waschmaschine auf die gewünschte Waschtemperatur erhitzt. Also bei einer 30° Wäsche muss das Wasser um ca. 15° erhitzt werden. Bei einer 40° Wäsche sind das schon 25° und bei einer 60° Wäsche eine Erhöhung um 45° C. Bei einer 90° Wäsche sind das dann ganze 75° C und das Erhitzen von Wasser kostet eine Menge Strom. Wir haben die 90° Wäsche jetzt abgeschafft und waschen unsere ehemalige Kochwäsche maximal noch mit 60° und guten Ergebnissen. Und die ehemalige 60° Wäsche haben wir auf 40° reduziert wobei für viele Wäschen auch ein 30° Waschgang mit entsprechendem Waschprogramm völlig ausreicht. Das alles funktioniert besonders gut, wenn man, so wie man das früher schon gemacht hat, starke Flecken oder Verschmutzungen vor der Wäsche direkt mit etwas Waschmittel behandelt. Bei den Waschtemperaturen sind die Einsparmöglichkeiten einheitlich, aber bei den Waschprogrammen eurer Waschmaschine müsst ihr individuell nachmessen, welches Programm wie viel Strom bei eurer Maschine verbraucht. Grundsätzlich sollte das ECO oder Öko Programm sparsamer als Normalprogramme sein. Bei einigen Waschmaschinen kann man auch verschiedene Normalprogramme mit einer Eco oder Öko-Taste in den Energiesparmodus versetzen.   Als Beispiel sind hier ein paar Verbrauchsdaten unserer Waschmaschine: - Eine 60° Eco-Wäsche (das lange Programm) verbraucht bei uns ca. 1 kWh - Die 40° Eco-Wäsche (auch das lange Programm) verbraucht ca. 0,6 kWh also ca. 40% weniger als die 60° Wäsche) - Die 30° Eco-Wäsche verbraucht ca. 0,3 kWh also 70% weniger als die 60° und 50% weniger als die 40° Wäsche Bei 200 Wäschen Pro Jahr kann man hier ca. €50–€100 einsparen.   Viele modernere Waschmaschinen erkennen, wie viel KG Wäsche sich in der Trommel befinden und dementsprechend kann der Verbrauch von einer Halbvollen zu einer sehr vollen Wäsche auch bei den gleichen Einstellungen variieren. Nach dem Waschgang kann es sich lohnen, vor dem Trocknen noch einen Schleuderzyklus in der Waschmaschine laufen zu lassen. Sofern es die Kleidungsstücke zulassen, machen wir einen extra Schleuderzyklus mit 1400 U/min und das dauert ca. 12 Minuten extra. Mit weniger Restfeuchtigkeit trocknet die Wäsche dann auch schneller auf der Wäscheleine oder im Wäschetrockner. In der Vergangenheit haben wir fast immer unseren Wäschetrockner benutzt da es so schön praktisch war. Aber mich hat fast der Schlag getroffen, als ich gesehen habe, wie viel Strom ein Trocknungsgang bei uns verbraucht. Wir haben einen 10 Jahre alten Kondenstrockner, also einen Trockner ohne Abluftschlauch nach draußen, der von einem namenhaften deutschen Hersteller stammt und für uns unglaubliche 3,5 kWh für eine volle Ladung Wäsche verbraucht. Der Wäschetrockner verbraucht also durchschnittlich 6-Mal mehr Strom als unsere Waschmaschine für die gleiche Wäsche! Manchmal haben wir Tage, an denen wir sogar nur 3,5 kWh in unserem gesamten Haus verbrauchen. 3,5 kWh bei 200 Wäschen im Jahr entspricht 700 kWh pro Jahr oder ca. €250-€750 pro Jahr. Bei unserem aktuellen Stromverbrauch würde das unseren Verbrauch um mindestens 1/3 erhöhen. Nur für den Wäschetrockner! Wir haben dann sofort auf das Trocknen mit Wäscheständern umgestellt und damit bisher eine Menge Strom & Geld eingespart. Das war zwischen April und September auch nicht schwer, da wir die Wäsche draußen trocknen konnten. Sofern wir das in der dunklen und kalten Jahreszeit nicht durchhalten können, da wir keinen angemessenen Trocknungsraum im Haus haben, erwägen wir den Kauf eines modernen Wärmepumpen-Wäschetrockners. Die aktuellen Modelle mit hoher Energieeffiziens sind um ca. 2/3 sparsamer als die alten Kondenstrockner und diese Investition kann sich bei häufigem Einsatz und hohen Strompreisen in weniger als 2 Jahren amortisieren.   --- Amazon-Link Wäschetrockner --- Siemens iQ500: https://amzn.to/3dhiWKw Sofern ihr eine Geschirrspülmaschine habt, lohnt sich auch ein Durchprobieren und eine Verbrauchsmessung der unterschiedlichen Spülprogramme. Auch hier gilt wieder, je heißer der Waschgang, desto mehr Strom wird verbraucht. Unsere 10 Jahre alte Maschine hat ein Ökosparprogramm mit 50°C das genau 1 kWh pro Spülgang verbraucht und das ist für uns akzeptabel. Wir packen die Maschine jetzt auch immer ganz voll und verschenken kein Platz durch sperrige Töpfe. Die brauchen wir täglich und waschen sie direkt nach dem Kochen ab. Das geht schnell, weil in der kurzen Zeit nichts eintrocknen kann. Im Durchschnitt läuft unsere Spülmaschine jetzt einmal alle 4 Tage.   Kommen wir zum nächsten Stromverbraucher den wahrscheinlich jeder besitz und das ist der Kühl- und Gefrierschrank. Da dieser das ganze Jahr über in Betrieb ist, können sich hier auch kleinere Einsparungen auf der Stromrechnung bemerkbar machen. Der Kühl-/Gefrierschrank verbraucht am meisten Strom, wenn der Kühlkompressor läuft um die Kühltemperatur auf der eingestellten Mindesttemperatur zu halten. Ihr könnt das vielleicht bei eurem Kühlschrank hören, wenn der ein bisschen brummt dann wird gerade gekühlt. Bei unserem 10 Jahre alten Kühlschrank sind das ungefähr 20 Minuten pro Stunde. Aber auch hier gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten diesen Strom-Dauerverbraucher etwas in die Schranken zu weisen. Die erste Einsparung, die wir gemacht haben, war die Kühltemperatur zu optimieren. Unser Kühlschrank war auf 5°C Kühltemperatur eingestellt. Das haben wir jetzt auf 7°C erhöht, da jedes Grad den Stromverbrauch um ca. 6% verändert. Das Gefrierfach haben wir von -18 auf -16°C Kühltemperatur erhöht, so dass wir bei Kühlschrank jetzt über 20% Stromverbrauch pro Jahr einsparen. Achtet auch darauf, die Kühlschranktür nur zu öffnen, wenn es nötig ist und die Tür nicht ganz so schnell aufzureißen, damit nicht so viel Kälte in den Raum verloren geht. Und ihr solltet auch alle Gerichte, die im Kühlschrank aufbewahrt werden, vorher auf Raumtemperatur abkühlen, damit hier nicht unnötig gegen eine Wärmequelle gekühlt werden muss. Außerdem solltet ihr dafür sorgen, dass der Kühlschrank nicht direkter Sonneneinstrahlung ausgesetzt ist oder direkt an der Heizung steht, da dies zusätzliche Kühlleistung beansprucht.     --- Herd und Backofen ---   Für den Herd gilt grundsätzlich: Je kürzer und weniger Töpfe ihr auf dem Herd aufheizt, desto weniger Strom verbraucht ihr. Sprich, ein Eintopf kann im Angesicht der aktuellen Stromsituation wieder an Attraktivität gewinnen, wenn ihr nur eine Herdplatte benutzt, anstatt gleichzeitig 3 Herdplatten zu benutzen, um unterschiedlichen Zutaten zu erhitzen. Die Herdplatte sollte von der Größe her nicht größer als der Topf sein und ihr solltet, wenn immer möglich, mit Deckel kochen, da so die Energieeffizienz im Kochprozess deutlich steigt. Ihr könnt die Herdplatte auch ein paar Minuten vor beendeter Kochzeit ausschalten und das Gericht zu ende garen, da noch viel Restwärme in der Platte und dem Topf stecken, die ohne weiter Stromverbrauch ausgenutzt werden können.   5 Tipps zur energiesparenderen Nutzung des Backofens:   Oft muss der Ofen nicht vorgeheizt werden und das Gericht kann so schon im Aufwärmprozess die Energie nutzen. In der Regel ist die Umlufteinstellung am effektivsten, da sich so die Wärme am besten im Ofen verteilt und ihr so auch mehrere Backbleche gleichzeitig nutzen könnt. Wenn ihr gefrorene Lebensmittel backt, dann kann es Sinn machen diese schon einen Tag vorher im Kühlschrank auf 7° C aufzutauen. Der Kühlschrank profitiert, da er in der Auftauzeit die Kälte nutzt und weniger selbst kühlen muss. Und der Ofen muss kein Gericht von -16° aufbacken, sondert startet bei +7°C und hat damit einen 23° Vorsprung der weniger Energie kostet. Öffnet die Ofentür nur wenn es absolut notwendig ist (z.B. zum Wenden oder um die Kerntemperatur zu prüfen). Denn durch jedes Öffnen geht viel Wärme aus dem Inneren des Ofens verloren. Auch der Backofen hält die Restwärme bei geschlossener Tür ür einen längeren Zeitraum, und auch hier könnt ihr ggf. den Ofen schon ein paar Minuten vor dem Ende der Backzeit abstellen und so etwas Strom sparen. Denn im Heizmodus verbraucht ein Backofen oft über 2000W.     --- Licht und Beleuchtung ---   Statistisch verbrauchen wir ca. 10% unseres Stroms für Beleuchtung in Privathaushalten. Es sollte sich mittlerweile herumgesprochen haben, dass alte Glühbirnen unglaubliche Energievernichter sind und dass man möglichst alle Lampen auf LED-Lampen umstellen sollte. Früher hatte bei uns eine 100W Glühbirne einen mittelgroßen Raum ausgeleuchtet. Heute können wir mit 100W Leistung mehr als ein Dutzend LED-Lampen betreiben und unser ganzes Haus ausreichend ausleuchten. Geht mal durchs Haus oder die Wohnung und kontrolliert, ob wirklich überall schon LED-Lampen eingesetzt sind, wo sie eingesetzt werden können. Und achtet auch besonders auf eingebaute Halogenstrahler, die können ggf. auch durch viel sparsamere LED-Lampen ersetzt werden. Die LED-Technologie hat sich auch weiterentwickelt und so haben wir kürzlich alte LED-Birnen gegen neuere mit noch weniger Stromverbrauch bei besserer Helligkeit und schönerer Lichtqualität ersetzt. In Summe habe ich durch den Austausch der alten gegen neue LEDs noch einmal 85W Verbrauchsleistung eingespart, wenn alle Lampen eingeschaltet sind. Am effizientesten sollten natürlich die Lampen sein, die auch am meisten genutzt werden und da könnte sich eine Neuinvestition vom Stromverbrauch und der Lichtqualität her lohnen, wenn ihr aktuell auch noch ältere LED-Birnen im Haus habt. Solltet ihr den Kauf von neuen LED-Birnen plant, achtet nicht nur auf die Wattzahl als Äquivalent einer klassischen Glühbirne achten. Denn die Helligkeit einer Birne wird in Lumen gemessen und danach solltet ihr die LED-Birnen vergleichen. Wenn also eine Birne 807 Lumen bei 7W Stromverbrauch leistet, dann wäre eine Birne mit 700 Lumen und einem Verbrauch von 7W die weniger effiziente. Auch die Lichtfarbe bzw. optische Temperatur ist bei der Auswahl wichtig. Diese wird in Kelvin (K) gemessen und wir mögen ein wärmeres Licht in unserem Wohnbereich und nehmen daher Birnen mit 2500-2700 K. Wenn die Zahl kleiner wird, ist das Licht wärmer. Und wenn sie höher ist, dann wird das Licht kälter. Um die 5500 K entspricht Tageslicht zur Mittagszeit, was gerne für Büros, Geschäfte und Ausstellungen genommen wird.  Alles was dann einen höheren Kelvin Wert hat wird dann blaustichig und optisch kalt.   --- Amazon-Links zu LED-Birnen --- 2 x Philips 60W (806 Lumen) Warmweiß 2.700 Kelvin, Stromverbrauch 7W: https://amzn.to/3Bo0d82 2 x Philips GU10 Sockel 50 Watt (355 Lumen) Warmweiß 2.700 Kelvin, Stromverbrauch 4,6W: https://amzn.to/3DA6CQg Philips LED GU5.3 Sockel, 50W ( 500 Lumen) Warmweiß 2.700 Kelvin, Stromverbrauch 7W: https://amzn.to/3UhWK3p 2 x Philips LED E14 Sockel 40 Watt (470 Lumen) Warmweiß 2.700 Kelvin, Stromverbrauch 4,3W: https://amzn.to/3qIpyVg     --- Amazon-Links zu Bluetooth/WLAN-Birnen --- 2x Philips Hue LED Dimmbar Filament E27 Sockel 60 Watt (550 Lumen) 2.100 Kelvin, Stromverbrauch 7W: https://amzn.to/3qNjzhL 2x Philips Hue LED Dimmbar (Helligkeit & Farbtemüperatur) E27 Sockel 75W (bis 1100 Lumen) 2200-6500 Kelvin, Stromverbrauch bis zu 8W: https://amzn.to/3BPvsKw     Im Garten haben wir jetzt auf Solarfackeln umgestellt, um abends und nachts ein paar Lichtquellen zu haben, die automatisch bei Dunkelheit angehen. Sie kommen ohne Netzstrom aus und machen ein gemütliches leicht flackerndes Fackellicht, ohne das wir dafür Petrolium verbrennen müssen.   --- Amazon-Link zur LED-Solarfackel ---   4 Solarfackeln Outdoor IP65 Wasserdicht: https://amzn.to/3SuWU5Z     --- Lüftung und Pumpen ---   Lüftungen und Pumpen können als Dauerläufer auch viel Strom verbrauchen. Passivhäuser haben z.B. oft aktive Lüftungsanlage damit ein ausreichender Luft- und Feuchtigkeitsaustauch in den sehr gut gedämmten Räumen möglich ist. Aber außerhalb der Heizperiode haben wir häufig die Fenster geöffnet und da sehe ich keinen großen Nutzen darin, wenn die Lüftung auch dann 24 Stunden durchläuft. Mit einer Zeitschaltuhr steuere ich die Lüftung jetzt so, dass sie Tagsüber bei geöffneten Fenstern nur immer 30 Minuten aktiv läuft und dann 30 Minuten pausiert. Nachts, bei geschlossenen Fenstern lasse ich sie dann wieder durchlaufen. So können wir ca. 25% des Stromverbrauchs pro Jahr für die Lüftung einsparen. Prüft doch mal, ob ihr schon eine intelligentere Lüftung habt, oder ob eure auch das ganze Jahr ständig läuft. Ein regelmäßige Filter Reinigung oder Austausch kann übrigens den Gebläsewiderstand verringern und auch Strom sparen. In vielen Haushalten gibt es Pumpen für verschiedenste Zwecke, die auch ziemlich viel Strom verbrauchen können, besonders wenn sie alt sind. Da man diese Pumpen nicht immer sieht und dann entsprechend keinen Strommessstecker anschließen kann, würde hier der Blick auf euren mit PIN freigeschalteten digitalen Stromzähler helfen, wenn ihr nach dem Freischalten den Momentanverbrauch im Haus kontrollieren könnt (das Prozedere dafür könnt ihr noch einmal in Folge 1 nachhören). So konnte ich feststellen, dass die Pumpe für den Wärmekreislauf unserer Solarthermieanlage im aktiven Betrieb knapp 100W. Sie springt aber nur an, wenn wir auch wärme durch Sonneneinstrahlung generieren und somit Gas einsparen. Daher ist das eine sinnvolle und gut gesteuerte Pumpe. Aber vielleicht habt ihr noch eine Ölheizung mit alten Pumpen die ständig laufen oder habt ihr irgendwo noch alte Wasserpumpen, die ständig aktiv sind? Da kommen schnell einige unnötige kWh an Stromverbrauch im Monat zusammen und evtl. lohnt sich ein Austausch alter Pumpen gegen effizientere oder auch eine intelligente Steuerung damit die Pumpen nur laufen, wenn sie auch wirklich gebraucht werden.   Habt ihr noch Stromspartipps, die für unsere Community interessant wären? Dann schreibt diese bitte in die Kommentare unter die Shownotes für Folge 2 auf www.EigenEnergieWende.de   

Eigen Energie Podcast Folge 1: Die Grundlagen um effektiv Strom zu sparen In der ersten Folge des “Eigen Energie Wende” Podcast erkläre ich euch die vorbereitenden Grundlagen, die ihr wissen müsst, um zukünftig effektiv Strom zu sparen. Pauschale Stromspartipps, wie man sie jetzt oft in den Medien präsentiert bekommt, passen oft nicht zu jeder Lebenssituation und den individuellen technischen Gegebenheiten in jedem Haushalt. Deshalb musst du erst einmal Informationen zu deinen individuellen Stromverbräuchen und Stromverbrauchern sammeln, damit wir in der nächsten Podcastfolge gezielt die größten Stromfresser in deinem Haushalt zähmen können. Heute präsentiere ich 3 Schritte, mit denen ihr die Kontrolle über euren Stromverbrauch bekommt.   Schritt 1 Nehmt euch die Stromrechnung der letzten 2-3 Jahre und schreibt euch die Jahresverbräuche in eine Liste (am besten digital mit Excel oder Numbers). Seht ihr da einen Trend nach oben oder unten und könnt ihr euch die Verbrauchsveränderung in der Vergangenheit erklären? Jetzt teilt den kWh Vorjahreswert durch 365 (Tage) und dann erhaltet ihr den durchschnittlichen Stromverbrauch pro Tag. Dieser Wert ist unsere zukünftige Messlatte für die tägliche Kontrolle der Stromsparbemühungen. Den kWh Vorjahreswert solltet ihr auch durch 52 und dann zusätzlich noch einmal durch 12 Teilen, um auch die Wochen und Monatsverbrauchswerte des Vorjahres zu kennen.   Schritt 2 Als nächstes benötigen wir eine Möglichkeit, um unseren Gesamt-Stromverbrauch regelmäßiger zu kontrollieren, damit wir unsere Einsparbemühungen verfolgen können. Denn wenn wir nur 1-mal pro Jahr über die Stromabrechnung erfährt, wie sich der Verbrauch der vergangenen 12 Monate entwickelt hat, dann erfahren wir viel zu spät, ob und wie viel unsere Einsparbemühungen wirklich gebracht haben. Für diese Kontrolle eignet sich unser Hauptstromzähler am besten. Aber das setzt voraus, dass ihr auch Zugang zu dem Zähler habt. Bei mir ist das im Einzelhaus kein Problem, aber wenn ihr in einer Wohnung wohnt und keinen ständigen Zugang zum Stromzähler habt, dann müsst ihr über den Vermieter, Verwalter oder Hausmeister um einen regelmäßigen Zugang bitten. Vielleicht schließt ihr euch auch mit anderen Nachbarn zusammen und habt feste Ablesetermine. Euer Stromzähler zeigt den bisherigen Gesamtverbrauch an und das sollte euer Startpunkt für die jetzige Verbrauchsüberwachung sein. Aber wenn ihr schone einen moderneren Stromzähler mit Digitalanzeige habt, dann könnte dieser unter Umständen einen unglaublich coolen Zusatznutzen bieten, den kaum jemand kennt, der aber eine riesige Hilfe für die Stromüberwachung ist. Denn viele digitale Zähler bieten eine Funktion um den Verbrauch der letzte 7, 30 oder 365 Tage, sowie den aktuellen Stromverbrauch in eurem Haushalt anzuzeigen. Dafür muss der Zähler aber in der Regel mit einem PIN-Code freigeschaltet werden und das macht ihr so: Fotografiert eure Zählernummer am besten mit dem Handy und kontaktiert dann euren Messstellenbetreiber, also der euren Stromzähler verwaltet, um den PIN-Code zum Freischalten dieser Funktion anzufordern. Viele Anbieter haben dafür schon eine Kontaktmöglichkeit über deren Website und ein paar Tage später sollte dann den Pin per eMail oder Post bei euch eingehen. Dieser PIN-Code muss nun, je nach Zählertyp, entweder durch das Drücken einer Taste oder mit Hilfe einer Taschenlampe durch eine Art Morsecode eingegeben. Nach der erfolgreichen Eingabe konnte ich all die Verbrauchswerte der vergangenen 365 Tage sehen, aber auch den sekundengenauen Momentanverbrauch im Haus. Wer nicht ständig zum Stromzähler rennen möchte, um den aktuellen Verbrauch zu dokumentieren, kann einen kleinen Sensor (PowerOpti) auf dem freigeschalteten Stromzähler anbringen, der mit etwas Strom und einem WLAN-Zugang euren kompletten Stromverbrauch dokumentiert. Je nach Typ eures Stromzählers gibt es zwei verschiedene Sensoren (Infrarot oder LED). In dieser Liste des Anbieters könnt ihr sehen, welcher Sensor der Richtige für euren Stromzähler ist. Link zu den kompatiblen Stromzählern für den PowerOpti: https://poweropti.powerfox.energy/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Whitelist-Zähler.pdf   Die Sensoren könnt ihr auch bei Amazon bestellen:   Powerfox PowerOpti PA201901(für Zähler mit LED-Diode): https://amzn.to/3zlIezg   Powerfox PowerOpti PA201902 (Für Zähler mit IR-Diode): https://amzn.to/3B8m9oU Schritt 3 Jetzt wo wir den Strom-Gesamtverbrauch in unserer Wohnung oder Haus kennen, müssen wir uns auf die Suche nach den einzelnen Stromverbrauchern machen. Als wirklich unerlässliches Hilfsmittel kommen hier Steckdosen-Stromzähler zum Einsatz. Ich habe einige unterschiedliche Stecker-Stromzähler ausprobiert und nutze aktuell zwei verschiedene Arten:   1. Mit dem klassischen LCD-Anzeige Zähler siehst du sofort, wie viel Strom aktuell durch den Anschluss fließt. Je nach Zählertyp gibt es auch die Möglichkeit Tagesverbräuche und Stromkosten einzugeben und als Verbrauchswerte angezeigt zu bekommen. Ich benutze diese Zähler für kurze Kontrollen, um schnell zu sehen, wie viel ein Gerät gerade an Strom verbraucht. Und damit kommt man z.B. Standby-Stromfressern ganz schnell und unkompliziert auf die Spur. Die LCD-Anzeige sollte aber groß genug und hintergrund beleuchtet zu sein damit man die Anzeige auch in allen Situationen ablesen kann. Diese Zähler habe ich im Einsatz: Amazon-Link: LCD-Stromzähler mit Hintergrundbeleuchtung: https://amzn.to/3cr3g6t 2. Steckdosen-Stromzähler mit WLAN und App-Integration. Mit diesen Zählern könnt ihr den aktuellen und den täglichen Stromverbrauch erfassen und per App langfristig auswerten. Als Bonus kann man die Steckdosen auch noch per App an- und ausschalten, um angeschlossene Gerät komplett vom Stromnetz zu trennen. Meine Zähler kann ich auch als Zeitschaltuhren nutzen, wenn gewisse Geräte nur zu bestimmten Zeiten Strom bekommen sollen. Einige Zähler bieten noch Zusatzfunktionen wie z.B. den Stromverbrauch in kürzeren Intervallen zu dokumentieren oder mit etwas Programmierhintergrund lassen sich auch einige Zähler in die Hausautomatisierung einbinden. Gesteuert wird das über Apps oder je nach Modell auch per Alexa oder HomeKit. Viele dieser Zähler-Steckdosen sind sehr klein und kompakt und lassen sich gut hinter Schränken einbinden. Allerdings muss sichergestellt sein, dass es dort eine ausreichende WLAN-Abdeckung gibt. Dies sind einige Zähler die ich im Einsatz habe:   Links zu WiFi-Stromzählern bei Amazon: 2 x WiFi Einzelsteckdose mit Stromzähler und Alexa Option: https://amzn.to/3v6ndpv   2 x WiFi Shelly S Steckdosen mit umfangreicher Stromverbrauchsmessung und vielen Steuerungsmöglichkeiten für programmierfreudige Anwender*innen: https://amzn.to/3zqm3bf Eve-Energy HomeKit WiFi Steckdose mit 10-minütigen Stromverbrauch Dokumentation Intervallen: https://amzn.to/3aTjkO7   3 x 230V + 3 x USB-A WiFi Steckerleiste. Die 3 x 230V Stecker können per App individuell ein- und ausgeschaltet werden. Der Stromverbrauch wird aber nur als Summe für die gesamte Steckerleiste gemessen: https://amzn.to/3v7ejbk   Wenn ihr jetzt motiviert seid mit eurer persönlichen Eigen Energie Wende zu starten, dann beginnt doch mit diesen drei heute vorgestellten Schritten. In der nächsten Podcastfolge erzähle ich euch dann, wie ich die größten Stromverbraucher und Verschwender gefunden und was ich getan habe, um die Verbräuche zu reduzieren. Und manchmal waren das wirklich sehr banale Dinge, die mir vorher nicht offensichtlich waren. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr diesen Kanal abonniert und mir auch auf Twitter, Instagram oder YouTube folgt. Und vielleicht kennt ihr ja noch weitere Personen, die gerne Energie einsparen möchten, dann empfiehlt ihnen doch bitte diesen Kanal. Heute ist ein guter Tag um mit deiner individuellen Eigene Energie Wende anzufangen, denn Energiesparen ist sinnvoll und kann sogar Spaß machen.   Links: Episode Homepage: https://www.eigenenergiewende.de/podcastfolgen/folge-1-die-grundlagen-um-effektiv-strom-zu-sparen  Homepage: www.EigenEnergieWende.de Twitter: https://twitter.com/EigenEnergieNow  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eigenenergiewende/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6z6jpkbriYS3aqtQHIkFaQ  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/eigen-energie-wende/id1630446843  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5sJqi8JjclZoLm9GfoVUya   Dies ist eine www.PodcastConsult.com Produktion

Artists have been hit hard in the past 12 months of the pandemic. Yet some have managed to make the best out of the situation and created amazing new projects and ways to distribute their art. In this episode, we take a closer look at ways how artists can build up resilience through adaptation. Marco invited the artist and podcast creator Jeffery Saddoris to the show, for an inspiring discussion about this topic.     This show is sponsored by COSYSPEED: www.COSYSPEED.com and Luminar photo editing software: http://bit.ly/ppnluminar4    Jeffery Saddoris is a New York based artist who was born in California was born in California and became a technical theater major in college. After working on scenery and costume design at different theaters in the US, he changed directions and became an Art Director at Universal Studios. Since High-School, he has always explored photography and painting as a hobby and merged both passions together in mixed media art. After many years of practicing and teaching photography, he wanted to share and discuss the creative process in photography and art with the world. After six years of co-hosting the popular podcast On TAkin Pictures, he now produces his own series of podcasts on creativity like “Process Driven”, Iterations”, or “In Between”. He’s also the author of a great photography guide “Photography by the Letter” (link: https://jefferysaddoris.com/photography-by-the-letter/ ). Inspirational Photographer of the Month: Jeffery picks Philippe Halsman (1906 - 1979) as his inspirational photographer of the month. Philippe Halsman is especially known for his portrait photography of famous people. He has shot many cover photos for magazines like LIFE, TIME, and VOGUE magazine. You can check out his work on his website: http://philippehalsman.com  Main Topic:  In the main part of the show, Marco and Jeffery discussed how artists can build up resilience by adapting to the new situation. They share how adapting has sometimes even helped them to expand their creative horizons and workflow and also what they have done to stay physically & mentally healthy during this difficult time. Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: “Once” by Wim Wenders Wim Wenders is not only one of the greatest minds of contemporary film - but he also manages to transform his art of poetic storytelling into photography. “Once” can be viewed as a visual travel diary that Wender’s captured during his trips around the world when he scouted out movie locations.

Determining the “why” before the “how” in photography is essential to understanding your subject better and creating stronger images. In each episode, they introduce you to an inspirational photographer of the month and also share an inspirational photo book of the month.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the relationship between photographers and photo gallerists. And to cover this topic, Marco has invited photographer and photo gallerist Bastian Hertel to the show.   This show is sponsored by COSYSPEED: www.COSYSPEED.com and Luminar photo editing software: http://bit.ly/ppnluminar4   Bastian Hertel is a German photographer and photo gallerist. He is self-taught and his photography focuses mainly on street photography. Bastian has a very personal approach to his photography as he is trying to find subjects that fit into or reflect his personal emotions at the time when he is photographing. About 3 years ago, he wanted to bring his photography into the “real world” and opened up a photo gallery that focuses on street- and landscape photography. https://www.erstereihe.hamburg   Bastian picked Michael Wolf as the PPN inspirational photographer of the month. Michael Wolf was a German-born artist and photographer who started his career as a photojournalist and entered the art world quite late in his career. He became very famous quickly after releasing his “Life in Cities” and “Tokyo Compression” series. Bastian likes the consistency in Michael Wolf’s work approach by structuring his topics and working very consistently on his subtopics that also fit into a larger main topic. His work was exhibited all over the world and he won many photography awards. Michael Wolf died in 2019 at age 64. You can check out his work on his website: https://photomichaelwolf.com   In the main part of the show, Marco and Bastian discuss the topic if photographers and gallerists can be friends. In order to answer that question, they look at how a gallery is run and what is needed in order to bring a photographer's pictures onto the gallery's walls. This conversation can be very valuable for photographers as it gives a look behind the walls of a gallery and creates an understanding of what is needed in order to make the photographer & gallerist relationship work. Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: “Saul Leiter: Retrospective - Haus der Photographie / Deichtorhallen Hamburg.” Saul Leiter’s book “Retrospective” was published along with the retrospective exhibition at the Haus der Photographie / Deichtorhallen in Hamburg in 2012, one year before Saul Leiter died. Leiter saw himself as a painter and loved the color but color photography was regarded as “low art” for most of the 20th Century. But Saul Leiter managed to become one of the great pioneers of color photography in the art world.   Publisher: Kehrer Hardcover with 296 pages   Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2P8yRhw Publisher Info (ENG): https://www.kehrerverlag.com/en/haus-der-photographie-deichtorhallen-hamburg-saul-leiter-retrospektive-978-3-86828-258-0?___from_store=de Here are the links to Bastian’s work, gallery, and social media accounts: Web: https://www.bastianhertel.de Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bastianhertel/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bastianhertelphotographer/   Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1 Workshops: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops/   Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/PPNPhotoPodcastNetwork Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR software: Link: http://bit.ly/ppnluminar4 (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings)   And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

She is also an official X-Photographer for Fujifilm USA. She lives and breathes in pixels   Valérie picked Neil Kramer from the US as the PPN inspirational photographer of the month. Neil has inspired Valérie with his photo series that is documenting his life with his ex-wife and 86-years-old mother inside his two-bedroom apartment during the lockdown. Neil is a great example of how a photographer can find inspiration and a photo project even in the most limiting circumstances. Neil and his photo series have been covered by international media outlets, such as NBC’s The Today Show, The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan Japan, and more.  You can check out Neil’s work on Instagram: @neilochka https://www.instagram.com/neilochka/    In the main part of the show, Valérie and Marco discuss ideas on how to find inspiration and approach photo assignments and projects.    Current projects by Valérie:   ON ICE: https://valeriejardinphotography.com/on-ice   Objet du Jour: https://valeriejardinphotography.com/objet-du-jour Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: “Street Photography Assignments - 75 reasons to Hit the Streets and Learn.” by Valérie Jardin.   In this book, Valérie offers 75 hands-on photo assignments for photographers, that can get you inspired and motivated to go out with your camera and improve your vision and skills.  The book is published by: rockynook and has 204 pages.   Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/3iYZ3pQ  rockynook: https://rockynook.com/shop/photography/street-photography-assignments/  Here are the links to Valérie’s work and social media accounts: Web: www.valeriejardin.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/valeriejardin/ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hit-streets-valerie-jardin/id1155913704   Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1  Workshops: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops/    Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/PPNPhotoPodcastNetwork  Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR software: Link: http://bit.ly/ppnluminar4 (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings)   And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

Marco invited back his friend and PPN co-founder Scott Bourn to the traditional “end of the year in front of the virtual fireplace” Camera and Inspiration episode. 2020 was a very tough year for many of us, but instead of focusing on the bad (which there was plenty off) Scot and Marco looked at the positive things that they have done and learned in the past 12 months. And some of the things they would not have been able to do without the pandemic slowing them down in their regular routine.   This show is sponsored by COSYSPEED: http://bit.ly/cosyspeedbags and Luminar photo editing software: http://bit.ly/ppnluminar4    Inspirational photographer of the month: Scott picked Richard Sibbald who is one of Canada’s leading photographers. Richard has been photographing the world’s most celebrated musicians, movie stars, models and rock bands. And he is the photographer that captured the images to this month's photography book pic “Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass.” You can find out more about Richard Sibbals by visiting his website: http://www.richardsibbald.com Or you can listen to Scott’s interview with RIchard on Scott’s podcast: https://www.bigscottymusic.com/post/big-scotty-guitar-podcast-4 What are the positive things that we take away from 2020? In the main segment, Scott and Marco share how they have dealt with the many restrictions of the Corona year 2020 and what positive effects they were able to generate for their photography and other fields that could benefit their career in the long run. Here are some of the projects that Scott and arco mention during this segment:   - Marco produced a Corona photo documentary series and organized a group photo exhibition in a gallery with a virtual live vernissage and artist talk (in German). https://youtu.be/hB4H2sFSa9g   - This is a view at the magazine for the exhibition: https://youtu.be/nRfeeK1HzLk - The magazine can be purchased here: https://www.erstereihe.hamburg/products/magazine-stand-der-dinge-corona-krise-2020   - Scott was not able to follow the migratory birds around the county this year, so he focused on his other passion and made portraits of his guitars: https://www.guitarportraits.com   Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: “Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass” by Geddy Lee. Geddy Lee is the vocalist and bassist from the famous rock group Rush. He owns a huge collection of guitars that he had photographed by the inspirational photographer pick of this month, Richard Sibbald. This is a massive book (408 pages) full of beautifully arranged and photographed guitars. If you are into music or need some inspiration how a “product” photo like a static guitar can be filled with life and captured in a worthy manner, then this book is for you!  The book is published by: Harper Design; Illustrated Edition (18.

Valérie and guest co-host Marco Larousse answer listener questions, pick a winner of the last challenge and announce a new one.

We have received a lot of questions about finding photography inspiration during the dull and grey winter days. And while the gear is usually not what takes the first spot on our shows in order to find new creativity, sometimes a unique piece of gear can help you to see your surroundings in a new way. And one company that has been dedicated to making this kind of gear and accessories is Lensbaby. Marco invited Lensbaby founder and CCO Craig Strong to the show to get some behind the scenes insight on how Craig came up with the initial idea of the first Lensbaby and how the company and product line has evolved since then. And which of the current lenses will help you to achieve what effect.   This show is sponsored by: Marco Larousse Photography Workshops http://bit.ly/StreetPhotographyWorkshops   and   Skylum Luminar 4 - The cutting edge photo editor https://bit.ly/ppnluminar4  (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings) Here are the links to the Lensbaby products that Marco and Craig cover on the show:   Lensbaby Composer Pro 2 This lens uses an optic swap system that offers different flexibility for different effects:   Sweet 35mm Optic f2.5 - (spot of focus surrounded by blur effect) B&H: https://bhpho.to/39c3kRb  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/32D8Ae0    Sweet 50mm Optic f2.5 - (spot of focus surrounded by blur effect) B&H: https://bhpho.to/3cfeZAB  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2I6Hgey Edge 35mm Optic f3.5 - (Slice of focus effect) B&H: https://bhpho.to/2VDh4jN  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2vstcJN  Edge 50mm Optic f3.2 - (Slice of focus effect) B&H: https://bhpho.to/2PCK6wb  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/32BNNYm  Sol 22mm - (Selective-Focus Lens for m4/3) B&H: https://bhpho.to/2uE4DJo  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/32GIXZD    Sol 45mm - (Selective-Focus Lens for APS-C & FF) B&H: https://bhpho.to/3ahdKPl  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2TfpRHj  Trio 28mm - (Compact 3 in 1 lens with three different effects) B&H: https://bhpho.to/38eclYo  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2uNaH2w  Burnside 35mm - (Swirling bokeh plus outer Vignette effect) B&H: https://bhpho.to/2VzZwoA  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2PBvPQo  Twist 60mm - (Sharp center subject with a twisty background effect) B&H: https://bhpho.to/2I4F7jM  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2VxNGeH  Velvet 56mm - (Soft velvet glow wide open and crisp vintage look stopped down + Macro)  B&H: https://bhpho.to/2PynTPO  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2Tw5Gn6    Velvet 85mm - (Soft velvet glow wide open and crisp vintage look stopped down + Macro) B&H: https://bhpho.to/3874k7G  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2vsvNU5  Which Lensbaby is right for me? with Craig Strong (YouTube): https://youtu.be/NdqIYrdmP-E Links to Lensbaby and Lensbaby Resources: Web: https://lensbaby.com   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lensbabyusa/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lensbaby     Twitter: https://twitter.com/seeinanewway   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8jSBVHpxLOLo3lqAApAd5w     Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1  Workshops: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops/    Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/PPNPhotoPodcastNetwork  Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ppn-apple-podcasts  Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/PPN-GooglePodcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/PPN-fm Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR software: Link: https://bit.ly/ppnluminar4 (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings) And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

Marco invited Bryan Minear to the PPN Camera & Inspiration show where they discussed how to follow your passion in photography, choosing a photo style and genre, while dealing with the restrictions of our daily lives. Bryan is based in the midwest of the United States and found his passion for design and photography at an early age. He is a designer and photographer and his skills, the quality of his work, and his open mind make him a very popular person to be around. Companies such as Fujifilm, Capture One, and Gnarbox made him their brand ambassador. He also joined the podcast community with his own show on creativity called “We the Creators Podcast”.   This show is sponsored by Luminar 4: https://bit.ly/ppnluminar4    Marco will be speaking at this WORLD PRESS PHOTO event on February 27th, 2020: https://worldpressphotoausstellung-oldenburg.de/programm/street-photography-poesie-des-zufalls/    Inspirational photographer of the month: Bryan picked two famous photographers as the inspirational photographer of the month:    Edward Weston (Born 1886 Illinois - Died 1958 Carmel by the Sea) One of the most important US photographers of the 20th century and co-founder of the f/64 collective. He is known for his artistic B&W photography and he turned ordinary objects like peppers, cabbage leaves, or halved onions into surrealistic pieces of art. You can find out more about his work by visiting his website: https://edward-weston.com    Brett Weston (Born 1911 L.A. - Died 1993 Hawaii) was Edward Weston’s son. His father took him out of school at the age of 13 and made him his photo apprentice. Edward followed into his father's footsteps but found his own style of photography. He focused a lot on shapes through macro photography as well as shapes in urban space. You can find out more about his work by visiting his website: http://www.brettwestonarchive.com Main Topic: How and why to choose your genre in photography and your style / Do you really choose your genre or does your genre chooses you?   Bryan and Marco share their experiences and thoughts on how you can find your style and genre of photography - during their inspiring discussion they also concluded that sometimes your genre finds you. Besides tips on what you can do in order to find your genre, they also touched on the advantages of being an amateur photographer - as the lack of financial interests by having to take pictures to sustain your income, you are free to take pictures of people, things, and places that may not be commercial interesting but that can put you in the spotlight as an artist.  Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: “Aeroglyphs & other Nocturnes” by Reuben Wu. Reuben Wu is a British photographer, born 1975 in Liverpool. He is also the co-founder of the electronic band Ladytron. An introduction to the book from the publisher: “Simultaneously reminiscent of the slick, neon glow of sci-fi aesthetics and the cryptic symbolic language of ancient petroglyphs, Reuben Wu’s work is clean, yet mysterious. His photography hovers somewhere between the mythic and the surreal, between dream and memory, with an undulating sense of temporality slipping between the ancient past and the imagined future. Light and land are entwined equally at the center of Wu’s practice. By affixing lights to drones and using them to illuminate select parts of the landscapes he photographs, Wu draws precise geometric marks that hover in the air like beacons, harbingers, and signs. His work is concise, yet versatile in concept, offering new ways to approach the human relationship to nature, technology, and the overlay between past, present, and future.” The book is published by: +KGP 30 Pages $28 at: https://www.krisgravesprojects.com/book/aero  Links to Bryan Minear: Web: https://www.bryanminear.com   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bryanminear/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bryanminear   Twitter: https://twitter.com/bryanminear   Podcast: https://www.bryanminear.com/wethecreators/     Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1  Workshops: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops/    Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/PPNPhotoPodcastNetwork  Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ppn-apple-podcasts  Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/PPN-GooglePodcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/PPN-fm Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR software: Link: https://bit.ly/ppnluminar4 (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings)   And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

Determining the “why” before the “how” in photography is essential to understanding your subject better and create stronger images. In each episode, they introduce you to an inspirational photographer of the month and also share an inspirational photo book of the month.

Marco invited back his friend and PPN co-founder Scott Bourn to the traditional “end of the year in front of the virtual fireplace” Camera and Inspiration episode. And as this is also the last show of the decade, they look back at the past ten years and how it has influenced the world of photography.   This show is sponsored by COSYSPEED: http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC    COSYSPEED Lens Pouche Indigogo campaign: http://bit.ly/fundlenspouch    Inspirational photographer of the month: Scott picked Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto (born 1948 in Tokyo). Scott is particularly impressed with the Diorama photography that Hiroshi Sugimoto creates. It is a great example that there are many different areas in photography away from the very common themes that are worth exploring and that can lead to an excellent portfolio and make a photographer famous in a niche genre, too. Sugimoto has more work that is worth exploring and he has won many international photo awards and exhibited his work around the world. You can find out more about Hiroshi Sugimoto by visiting his website: https://www.sugimotohiroshi.com Here is a video interview where Hiroshi Sugimoto talks about his diorama work: https://youtu.be/q9GiyPbLYPg   What has happened in the past decade of photography? Some of the important photographers that have passed away in the past decade:   Robert Frank 1924-2019 - 94- Swiss / American Photographer. He was working for Life, Vogue and Fortune Magazine. In 1955 he received a Guggenheim grant that allowed him to do a social documentary in the USA for 2 years. Frank took 28.000 images during this time and 83 of these images were curated and published in the book “The Americans” that turned out to be the most important photo documentary of the 1950s in the US.   Peter Lindbergh (1944-2019) - He was a German fashion photographer. His image of five young models in downtown NY made the cover of the British Vogue in 1990. This started a new Zeitgeist in fashion photography after the high-gloss and make-up overkill era of the 1980s. He created a new understanding of female beauty with his black and white raw and alluring film images.   Fred Herzog (1930-2019) - He was a documentary photographer who was born in Germany and migrated to Vancouver Canada in 1953 where he documented the seemingly unspectacular everyday life of the city with his Leica on Kodachrome film.   Terry O’Neill (1938-2019) - He was a British celebrity photographer - He documented celebrities like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Elton John and so on. And he did it mainly in a candid photography style.   Robert Freeman (1936-2019) - He was also a British photographer who is known as the Beatles photographer.   Ara Güler (1928-2018) - Ara was probably the most influential Turkish photographer so far. He was also a Magnum photographer that traveled the world and captured many amazing images with his analog camera on B&W film. But most of his work portraits his home town Istanbul - his portfolio is an amazing visual history of this city. His nickname was the Eye of Istanbul. https://www.magnumphotos.com/newsroom/ara-guler-1928-2018/   Ren Hang (1987-2017) - He is regarded as a controversial Chinese photographer who was known for taking nude portraits of his friends. But he suffered from depression and took his life at age 29. His work is currently exhibited at the ℅ Berlin photo gallery it runs until February 29th, 2020.   Ben Martin (1930-2017) - He was a staff photographer for TIME and LIFE magazine who covered many memorable events like presidential debates between Nixon and Kennedy, JFK’s funeral, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s civil rights events.   Pete Turner (1934-2017) - He was one of the first masters of color photography. He started to experiment with colors as a teenager and his work merged the lines between art and commercial photography. He loved breaking the rules and this made him one of the most influential photographers of all time. Some of his stunning color photos can be seen in the book Color of Jazz. His most famous photo shows a giraffe silhouette with a bright red sky and purple ground.   Mary Ellen Mark (1940-2015) - She was a US photojournalist and Magnum member. She focused most of her work showing people who lived at the fringes of society. Her images display the empathy that she must have felt for her subjects.   Saul Leiter (1923-2013) - He was a US photographer and painter. His street photos of New York are beautifully captured and many resemble the look of a beautiful painting.   There are countless more amazing photographers that we did not cover here - many not as famous as they would have deserved to be but that have created amazing work. And we’ll continue to pick one photographer on each PPN Camera and Inspiration show in the future. But if you want to share other photographers that you feel very strongly about just add that photographers' name with a quick explanation of what you like about his or her work to the show notes below. Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: “Born Free and Equal - The Story of Loyal Japanese Americans ” by Ansel Adams. An overview from the publisher: “On February 19, 1942, U.S. presidential order forcibly removed more than 110,000 persons from their homes to one of ten "war relocation centers" across the country. All were of Japanese ancestry, but two-thirds were American citizens. Ralph Merritt, then director of Manzanar War Relocation Center, asked friend Ansel Adams to photograph the center, set against the remote mountains of California's Sierra Nevada. The resulting effort, Born Free and Equal: The Story of Loyal Japanese Americans, written and photographed by Adams, was released in 1944 to the American public as a book and exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Reeling from the impact of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and unable to make the distinction between American citizens of Japanese ancestry and the Japanese enemy of war, Adams' message was essentially lost on the American public.” The book is published by: Spotted Dog Press 128 Pages Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/Born-Free-Equal-Japanese-Americans/dp/1893343057 Links to Scott Bourne: Web: https://scottbourne.online  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourne.scott/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scottbourne  Twitter: https://twitter.com/scottbourne  Podcast: https://picturemethods.com/category/podcasts/    Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1  Workshops: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops/    Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/PPNPhotoPodcastNetwork  Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ppn-apple-podcasts  Google Podcasts: http://bit.ly/PPN-GooglePodcast Spotify: http://bit.ly/PPN-fm Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR software: Link: http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3 (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings)   And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

So many great photography-related questions were sent to PPN this year and Marco picks some of the best questions as a roundup to get you motivated and inspired for your photography projects in 2020. Please submit your photography-related questions to us here: http://www.photopodcasts.com/contact.html    This episode is sponsored by: Marco Larousse Street Photography Workshop: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops    Skylum Luminar 4 - Supercharge your image editing and organizing http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3    Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:   Hi Marco, 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 Link to Marco’s “Hamburg Unstaged 2017” street photography project on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qo2YUDUgV5I Hi Marco, You have mentioned in the past that photographers should not work for free because images have value and there is quite a high direct cost involved with photography (like camera, lens, training, storage, software, computer, etc.). But would you consider to work for free for a charitable non-profit organization? I have been approached by a local organization and would like to hear your opinion if I should make an exception here? Love the shows! Regards, Soeren Question from: Soeren, Stockholm, Sweden Hi Marco, I have been shooting my first events and weddings this year. I shoot in color and often with a flash. Most of the time the color and white balance on the subject is pretty spot on, but the background with artificial room light is sometimes completely off and looks distracting. How can I get more consistent results throughout the frame?

Question from: Marcel, Vienna, Austria 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? Question from: Steve, Hong Kong Gear discussed in this question:   Battery grips for Fuji: B&H: https://bhpho.to/2SvvvFl Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2RNOK92    Battery grips for Olympus: B&H: https://bhpho.to/2SvFfPX Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2Gc89yV    Battery grips for Panasonic: B&H: https://bhpho.to/2SyEENE  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2RIKrf9    Battery grips for Sony: B&H: https://bhpho.to/2SyF8mW  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2UGO3ju    Battery grips for Canon: B&H: https://bhpho.to/2SChhm6 Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2TAacjj    Battery grips for Nikon: B&H: https://bhpho.to/2SxvBwh  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2DbFoOY 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 customer's house or display them at a coffee shop, they often have a different color tint. How can I avoid this? Question from: Matthew, Ontario, Canada   Gear discussed in this question:   Philips Hue White Ambiance LED Light Starter Kit B&H: https://bhpho.to/2PIWsC2  Amazon Germany:https://amzn.to/2qKhrvU        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!   Question from: Julia, Oakland, California   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?

Marco has invited back his friend and long-time mirrorless camera reviewer and expert Mathieu Gasquet. Mat and his significant other - Heather - are also the founders of www.MirrorLessons.com / and www.MirrorlessComparison.com. This show is sponsored by: COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC  and Skylum Luminar - The cutting edge photo editor http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3  Marco’s Street Photography exhibition: “Poetry of coincidence” will be shown at ErsteReihe.Hamburg Gallery from November 21st to December 7th. Google Map link: https://goo.gl/maps/PGaP9uhmHibQTURE6    Nikon Z50 Nikon is entering the mirrorless APS-C sensor market with this camera. This camera uses the Z-mount and offers a 21MP CMOS sensor with a 209-point Hybrid AF System. But unlike the Z6 & Z7 it does not have in-body image stabilization. But it’s also smaller and lighter than the Full Frame Z-Siblings while still offering Nikon-like grip and ergonomics. The 90° tilt-up and 180° tilt-down LCD is unique but may interfere with tripods if you want to use the LCD as a selfie screen.   Nikon Z50 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2reW1Xv  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/35iefpW  Olympus E-M5 III The new E-M5 III shares a lot of features of the E-M1 MK II. It has a 20MP m4/3 sensor with a 121-point phase and CDAF and a 50MP high-res mode as well as 30 fps burst and 10fps with continuous AF shooting modes. On the video side it shoots 4K up to 24p and Full HD up to 60p is supported. The EVF now moved from an LCD to an OLED system which should improve the viewing experience. And Olympus continues to make their cameras more weatherproof - a feature that I have started to appreciate - when it works - in recent months. The E-M5 MK III is now IPX-1 rated. Bluetooth has also been added for better connectivity with your mobile devices.   Olympus E-M5 III B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Xzrfol    Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2XxmnjB   Sony a9 II After 2.5 years in production, Sony’s flagship sports camera gets a refined update. While the sensor and amount of AF pixel stayed the same, the new processor improves overall responsiveness and AF tracking reliability. The mechanical shutter can now shoot 10 fps. A second UHS-II SD card slot also improves the ability to offload the images fast to SD-cards. But the upgrade from 100 Mbit to a built-in Gigabit Ethernet port plus implementation of 5GHz ac Wi-Fi also helps to offload the images quickly to the photo agencies.   Sony a9 II B&H: https://bhpho.to/34cqILW     Leica SL2 Leica announced an update to their Full Frame SL camera line. The camera has a 47MP FF CMOS sensor with CDAF and now finally a 5-axis IBIS is built-in. A 187MP high res mode enables the user to create huge high-quality prints. And a 5.76M-dot OLED EVF is also a useful improvement. The camera allows for 10 fps burst shooting with mechanical shutter and locked AF which drops to 6fps in continuous AF mode. And pretty much all of these are the specs of the Panasonic Lumix S1R, too. But the Leica does have a different body design and it has a beautiful top plate LCD as well as 2 SD-card slots instead of the 1 SD and 1 XQD slot on the S1 and S1R. What’s lacking on the Leica is a tilting LCD screen. At launch, the SL2 is priced at $6000 US and is about twice the price of the Lumix S1R.   Leica SL II B&H: https://bhpho.to/2KDRAg3    Panasonic Lumix S1R B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoT9zJ Mirrorless question of the month: Hello Marco, I have my Olympus EM-10 for 3 years now. Time to upgrade? Not so sure, I'm wondering if I rather keep it until I will start to see mechanical or electronic issues? The new EM-10 and 5 mark III are more capable (better image stabilization, more pixels, better Continuous autofocus...) but I still enjoy my ''old'' camera and knows its limitations. I think I would rather invest the money in lenses, travels or workshops, no? What do you think? Question by: Christophe, Canada We have a PPN Photo Podcast Network group at Flickr (click link) that is open to our listeners and photos taken with all mirrorless camera brands.

And they will introduce mirrorless camera brands by interviewing the respective managers of those manufacturers. They will also invite pro photographers who make their living working with mirrorless cameras to share some tips and tricks about their workflow.

Showing your photos as physical prints to the public is one of the most rewarding moments for a photographer. But at first it may feel a bit overwhelming to achieve this goal - but it may be easier to accomplish than you think.   Marco invited his friend and photographer Martin U. Waltz to discuss some easy steps and strategies that can help you to get your images into an exhibition. Martin has participated in about 25 public exhibitions and experienced many different approaches to exhibitions in the process that he shares with the PPN audience in this episode.   Martin U. Waltz is a street photographer, author, and workshop host from Germany. He mainly roams the streets of Berlin as this is the city where he lives in. In the past years, he has won many international photo awards and his images have been exhibited around the world. A couple of years ago he joined Marco Larousse and Siegfried Hansen in an effort to make street photography more accepted and known in Germany. Since then, the three have created the German Street Photography site. Contributed to publish the photobook: “Streetfotografie made in Germany”. And this year, they organized the first German Street Photography Festival.   Marco Larousse street photo Exhibition: “Poetry of Coincidence” November 21st - December 7th in Hamburg: Erstereihe Galerie - Lange Reihe 76 - 20099 Hamburg (St. Georg) Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/iQtbo3x3xfwTVqo8A   Inspirational photographer of the month: Martin picked Swiss-American Photographer Robert Frank (1924 - 2019) known for his raw and at the time revolutionary unstaged photojournalistic style. Robert Frank recently passed away and Martin wanted to recognize Frank’s work that will live on and continue to inspire many generations of photographers from the present but also well in the future of mankind. You can see some of Frank’s images on Artsy.net: https://www.artsy.net/artist/robert-frank    Martins previous appearance at PPN in the Camera and Inspiration episode #8 for November 2017: Camera and Inspiration #8 | PPN | November 30th, 2017   Setting up a photo exhibition. Here is a video that shows the last exhibition that Marco curated and set up at Berlin Photo Week: https://youtu.be/q4ki4rCEL3o Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: “The Americans” by Robert Frank. To go along with Martin's inspirational photographer of the month pick, Martin also selected a matching photobook by Robert Frank. “The Americans”  The book showed, unlike the usual American photojournalism of that time, the tension of American culture and the strong differences between wealth, race and different classes at that time. The book was not received well in the US in the beginning. Frank’s work was called out by critics to be inferior due to technical imperfections by his use of a small frame 35mm handheld camera for his work. The image content was also often put down as irrelevant snapshots especially by those who liked the US to be seen only from the shiny side. Only over time did the public and art world’s opinion change on “The Americans” and today, it is one of the most important “honest” social documentation of that time in the US.   The book is published by Steidl and has 180 Pages Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/32ZiTIM Steidl: https://steidl.de/Books/The-Americans-2131325657.html  Links to Martin U.

Marco has invited back his friend, journalist, and reviewer of cameras and photographic equipment Angela Nicholson to talk about the latest news from the world of mirrorless cameras.   This show is sponsored by:   Skylum Luminar - The cutting edge photo editor http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3  and COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC  Canon has released the EOS M200. The new M200 replaced the M100 entry-level APS-C camera. It still has a 24MP APS-C sensor and a 180° touch LCD. But the new Digic 8 processor is supposed to improve the AF with Dual Pixel AF and eye detection. Canon EOS M200 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IWGxxG  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2BmvCc8    Canon PowerShot G5X MK II The G5 X MK II is a high-end compact camera with a 20MP 1” sensor. It has a fixed 24-120mm f1.8-2.8 zoom lens. But one of its special features is a pop-up EVF and flash. The touch-LCD tilts up 180° and 90° down and on the video side, the camera shoots 4K/30p and up to 120p in full HD video. Canon PowerShot G5X MK II B&H: https://bhpho.to/33Dx6ek   Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2MmgfH2    Fuji announced the development of the X-Pro 3. This new iteration of the X-Pro line from Fuji will have a better Hybrid Electronic- and optical viewfinder and it finally gets a tilt-LCD. But as much as Marco has been wanting this feature on the X-Pro line, he has quite some concerns if the way that Fuji implemented it will be very convenient in real-life situations.   Fuji also announced the development of an XF 50mm f1.0 lens. But this lens will come instead of the long-time announced XF 33mm f1.0 lens. Why did they change their mind and was this a good decision?   Marco’s Fuji X-T2 has issues with the weather sealing and the Fuji Cam Remote app continues to have serious issues.   Fuji has also announced an update to the entry-level X-A5 that is now called X-A7. The camera has a new 24MP APS-C bayer pattern sensor with 8.5 times more phase-detection AF-Pixel than the previous X-A5. The camera has only 4 buttons: A shared drive/trash bin, a replay, a shared Menu/OK, and a display button. Plus an AF-Joystick that helps to operate the camera next to the 3.5” touch LCD. The camera will be available in 4 colors and will hit the stores on October 24th. Fuji X-A7 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2nYdB0U    Sony introduced the a7R IV. This is a 61MP full-frame camera that also offers a high-res mode with 240MP. The OLED EVF as 5.7 Mio. dot and the 4K video mode does not add a crop to the width of the sensor. Sony a7R IV B&H: https://bhpho.to/2BqoYS9    Sony also added the new entry-level a6100 and the flagship a6600 to their APS-C lineup. The a6100 is a stripped-down a6400 with a lower resolution EVF. The new a6600 has IBIS, faster tracking AF and uses bigger Z-type batteries that hold about twice the capacity compared to the smaller W-series that the other a6000 cameras are using.   Sony a6100 B&H: https://bhpho.to/31pU9rm  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/35IAFlj    Sony a6600 B&H: https://bhpho.to/35E6onz  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2OVAb5q  Panasonic has released the Lumix S1H camera. This is the video-centric version for the S1 lineup. The full-frame camera has a dual native ISO sensor with 24MP that allows fro 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording at 4K/60P. Compared to the S1 siblings with one SD and one XQD memory slot, this camera has 2 SD card slots.   Panasonic Lumix S1H B&H: https://bhpho.to/2qkXbjT  Panasonic Lumix S1 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Ip0pLK    Panasonic Lumix S1R B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoT9zJ  Panasonic also added the Lumix S PRO 24-70mm f2.8 lens to the lineup.

Episode summary: When is the right time to choose two prime lenses over one zoom lens? Additional questions regarding a better color management workflow. And how to set up the lighting in your photo editing workspace? These questions are answered in this  PPN Q&A episode #24.   Please submit your photography-related questions to us here: http://www.photopodcasts.com/contact.html  This episode is sponsored by: Marco Larousse Street Photography Workshop October 25-27, 2019: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops   Skylum Luminar 3 - Supercharge your image editing and organizing http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3    Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:   Hey Marco, just a quick general question: Would you prefer one camera with either a zoom lens or with two prime lenses? Question from: Marcel, Vienna, Austria I have a few questions regarding the most recent Photography and Gear Show (#24) with Ross Grieve. (Link-> https://www.photopodcasts.com/podcasts/photography-and-gear-24-ppn-color-management-is-easy-with-ross-grieve)  Though I love the results I get with my Colorchecker Passport, I've found it can be a bit cumbersome managing all of the profiles in LightRoom. Does Ross recommend keeping them all, or does he delete some of the more specific or odd ones after he's finished with the images from that shoot? If he does delete them, does he have an easy way to do it? Because all of the tutorials I read online were a bit involved.   He commented that he used the grey/white card part of the Colorchecker and also the part with all the colored squares. But the colored square part has a white square on it. Why do both?   Do either of you have any recommendations for the types of light bulbs and lamps used in the room where you do your post-processing? And where should the lamp be in the room, relative to the monitor?   Also, he commented on doing images on way home from a trip once, which was interesting because the light would continuously change conditions in the car. Did he feel confident in post-processing on the move because he had previously calibrated his device via the color management systems and therefore trusted that the device had it right even if it looked different to his eyes? Thank you so much for your time and expertise.

For the 100th PPN podcast episode, Marco invited Ibarionex Perello to the show. Ibarionex is a photographer, writer, educator, and podcast host. He has been working in the photo industry for more than 25 years and has written and photographed for publications including Outdoor Photographer, Rangefinder, Shutterbug and he is also the author of 6 photography books so far. Besides that, he is an Adjunct Professor at the Art Center College of Design and he’s a real celebrity in the photography podcast universe. He is the host and producer of “The Candid Frame Photography podcast” that he started in 2006. Since then he has interviewed hundreds of inspiring photographers, including some really famous ones, that are discussed in the episode. Currently, he has published more than 480 episodes! On this episode, Ibarionex shares some of the most interesting and memorable interviews with photographers that he has done in all those years and how it has influenced his view on photography?   This episode is sponsored by: Skylum Luminar - Simple and fast photo editing software http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3    COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC Inspirational photographer of the month: Ibarionex picks American photographer Mary Ellen Mark (1940 - 2015) known for her photojournalism/documentary photography. She photographed people who were away from mainstream society and toward its more interesting, often troubled edges of society. Her photography went on to address such social issues such as homelessness, loneliness, drug addiction, and prostitution. Children are a recurring subject throughout much of her work. She was very good with people so that they would trust her and open up their soul without acting or pretending to be part of the socially accepted mainstream.  “When Photographing I want to reach out and touch something that I feel is at the core of people.” - Mary Ellen Mark http://www.maryellenmark.com    Inspiring photographers that Ibarionex has interviewed and talked about in this episode: Mary Ellen Mark http://www.maryellenmark.com/    Joel Meyerowitz https://www.joelmeyerowitz.com/   Dan Winters https://danwintersphoto.com/   Safi Alia Shabiak https://flashbulbfloozy.com/   The Candid Frame episode with Safi Alia Shabiak: http://www.ibarionex.net/thecandidframe/2019/4/28/the-candid-frame-464-safi-alia-shabaik Links to Ibarionex Perello’s work and social media accounts: Website:www.thecandidframe.com   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Ibarionex/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ibarionex   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ibarionex  Japan Workshop with Ibarionex: https://www.nobechicreative.com/workshops#/tokyo-explorations-in-the-metropolis-with-ibarionex-perello-and-george-nobechi/   Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: “Making Photographs - Developing a Personal Visual Workflow” by Ibarionex Perello. “In Making Photographs, photographer Ibarionex Perello teaches you how to face and conquer two of the greatest challenges for a photographer: to consistently make good images and to see the photographic possibilities all around you.”   Published by Rocky Nook (and in Germany by dPunkt Verlag) - 320 Pages   English version: http://www.ibarionex.net/thecandidframe/2018/9/26/40-off-making-photographs-developing-a-personal-visual-workflow     German version at Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/34E90Bu Marco Larousse Street Photography Workshop October 2019: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1   Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm  Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ppnphotopodcastnetwork Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ppn-apple-podcasts  Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR software: Link: http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3 (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings) And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

Determining the “why” before the “how” in photography is essential to understanding your subject better and create stronger images. In each episode, they introduce you to an inspirational photographer of the month and also share an inspirational photo book of the month.

PPN listeners have requested a show on Color Management and Workflow as this is an important step in your photography workflow in order to get consistent looking image results. But some photographers leave this step out because it seems to be too complicated or they just go with their gut feeling. But thanks to modern technology, things are not that hard anymore as it used to be and on this show, we’ll explain the why and the how of a color-managed workflow in an easy to understand way. Because one of the biggest secrets of a color-managed workflow is that it’s pretty easy to do once you use the right tools.   We’ve invited pro photographer and color management expert, Ross Grieve to the show to take us step by step through a good color management process. Ross is a qualified member of the Master Photography Association, a Panasonic LUMIX Ambassador and an X-Rite Coloratti Master.   This show is sponsored by: COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC (use the discount code “ppn10” at checkout for extra savings)     Skylum Luminar3 - The cutting edge photo editor http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3  (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings) These are some of the relevant color management accessories that Marco and Ross cover on this episode:   X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Photo: B&H: https://bhpho.to/30Gou5A  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2LbtVmn    X-Rite ColorMunki Photographer Kit (Standard Display Calibration & ColorChecker): B&H: https://bhpho.to/30HYjLU  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2zqel0L    X-Rite ColorMunki Smile (Very Basic Display Calibration): B&H: https://bhpho.to/30DEJQY  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2LbjvU1    X-Rite ColorMunki Display (Standard Display Calibration): B&H: https://bhpho.to/2oKEKkE  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2KZ40zs    X-Rite i1 Display Pro (Display and Projector Calibration): B&H: https://bhpho.to/30Q24z3  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2PjYdJe    X-Rite i1 Studio Spectrophotometer (Display, Projector, Scanner, and Printer Calibration): B&H: https://bhpho.to/30JOHAc  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2Zr6EqQ    Printing and color management PPN More Gear Show #16 with Travis Mc Connaghy from Hahnemuehle paper: https://www.photopodcasts.com/podcasts/more-gear-show-16-ppn-how-to-print-better-photos-with-travis-mc-connaghy-from-hahnemuehle  Demystifying color management for your printing with Ross Grieve (YouTube): https://youtu.be/WkQQbbYrzlg   Getting Perfect Color in Any Light with the ColorChecker Passport Photo 2: https://youtu.be/TEzP8AynPos   Links to Ross Grieve: Web: http://www.rossgrieve.com  Twitter: @RossGrievePhoto Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rossagrieve/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ross.grieve  Podcast: http://www.talkingshot.co.uk Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rossagrieve/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1   Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://youtube.com/c/ppnphotopodcastnetwork  Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.

Due to popular demand, we share our thought on claims that the M4/3 system is dead. Marco invited Scott Bourne back on the show to step on their virtual soapbox and discuss some of the claims about the demise of the M4/3 system now that so many new Full-Frame mirrorless camera systems have entered the market. And in the second half of the show, they cover some mirrorless news, a mirrorless listener question, and pick the mirrorless photographer and photo of the month.   This show is sponsored by: COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC    Skylum Luminar3 - The cutting edge photo editor http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3  The claim “Micro Four-Thirds is dead, ranks pretty high on the clickbait charts these days, but there are plenty of facts and arguments that contradict these claims. For example, some people may see the introduction of the Full-Frame S1 camera system by Panasonic LUMIX as proof, that Panasonic will abandon their M4/3 camera system. While looking at Fuji and Sony who run two complete camera systems with different sensor sizes successfully next to each other, such a move can simply be seen as a move to grow market share catering to more photographers. Besides that, different sensor sizes do have certain advantages over the other and some of these are covered in this episode. Some cameras and lenses matching this conversation are: Olympus OM-D E-M1X B&H: https://bhpho.to/2CEmWhH    Panasonic LUMIX G9 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Jy9B0u  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2KxmzJy    Panasonic GH5 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2JQLhr1  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/31t1AP4    Olympus ED 300mm f4 IS PRO lens B&H: https://bhpho.to/2JQ4kBB  Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2yOsSTB    Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm f2.8-4 ASPH O.I.S.

The upgraded second version of this camera has improved in especially in the speed and usability department. A huge rear LCD and higher resolution EVF next to quicker start-up time and less blackout time between shots. Marco was also really impressed by the new USB-C option to tether the camera directly to your iPad Pro and run Hasselblad’s Phocus 2 app as an instant preview and editing extension to your workflow. And another nice fact about the camera is that the price has been reduced considerably compared to the release price of the previous version. B&H: https://bhpho.to/2ZLIOlG    Hasselblad CFV II Scott and Marco have fond memories of working with their analog V500 Hasselblad systems. And now Hasselblad revives the system with the CFV II 50C digital back. It attaches to old analog V500 cameras and turns them into a digital medium format camera system. But with the addition of the new tiny 907X body, the CFV II tunes into a very compact medium format camera for the new Hasselblad XCD lens system. And conveniently, that setup allows for autofocus, too.   Hasselblad 907X Special Edition B&H: https://bhpho.to/2ZPYrZ4  Olympus Tough TG-6 Camera SSummertimeis rugged camera time and Olympus added some improved features to this latest iteration of the TG-system that Marco and Scott discuss.

How can you deal with mixed lighting situations in a location and avoid different color casts in your images? What is lens diffraction, when does it occur, and should you even worry about it? And an alternative to Photomechanics for quickly sorting through your images.   This episode is sponsored by: COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC   Skylum Luminar - The cutting edge photo editor http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3    Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:   Hi Marco, I have been shooting my first events and weddings this year. I shoot in color and often with a flash. Most of the time the color and white balance on the subject is pretty spot on, but the background with artificial room light is sometimes completely off and looks distracting. How can I get more consistent results throughout the frame?

For example, the Fujifilm wide-angle lenses go down to f/22. However, I've heard of a quality impairing effect called diffraction which sets in at small apertures. What is this? Should I use f/22 at all? If not, what is your recommendation for landscapes and what is the purpose of f/22 on a lens? Question from: Peter, near Koblenz, Germany Links for this question: Lens Diffraction & Photography explained by Cambridge Color: https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/diffraction-photography.htm What is Lens Diffraction by Expert Photography: https://expertphotography.com/lens-diffraction/  Update regarding PPN Q&A #14 - Topic: Photomechanic Hi Marco. I very much enjoyed this episode, which was full of good, real-life advice on interesting topics. I have an additional suggestion for the question on workflow from Victor, in Dayton, Ohio. I do a lot of amateur wildlife and sports event photography, and even a full day’s street shooting can generate hundreds of images to review. I have tried Photo Mechanic on a month’s free offer, but I also tried the Faststone Image Viewer, which is free for amateur or educational use. Photo Mechanic does a range of extra things as you described in the show, but Faststone works in the same way by showing just the embedded jpeg extremely quickly and letting you move or copy the good images for later ingestion by your raw processor, and for my purposes this meant I could save the £170 cost of Photo Mechanic. One tip common to both programs: the embedded jpegs aren’t very large files, so although they are both great for a quick scan to weed out poorly composed and exposed shots, I find critical sharpness needs checking in the full raw file, so only use them to chuck out obviously unsharp images. I hope that’s useful, especially for non-professional listeners.

Street Photography with a System instead of lucky snapshots - interview with Siegfried Hansen.   This episode is sponsored by: Skylum Luminar 3 - Simple and fast photo editing software http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3    and   COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC  For the “Street Photography with a System” episode, Marco invited Siegfried Hansen to the show. Siegfried was born in Northern Germany and picked up a camera to become a street photographer 20 years ago after visiting a photo exhibition by André Kertész. He developed a unique photography style that leads to many publications and exhibitions of his work all over the world. He has solo published two books and has contributed to at least 13 more book publications. He is also a member of the prestigious In-Public (now called UP Photographers) street photography collective and some may have seen him appear in the Sky Arte TV Show “Master of Photography” in 2017. He is also one of the co-founders of the German Street Photography site and the German Street Photography Festival.   On this episode, Marco and Siegfried discuss how you can improve your street photography by working with a system and how going back to the same places over and over again increases your chances of getting a great shot. Siegfried established the catchy P.I.L.O.T. system to help you structure your street photography approach: P = Place I = Inspiration L = Layers O = Objects T = Theme   Inspirational photographer of the month: Siegfried picks Ernst Haas (born 1921 in Vienna, Austria - died 1986 in New York) an early adopter of Kodachrome color film at a time where most photographers were still using B&W film. His unique style of capturing graphic scenes and reflections in cities quickly attracted the attention of magazines and publishers. He was invited to join Magnum and even became Mangum's president in 1960. Ernst Haas photo books are very popular up to today and are often sold out. In September 2019 a new book of his will be published by Magnum and his estate. http://ernst-haas.com  Links to Siegfried Hansesn’s work and social media accounts: Website: https://siegfried-hansen.de  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siegfried_hansen/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/siegfried1961  Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/streetphotography/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/siegfried.hansen.1    Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month:   Siegfried picks: “Ernst Haas: Color Correction”  Hardback, 232 pages, Published by: Steidl   Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2jNm98T  Publishers Website:https://steidl.de/Books/Color-Correction-0318264155.html   The book shows complex, clever and vibrant color images that were never exhibited during Haas’s lifetime.   Marco picks: “Hold the Line” by Siegfried Hansen   Link: https://www.verlag-kettler.de/programm/hold-line#/    Hold the Line is a beautiful and clever street photo book with a collection of lines, symmetry, and color in public space. It has 56 pages and was published by Kettler in May 2015. The book is sold out and now fetches quite high prices on the used photography book market. So this is a reminder that sometimes it’s worth to get the photo book right away when it’s still available.  Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com  Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1   Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm  Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ppnphotopodcastnetwork Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ppn-apple-podcasts  Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.   Check out the Skylum LUMINAR 3 software: Link: http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3 (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings)   And please share this podcast with your friends and subscribe via Apple podcasts, Google Podcasts, or search for “PPN” in your favorite podcast app. We would also love to get your feedback.

Die Streetfotografie hat eine über 100-jährige Tradition. In Deutschland spielt das Genre allerdings eher eine Schattenrolle. Um das zu ändern, haben Marco Larousse, Martin U Waltz und Siegfried Hansen mit dem "German Street Photography Festival" eine Bühne geschaffen, die für mehr Akzeptanz und Wahrnehmung sorgen soll. Die Premiere war ein Erfolg.

Die Streetfotografie hat eine über 100-jährige Tradition. Entscheidend geprägt wurde sie von Meistern wie Henri Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand, Vivian Maier oder Bruce Gilden. In Deutschland spielt das Genre allerdings eher eine Schattenrolle. Um das zu ändern, haben Marco Larousse, Martin U Waltz und Siegfried Hansen mit dem "German Street Photography Festival" eine Bühne geschaffen, die für mehr Akzeptanz und Wahrnehmung sorgen soll. Außerdem steht der Netzwerkgedanke ganz vorne. Die Premiere war ein großer Erfolg. Die 150 Tickets für das Symposium im Golbeckhaus in Hamburg-Wintrerhude waren schnell vergriffen. In dieser Podcast-Sonderfolge möchte ich einen Einblick in dreitägige Veranstaltung geben. Ich habe mit den drei Organisatoren des "German Street Photography Festival" gesprochen, mich bei Teilnehmern umgehört und mich mit bekannten Podcast-Gästen erstmals persönlich zusammengesetzt.

For the “On Talking Creativity” episode, Marco invited Jeffery Saddoris to the show. Jeffery was born in California and became a technical theater major in college. After working on scenery and costume design at different theaters in the US, he changed directions and became an instructor for HTML and Photoshop - which eventually led him to become an Art Director at Universal Studios. Since High-School, he has always explored photography and painting as a hobby and merged both passions together in mixed media art. After many years of practicing and teaching photography, he wanted to share and discuss the creative process in photography and art with the world. He started the website Faded & Blurred, which was a leading source of photographic inspiration from 2009-2015, and still is a great resource today. Jeffery joined NY photographer Bill Wadman in 2012 to co-host the popular weekly photography podcast “OTP - On Taking Pictures” which ran for 6 years and 326 episodes. Now Jeffery runs his own series of podcasts on creativity like “Process Driven”, Iterations”, or “In Between”. He’s also the author of a great photography guide “Photography by the Letter” (link: https://jefferysaddoris.com/photography-by-the-letter/). Jeffery’s current short bio states: Serial Conversationalist, Podcaster, Author, Photographer, Painter. And on this episode, Marco and Jeffery discuss the creative struggles and sources of inspiration that artists and non-artists constantly encounter in their lives.   This episode is sponsored by: Skylum Luminar 3 - Simple and fast photo editing software http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3   and   Marco Larousse Photography Workshops http://bit.ly/StreetPhotographyWorkshops Jeffery picks Alexey Brodovitch (1898-1971) as his inspirational photographer/artist of the month. http://www.iconofgraphics.com/Alexey-Brodovitch/ Links to Jeffery Saddoris work and social media accounts:   Website: https://jefferysaddoris.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jefferysaddoris/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jefferysaddoris Podcast: https://jefferysaddoris.com/everything/    Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month:   Marco picks: “Photography by the Letter” by Jeffery Saddoris Link: https://jefferysaddoris.com/photography-by-the-letter/   Jeffery’s book is a comprehensive A-Z field guide for photographers. It’s visually a joy to look at and you can tell that he has spent a long time on composing the drawings and charts to explain the subject matter in a very organized and visual way. The book is structured in a way that you can look up a subject by the letter - for example, “A” like Angle of View or Aspect Ratio and read and look at the explanation and the accompanying drawings. And the subject matter ranges from old analog terms to modern digital photography terms.  For example, you’ll find out how a bellow is used and how it relates to our modern macro extension tubes and Tilt-Shift lenses. And this makes this book a fun resource to explore for a photography beginner as well as a seasoned pro. This book will simply make you a more educated photographer. And it also inspires you to take action with photo exercises.  The eBook is $20 and the hard copy is $30. Or you can currently pick up both in a digital bundle special for $40. https://jefferysaddoris.com/photography-by-the-letter/ Jeffery picks: “Avedon’s France: Old World, New Look”   Hardback, 792 pages, Published by: Abrams & Chronicle Books Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2VAcHqh Publishers Website: https://www.abramsandchronicle.co.uk/book/9781419726002-avedons-france-old-world-new-look/   Richard Avedon was fascinated with France.

This show is loaded with new mirrorless camera hands-on experiences and news. For this show, Marco has invited back his friend, journalist, and reviewer of cameras and photographic equipment Angela Nicholson. This show is sponsored by:   Skylum Luminar3 - The cutting edge photo editor http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3   and   COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC Angela flew all the way to Rome to test out the new Fuji X-T30 camera. The new X-T30 replaced the X-T30 and gains some features of the top of the line X-T3, like the 26.1 MP BSI sensor, the AF-joystick, and a faster AF. But some features as lacking from the big brother like the second SD-card slot, the high res EVF, and the dedicated ISO dial. Angela has used the camera and shares her experience with it and how it compares to the X-T3. Just after we were done recording, Fuji issued a FW 1.01 update to lessen the effect of the X-T30 “accidental Q-button engagement.” After installing and testing the Q-button update, Angela has added her findings at the bottom of the X-T30 review at CameraJabber.com: https://camerajabber.com/fujifilm-x-t30-review/   Fuji X-T30 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IpXtPa Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2NnJPLr Fuji released FW update 3.0 for the X-T3. The main improvements cover face and eye detect AF accuracy. Face AF priority has also been added - you can now select the face to focus and meter for when there are multiple people in the frame. And another improvement enables faster AF speed for subjects at a distance. X-T3 FW update on Fuji’s website: Fuji website: https://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/xt3/index.html Fuji Camera Remote App for iOS update. With this update to App V4.0 Marco thinks that the software has finally been improved from “painful to use” to “somewhat usable.” Marco discusses in the show what he thinks is still lacking from the program and urges all camera manufacturers to invest more effort in the features and usability of their smartphone apps. “If they want to compete with the constantly improving cameras on smartphones, they need to make their apps to be desirable to use and easy to pair to multiple devices. Panasonic has released the Lumix G95/G90. Angela has had a hands-on with the camera and shares if this Lumix camera is more for the photographer, the videographer, or a truly 50-50 usable hybrid camera. Panasonic Lumix G95/G90 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2GuOg3T   Angela also had a longer hands-on with the Panasonic Lumix S1 and S1R cameras and chimes in with her experience and opinion of those cameras in comparison to other FF mirrorless cameras on the market. And she also shares if she would prefer the S1 or S1R in her camera bag. Panasonic Lumix S1 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Ip0pLK   Panasonic Lumix S1R B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoT9zJ Ricoh introduced the new GR III camera. Both, Angela and Marco have tested the new compact mirrorless camera from Ricoh with its new 24MP APS-C sensor and newly rendered 28mm EFV lens. The rear LCD now is touch-enabled but there are a few things that Marco would have liked to see improved in this latest update to match this camera better to the target audience of street and travel photographers. Ricoh GR III B&H: https://bhpho.to/2GwfHdw Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2IEkOvN Leica has introduced the Q2. The updated Q still has the fantastic fixed 28mm f1.7 lens but gained an almost 100% bump in resolution with the new full-frame sensor moving up from 24MP to 47MP! With this higher resolution, Leica implemented a third native crop mode to the camera. Next to the 35mm (30MP) and 50mm (14.7MP) in-camera crop modes the added 75mm crop still produces a 6.6MP image. The electronic viewfinder was also updated from LCD to OLED and the capacity of the battery was also improved. But the update did not implement two of Marco’s “like to have seen” features of a tilt-LCD and dedicated ISO dial. Leica Q2 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Gv1pdl Sigma will make 11 of their Art lenses available for L-mount in 2019. This should make Lumix and Leica SL owners very happy because Sigma’s Art lenses are high quality at reasonable prices. The L-mount availability will include the 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 105mm f1.4 DG HSM lenses as well as the 14mm and 135mm f1.8 and the 70mm f2.8 macro ART lenses. And Sigma is also introducing the MC-21 mount converter that will allow some of their SA and EF-mount lenses to adapt to the L-mount system. Sigma L-Mount lenses and MC-21 adapter: B&H: https://bhpho.to/2GuR5Sx     Sony FW updates for a7 III and a9 cameras. The FW 3.0 for a7III and a7R III adds real-time Eye AF, Animal Eye AF plus interval shooting of 1-9999 exposures in 1 to 60 seconds intervals. The a9 FW 5.0 offers a new AI driven AF for better object recognition and real-time eye tracking plus some changes to the menu settings based on user requests.   Sony FW update website a7 III: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce-7-series/ilce-7m3#downloads   a7R III: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce-7-series/ilce-7rm3#downloads   a9: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/e-mount-body-ilce-9-series/ilce-9#downloads Huawei P30 introduction. Angela has tried the new Huawei P30 smartphone with 4 built-in cameras and lenses. This smartphone offers a lot of versatility and features for photographers. The low-light quality is very good and even the computational DOF simulation of an up to f 0.95 lens does an impressive job of rendering fine detail and correctly applying it sharply to the subject or blurred to the background. But the P30 does seem to have some color issues in 4K video mode due to the new RYYB vs. the traditional RGGB pixel layout. But this should be fixable in a future FW update. Huawei P30 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2GuSJnb Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2Vm5729 Mirrorless question of the month:   Hi! One question about RAW converter and workflow with Fuji. What's the best process to get from Fuji RAW to Lightroom? Directly import RAWs to LR? Convert RAW files with Adobe DNG Converter and then import dng in LR? Use Iridient (or others) instead of Adobe Converter?

Episode summary: Is there ever a time when it is ok to work for free as a photographer, and if so, when would you make that exception? And with all of the new fancy full-frame cameras on the market, when would you consider a full-frame camera over a smaller APS-C or m4/3 camera?   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:   Hi Marco, You have mentioned in the past that photographers should not work for free because images have value and there is quite a high direct cost involved with photography (like camera, lens, training, storage, software, computer, etc.). But would you consider to work for free for a charitable non-profit organization? I have been approached by a local organization and would like to hear your opinion if I should make an exception here? Love the shows! Regards, Soeren Question from: Soeren, Stockholm, Sweden Hi Marco, I enjoy your Podcast very much. I am considering the Fuji XT3, but you mentioned on your recent podcast that you would consider a full frame camera for large prints. So just how big can you print with the Fuji APS-C ( XT-2 or XT-3) cameras that you would consider museum quality? Especially, with the new algorithm in Photoshop to up-Res your pictures or even using On1 Software "Resize".

  This week since I'm not feeling that great, rather than have no episode, I decided to rerun one of our earlier shows with an interview with photographer and podcaster, Marco Larousse. Tom and I interviewed Marco over two episodes but I glued them together to make it just one show. Yes, that means Tom is back! Here are the show notes from those episodes: Marco started taking pictures as a young teen and has never looked back. Digital and film are part of his repertoire and despite some of the differences shooting in Germany versus the U.S. (particularly with privacy laws), Marco and the Switch to Manual guys find they share the same passion for capturing images from the street. His striking photography along with his Fuji X Files blog (where he shares techniques, tips, and reviews of Fujifilm's great X-series cameras) helped him gain a rare slot as an official Fujifilm X Photographer. Marco's work can be found on his website where you can also check out his Fuji X Files blog. It's a  wonderful resource if you own a Fuji X camera and if you don't own one, you'll probably going to want to get one after reading it. Marco can also be found on Twitter and on Flickr. UPDATE: Marco can also be found on his podcasting site PhotoPodcasts.com

PPN listeners have requested a show regarding gear for good and easy ways to record VLogs, B-Roll, or “selfie videos” to share on platforms like YouTube. On this episode, Marco shares three of the cameras that he regularly uses for easy video production and explains the advantages and disadvantages of each system.   This episode is sponsored by:   Skylum Luminar3 - The cutting edge photo editor http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3 (use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” at checkout for extra savings) These are the cameras and accessories that Marco covers on this show: SmartPhone Lenses B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IWLOYd   Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2VJBeVY   SmartPhone Rig and Accessory Holder B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IYAhI9   Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2VO6mnD   Rode external VideoMicro B&H: https://bhpho.to/2ktSr5b    Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2C9sQrP     Audio Technica ATR3350 Lavalier Microphone B&H: https://bhpho.to/2KSTfMb    Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2VGW5cD     Canon LEGRIA mini X (discontinued) B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IYzruZ Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2EU76lr     DJI Osmo Pocket B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IscOi4   Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2TjrwNo   Grip and Tripod + Accessory Holder for DJI Osmo Pocket B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IYBlvD   Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2TlDh6c     Filter Set (ND & Pola) for DJI Osmo Pocket B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IYLBDV   Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2TpxlsC   VEGAS Video Editor for PC Website: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/ LumaFusion Professional Video Editor for iOS Website: https://luma-touch.com/lumafusion-for-ios/   A quick PPN YouTube sample video captured with the DJI Osmo Pocket: https://youtu.be/Tqe2wjTzKLI   A quick video shot by Marco on the iPhone and edited with the GoPro Quik App: https://youtu.be/8-25feBpaI4 Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1   Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: http://youtube.com/c/ppnphotopodcastnetwork Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.

Join photographer Marco Larousse and me as we take a look at how sometimes a shot you can see in your mind may take a while to find in the camera, and how persistence can pay off.

This show is loaded with mirrorless news and hands-on experience with some of the new cameras. For this show, Marco has invited back his friend, journalist, and reviewer of cameras and photographic equipment Angela Nicholson. This show is sponsored by:   Skylum Luminar3 - The cutting edge photo editor http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3   and   COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/Streetomatic Fuji X-T30 - Fuji has introduced the replacement for the X-T20. The new X-T30 gains some features of the top of the line X-T3, like the 26.1 MP BSI sensor, the AF-joystick, and a faster AF. But some features as lacking from the big brother like the second SD-card slot, the high res EVF, and the dedicated ISO dial. Angela has used the camera and shares her experience with it.   Fuji X-T30 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IpXtPa Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2NnJPLr Fuji announced the XF 16mm f2.8 lens. This lens is a much smaller and lighter version of the XF 16mm f1.4 lens. Its built quality is similar to the XF23, 35, and 50mm f2 range of lenses and at about 40% of the weight and 40% of the price of the XF 16mm f1.4 this lens may be worth a second look if you like to add a classic 24mm field of view lens to your bag.   Fuji XF 16mm f2.8 R WR lens B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoZb36 Fuji has also announced the GF 100-200mm f5.6 LM OIS WR tele-zoom lens for the Fuji GFX medium format camera. This lens will yield an EFV of 80-160mm in FF terms.   Fuji GF 100-200mm f5.6 R LM OIS WR B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoleXO In April, Fuji will offer a FW update for the X-T3. FW 3.0 will improve the AF speed and face & eye-detection accuracy. A new face-select AF option, when you have multiple faces in the screen, will also be added. Panasonic has released the final specs of the Lumix S1 and S1R full frame cameras. Marco has used a pre-production review unit of the S1R for a couple of days and shares the specs and some info on the usability and purpose of this camera.   Panasonic Lumix S1 B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Ip0pLK   Panasonic Lumix S1R B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IoT9zJ To go along with the new Lumix S1 cameras, Panasonic has also released three new lenses for the new L-mount. The S PRO 50mm f1.4, the S 24-105mm f4 Macro O.I.S., and the S PRO 70-200 f4 O.I.S. lens. Each lens fills an interesting niche in terms of focal length, weight, features, and price.   Panasonic Lumix S PRO 50mm f1.4 lens B&H: https://bhpho.to/2InALHr   Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm f4 Macro O.I.S. lens B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IqOopm   Panasonic Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f4 O.I.S. lens B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Ip0FdG Canon has countered the trend of making new mirrorless full frame cameras larger and introduced the compact entry-level EOS RP with a 26 MP sensor.   B&H: https://bhpho.to/2Ir5Rho Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2Vdcbux And Canon will bring out these 6 new RF-mount lenses in 2019:   RF 85mm F1.2 L USM RF 85mm F1.2 L USM DS RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM (super compact!) RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM Angela shares her hands-on experience with the new Olympus OM-D E-M1X camera and for whom this camera has actually been made.   Olympus OM-D E-M1X camera B&H: https://bhpho.to/2CEmWhH Sony has announced the a6400 APS-C that replaces the a6300. The compact 24 MP camera has been pimped with a processor and AF system that Sony claims is the world’s fastest autofocus. And with the speed, they have also added real-time eye AF and real-time tracking. This APS-C camera sounds like the cropped version of an a9, but we are wondering if the rangefinder style shape is really appealing for whom this speedy APS-C camera is targeted at?   Sony a6400 camera B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IDRpmr Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2SeBF8D Angela has tried and then bought the DJI Osmo Pocket camera with its built-in gimbal and 12MP photo and 4k60p video at 100Mbps feature.   DJI Osmo Pocket camera B&H: https://bhpho.to/2IscOi4 Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2TZVWR0 Mirrorless question of the month:   Hi! I mostly shoot weddings and families with a Nikon D750 and have an X-T10 for fun. I want to switch completely to the Fuji X-T2. There are other mirrorless brands but they just don’t interest me and I don’t want full frame due to the size of the lens. The one thing that is holding me back is the time between shutter actuation on the X-T10. I know Marco uses the X-T2 and was curious if he has noticed it on that camera. The X-T10 has a slight delay between shots and would not work in my professional work. Thanks in advance and I love all of your podcast.

Troy Christopher Plota talks about the future of photography and how motion in our still images can set us apart from the competition.   This episode is sponsored by: Skylum Luminar 3 - Simple and fast photo editing software http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3   and   Marco Larousse Photography Workshops http://bit.ly/StreetPhotographyWorkshops Troy Christopher Plota is an award-winning photographer and director who has been shooting advertising and fashion campaigns for 30 years. His work was featured in top publications such as GQ, Vanity Fair and on billboards around the world. You may also have watched his Ted X talk or seen him works as a photographer for Heidi Klum on Germany’s Next Top Model TV show. In recent years he has shifted his focus to become a motion artist and has since created a software and online platform that can turn any photographer into a motion artist.   Troy picked fashion photographer and director Herb Ritts (1952 - 2002 in LA, USA) as the PPN inspirational photographer of the month. Herb photographed many celebrities between the 1970s and 1990s amongst them were Madonna, Richard Gere, David Bowie, Ronald Reagan, and many more. But photography was not enough for him so he later directed music videos for stars like Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Britney Spears. He was a true trailblazer as he was one of the first photographers to also produce videos for his clients. You can check out some of his images on his portfolio website: http://www.herbritts.com/#/archive/photo/   In the main part of the show, Troy and Marco discuss the topic: Is the future of photography in motion?   How does Troy see the future of photography - especially for those photographers who make a living off this craft? The visual world mainly consists of still photos and videos - and many photographers have to offer both technologies to their clients today. Why did Troy think that the world needed something in between both technologies (Plotagraphs)?   What is the purpose and advantage of a photo with motion?   Where do plotagraphs work and what are the limitations? Do they only work on websites or can you use them on Instagram, Flickr, Linkedin and so on?   If our listeners want to create a plotagraph, what do they have to do?   Which images will work best for motion? What can you do when capturing the image to ensure that it’ll work for motion?   Troy has created the Plotaverse. What is it and why is it necessary to have another social media platform? Here are the links to Troy Christopher Plota’s work and social media accounts:   Website: https://plotaverse.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plotaverse/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/plotaverse/    Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month:   “A different vision on fashion photography” - by Peter Lindbergh.   The book is published by TASCHEN and it has 472 pages Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2SqffXg TASCHEN US: http://bit.ly/PLtaschen   “Fashion photographers are the new painters” - Peter Lindbergh Peter Lindbergh’s image of five young models, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawford, and Christy Turlington in downtown NY made the cover of the British Vogue in 1990 and it started a new trend in fashion photography and created a new understanding of female beauty. His black and white film images are raw and alluring. They show character, tell stories but are romantic at the same time. This triggered new ideas for the fashion and art world. After the high-gloss and make-up overkill era of the 1980s, - the back then fairly unknown Lindbergh chose a simple and natural “back to the roots” style with his images. And at first, he was turned down by magazines. But he was very persistent and eventually the new Zeitgeist and potential of this style was realized and created his breakthrough in 1990.   Marco likes this book because it is a collection of 40 years of Lindbergh’s work and it shows the influence that he has had on the fashion industry. His grainy B&W images leave a lot of room for the character, the natural beauty and the soul of the model and turned the fashion that was advertised into a by-product or accessory in the background. According to Marco, this book should belong in any photo book collection.

Determining the “why” before the “how” in photography is essential to understanding your subject better and create stronger images. In each episode, they introduce you to an inspirational photographer of the month and also share an inspirational photo book of the month.

Join the Switch to Manual guys for the second half of their interview with Hamburg-based street shooter, Marco Larousse. This week, Tom and Antonio single out some of their favorite images from Marco's work, eliciting some background anecdotes and insights from the photographer himself. If you like to shoot on the street (or want to and are trying to muster the courage), these two episodes are for you! Marco started taking pictures as a young teen and has never looked back. Digital and film are part of his repertoire and despite some of the differences shooting in Germany versus the U.S. (particularly with privacy laws), Marco and the Switch to Manual guys find they share the same passion for capturing images from the street. His striking photography along with his Fuji X Files blog (where he shares techniques, tips and reviews of Fujifilm's great X-series cameras) helped him gain a rare slot as an official Fujifilm X Photographer. Marco's work can be found on his website where you can also check out his Fuji X Files blog. It's a  wonderful resource if you own a Fuji X camera and if you don't own one, you'll probably going to want to get one after reading it. Marco can also be found on Twitter and on Flickr.
