#323: Jane Bown the Master and photographing cops!
1w ago00:37:58Tap to summarizeThe boys are in celebratory mode, even if only for a couple of minutes over a certain football trophy, but fear not, they're hiding behind the couch with one eye scanning the horizon for what's to come! On the show, the dos and don'ts of client slideshows online, clients making their own albums, the accuracy of focus peaking, IBIS and tripods, Robocop-type stabilisers, shutter speeds and flash, and photographing the cops!

Transcribe →#322: Dilemma: Moving away from Fujifilm?!? and sneaking cameras into festivals
3w ago00:34:07Tap to summarizeKev and Neale suddenly discover that their little ones have grown into adults! This week on the show, does using AI to cull pictures work? Can it possibly be as good as living, breathing beings making choices? Also, how many images do/should clients expect to receive from a shoot, charging for event photography when starting out, insurance and 'part-time' websites. Neale finds out we still have merch; have you bought a show mug yet? What would be a good compact-sized camera to beat those darned festival rules that say 'NO CAMERAS!' The link between leaf shutters and flash, and how good is that X100 internal flash? How about adding the different wide and tele conversion lenses to your X100 system? Just how good are they? And then, steady yourself, we find ourselves trying to help someone face the dilemma of moving on from Fujifilm! Email the show with your questions: click@fujicast.co.uk For links go to the showpage.

Transcribe →#321: Buying third-party stuff, good idea? Swap to DxO?
Apr 2700:33:04Tap to summarizeKev's worrying if there's going to be enough tractor fuel to get him to Spain this Summer, 'cos at this rate he's definitely not going to be flying! Today, we talk about removing bits of the wild to make a better shot, Godox triggers and Bluetooth remotes which starts a micro thread of thoughts about buying proprietary camera accessories only, masking and swapping to DxO, setting up your Fujifilm camera, and camera straps - what do the boys use?

Transcribe →#320: Lost SD cards at a wedding! And dynamic range: WTF?
Apr 1300:36:07Tap to summarizeKev reveals how life could have been so different. Apparently, the priesthood was calling, until he found fags, swearing, and you know what. On the show today, lens choices for a man with serious GAS, top tips for photographers hiring or about to hire a second shooter, and a one-off, clear-as-a-bell summary of dynamic range at last. Neale shares thoughts about using Substack and Kev gives advice to an ME/CFS sufferer who is looking to find the perfect remote wireless triggering system.

Transcribe →#319: It's raining cameras and all hail the leaf shutter
Mar 3000:36:34Tap to summarizeKev chooses to shovel s*&t rather than shoot a wedding... perhaps he has a cunning plan to start a fertiliser company? Meanwhile, Neale is considering continuing his drumming career and covering himself in tattoos, as Kev's Book of the Week is an inspiring photography volume that goes behind the scenes with drummers. Also on the show, with so many Fujifilm cameras to choose from, which one is right for you, or are they all pretty much the same, really? In particular, we look for the perfect Fujifilm in the range to lug up a mountain, keeping the weight to a minimum. Why is a leaf shutter such a big deal? Who decides which third-party lenses can be released for Fujifilm cameras? What the f-stop is vibe coding, and is it about to change the landscape of web and app design?

Transcribe →#318: Finding your photographic voice and Kev's lost 35mm is found?
Mar 1600:31:48Tap to summarizeNeale has connecting flight blues, and Kev's trying to remember his anniversary date, but shhh, don't tell Gemma that! Meanwhile, on the show today, will the concave sensor catch on, and what does that actually mean? We talk about Fujifilm's incredible promotional videos and who we'd like to see promote the brand in the future, the best Fujifilm street camera, street technique, the next FujiCast meet-up, finding your photographic voice and post-processing style.

Transcribe →#317: DIY film simulations how to, and Street Do's and Don'ts
Mar 200:34:25Tap to summarizeNeale returns from skiing with legs intact, and now he's off to Bangladesh for his next expedition. Meanwhile, Kev is building his moat ever deeper around Castle Malmesbury, and plugins that will change your creative life have become his adventure: clever stuff, as he explains on the show. Also on the show, questions about presets and recipes for Fujifilm camera systems, a nod to Bob (ChatGPT) and how it can help you build your own recipes and film simulations. We try to work out why Aftershoot culling doesn't always perform as well as we might wish/expect for some genres and shoots, is the X Half worth the RRP, the best way or kit to record audio on your creative travels, street photography dos and don'ts, and what kit do the boys use for shooting video; Fujifilm or other?

Transcribe →#316: Third-party lens love and best newborn photo kit
Feb 1600:32:27Tap to summarizeKev and Neale are lamenting the weather: all hail weather-resistant lenses! Kev's also watching Mr Mercedes from behind the sofa - don't tell him the ending! On the show today, is Fujifilm mirrorless the perfect kit for newborn photography, when is the next FujiCast away day, and will Andreas like Kev's Valentine card enough that he invites The Mullins back into the inner fold? Kev shares why he released presets and Lightroom plugins and how they have changed his business, and why he still can't bear Apple kit! We also talk about third-party lenses and Neale sends Kev to sleep with some tech thoughts about podcasting. Email the show with your questions: click@fujicast.co.uk For links go to the showpage.

Transcribe →#315: The X-Pro4 is nigh, or is it?! And social media bans
Feb 200:36:40Tap to summarizeKev is becoming a lean, mean loving machine! Never mind giving camera advice; we're thinking of launching a new weight-loss cast! You'll understand why when you hear the start of the show. On the show, for the love of megapixels, when is the X-Pro4 going to become a thing? We wonder about other roadmap arrivals and talk about research and development, plus inspiration and age verification. We discuss how that will work and the social media channels where verification could have made the platforms far more child-friendly, pivoting into a new genre with excellent advice for tickling the search engines, and the best lens to take on a wonderful hike across New Zealand.

#314: Kev's desert island camera and zoom or prime?
Jan 1900:36:10Tap to summarizeNeale and Kev reminisce about driving tests; turns out Kev failed his a gazillion times! Also, firmware updates, what would the boys like to see improved in the near future on Fujifilm cameras, Kev sorts Neale's focus failures on the X100V, loaning out your cameras to family, and we ask whether the great Fujifilm zoom lenses can stand up to the quality offered by primes? We choose between particular cameras in the range, and we return to an ole' chestnut conversation; what NOT to do on Instagram, so a slight twist on the theme.
