One of the most common questions I hear from other photographers is, "how can I monetize my photography?" It's a complicated question with many valid answers. Most importantly, it's crucial for photographers to understand some of the complex underpinnings, psychological challenges, ethical questions, and the impacts on creativity that often accompany monetization in landscape photography. This week on the podcast I had an amazing time talking with Israeli Landscape Photographer Ilan Shacham. Ilan is one of those photographers that flies under the radar and when you see their work for the first time you'll ask yourself why you have never heard of them before! Ilan made the challenging transition to becoming a full-time photographer in 2017 and in today's episode we delve deep into monetization and internal conflicts that can arise relating to monetization. On this week's episode, we discuss: Ilam's journey as a photographer, Why Ilan made the leap to become a full-time photographer and how that impacted his work, Ways in which monetization both helps and hinders his photography, Ways to overcome the challenges of monetization, Actionable ways to make money in landscape photography, Educating the public on the challenges of making good images, Photographing Israel as a landscape photographer, The implications of AI and photography, And a lot more! Other topics/links discussed on the podcast this week: Support the podcast on Patreon. Here is who Ilan recommended on the podcast this week: Michael Kenna. Ian Bramham. John Leech. Alex Bazeos. I love hearing from the podcast listeners! Reach out to me via Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter if you'd like to be on the podcast or if you have an idea of a topic we can talk about. We also have an Instagram page, a Facebook Page, and a Facebook Group - so don't be shy! We also have a searchable transcript of every episode!

Certaines de ces images montrent des plans larges, alors que d'autres cristallisent autour d'un détail offrant au regardeur un spectacle tantôt macroscopique, tantôt microscopique, d'une montagne ou d'une fleur. Passée par le prisme photographique, la nature s'inscrit dans un cadre, qui à bien des égards évoque celui du tableau. Agissant comme un peintre, chaque photographe prélève une part du réel pour le magnifier ou le transformer en fiction, jouant sur les couleurs, effaçant le décor, mais aussi tout ce qui pourrait dater la prise de vue… Là où la mémoire devient floue, l'imagination s'envole. Les amateurs de Chaumont-sur-Loire connaissent l'engagement du Domaine en faveur de la beauté et du respect dû à la nature. Chaque édition de Chaumont-Photo-sur-Loire est donc l'occasion d'attirer l'attention de chacun sur le caractère précieux de notre environnement naturel, tout en célébrant des pratiques photographiques exceptionnelles.Ce respect est une composante majeure de l'oeuvre de Michael Kenna, qui réfute le mot “prise” pour insister sur le don. Le photographe, internationalement reconnu, récolte pour ainsi dire ce que la nature offre sans contrainte. Il laisse advenir à l'image le paysage qu'il donne à découvrir toujours dans un même petit format. Observateur impénitent, il est venu dans le Parc Historique du Domaine pour compléter la série des arbres qui sera présentée dans le Château. Dans un tout autre registre, les fleurs, les fruits et les détails naturels en majesté de Denis Brihat subjuguent. Telles des apparitions, ils émergent du blanc et s'affranchissent de tout milieu naturel. À peine reconnaissables, ils s'adonnent à des poses, sensibles modèles vivants. Immense artiste engagé dans son art et grand pédagogue, Denis Brihat crée des “tableaux photographiques”, fruits d'une quête tant esthétique que philosophique. Ils seront exposés dans les espaces de la Cour Agnès Varda. Les images proposées par Éric Bourret sont aussi d'une grande singularité. Elles proviennent de deux séries, dont l'une Arbos, totalement inédite, issue de ses promenades en bord de Loire et l'autre Primary Forest de ses marches dans les îles de la Macaronésie et des forêts primaires de Chine et de Finlande. Si le photographe arpente, des mois durant, la planète, c'est pour mieux saisir le mouvement de chaque territoire exploré. “La marche photographique rend lisible l'expérience du paysage traversé”, a-t-il coutume de dire. Chacune de ses images accueille une expérience physique, celle d'un oeil et d'un corps qui accompagnent la lente, mais inexorable révolution de la Terre.

The 2022 OPTIC Outdoor, Photo/Video, Travel Imaging Conference or just “OPTIC 2022” is live and in-person again and we are excited to welcome the event's director, David Brommer, to the program. Brommer will give us a sense of the updated conference, which after two years online is now a fully hybrid in-person and online event. Of course, we at the B&H Photography Podcast look forward to being back at the live events and talking with the many photographers who speak and present their work.    This year's OPTIC Conference runs from June 12–15, 2022, and includes presentations by Chester Higgins, Camille Seaman, Joe McNally, and many others. There are also opportunities to try the latest gear in specialized environments, expert-led panels, portfolio reviews, a sunset cruise, the OPTIC Challenge Print Competition, and OPTIC Signature Photo Walks sponsored by Lindblad Expeditions. Online participants can check the selection of available webinars.   After our brief chat with Brommer, we present a very important encore episode—important in the sense that it was our first recording at OPTIC, back in 2016, and because we interviewed three incredible photographers and really began to understand the potential of our podcast. Our guests were Michael Kenna and, in another segment, Paul Caponigro and his son John Paul Caponigro. Each of these photographers offer wonderful insights into their creative processes and to speak with father and son artists is always a treat. Join us for this enjoyable conversation and register for OPTIC 2022 here.   Today's episode is sponsored by Audio-Technica.

Arizona born American photographer Jason Langer's love of photography dates back to his childhood in Ashland, Oregon.  Groomed on a Mamiya C330 twin-lens reflex, he developed his work in a makeshift darkroom cum hall closet in his family home before moving on to more advanced technology at the University of Oregon, where he earned a degree in photography.  Following graduation, Langer worked as an apprentice and printer for some of the San Francisco Bay Area's most renowned photographers, including Ruth Bernhard, Arthur Tress, and Michael Kenna, who became a lifelong mentor and friend. Langer descends from a tradition of photographers—George Krause, Ralph Gibson, Roy deCarava, Bill Brandt, Matt Mahurin—who photograph what is physically happening in the world, but a world in which the unexpected appears for brief glimpses before returning to generally accepted social norms. Langer's work has appeared in numerous publications including American Photo, Life, The New Yorker, The New York Times, Time, and Vanity Fair.  In addition, his in the permanent and private collections of the Rutgers University, Sir Elton John, Sir Mick Jagger, Yale University Art Gallery, and the Zimmerli Art Museum. He has published three monographs: Secret City (2006), Possession (2013) and Twenty Years (2015). He is currently working on a fourth book titled Berlin.

早安,我是叶梓,今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1544天。今天是周三,我们应该来谈一个有关审美的话题,今天想跟大家谈一个有关于我们用质感去填充画面中原本空无一物的空间这么一个话题。什么意思呢?就是说有的时候我们想让画面有点意境,我们就不会把这个事物填充在整个照片里的每一个角落,我们会出现大量的留白,对吧。我补充一下,这个留白的“白”字不是指的白色的白,是指的一种空间,那里边没有什么很确切的物体。实际上这个留白留出来的可能是黑,可能是蓝,可能是红……什么都可以,只要它是几乎空无一物的就行。那么这个留白留出来以后呢,画面主体当然就会变得比较突出,重点非常清晰,观众看这张照片不会需要很费力气,而且因为有大量空白,所以它有一个发呆的这么一种气氛在里面。但是如果你真的留的是纯白纯白的白,也就像下图这样,曝光过度的白,或者是那种纯黑纯黑的黑,是完全曝光不足的黑。那这个时候画面中真的是空无一物了,观众是眼睛看瞎了也看不出里边还有什么别的东西来。所以它们其实就没有必要在你的照片上花什么心思了,喵一眼就了解了。转身就走。image by Pexels from Pixabay这种真真正正的纯白、纯黑还有另外一个缺点,就是它没有了照片独有的、摄影独有的那一种真实感,因为世界上所有的物体都是有质感的。所谓质感其实就是指它的表面有一些独有的、细微的结构。比如说一个布的表面的质感跟石头的表面质感是完全不一样的。所以你拍下来的照片,如果背景是纯白纯黑的,那就意味着这个画面里真的是没有任何的质感。没有质感的画面看上去就是有点假的,有点像画的,至少也是P出来的,对不对?所以我们更希望的是画面中充斥着一些质感。就像下面我这张白莲花的照片是个陶瓷做的莲花,我跟这个莲花之间是隔了一块玻璃,玻璃上有冬天常常会见到的那种水雾凝成的小水珠。所以在这朵白莲花的左右两侧,你可以看到里面其实是有细节的,你仔细往里盯着看能看到水珠,也能看到一点点的颜色的深浅的变化等等,肯定不是空无一物的,那块也绝对不是曝光过度的。所以这样的画面就会耐看一些,不仅在手机上用小图的形式好看,而且把它放得很大很大挂在墙上的时候它依然是好看的。© 叶梓和它很类似的是我在我们家小区游泳池里面拍的一张照片,拍的是我的妻子李杜宇。我让她双手拍打水面,把空气带到水下来形成很多小气泡。气泡多了以后,我拍到的水里面就会有很丰富的一些质感,很好看。再加上这张照片其实是由一个小卡片机拍摄的,我把感光度调得很高,所以画面中也充斥着一些高感光度带来的颗粒感。© 叶梓这个就会启发我们,有的时候我们还真的挺喜欢感光度带来的的噪点的。你会发现在网上有很多照片都带有很强烈的噪点,而且还有很多大师的杰作,噪点也非常非常明显,我们看它的时候也并没有觉得有什么不妥。甚至是我们在后期处理软件中,Photoshop或者是Lightroom这种软件里面,你还会见到增加噪点的选项,这就足以证明噪点这个事它不见得是个坏处,有的时候我们需要。下一次你在拍摄这种大量留白的画面的时候,如果你觉得有点无聊,不妨试着增加一点噪点,感受一下它带来的质感变化会不会让画面变得感觉更好。最后还是提示一下,有一种情况是我们真的不想要噪点的,什么情况呢?就是拍风光的时候,因为这是以清晰为美的画面,我们需要它保持最好的画质,噪点这个东西是越少越好。这就是为什么有的风光摄影师在讲课的时候会提醒大家,一定要尽量用最低的感光度,一定要带上三角架去拍照的原因。但是但是呢,我也要再次提醒大家,法无定法,在风光摄影领域也确实有老手、有高手是特别喜欢用噪点来表达自己的。比如说来自英国的迈克尔·肯纳(Michael Kenna),他的很多照片就有很强烈的噪点。© Michael Kenna那么今天我们的分享就到这里。顺便一提,昨天的语音有点问题,结尾的地方突然断掉了,所以今天我们在二条中重发,感谢大家的提醒。想加入我们摄影早自习微信群的同学可以加我的个人微信,我的微信号是:nihaoyelaoshi,加了我以后跟我说“影友入群”,我就会拉你进去。我为大家录制的更多摄影好课,请见“阅读原文”。今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1544天,我是叶梓,每天早上6:30,微信公众号“摄影早自习”,不见不散。

We encourage all of our listeners to register for the free digital online edition of the Outdoor Photo/Video Travel Imaging Conference (OPTIC) 2020 hosted by B&H and sponsored by Panasonic, Sony, Nikon, Canon, FUJIFILM, Godox, and many others. As most of you know, the B&H Photography Podcast has regularly attended this annual conference, in New York, and recorded wonderful interviews with the likes of Michael Kenna, Joyce Tenneson, and Ron Magill. This year, the conference will be held online, but still with an incredible lineup of photographers and speakers, including keynotes speakers Ami Vitale and Clyde Butcher. On today’s episode of the podcast, we offer a taste of the photographic insight found at OPTIC. First, we welcome wildlife and bird photographer Lisa Langell, who is also at Tamron and FotoPro Ambassador. With her photo gracing the cover of the current issue of Outdoor Photographer magazine, Langell discusses creating wildlife photography for the home and hotel décor market, about her favorite places in Alaska to photograph bear, and about the personal and interactive way she hosts seminars and webinars. She provides food for thought to those looking for new ways to photograph wildlife. After a break, we welcome National Geographic photographer and Sony Artisan of Light Pete McBride. McBride speaks of his amazing 750-mile walk across the Grand Canyon, which became a NatGeo story, and also a book and a feature-length documentary. At OPTIC you will get the full story—from “River to Rim”—along with images, but we also spoke with McBride about his long-term work shooting the world’s river systems; we gained some insight into aerial photography; and learned how his Sony a7RII weathered a year in the Grand Canyon—and with which he created not only a magazine story, but a book and a movie with that one camera.

In this episode Paul travels to the Bosham Gallery on the South Coast to chat with owner Luke Whitaker about their Michael Kenna ‘45 Year Retrospective’ exhibition. Michael Kenna (born 1953) is one of the most acclaimed landscape photographers of his generation. His photographs have been the subject of some 50 monographs and are held in the collections of over 100 museums worldwide. Kenna does not seek to present an accurate copy of the world, but to extract something original and emotive from it. He prints all his own work in the darkroom, ensuring that the tonality of his small, black and white images is evocative rather than informative, interpretive rather than documentary. Paul and Luke discuss some of Michael’s work, his process and how other photographers can be inspired by his consistency and aesthetic. Also, they discuss the reality of running a photographic gallery, what works and what doesn’t, along with how to finesse and create your own photographic style. Thanks as ever to WEX Photo Video & Fotospeed for supporting the show. We’ll be back in two weeks time when we catch up with a rising star in the Wildlife photography scene, Tom Mason.

Latitude Photography Podcast

Well, I survived Hong Kong. That’s about the best way to put it. If you listened to my previous shows you heard my conversation with Mia Beales with Guilin Photo Tours and how awesome that area of China is. You also heard about my other plans and what I was going to shoot there in HK. Virtually nothing went according to plan. To back up a bit, my initial goal with my journey was to show the opposite of what you expect to see from Hong Kong. In my head, I called it the “softer” side of Hong Kong. And to a large degree, I was successful. I was able to get out and hike some trails and photograph the lush landscape that you just don’t associate with Hong Kong. I was also able to find some fantastic structures along those trails, either where people live, or where they used to live. I started on Lantau Island. It’s such a beautiful place. And I had planned a very detailed itinerary and even designed it as a booklet and printed it so I’d have a copy for easy reference. I’ve done this before and it’s worked well. The main benefit is that in planning so much I have all these options and photo locations floating around in my head. So as I need to, I can alter the plan on a whim. And I did and it worked great. I still got to all my locations on Lantau Island, just not in the order I originally planned them. But that didn’t matter. I was having a blast exploring and seeing the side of Hong Kong that most people don’t even know about. Their hiking paths are rather interesting, and very well maintained. Lantau is rather mountainous, and these paths, for the most part, are raised concrete and rock paths that are about three to five feet wide. They’re so easy to follow you simply can’t get lost. And every 500m they have sign posts with numbers on them. If you get into trouble you just call emergency services, tell them the nearest sign post and they’ll know where you are. It’s great. I walked from the Po Lin monastery back towards my room in Mui Wo, about a nine mile journey. I only made it half way (to the main road) because I just kept stopping and shooting along the path and I was taking way to long to get this hike done. But I didn’t care. I was having the time of my life! This continued for a couple of days until my videographer friend showed up. My other intent for this trip was to shoot a series of training videos and he was going to help. I had a script all written for the main parts and then we’d get some more candid items as well. He showed up on Thursday, so that meant Friday and Saturday were essentially “recovery” days, although on Saturday we went to Macau and in total we walked about 11 miles! Then we got to shooting on Sunday and by Sunday evening we were doing wonderfully, things were really clicking. However, I woke up Monday morning completely sick. Totally and utterly sick. To make a long story short, I got food poisoning so bad I had to go to the hospital. I was upset, depressed, an assortment of emotions was running through me as I laid there trying to get better. I cancelled my China Excursion. After all, I know my health is more important than getting any shot, and I also know myself. I knew that I had a good chance of being released on Wednesday and with my need to get on the train to China on Thursday, that was just going to be too much. As I laid there I started thinking about a whole bunch of things. I had time, and thinking was about all I could do, that and watch meaningless TV. I thought about how this summer had led up to me going to HK, and what I planned to do after I got back. I became rather retrospective. I began to think, “what’s important here?” What can I still get out of this trip to HK, and more broadly, am I doing what I need to do in life to achieve my goals? What are my goals? And this is why this episode is called “turning point.” In that hospital bed I believe I was able to contemplate a few things and that started me down this mental journey of honing my ideas and getting things in line where they need to be. In reality my first decisions along this line took form in November 2017, when my business partner and I decided that it was time to either make it or break it as far as my company, Brent Rents Lenses, is concerned. I’d been working on that for 3.5 years at that time and things weren’t going as planned there either. We set a plan in motion that would either see growth, or, as it turns out, demise. So in July I announced that the company was closing. My job has also seen some changes. I’ve been working on reducing some of the “extra” stuff I do so I can spend more time on curriculum development. There’s so many things I’m responsible for that a regular faculty member isn’t and I’ve come to the point where I just had to start whittling away at things. So things were well on their way and the groundwork had been laid for me to vastly simplify my life. Closing things down at work so I can focus on my research and course development coupled with closing the company… They were painful decisions, but in the end, smart decisions. But what does this have to do with anything and why am I thinking about all this in a Hong Kong hospital bed? It boils down to one word. And that is failure. Or more pointedly, the fear of failure. I seemed that once again I’d failed. These other items I hadn’t really considered failure so much, especially not the decisions made at work to allow me to focus on what the school pays me to focus on. That was about reducing my overload. With the company, I’d come to terms with it. I was OK with it. Not a huge deal. But as I lay there the prospects of yet another item that was flopping on its face and I could do nothing about it. It got me thinking. Maybe it wasn’t the best thing for me to do, but it happened. I’m a man of faith. So my contemplation of these things certainly had a spiritual overtone to them as well. And I was in a faith-based hospital as well which did good for my soul, that’s for sure. The hospital chaplain visited and that certainly was uplifting, we actually had a few things in common. So I started forming some new goals and reforming existing ones. And these were larger ideas, not just focusing on my time there in HK. It involves my photography and it involves my work. And after having been back two weeks I think I finally have something that’s starting to take shape and something that makes sense. And after having been rather sour about the whole HK journey my thoughts were further galvanized. So here it goes. I figured I need a few things to happen. If I’m going to be serious about these things there must be some action. So I’ve identified a few of these things that need to happen, they are: I simply need to shoot more. I love the craft of photography. I love everything about it. However, compared to most of you, I rarely do it. I MUST do more. And so to do more of it, I welcome you all to post your planned outings in the Latitude facebook group. If you’re in the Pacific NW and I can make it, I’ll do what I can to get out there and join you. I was going to do just that with a listener who is currently at the Pendleton Roundup, one of the largest roundups around with over 75K people in attendance. There’s less than ¼ that number for their entire population! But alas it didn’t work out. My goal is to get out way more than I have in the past. And if I’m heading out on a shoot where I can have company I’ll make a mention in the facebook group as well. I need to write more. My blog and my podcast will possibly benefit from me writing more, but maybe I suck as a writer. I don’t know, but I’m going to do it anyway. I need to experience more. Whether it’s to travel someplace, alone or with the family. Getting out there is a driving force in my life. I need to do more of it. And that’s about it. It’s rather simple. My trimming things back this summer will ultimately help me achieve these goals. But I can’t do these immediately, at least not to the level I want to do them. I do have some projects that I must finish up before I can realize these three goals I just laid out. So, for the next six months or so I’ve decided to continue scaling back so that I can get these items out of the way and I can move forward. I’m pretty sure these “needs” will morph over this time as well and I’m OK with that. However, I’m not going to be a hermit, so there’s a few things that’s happening now. I’m still going to focus on that training video we were shooting in HK. I think we got enough done that I can still pull something together. My Croatia workshop is the only big workshop I’m doing this summer. I’ll have more on that later I’ve started advertising on my site about custom private workshops. Whether someone has a need that requires a skype conversation or if you’re looking to travel to my neck of the woods, hit me up. I’ll plan an experience for you or we can plan it together. I’ve decided that attending the Create Photography Retreat in Las Vegas this March won’t be possible, at least presently. This decision hurts the most. But planning a workshop and the lessons I’d want to present will simply take too much time between now and January and I had to let something go. Hopefully my situation can change, maybe one of my projects will get done more quickly than I expected, and things can change. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. My printing course is also still on the docket. It just got pushed back a bit. That’s one of my many projects I’ve been vaguely talking about. So that pretty much sums up my summer. One where pretty much nothing went according to plan and yet it’s all still falling into place. It tends to work out somehow J My time in the HK hospital also got me thinking specifically about my approach to photography in general. I claim that I like to be “thoughtful and purposeful” in my craft, but am I really? I think I still too often fall into a “spray and pray” shooting category, and sometimes I admit that’s needed. I had time to get rather philosophical and I recalled some images from Michael Kenna. If you haven’t seen his work, you absolutely should look him up. He’s one of my ultimate photography heroes. He’s an absolute master at simplifying the scene so the only items that are left are the ones that matter. And the images are so incredibly strong. He shoots B&W film and that too is awesome. I also turned to some of David DuChemin’s work. He too is an inspiration. You should look him up as well if you’re not familiar with his work. With these thoughts in mind, I knew I needed to rework my approach to my own photography. I believe I was already leaning this direction with my work in Hong Kong but as I was getting frustrated at my inability to be “efficient” at getting shots I knew something was awry with my outlook and my expectations. I then started thinking about my Croatia workshop and how that really wasn’t fulfilling my expectations either. My previous plan had us bouncing all over the place and not spending enough time going deep and really getting what we need to get out of a location. Allow me to read my new description here: Exquisite landscapes amidst rich culture and history… For me, this is what Croatia is about. On this tour you’ll be challenged to dig deep into the very fiber of what makes you a photographer. Whether you’re a beginner and you’re starting to explore what that means for you, or if you’re a seasoned shooter, you’ll be challenged to create a body of work that only you can create. There will be up to six students, and with that, there will be at least six different points of view on how to best photograph our locations. There will be times where you’ll feel frustrated. That happens frequently when we strive for perfection. I’ve crafted this photo workshop tour to provide ample time for you to not only discover a fantastic nation and its people, but to also discover something new about your photography. We do this through constant review and discussion as we’re shooting, and then with follow-up reviews afterwards. The plan is to spend enough time at each location to give you the opportunity to focus and hone your approach. I’d love for you to join me on this great journey as we experience the best photographic wonders Croatia has to offer. There’s also an optional jaunt into Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina planned after the tour as well. So the main part of the journey is about slowing it down and my intent is to provide more time at the best locations Croatia has to offer. However, I couldn’t resist offering a brief optional jaunt into Montenegro and a good look at two of the best items Bosnia-Herzegovina has to offer too. All the info is available on my website. I’d be honored to have you along for the adventure. Well I hope this hasn’t been too much of an expose of my inner most thoughts, fears and dreams. I suppose if you made it this far you weren’t scared off too much. Anyway, I so greatly appreciate your support through listening to this show, and I hope you’ll think it worthy of sharing it with others. As for the immediate future I’ll be arranging more interviews with other photographers for the podcast. Those will happen later in October and November of this year. So my production will take a short dip as I get the school year up and running. Thanks again so much for being here. Until next time, happy shooting!

I want to provide some commentary on landscape photography so you’ll have a little context for tomorrow’s Artist Series video on David Brookover. Landscape photography is probably the longest running genre in the canon of photography. Being a landscape photographer usually means drawing instant comparisons to Ansel Adams or Michael Kenna. David Brookover is a very unique landscape photographer in his choice of medium and printing techniques. This will be a very unique artist series video from a truly inspiring photographer.

The OPTIC 2016 Imaging Conference provided numerous opportunities to talk with some of the most respected nature and landscape photographers working today, but the highlights of our two days at OPTIC had to be our chat with Michael Kenna, the event’s keynote presenter, and our conversation with Paul and John Paul Caponigro. It is unnecessary to summarize the work of these three photographers in any quick description but, suffice it to say, each is a master of his craft. While their work is distinctive and unique, it was wonderful to hear of their common vision, approach—and yes, spirituality—and for this reason, we present their conversations together. With Kenna we spoke of process, why he sticks with medium format film photography and what motivates and inspires his work. With the Caponigros, we touched upon the spirit of art, how to communicate with nature and, with Father’s Day in mind, how to let a child discover his or her own path to artistic expression. Join us for these two inspirational conversations. Guests: Michael Kenna (1:30 - 30:05) Paul and John Paul Caponigro (31:00-57:10) Photo Credit: Paul Caponigro (l) and John Paul Caponigro (r)

Every year, B&H hosts the OPTIC Imaging Conference, showcasing the best nature, landscape, and travel photography. The 2016 edition was a stellar outing, with presentations by the most interesting photographers working in those fields. It also serves as a chance for participants to put their hands on the latest cameras, lenses, and gear from the major manufacturers. In today's episode we talk with gear experts from the most respected camera, lens and accessory manufacturers. Sigma: 2:10 Fujifilm: 10:18 Canon: 16:40 ------------------------- Lensbaby: 24:40 Sony: 35:20 Panasonic: 45:35 ------------------------ Tiffen: 54:12 Tamron: 61:17 Nikon: 68:46 OPTIC is a wonderful opportunity to embrace photography, interact with incredible photographers, and play with the latest tools of the trade. This year, legends such as Michael Kenna and Paul Caponigro spoke and presented work, and we will be sharing our conversations with them and other photographers in future episodes, but today we feature a collection of our talks with representatives of the major camera and lens makers. And while we tried to have them divulge secrets for their as-of-yet-unannounced marvels waiting for us on the designer’s tables, we had to settle for updates on their newest cameras, lenses, filters, and adapters. We also snuck in some chat about the current and future state of the camera industry, and a few laughs to boot.
